The latest release in the lineup of X-Series mirrorless cameras is the Fujifilm X-H2. With the release of the X-H2, the X-H series now boasts two flagship models, along with the previously released model, the X-H2S being renowned for its high speed and ability to capture fast moving subjects.
The high-resolution X-H2 features a 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor along with the high-speed X-Processor 5. Besides delivering high-res stills, it’s also the world’s first APS-C camera to offer internal 8K/30P Apple ProRes recording. The X-H2 has a heat-dissipating design, the same as X-H2S, to enable recording 8K/30P movies for approximately 160 minutes, making 8K a practical option.
Other advanced features boasted by the X-H2 include a minimum standard ISO 125, maximum shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec with electronic shutter – 2.5 stops faster than before, and Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which stitches 20 images together, allowing you to create a 160MB final image, with the use of external software. As well as this, the X-H2 supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality in files up to 30% smaller than standard JPEG files.
Autofocus and subject tracking have also been advanced and rely on Deep Learning technology that automatically detects and tracks a broader range of subjects, including animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, and trains – as well as human faces and eyes. While in-body five-axis image stabilization allows up to seven stops of latitude allowing you greater ability to shoot in low-light conditions without the need for a tripod.
The X-H2’s high-definition EVF has as resolution of 5.76-million-dots with 0.8x magnification, and a refresh frame rate of approx. 120fps.
Built to withstand the rigors of location shooting, like the X-H2S, this latest model also features 79 weather-sealed points offering high levels of dust and moisture resistance, along with operation in temperatures as low as -10º Celsius.
The X-H2 has one CFexpress™ Type B memory card slot and one UHS-II SD memory card slot.
Both the X-H2S and the X-H2 can be combined with the file transmitter FT-XH to enable wired and wireless LAN tethered video recording, with up to four cameras connected simultaneously where you can check and adjust camera settings for each camera, start and stop video recording for all cameras, and save, load, and copy camera settings, all from a computer browser.
The Fujifilm X-H2 will be available at the end of September, with an RRP of $3,399 or $4,249 when sold as a kit with a XF16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR lens. Head to Fujifilm to learn more.
