Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera

The X-H2S is Fujifilm's most ambitious X-series camera yet, and one of its most adaptable. Its AF system isn't always a match for its most extreme burst speeds but with a little tuning it can deliver impressive hit-rates.

The Fujifilm X-H2S is amazing for studio video. It can record video at up to 6.2k with internal 10-bit 4:2:2 color from the full width of the sensor. 6.2k and 4k up to 30 fps are also recorded from a 14-bit readout when using the F-Log 2 profile, allowing the camera to capture a wider dynamic range...

Fifth-gen X-Series system camera gets an ergonomic overhaul and rapid continuous shooting abilities

Have had the camera since August and the jury is still out. I've been using SLRs, then DSLRs and now mirrorless for 40 years and I do mostly bird/wildlife photography, hence the excitement over the H-2S. However I have never had such a high percentage of shots slightly out of focus.

I've been a Fuji user for quite some time. Started with the XT2 (which I loved), jumped to the XT4 (which I didn't enjoy) and now the X-H2s. I bought the X-H2s mainly because I really disliked my XT4.

I’ve had the camera since launch, and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to adapt to the control changes (Previously I only used X-T Bodies). Another thing, I find the X-T bodies a lot of fun to shoot with and I wasn’t sure I would find this quite as fun… So, I definitely had some...
