I've had a rental X-H2 for a few days, to use at an indoor event. I didn't get it in time to feel confident enough to use it during the event, although I think I would have been fine since I was using my Nikon Z6II and 70-220 for the lion's share of the shooting.
But after a day of setting up the X-H2 and taking a few shots, it did re-ignite my love for my X-T4. The extra mp of the X-H2 are surely nice, but the files did show more noise than I'm accustomed to seeing in my final output (nothing that can't be easily fixed in post). I guarantee that's not a negative, but rather me just not really knowing how to work with the higher mp files yet. So I don't think there's anything wrong with the X-H2 or sensor or more mp. For my kind of shooting, 26 mp is simply enough.
However, I'm also so much more used to the features and functions of my X-T4. I can't say I've hardly given a fair test with the X-H2. I'll probably extend my rental a day or two, and not allow myself the use of any of my other camera- to force myself to really give it a go.
Ultimately however, if I find I do like the sensor and resulting output, I have a feeling I'll save a few bucks and get the X-T5. I don't do a lot of video (hardly any) so I think the X-T5 would just be a logical upgrade.
And yet, having tried the X-H2, I'm in no rush whatsoever. The X-T4 is a classic - not quite at the level of classic-ness as the Nikon D750 - but a reliable workhorse nonetheless. I won't need to rent an X-T5 before I buy...
Question, for those who have the X-H2: is the shutter release button "soft?" I use BBF, but when I press the shutter button to take the picture, it's soft to the point of being plush. Is that normal for the X-H2?...Show more →
I just touch tested my X-H2 shutter button and it feels and operates very similar to my GFX100S. So yes, I would say your rented X-H2 is normal. That shutter button action is likely a design goal of the camera since the X-H2 and X-H2S haptics are in general a close match to Fuji's medium format 100S & 50S II.
