I reset to camera defaults, it is using the same external mic, yes default to camera with Sennheiser MKH50 best mic ever used becomes BAD. External built in microphone audio is shown when in the webcam footage BUT it doesn't crackle like you see set as a webcam. The built in audio certainly isn't good. I removed the really bad sounding internal mic audio completely by mistake.
To see what is included with the camera, such charging blocks, straps, cables etc check out my unboxing:

For more Information on better webcam experience, internal audio and more… more videos coming soon.

Uploaded the first draft (unfinished) of my travel video. You can see the occasional pulsing (especially in low light), as well as the IBIS wobble, I tried to fix in post, but wasn't able to 🙁 – overall it's not bad, but I'm looking forward to our next trip with Sony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_IPjWtOjZw
Loving the new look. It is looking amazingly sharp compared to where it was. All the information I needed to know and more.
Really great review, one of the best coverages, well done! – few small comments:
– Fuji does look way better than the Sony, why is Sony so hyper sharp? – maybe reducing sharpness in settings will help? – but 8-bit shows its limitations too.
– Fuji also creates garbage files but in a different directory called "activity" – at least the Sony ones could be useful in catalyst browse, no such option for Fuji 🙂
– For autofocus, it also worked great for me in good light with 1 subject, but in low light, or multiple subjects, forget it.
– When you show it focusing on itself as a camera, that's the autofocus failing. It thinks that's a person, it also sees people in brick walls, trees, etc – any non controlled environment the focus is sometimes hit and miss. It is pretty good in the studio now though, unlike previous bodies.
– VLOG mode’s annoying limitations is it constantly tries to go to 1/25s shutter, which mostly you would never want, I wish you could limit it to 1/50s minimum so it raises ISO instead.
– The DR400 looks unnatural, but it allows you to keep the shadow and highlight detail to adjust contrast in post (a form of HDR). With DR100/200 the information is lost forever (it’s like an easier version of FLOG1 without needing LUTs).
– Would be good to mention low dynamic range on the X-S20 compared to X-T5/X-H2/X-H2S of 12.1 vs 13.6, it’s a big difference showing the sensor’s age. Not an issue in a studio setting, but for travel, it’s a big downgrade, that's worse than micro 4/3.
– 50mbit is PLENTY for h265 if there’s no panning/big motion, as you show in your review 🙂
– For vertical, I would mention it’s so much easier to crop than Sony’s 4k. You don’t have to change the orientation of the camera to film both horizontal/vertical simultaneously.
Still watching now but wanted to mention it's refreshing to hear a review where someone understands the video codecs and what all intra means, etc unlike all the other reviews I heard 🙂 – I guess Sony especially make it confusing with their own non industry standard terminology.
