The Fujifilm X-H2 is a professional-grade APS-C camera that boasts a high-resolution 40.2MP sensor, producing detailed images with a pixel count of 7728 x 5152. This camera is likened to the Canon EOS R5 in terms of its versatility, serving well for high-resolution photography, action shooting, and video recording. Priced at around $2000, it offers a robust body, deep buffers, an improved viewfinder, and advanced video features, making it a worthwhile investment for those with a higher budget compared to the slightly lower-priced X-T5.

Fujifilm has a strong presence in the APS-C mirrorless market, with a mature system that includes a comprehensive lens selection and third-party support. The X-H2’s design deviates from the retro style of the X-T series, opting for modern controls and a top-mounted LCD screen, commonly found on premium cameras. The ergonomics of the X-H2 are praised, with its larger size providing a comfortable grip and intuitive control layout.

Key features of the X-H2 include a 7-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS), 8K 30p and 4K 60p video recording, a 5.76m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, and high-speed shooting capabilities with both electronic and mechanical shutters. The camera also supports CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II card slots, and offers ProRes Raw and Blackmagic Raw output via HDMI. The autofocus system, while improved, still trails behind competitors like Sony and Canon, particularly in eye detection and whole sensor tracking.

The X-H2’s sensor performance is highlighted by its high resolution, which does not compromise on ISO performance or dynamic range. The camera also features Pixel Shift Multi-Shot for even higher resolution captures. Despite the increased pixel density, the camera maintains good ISO performance and dynamic range, with effective shadow recovery and highlight retention. Video capabilities are robust, with the camera offering up to 8K30 video and a variety of frame rates and resolutions.

In conclusion, the Fujifilm X-H2 is a versatile and capable camera that excels in both photography and video. Its high-resolution sensor, improved IBIS, and deep buffers make it an attractive option for professionals. While autofocus performance could be further refined, the overall package is compelling, particularly for those who value the APS-C format and Fujifilm’s color science. The X-H2 is considered the best Fuji APS-C camera to date by the reviewer, who prefers it over the X-T5 for its additional features and ergonomics.
