what's up guys Eber here with hurricane axe and we were invited to an exclusive Fujifilm event here in Toronto and surprise surprise they announced a new mirrorless camera me bxt - the successor to the very popular XT one camera and that incorporates many interesting features for all kinds of photographers sports wedding poetry etc and for us videographers that's right my friends fujifilm is stepping up their video game to give the basics out of the way this camera features a 23 megapixel x-trans CMOS 3 aps-c sensor as well as the X processor Pro high-speed image processing engine that's supposed to offer great color reproduction along with superior low-light performance do note that this is an X amount system so you are limited to mounting Fuji lenses one thing I've always loved about Fuji cameras are the manual mechanical dials that lets you set the ISO sensitivity shutter speed exposure compensation and different metering modes I think it's more practical to have these doubts right at your fingertips so you can quickly adjust those settings to capture that perfect shot the rear LCD screen has now turned into a three directional tilting display so you can tilt the panel horizontally if you want to take low angle shots but you can also tilt it vertically which is always a welcome feature no selfie mode though unfortunately Fujifilm also announced a vertical power booster grip I know when you attach this module to the camera and enable Fuji films new feature called boost mode this maximizes performance by a slight margin for example you get 11 frames per second of high continuous shooting versus 8 the EVF refresh rate boosts to 100 frames per second from 60 the camera autofocus is a lot quicker and much more now on to the best part video features the XC 2 is the first mirrorless camera from Fuji film to shoot 4k video it supports bitrate recording of 100 megabits per second at UHD the same as a Jewish 4 and 1080p the input resolution is 51 20 by 20 and 80 and when shooting 4k it pops the sensor by a factor of 1.17 shooting 1080p the input resolution is 3000 by scene 87 and that gets dropped by a factor of 1 you'll also find a bunch of simulation modes and this cycles through different picture profiles there's an HDMI port on the left side that outputs a clean uncompressed 8-bit 42 signal and as you can see this was paired with the animal Shogun so you can record footage to your preferred codec whether that's Pro res DNxHD etc Fujifilm will also roll out a firmware update in the future that will add a new F log gamma option this will take advantage of the sensors wide dynamic range they haven't told us how many stops FDR would be there but I'm sure this will enhance the color grading workflow adding 4k recording is a great feature but if you're running out of storage do not be afraid there are dual SD card slots so if one card fills up it automatically switches to the second card and for photographers there's an option to set it up as a backup raw JPEG or sequential configuration what you're seeing right now is a native 4k file without any color grain added to it this was shot at ISO 800 with an F 2.0 aperture at one sixtieth of a shutter speed remember this is a pre-production model so the image that you see here may not reflect what the production model would offer but what I can tell you is that it looks stunning with proper lighting at low-light scenarios the detail is crystal sharp and I can't wait to test out once it's here in the studio I was also able to take some stills and judging quickly what do you guys think let us know in the comments down below all right guys Fuji foam has surprised us with the video performance on the XD - I love photography as well and I think that the image quality that's coming out of the sensor is clean and gorgeous I just can't wait for what Fuji film has to offer for us videographers and photographers but let me tell you this the competition is getting tough especially when you consider the price buy of this camera starting at $1,600 and also leave a like in this video if you want us to test out the full potential of the XD - for video especially since the price point is so much closer to the gh4 and also don't forget to share your thoughts on the sample footage I've shown or posted in this video I need bar with harbor connects thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
