Now, the main specs of this camera are known. But going through the various video coverage, I’d like to highlight a few things that given the massive amount of information some might have missed.
All you read below can be found in the videos of our live blog coverage.
the Fujifilm CEO talks and says he is proud of Fujifilm’s camera business
Fujifilm understood the potential of digital cameras very early
X-Pro1 in 2012 was the first X series MILC camera
5th generation stacked sensor and X-Processor 5
stacked sensor 4x times than previous generation model
visible improvement in high speed bursts and hisgh speed movie
smoother viewfinder
faster AF
speed and mobility is most appropiate for APS-C format
APS-C is good balance between IQ and size
ultra fast processing processor
30x times faster processing than 1st generation processor
allows for great video codecs and also HEIF
X-Processor 5: speed, power and intelligence
Fujifilm X-H2S

40fps with AF and AE
X-Trans Vreads out 120fps, allowing for constant AF and AE adjustments in burst shooting
new AF algorithm
AI Processing deep AI technology with subject detection (object and animal tracking)
outstanding AF performance
viewfinder provides ideal field of view
best EVF in history of X series: 0.8x magnification, 120fps refresh rate, 5,76 dots, all optical elements with aspherical lenses. Clear images even if pupil position is not in the center (not in the specs sheet, but visible in real life use)
7 stops IBIS: minute noise has been carefully eliminated
no need of gimbal
6K30p and 4/120p. Huge load on processor. But X-Processor 5 makes it possible
CFexpress Type B
14+ stops of dynamic range in F-Log 2
External cooling accessory
sharing files via Ethernet in Grip
remote Rec Function, to use the router as a hub, so you can control X_HH2S via tablet (WiFi or Ethernet). You can control all camera settings and share settings with other cameras
X-H2S has a mode dial, sub-LCD on top panel and vary-angle LCD. Great for hybrid use
shutter release button with built-in leaf spring
“H” stands for Heavy Duty
they tested it in different scenarios. -10 degrees is differnt in a lab over a snowy mountain.
