Introduction
The Fujifilm X-H2S is a flagship APS-C sensor mirrorless digicam which was launched in July 2022. It replaces the three-year-old X-H1 mannequin.
The X-H2S has a model new 26 megapixel, APS-C sized, X-Trans CMOS 5 HS stacked sensor, the newest X-Processor 5 picture processing engine, 6K/30p and DCI 4K video recording at as much as 120p in 4:2:0 8-bit internally and 4:2.2 10-bit externally through HDMI with longer recording occasions of as much as 240min, and an prolonged ISO vary of 80-51200.
The stacked sensor design is just like these we have seen in different latest flagship cameras, just like the Sony Alpha A1, Canon EOS R3, Nikon Z9 and OM Digital O-M1, and it gives a giant enhance to this digicam’s burst capturing, auto-focusing and video capabilities.
The XH2S can shoot at 40fps with steady phase-detect auto-focus and auto-exposure when utilizing the digital shutter, with none crop in any respect and utterly blackout-free, and 15fps steady capturing when utilizing the mechanical shutter.
Different key options embrace 5-axis in-body picture stabilisation (IBIS) which gives as much as 7 shutter steps of compensation for stills, a 5.76M-dot OLED digital viewfinder with 0.80x magnification and 120fps refresh fee, a tilting 3-inch touchscreen LCD with 1.62-million-dot decision, and twin UHS-II SD and CFexpress Sort B reminiscence card slots.
There are 425 AF factors with section detection pixels throughout all the body (100%) and the auto-focus algorithm has been improved in order that it is 3x quicker and gives higher eye/face detection than the X-T4.
The X-H2S can now robotically detect animals, birds, vehicles, bikes, planes and trains due to the X-Processor 5’s AI deep studying capabilities, a function that no Fujifilm digicam has had earlier than.
The X-H2S moreover gives publicity compensation as much as ±5 stops, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 720-shot battery life and USB-C charging, interval timer capturing, in-camera uncooked conversion, a number of publicity and panoramic capturing modes, and an ultra-fast digital shutter that’s able to exposures as much as 1/32000sec.
The Fujifilm X-H2S is obtainable in Black priced at £2499 / $2499 for the digicam physique solely within the UK and US respectively. The XH2S is is manufactured in Japan.
Ease of Use
 |
Earlier than we go any additional, it is clear that after just a few weeks of utilizing the X-H2S, it is undoubtedly probably the most succesful APS-C sensor digicam that Fujifilm have ever launched, each for photographers and videographers, and is absolutely deserving of its flagship standing.
Chances are you’ll not just like the much less conventional, much less Fuji-like consumer interface or the reasonably eye-watering price-tag, however in order for you the quickest, most innovative cropped-sensor digicam in the marketplace, that is the one to spring for.
With the 40 megapixel X-H2 mannequin due for launch earlier than the tip of 2022, the 26 megapixels supplied by the XH2S could appear considerably pedestrian, however this digicam is concentrated on out-and-out pace reasonably than decision (though we would argue that 26 megapixels is greater than sufficient for many makes use of).
The brand new stacked sensor, newest processor and up to date computational AF system allow the X-H2S to attain issues that no Fuji digicam has managed earlier than, whether or not that is seamlessly monitoring motion and wildlife and capturing at 40 frames per second, or recording in 4K/120p high quality (with 6K/30p additionally accessible).
From the entrance the brand new Fujifilm X-H2S is outwardly fairly just like the 4-year-old X-H1 mannequin that it succeeds, however a more in-depth look reveals that Fuji have taken a reasonably completely different design strategy with this new mannequin.
Measuring 135.5 x 92.9 x 86.9mm and weighing 660g, the brand new X-H2S is barely smaller however barely heavier than the X-H1 (which measures 140 x 97 x 86 mm and 623g) , though not by that a lot. Should you’re a long-time consumer of the XH1 than you will not discover an excessive amount of distinction between them in measurement and weight.
 |
What is going to grow to be rapidly obvious, although, is the radically completely different management format of this newest digicam. Lengthy identified for his or her retro styling and plethora of conventional controls, Fuji have determined to drastically pare again the XH2S interface, a lot in order that it bears little resemblance to its forebear.
Most notably, the traditional Fujifilm ISO and Shutter Pace dials that had been situated on high of the XH1 have made method for a lockable, DSLR-like PASM dial on this new mannequin, positioned to the left of the viewfinder.
Along with the PASM and video modes, there’s additionally reasonably curiously a Filter choice and in addition an enormous variety of Customized capturing modes – 7 in reality – which is probably the most that we have ever seen on any digicam.
The considering is you could setup and register this hybrid digicam in many alternative methods for each stills and video, then rapidly recall them utilizing the capturing mode dial.
It nonetheless stays to be seen how followers react to what’s fairly a radical departure from the standard Fujifilm blueprint, but it surely definitely makes a whole lot of sense for a digicam that may doubtlessly be used to seize all kinds of topics in all kinds of how.
The X-H2S has a big, sculpted hand-grip on the entrance. You’ll be able to undoubtedly match three fingers on it, possibly even 4 relying in your hand measurement, along with your little finger naturally curling beneath the underside of the physique. There’s additionally a distinguished grip on the rear of the digicam on your proper thumb.
 |
A textured faux-leather floor runs across the full width of the digicam, with two metallic eyelets on both aspect of the physique used for connecting the equipped shoulder strap.
Different key adjustments to the X-H-series consumer interface embrace the addition of much more Operate buttons, once more meant so as to add as a lot flexibility to the setup of the digicam as attainable, together with the alternative of the MCS dial on the entrance of the X-H1 with an unmarked Operate button on the X-H2S.
The rear of the digicam has additionally been considerably tweaked, with the thumb operated joystick sitting a lot larger than earlier than and the AF On and AE Lock buttons extra conveniently positioned round it.
Over on the precise of the highest panel, the XH2S retains the very helpful top-panel LCD, but it surely’s now been transfer straight alongside the viewfinder hump and been joined by a column of ISO, white steadiness and performance buttons, together with a brand new one-touch video-record button that sits alongside the shutter launch button, which is encircled by the Off/On change.
Publicity compensation and shutter pace are actually set utilizing the entrance and rear command dials reasonably than through exterior controls on the X-H1, with the aperture management dependent upon whether or not the hooked up lens has an aperture ring or not (nearly all of Fuji’s lenses do) and whether or not it is set to Auto or not.
General, the X-H2S reminds us of the X-S10, which additionally eschewed Fuji’s commonplace ISO dial, Shutter Pace dial and Publicity Compensation dials. These adjustments had been made to that specific digicam within the pursuit of simplicity and affordability, although, whereas with the X-H2S they have been made to allow the digicam to be extra versatile and faster to make use of.
 |
The X-H2S gives the identical sensitivity vary of ISO 160 to ISO 12,800 because the X-H1, which could be expanded to ISO 80 to ISO 51,200. This makes the X-H2S effectively suited to low-light capturing, permitting you to hand-hold the digicam in locations the place you’d often be reaching for a tripod or different assist.
Fuji’s intelligent ISO Auto Management setting lets you set a most sensitivity (as much as 6400) and a minimal shutter pace (1/thirtieth is an effective place to begin), with the digicam over-riding your ISO alternative if it thinks you are being too formidable while sustaining a shutter pace that will not introduce digicam shake.
The picture sensor used within the X-H2S is the following technology, 26 megapixel, APS-C sized, X-Trans CMOS 5 HS stacked sensor, making its debut within the Fuji X-series digicam vary.
The continual capturing pace is one the of the primary beneficiaries of utilizing a stacked sensor. The X-H1 was a comparatively quick digicam when it was launched in 2018, able to capturing at 14fps utilizing the digital shutter or 8fps with the mechanical shutter., however the brand new X-H2s with the X-Processor 5 and stacked sensor on-board ups the ante significantly.
As compared, the XH2S can shoot at 40fps when utilizing the digital shutter, with none crop in any respect, utterly blackout-free, with steady phase-detect auto-focus and auto-exposure, reasonably than being locked on the first body. It additionally gives a lot quicker 15fps steady capturing pace when utilizing the mechanical shutter.
This makes the X-H2S the quickest digicam that Fujifilm have ever made when it comes to burst capturing, and at present one of many quickest fashions in the marketplace (solely barely slower than the smaller-sensor OM Digital OM-1’s 50fps fee).
 |
Relying in your topic, having the ability to choose from 40 incrementally completely different photographs may imply the distinction between a near-miss and a “excellent” picture.
We examined the XH2S with fast-paced motor-cars and extra erratic bmx and motor-cross riders performing stunts, and positively appreciated the 40fps mode, though you may want giant capability, high-speed CFexpress Sort B reminiscence playing cards to take full benefit of the sheer pace on supply.
To assist with capturing the exact second, the X-H2S additionally a intelligent Pre-shot burst capturing mode, with the digicam consistently filling the buffer whereas your half-press the shutter button, after which protecting the latest ones taken 0.5-1 seconds earlier than a full press of the shutter button, eliminating any digicam and human-added delay. Word that this function solely works with the digital shutter.
The X-H2S truly has two sorts of shutter, mechanical and digital. When utilizing its mechanical focal-plane shutter, it has a high shutter-speed restrict of 1/8000th second in all capturing modes.
There isn’t any built-in ND filter, so if you wish to use a really quick lens in very shiny daylight, then it is a good suggestion to purchase an precise glass ND filter. The X-H2S has a flash-sync pace of 1/250th second with the mechanical shutter and 1/a hundred and twenty fifth second with the digital shutter.
The X-H2S additionally has a totally silent digital shutter which gives a a lot quicker high shutter pace of 1/32,000th second. This lets you proceed capturing wide-open with quick aperture lenses within the brightest of circumstances with out having to resort to becoming a glass ND filter or utilizing an exterior flash and lights.
 |
To make the digicam even much less obtrusive, when the digital shutter is chosen, there is a Silent menu choice which turns off the speaker, flash, AF-assist lamp and most significantly the shutter-release sound, immediately making the X-H2S completely suited to extra candid images.
It is all very effectively having the ability to document at 40fps, however until the digicam can rapidly, precisely and reliably give attention to no matter fast-moving topic you are attempting to seize, it is all for nothing.
Fortunately, though the brand new X-H2S has the identical hybrid autofocus system with as much as 425 selectable section detection and and distinction detections factors because the X-H1, X-T4 and X-Pro3 fashions, Fujifilm have made plenty of actually important enhancements to make it their greatest AF system but.
Chief amongst these is the debut of subject-based computational AI, with the XH2S having the ability to robotically detect animals, birds, cars, bikes and bikes, airplanes and prepare.
You do need to particularly select which of these you need to monitor from the Topic Detection Setting menu, however as beforehand talked about, you’ll be able to simply register completely different settings to the customized modes on the capturing mode dial to keep away from having to consistently dive into the menu.
Turning this function on resulted in a super-high hit fee when it comes to auto-focusing, with the digicam usually in a position to give attention to the topic earlier than we would even noticed it ourselves! Fast-paced BMX riders, for instance, who in a short time entered and exited the body had been captured with aplomb by the X-H2S, with the overwhelming majority of photographs in focus.
 |
So whereas the 40fps burst capturing fee might seize all of the headlines, the improved auto-focus algorithm that is stated to be 3x quicker than the X-T4 and significantly the topic detection modes are simply as, if no more, vital, serving to to make sure that most of these 1000’s of photographs are sharp.
Additionally serving to to maintain issues sharp is the XH2S’ 5-axis in-body picture stabilisation (IBIS) system. The unique X-H1 was the primary ever Fuji mirrorless digicam to function In-Physique Picture Stabilization (IBIS), and the X-H2S joins it and the X-T4 and X-S10 because the fourth Fuji digicam to supply it.
And as with most of its different key options, this new mannequin ups the ante significantly. Whereas the X-H1 solely supplied as much as 5.5 shutter steps of compensation for stills, the X-H2S gives as much as a most of seven stops, 1.5 stops higher and the perfect of any present Fujifilm digicam.
Equally, the OLED digital viewfinder on the X-H2S has better 5.76M-dot decision, bigger 0.80x magnification and a quicker 120fps refresh fee than the X-H1, which had a 3.68M-dot EVF with 0.75x magnification and 100fps refresh fee.
Maybe extra importantly for a hybrid stills and video digicam, Fuji have made an vital change to this mannequin’s LCD display. The older X-H1 had a intelligent three-direction tilting LCD display, but it surely did not tilt out to the aspect just like the one on the brand new XH2s, which has a completely articulating, vari-angle, 3-inch LCD display with 1.62M-dot decision.
You’ll be able to flip out the display to the aspect, rotate it forwards for simpler operation when pointing the digicam at your self, and fold it flat in opposition to the again of the digicam to cease it from getting scratched, which proves to be a extra versatile display for vlogging, film capturing and images normally.
 |
The X-H2S gives the perfect video recording capabilities and efficiency of any Fuji digicam, higher than the unique X-H1 or any of the opposite present fashions, and is unquestionably the one to purchase when you’re predominantly a videographer.
It gives a highest high quality fee of 6K/30p with no crop, recorded in 4:2:0 8-bit internally and 4:2:2 10-bit through the micro-HDMI port to an exterior recorder.
Dropping all the way down to 4K, it options DCI 4K/120p with a 1.29x crop recorded in 4:2:0 8-bit internally and 4:2:2 10-bit externally. The XH2s does not apply any crop to its 4K/60p footage, whereas the X-H1 solely supported 4K/30p and did so with a 1.17x crop issue.
The XH2S helps the Apple ProRes RAW and BlackMagic RAW codecs for the primary ever time on a Fuji X-series digicam and in addition gives the brand new F-Log 2 profile with as much as 14+ stops of dynamic vary.
Longer recording occasions of as much as 240min at an ambient temperature and 17min at 40 levels Celsius are supported, with a fan accent accessible which screws into the again of the digicam, enhancing the utmost time to 51 minutes at 40 Celsius. In contrast, the XH1 was restricted to half-hour most recording time.
The X-H2S options each built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The latter choice creates a relentless, low-power connection between the X-H2S and a smartphone/pill to switch photographs and video utilizing the Fujifilm Digicam Distant smartphone app, whereas the previous lets you remotely management the X-H2S through a 2.4Ghz wi-fi connection utilizing a smartphone or pill and the Fujifilm app, and switch photographs and video from one gadget to the opposite.
One other key change to the design of the X-H2S is reminiscence playing cards, particularly the sort that it makes use of reasonably than the quantity.
 |
Each the unique X-H1 and this new mannequin have twin reminiscence card slots, however whereas the older mannequin had two UHS-II SD format slots, the X-H2S has one UHS-II SD slot and one CFexpress Sort B slot.
So if you wish to reap the benefits of all of the pace benefits that the XH2S gives (and why would not you?!), you may have to put money into some CFexpress Sort B reminiscence playing cards and possibly a brand new card reader too, because the digicam merely cannot shoot and document at its quickest charges when you solely use SD playing cards.
Fujifilm have additionally paid shut consideration to the X-H2S’s battery life – in spite of everything it is no good having the ability to shoot at 40fps if the battery rapidly runs out, so that they’ve switched from utilizing the smaller capability NP-W126S battery that the X-H1 used to precisely the identical NP-W235 batteries because the X-T4.
This gives a CIPA-rated battery lifetime of as much as 720 photographs on a single cost in regular mode on the X-H2s, with real-life utilization yielding even longer life. The X-H1 was rated at solely 310 photographs.
The XH2S will also be powered and charged through a USB-C connection, which is helpful when you’re out and about and have a suitable power-bank to plug the digicam into.
Should you actually need to prolong the battery life, there is a Vertical Battery Grip (VBG-XH) accessible for the X-H2S which accepts two NP-W235 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to increase the life for as much as 1700 frames between recharges.
A metallic tripod mount is positioned inline with the centre of the lens and much away from the battery/reminiscence card compartment, so you do not have to take away the digicam from the tripod to vary the battery or the reminiscence card.

Information
Fujifilm have simply unleashed the X-H2S, their model new flagship mirrorless digicam for 2022. Billed as a really skilled APS-C hybrid digicam, the XH2S is all about hi-speed images.
With the very newest X-trans CMOS 5 HS stacked sensor and X-Processor 5, this digicam can shoot black-out free 26.1 megapixel photographs at 40fps with steady phase-detect AF and AE metering when utilizing its digital shutter and 15fps utilizing the mechanical shutter.
The mixture of recent sensor and processor additionally gives 6K/30p and as much as 4K/120p video recording, 120fps reside view and 1/151th sec rolling shutter, which is analogous to many devoted cinema cameras.
Auto-focusing
The X-Processor 5 introduces AI deep studying to the Fuji X-series for the primary time, with the X-H2s in a position to robotically detect animals, birds, vehicles, bikes, planes and trains, bringing it again updated for 2022.
Fujifilm declare that the sensor is 3.5x faster and the processor 1.5x faster than the favored X-T4, whereas the AF system with its improved algorithm, higher eye/face detection and the addition of AI studying is 3x quicker.
CFexpress Reminiscence Playing cards
To allow all of that pace, Fuji have carried out twin CFexpress Sort B / UHS-II slots, one other first for the system, whereas the HEIF file format additionally makes its debut along with the standard JPEG and RAW.
Physique and Design
Measuring 135.5 x 92.9 x 86.9mm and weighing 660g, the brand new XH2S is definitely smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the X-H1.
Fuji have determined to take away some dials and controls and change them with extra Operate buttons, whereas the ISO and Shutter Pace dials on the XH1 have made method for a PASM dial on this new mannequin.
The LCD display and EVF have each been considerably upgraded, with the previous being a 1.62m 3-inch vari-angle LCD and the latter a 5.76M EVF with 0.8x magnification and 120fps refresh fee.
6K/30p / 4K/120p Video

First Impressions
The Fujifilm X-H2S is probably the most highly effective APS-C digicam ever launched, but it surely’s additionally the costliest too. We obtained hands-on with the XH2s just lately, so discover out what we consider this new speed-demon by studying our first impressions…
The X-H2S is Fujifilm’s most formidable APS-C sensor digicam to this point, each when it comes to what it gives and the way a lot it prices.
It additionally marks a radical departure from the “conventional” dealing with that followers have come to know and love, one thing that’s certain to trigger ripples if not waves on Fuji boards in all places.
So to recap – for £$2500, you get 26 megapixels, 40fps burst capturing, 6.2K video, AI-driven auto-focusing and 7-stops of IBIS, all housed in an analogous physique to the unique X-H1, albeit one with no shutter pace, ISO or publicity compensation dials.
The XHS2 nonetheless has a useful top-panel LCD display on the right-hand-side which lets you see the important thing digicam settings at a look, but it surely now has a PASM capturing mode dial over on the left.
This options no fewer than 7 Customized modes, by far probably the most we have seen on any digicam, alongside the standard PASM modes, a Filter setting and the devoted Film mode.
So you’ll be able to primarily configure the X-H2S with as much as seven completely different mixtures of key settings and rapidly entry them with a easy flip of the Taking pictures Mode Dial.
Including to this customisability are the plethora of unmarked Operate buttons that adorn the digicam, which all have default settings however which may all be modified to fit your method of working.
Controversially, one in every of these Fn buttons has changed the much-loved MSC focus change on the entrance panel – as an alternative you now need to press the Operate button that is instead and use the command dial to vary this setting.
There may be now room on the highest panel for devoted film recording, ISO, White Stability and one more customized Operate buttons, alongside the top-panel LCD, whereas the joystick on the again is inherited from the GFX100S and is bigger and simpler to make use of than earlier than.
Whereas the LCD display is similar as on the X-T4, the digital viewfinder is a formidable 5.76 million dot panel with a 0.8x magnification and 60 or 120fps refresh fee, significantly better than on each the X-H1 and the X-T4.
That is probably the most succesful Fujifilm digicam to this point for video, with 6K/30p and particularly as much as 4K/120p with 240min recording restrict positive to please videographers. Whereas the 26 megapixel sensor does not enable for 8K (possibly one thing that the upcoming 40 megapixel XH2 will supply?), the XH2s nonetheless represents a giant step ahead on this side for the X-series.
We tried out the XH2S’ model new AF system at the side of the 18-120mm energy zoom lens, which with a most F4 aperture aperture is not the brightest however does supply a helpful focal vary and 183mm equal attain.
The digicam was noticeably faster to lock-on to the primary topic than earlier Fuji cameras that we have examined. We did not get the chance to attempt the brand new AI modes for animals, birds, vehicles and different motor autos, however the improved face and eye detection did appear to be faster and extra dependable.
To take full benefit of the XH2S’ quick 40fps burst capturing pace and for recording inside ProRes, you may have to put money into some CF Specific Sort B reminiscence playing cards, one other model new function for the Fuji digicam vary. Do not buy the X-H2S with out additionally budgeting for them.
Equally, when you’re capturing in sizzling climates, you may want so as to add on the price of the dinky little Fan accent, which screws into the again panel when the LCD display is flipped to the aspect and considerably boosts recording occasions.
Lastly, if you wish to use the XH2S in an expert capability as a journalist or related, you may want the £$999 file transmitter grip, which provides ethernet connectivity, improved Wifi and extra superior wi-fi choices, in addition to two further batteries.
Which brings us to the worth – the stacked sensor, excessive decision viewfinder and CF Specific slot might effectively have made the Fujifilm XH2S the perfect ever APS-C sensor digicam in the marketplace (on paper not less than), but it surely’s additionally by far the costliest.
All of that innovative know-how does not come low cost, as different stacked sensor cameras just like the Olympus O-M1, Sony A9 collection, Sony A1, Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9 all show.
We’re surmising that Fujifilm regarded on the Olympus O-M1 particularly, positioning their APS-C sensor providing simply above the Micro 4 Thirds competitors, and I assume the pricing makes some type of sense from that perspective.
What’s true about all of those cameras is that you just actually must be positive if you actually need the headline-grabbing speeds that they provide – in spite of everything, it is no simple process to combine 1000’s of excessive burst fee photographs into your each day workflow.
Should you do want 40fps capturing, although, Fujfilm now have your again with the launch of the XH2S, which coupled with the equally new 150-600mm optic would make a incredible chook and motorsports mixture.
And if decision and stills images are extra your factor, the 40 megapixel X-H2 that might be introduced in September 2022 is unquestionably one thing to sit up for…
