Their X-H2S is their go-to video camera and it's great.

“The xh2s is my go to for video and it's great.”

Uses the X-H2S for client work; 26MP is plenty and open gate helps vertical video.

Their X-H2S overheats in under 15 minutes of 4K120 in 50°C heat, but runs 40 minutes otherwise.

Tried the X-H2S with the 50-140 for red-carpet work and found its autofocus couldn't keep up with fast-walking actors and waving hands, forcing manual focus; went back to their a7R V.
