Today is the day: the brand new FUJIFILM X-H2 mirrorless camera has just been unveiled. FUJIFILM is proud to introduce a new 40.2MP sensor, the X-Trans CMOS 5 HR, which, along with an X-Processor 5, fuels the internals of this new camera. Filmmakers can internally record up to 8K30p in Apple ProRes 422 HQ (4:2:2 10-bit). Don’t be confused by the naming scheme here: after the release of the X-H2S, this FUJIFILM X-H2 is the latest model in the FUJIFILM lineup. And while The X-H2S (Lab Test here) was all about speed with an underlying 26.1 MP sensor, the new FUJIFILM X-H2 sports a 40.2MP APS-C sensor. Further confusion might arise when comparing the sensors of the two cameras, as the names are quite similar: the 26.1 MP X-Trans CMOS 5HS APS-C sensor of the X-H2S features a stacked BSI (backside illuminated sensor) design. In contrast, the new X-Trans CMOS 5HR sensor of the FUJIFILM X-H2 offers a higher resolution of 40.2 MP, but lacks the stacked design of the HS sensor of the X-H2S. The new FUJIFILM X-H2.

X-H2 delivers exceptional image resolution and quality that are ideal for those creating images in super-high detail. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the new FUJIFILM X-H2...
