![]() ![]() In addition to the PASM and video modes, there's also rather curiously a Filter option and also a huge number of Custom shooting modes - 7 in fact - which is the most that we've ever seen on any camera. Most notably, the classic Fujifilm ISO and Shutter Speed dials that were located on top of the XH1 have made way for a lockable, DSLR-like PASM dial on this new model, positioned to the left of the viewfinder. Long known for their retro styling and plethora of traditional controls, Fuji have decided to drastically pare back the XH2S interface, so much so that it bears little resemblance to its forebear. What will become quickly apparent, though, is the radically different control layout of this latest camera. If you're a long-time user of the XH1 than you won't notice too much difference between them in size and weight. Measuring 135.5 x 92.9 x 86.9mm and weighing 660g, the new X-H2S is slightly smaller but slightly heavier than the X-H1 (which measures 140 x 97 x 86 mm and 623g), although not by that much. The new stacked sensor, latest processor and updated computational AF system enable the X-H2S to achieve things that no Fuji camera has managed before, whether that's seamlessly tracking action and wildlife and capturing at 40 frames per second, or recording in 4K/120p quality (with 6K/30p also available).įrom the front the new Fujifilm X-H2S is outwardly quite similar to the 4-year-old X-H1 model that it succeeds, but a closer look reveals that Fuji have taken a rather different design approach with this new model. With the 40 megapixel X-H2 model due for release before the end of 2022, the 26 megapixels offered by the XH2S may seem somewhat pedestrian, but this camera is focused on out-and-out speed rather than resolution (although we'd argue that 26 megapixels is more than enough for most uses). ![]() You may not like the less traditional, less Fuji-like user interface or the rather eye-watering price-tag, but if you want the fastest, most cutting edge cropped-sensor camera on the market, this is the one to spring for. Ease of Useīefore we go any further, it's clear that after a few weeks of using the X-H2S, it's definitely the most capable APS-C sensor camera that Fujifilm have ever released, both for photographers and videographers, and is fully deserving of its flagship status. The Fujifilm X-H2S is available in Black priced at £2499 / $2499 for the camera body only in the UK and US respectively. ![]() The X-H2S additionally offers exposure compensation up to ±5 stops, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 720-shot battery life and USB-C charging, interval timer shooting, in-camera raw conversion, multiple exposure and panoramic shooting modes, and an ultra-fast electronic shutter that is capable of exposures up to 1/32000sec. The X-H2S can now automatically detect animals, birds, cars, bikes, planes and trains thanks to the X-Processor 5's AI deep learning capabilities, a feature that no Fujifilm camera has had before. There are 425 AF points with phase detection pixels across the entire frame (100%) and the auto-focus algorithm has been improved so that it's 3x faster and offers better eye/face detection than the X-T4. Other key features include 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) which provides up to 7 shutter steps of compensation for stills, a 5.76M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.80x magnification and 120fps refresh rate, a tilting 3-inch touchscreen LCD with 1.62-million-dot resolution, and dual UHS-II SD and CFexpress Type B memory card slots. The XH2S can shoot at 40fps with continuous phase-detect auto-focus and auto-exposure when using the electronic shutter, without any crop at all and completely blackout-free, and 15fps continuous shooting when using the mechanical shutter. The stacked sensor design is similar to those we've seen in other recent flagship cameras, like the Sony Alpha A1, Canon EOS R3, Nikon Z9 and OM Digital O-M1, and it provides a big boost to this camera's burst shooting, auto-focusing and video capabilities. The X-H2S has a brand new 26 megapixel, APS-C sized, X-Trans CMOS 5 HS stacked sensor, the latest X-Processor 5 image processing engine, 6K/30p and DCI 4K video recording at up to 120p in 4:2:0 8-bit internally and 4:2.2 10-bit externally via HDMI with longer recording times of up to 240min, and an extended ISO range of 80-51200. It replaces the three-year-old X-H1 model. The Fujifilm X-H2S is a flagship APS-C sensor mirrorless camera which was released in July 2022.
