Over on the lens front, Fujifilm has two new zooms: big and small. The optional fan mounts to the rear of the camera with the screen folded out. Having an optional fan may be a logical compromise to releasing a separate model dedicated to video, like Panasonic’s S1H. We haven’t seen a first-party add-on cooling solution from a camera maker before, but cameras with built-in fans are a staple of the video world. By purchasing an add-on cooling fan for $199, that high-temperature time more than doubles to 50 minutes of recording. For hardcore videographers looking to film in RAW, they’ll have to record externally via the camera’s HDMI 2.1 connection - outputting to ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW.įujifilm says that the new F-Log2 video profile allows for up to 14 stops of dynamic range, and when it comes to recording time, the X-H2S is rated to run for up to 240 minutes in 4K60P at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius / 77 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 minutes at 40 degrees Celsius / 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It can record these resolutions and frame rates in Apple ProRes format internally to its new CFexpress Type B primary card slot (the secondary card slot is the more typical SDXC UHS-II).

As for its video recording specs, they are bumped up to 6K at 30fps, 4K up to 120fps, and 1080p up to 240fps.

Also, the X-H2S gains a much-needed headphone jack to go with its 3.5mm mic port as well as an upgrade from Micro USB to USB-C - with the ability to natively use it as a webcam without any additional software.

Since the X-H2S is designed for hybrid photo and video use, it has a fully articulating three-inch 1.62 million-dot LCD and 5.76 million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification, where the X-H1 had a more limited dual-hinge LCD design that could not face forward and a 3.69 million-dot EVF with 0.75x magnification. In Zone AF mode, the camera favors closer subjects that are centered in the frame - ideally picking out the main person from a group. The X-H2S can perform three times more autofocus calculations than Fujifilm’s own X-T4, and Fujifilm says its new Deep Learning AI allows for subject detection and the tracking of human faces and eyes, animals, birds, automobiles, bikes, airplanes, and trains. That newfound headroom may prove vital, as processor-heavy autofocus systems with real-time subject tracking have made big leaps in recent years, and Fujifilm is trying to play catchup with the likes of Sony and the latest offerings from Canon and Nikon. For comparison, the older fourth-gen processor ran a peak of 608MHz for all tasks. The other key component to the X-H2S’s newfound speed is its fifth-generation X Processor that clocks in at 1GHz, with a 600MHz sub-processor dedicated entirely to handling the new five-axis in-body image stabilization system - which Fujifilm claims is capable of up to seven stops of stabilization. The top layout of the X-H2S has more buttons than the X-H1 and now just one dial for mode selection. Unlike the Nikon Z9, the X-H2S has a mechanical shutter, though it tops out at a much lower 15fps burst rate.

The new 26-megapixel backside-illuminated APS-C sensor has a stacked design, allowing faster readout speeds that permit blackout-free shooting up to 40fps with its electronic shutter - while maintaining continuous autofocus tracking. While the X-H2S maintains a modest resolution that’s only two megapixels more than its predecessor, its biggest improvements are in its speed, autofocus tracking capabilities, and hybrid video shooting.

These new cameras are more pro DSLR-like than anything else in Fujifilm’s X-series of cameras, eschewing classic shutter speed and ISO dials in favor of a more modern PSAM dial. Fujifilm also teased another camera, the X-H2, with a new 40-megapixel non-stacked sensor that’s also coming in September. Joining this camera at release is a new XF 150-600mm super-telephoto zoom lens costing $1,999, with an XF 18-120mm powered zoom due out later in mid-September for $899. It is the successor to 2018’s X-H1 and will launch on July 7th for $2,499 (without a lens). The headliner is the 26-megapixel X-H2S camera, which Fujifilm calls its new high-speed flagship model. Fujifilm’s latest X-Summit event is happening today in Omiya, Japan, and it brings several new announcements for its X-series of APS-C mirrorless cameras, including two cameras and two lenses.
