Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera Body - Black: A Professional's Delight

Fujifilm continues to impress the photography community with their X Series lineup of mirrorless cameras. The latest addition to this series, the Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera Body - Black, is a highly advanced camera that provides exceptional image quality and versatility for professional photographers and filmmakers. The X-H2S is the first Fujifilm X Series camera to feature the newly developed 26.1-megapixel, X-Trans 5 stacked back-illuminated sensor, which delivers outstanding image quality thanks to expanded low light capabilities and up to 14-stops of dynamic range.

The X-H2S is a highly advanced mirrorless camera that provides next-level performance enhancements in video and stills processing capabilities. This camera comes with a new X-Processor 5 that offers lightning-fast performance, capable of handling vast amounts of data. Compared to its predecessor, the X-T4, the autofocus functionality of this camera is 3x faster, thanks to advanced AI-based Subject Detection AF that broadens the range of identifiable subjects. This camera can identify and track cars, planes, trains, motorcyclists, birds, horses, dogs, cats and more.

The autofocusing system in this camera can work in light levels down to -7EV, and it can keep up with both fast and erratically moving subjects. Face and eye detection capabilities have been expanded to pick up hairlines, glasses, and face coverings, giving the user an unmatched autofocus performance. The powerful video features of the X-H2S make it a go-to device for both hybrid image makers and dedicated motion professionals. The camera can internally record up to 90 minutes of footage with a single battery, at a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, up to 6.2K/30P in Open Gate 3:2, 4K/120P, and Full HD/240P.

The ability to record 10-bit 4:2:2 Apple ProRes footage internally to CFexpress Type B memory cards offers remarkable post-production flexibility, while the X-Trans 5 sensor’s 14-stop dynamic range optimizes the level of image detail across a uniquely wide exposure range. In addition to a wide range of internal video recording features, the X-H2S provides flexibility for external recording. F-Log or F-Log2, Apple ProRes RAW, and Blackmagic RAW footage can all be recorded to an external device through the camera’s standard, Type A HDMI port, unlocking the full capability of the X-H2S’s unmatched image quality by recording F-Log or F-Log2 in resolutions of up to 6.2K in Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW.

One of the most impressive aspects of the X-H2S is its mechanical and electronic shutter, which offers continuous shooting at 15 and 40 frames-per-second, respectively. These impressive speeds are backed up by the camera’s high-capacity buffer, allowing unlimited continuous recording and writing of JPEG and RAW files to a high-speed memory card when using the mechanical shutter. Moreover, this camera's in-body image stabilization system offers up to seven stops of shake reduction, allowing handheld users real versatility, thus enhancing the creative possibilities for professional photographers and videographers.
