FUJIFILM just lifted the curtain on its new APS-C flagship camera: The FUJIFILM X-H2S camera sports a 26.16MP X-Trans sensor, enabling internal recording of 4:2:2 10-bit Apple ProRes HQ/LT/Proxy in up to 6.2K/30P and 4:2:2 10-bit h.265 in up to 4K/120p and FHD/240p. This is the highly anticipated successor of the original X-H1 camera from back in the day. As the first model of the new X-H2 series, FUJIFILM decided to launch the X-H2S first. And it records internally in 10-bit 4:2:2 Apple ProRes HQ/422/LT or Proxy flavors. 12-bit ProRes Raw and BRAW (Blackmagic) external recording in 6.2K (6240 x 4160) via the full-size(!) HDMI port is also possible. The X-H2S is the first APS-C digital camera of its kind to feature Fujifilm’s 26.16MP X-Trans CMOS 5 sensor, which is a stacked, back-side illuminated sensor with a signal reading speed up to four times faster than FUJIFILM’s previous X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor (check out our X-T4 review here).

If you’re working under high temperatures, the optional fan is there to maintain those 240 minutes. So you don’t necessarily need the fan, it’s an optional tool, nothing more, nothing less. camera with fan attached. Image credit: FUJIFILM...
