Fujifilm's new flagship mirrorless camera, the X-H2S, uses a new image sensor and processor for improved performance over previous models.
Can this replace Full Frame?
Mirrorless digital cameras are nothing new for Fujifilm—Lifewire’s Charlie Sorrel particularly liked the X-Pro 3—but the new X-H2S aims to be even better. This particular mirrorless digital camera is intended to match the rest of the X-series lineup, but it’s also designed to surpass its predecessors.
According to Fujifilm, this is thanks to the new 26.16MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HS image sensor and a new X-Processor 5. The image sensor can reportedly deliver up to four times the signal readout speed of previous X-series models, while the processor is said to be double the previous processing speeds. The improved performance also allows the X-H2S to calculate information three times faster than before for improved tracking in burst mode. It also offers better image resolution, along with reduced noise, for improved overall image quality.
Built-in subject detection allows the X-H2S to track animals and vehicles more easily via AI, and it’s capable of recording high-resolution video at high speed for clearer slow-motion shots. It also uses a new built-in stabilization mechanism to compensate for minor vibrations and shakes when shooting handheld. And of course, it retains the X series’ ability to show you exactly how your photos will look before you take them.
