Fujifilm X-H2S
Fujifilm earlier announced its new flagship X-H2S, APS-C mirrorless.This new phone, priced at US$2,500, is X-H1 The long-rumored successor, it is equipped with a 26.2MP X-Trans 5HS back-illuminated stack photoreceptor, and features 6.2K 30fps video recording, 40fps continuous shooting, and five-axis in-camera shock resistance with up to 7.0-stop compensation. Except for the LCD panel on the top, the design of the X-H2S is quite different from the previous generation. The grip and button layout have been changed, and the weight of the fuselage (including cards and electricity) has also dropped from the previous 673g to 660g. At the same time, it also switched to a 1.62 million-dot rear screen that can be completely flipped, which will be more conducive to vlog shooting. The EVF part also has beautiful specifications such as 5.76 million dots and 120Hz.
On the premise of enabling autofocus and auto exposure, the electronic shutter of the X-H2S can perform 40fps uninterrupted continuous shooting (compressed 175 RAW frames), and the speed in mechanical shutter mode can reach 15fps (compressed RAW 400 frames).According to the manufacturer, the number of calculations in the phase detection information of the new phone during continuous shooting can reach X-T4 three times. They’ve also improved tracking of moving objects, thanks to a new predictive algorithm that boosts the device’s area AF performance and tracking in low-contrast environments. In addition, the new image processor will use deep learning technology to detect animals, birds, cars, locomotives, bicycles, planes and trains in addition to identifying and tracking faces and human eyes.

In terms of video, the X-H2S can shoot 4:2:2 10-bit videos at 6.2K 30fps, DCI 4K 120fps and 1080p 240fps, with 1.29x cropping at 4K 120fps. It is worth mentioning that this is also Fujifilm’s first APS-C model that supports ProRes. It also introduced the F-Log2 function, extending the dynamic range to up to 14 stops. In addition to the aforementioned specifications, users can also record 6.2K 30fps and 4.8K 60fps ProRes RAW at 4:2:2 12-bit if recording via full-size HDMI 2.1.
Thanks to the new heat dissipation structure, the X-H2S can shoot 4 hours of 4K 60fps video continuously at 25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature reaches 40 degrees, the time will be reduced to 20 minutes, but the manufacturer has prepared an external cooling fan accessory that can extend the shooting time to 50 minutes. The price is US$199. In addition, this camera also has a built-in dual card slot, which supports CFexpress and SD UHS II. It also has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port (10Gbps) and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone port, and can realize live broadcast, video, cloud upload and other functions wirelessly or wired. As for battery life, you can shoot up to 610 shots with the EVF under CIPA standards, or 1,580 shots with the extra vertical grip.
