![]() It also has the ability to be fully controlled via software (due to the customizable buttons and PSAM dial), full-size HDMI, both microphone and headphone inputs, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C for tethering, data transfer and in-camera charging. Since the X-H2S was announced as the new X Series flagship camera, it has other unique hardware advantages, such as an optional vertical control battery grip and accessory fan. Give it a try if you haven’t already because you will immediately notice the difference. In fact, the only other Fujifilm camera using this EVF is the $10,000 GFX100. Just like the stacked sensor, not many cameras currently use this Sony-manufactured 5.76 million dot OLED EVF. I first experienced this EVF on the Leica SL2 and it was a joy to use. If you compare the top-end 512GB SDXC cards with CFE-B cards, the price is similar but the read and write speeds are off the charts with the CF cards.Īnother unique hardware feature of the X-H2S (and the X-H2) is the high-resolution 5.76 million dot EVF. I tested the X-H2S with a Pergear 1TB CFE-B card with 1600MB/s read and 1300MB/s write speeds. I know many photographers feel they don’t need these high-speed/high-capacity cards (up to 4TB and 1600 MB/s write speeds), but it future proofs the camera for future high-demand photo and video innovations. Because the sensor is capable of processing so much information quickly, Fujifilm decided to install the X-H2S with a CF Express Type B slot. ![]() On the video side, the X-H2S is capable of 6.2K open-gate (or full 3:2 sensor read-out), up to 4K 120fps or 4K 60fps with no crop and class-leading rolling shutter control. With this new fifth-generation 26MP X-Trans CMOS BSI stacked sensor, the X-H2S is capable of 40fps electronic-shutter continuous black-out free burst shooting, with improved autofocus to boot. The stacked layer CMOS sensor is superior in speed and mobility.” By taking advantage of the fast read speed, it is possible to process the focusing signal while processing the image for display. ![]() “By placing the chips that process and read out signals on the back of the sensor surface, the reading speed is more than 4 times faster than the previous model and more than 30 times faster than the first-generation model. What’s so special about a stacked sensor? This quote is directly from Fujifilm’s website: Currently, there are fewer than 10 interchangeable lens cameras with stacked sensors most are them are flagship cameras and most have full-frame sensors. What makes the X-H2S such a significant camera for Fujifilm? Since the hardware between the X-H2 and X-H2S is exactly the same except for the sensor, why would I choose the X-H2S over the 40MP X-H2? Most importantly, the X-H2S has a stacked sensor, the first for Fujifilm, and the first for the APS-C format. However, when it comes down to the three camera bodies released last year, I can say with confidence that the X-H2S is my pick for ‘Camera of the Year’ for the Fujifilm X Series. I can definitely choose which camera or lens I would consider as the most significant release, but each photographer’s ‘best’ gear is based on their own unique needs and/or demands. ![]() Since I’ve had the opportunity to review all the new cameras and lenses launched in 2022, some might wonder which piece of gear I would pick as ‘the best’ of 2022. Ten years ago the system started off with the original X-Pro1 and XF35mmF1.4 R, and 2022 ended with the release of the X-T5 and the XF30mmF2.8 R LM WR Macro lens. Now that we’ve fast-forwarded ourselves into the new year, it’s time to look back at 2022, the ten-year anniversary of the Fujifilm X Mount.
