![]() ![]() There is a three inch fully articulating 1.62m dot resolution LCD screen there as well, and while the resolution of the X-T5’s tilting screen is slightly higher (1.84m dot), I personally strongly prefer the flexibility of the fully articulated screen. All of this adds up to a camera that ticks a lot of the boxes for me. There are a lot of core improvements to the X-H2, including the unprecedented resolution level for APS-C, the inclusion of video recording up to 8K, improved IBIS, and some improvements to ergonomic elements like a higher resolution OLED viewfinder.

There are a lot of great things about Fuji’s approach to APS-C, so let’s take a closer look if the flagship Fuji X-H2 meets your needs for photography and/or video. But while I might prefer the focus system of, say, the Canon R7 ( my review here), the complete lack of appealing lenses there means that Fuji is still offering the more appealing system in general. I’ve not seen any real progress on their touchscreen capabilities in four years. There are still some areas where Fuji lags a bit, and my primary complaints are focused on some rolling shutter issues, an autofocus system that, while vastly improved, still lags in some areas behind the other brands along with my continued frustration with navigating Fuji’s Q-menu. ![]() I primarily used three excellent lenses in this review – the high end XF 200mm F2 (and 1.4x TC) to test tracking action ( my review of the lens here), the amazing third party Viltrox Pro AF 75mm F1.2 portrait lens ( my review here), and the new(ish) Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 – a wonderfully compact large aperture lens with a roughly “normal” angle of view (my review here). And, as noted, the opening up of the platform to third party development has lead to some excellent third party options at more affordable price points which helps close the gap with a company like Sony that has long been more third party friendly. That has led to more lens development (including a revamping of same aging designs with new MK II version) along with a fully fleshed out accessory market. These other brands are more focused in the full frame market, but Fuji has focused on APS-C and never entered the full frame space. There is a certain amount of market parity these days, and there are some things that Sony, Canon, and Nikon do better, though Fuji has had a long investment in the APS-C mirrorless space, and it shows in the maturity of the system. The new sensor is definitely the headline new feature here, though there are a number of other improvements that we’ll explore as a part of our review…including robust focus and deep buffers. In this case the X-H2 was the first Fuji model to sport an ultra-high resolution 40.2MP sensor that delivers wonderfully detailed 7728 x 5152 pixel images. I think of it as the APS-C equivalent of a camera like the Canon EOS R5 – a high resolution camera that also manages to be a good action camera…and video camera. After spending some quality time with the X-H2, I can safely say that this is the next Fuji camera I will personally buy. ![]() I was eager to spend time with the X-H2, but it took a few months before I could fit it into my schedule, but I’m glad I did. I hadn’t reviewed the X-H2 yet, but on paper, I noticed that many of my critiques of the X-T5 were answered in the X-H2…for only a few hundred dollars more. When I was reviewing the Fujfilm X-T5 a few months ago I was impressed by the overall progress Fuji has made with this most recent in the X-T series, but I couldn’t help drawing parallels to another recent Fuji camera – Fujifilm X-H2. ![]()
