Yesterday, Fujifilm had their most recent X-Summit over in Japan and had some new things to unveil. One of the more notable thing was their new high-speed, flagship APS-C mirrorless camera: the X-H2S. This is the sequel to their 2018 X-H1 as they also teased the X-H2 40MP shooter coming in September as well but back to the subject at hand.
Now the X-H2S offers a 26MP backside illuminated stacked sensor, powered by their 5th-generation 1GHz X Processor + a 600MHz sub-processor dedicated to the 5-axis in-body image stabilization w/ 7 stops of stabilization, an articulating 3inch LCD display, 5.76 million-dot EVF, a 3.5mm mic + headphone jack, a full-sized HDMI, dual card slot supporting CFexpress Type B cards, and a new PASM dial instead of the usual ISO one.
Fujifilm made sure to equip the X-H2S to be stellar in photo & video usage. As far as photos, you can shoot up to 15fps burst mode via mechanical shutter & up to 40fps via electronic shutter. Then you have a new AI-powered autofocus system w/ real-time subject-tracking for eyes, animals, and more.
Video recording gets an upgrade to 10-bit 4:2:2 6K@30fps as well as capable of shooting 4K up to 120fps, & 1080p up to 240fps. You get up to 14 stops of dynamic range when shooting in their new F-Log2 profile. It is capable of shooting RAW video via its HDMI connection as well. But there will be some sort of recording limits present. Fujifilm gave examples of 4K@60fps in 77 degree Fahrenheit for up to 240 minutes or in 104 degrees for up to only 20 minutes. Their answer to it is a FAN-001 accessory that goes underneath where the display is for $199.
The new Fujifilm X-H2S is due out on July 7th for $2,499 body only. Outside of the overheating solution, this Fujifilm shooter has the potential to be the new king of APS-C shooters.
