Fuji X-H2 Press Release
Fujifilm Introduces FUJIFILM X-H2 mirrorless digital camera
Equipped with the new, 40.2MP “X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR” sensor to deliver the highest image quality in the X Series lineup
Valhalla, N.Y. — September 8, 2022 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced the launch of the FUJIFILM X-H2 mirrorless digital camera (X-H2). X-H2 features the new, back-illuminated 40.2MP “X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR” sensor and the high-speed “X-Processor 5”, boasting the highest resolution in the X Series lineup in both stills and videos, as well as becoming the world’s first¹ APS-C camera to enable 8K/30P Apple ProRes internal recording. “X-H2 joining the flagship X-H family is not only huge for us at Fujifilm, but it is also especially significant for our consumers”, said Victor Ha, vice president of the Electronic Imaging and Optical Device Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “X-H2S, which debuted in May, excels in speed, perfect for image makers who create moving content. X-H2 delivers exceptional image resolution and quality that are ideal for those creating images in super-high detail. We listened to our customers and took their feedback to heart, creating this
amazing family of X-H cameras that are tailor-made to their distinct specialties.”
Main product features:
New X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR sensor and the high-speed X-Processor 5
The exceptional image quality delivered by the new sensor is complemented with advanced features including minimum standard ISO125, and the high-resolution 40.2MP sensor of the X-H2 has a unique image-processing algorithm designed to enhance image resolution without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio, producing astonishing image quality.
the previous model’s 1/32,000 sec, to 1/180,000 sec). This allows users to
the fastest shutter speed available within the X Series (the electronic shutter has been increased by 2.5 stops from leave the aperture wide open in bright or high-contrast conditions such as on a sunny beach or a ski slope, or to instantly freeze motion down to a millisecond.
X-H2 is the first X Series camera featuring the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which is ideal for commercial photography and digital archiving applications that need hi-resolution images with flawless color accuracy. Using the camera’s in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism to shift the image sensor with immense precision, 20 reference images are automatically created and later assembled in post-production using the dedicated “Pixel Shift Combiner”
software. The result is a 160 Megapixel image, constructed from the total information available from each RGB pixel found on the X-H2’s new X Trans 5 CMOS HR sensor.
X-H2 also supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality
in files up to 30% smaller than standard JPEG files, continuing to expand
Fujifilm’s reputation of delivering high-quality images straight out of camera.
Excellent performance for professional video production needs
With the new sensor, 8K movies can be recorded internally at 30P in 4:2:2 10- bit color. X-H2 has a heat-dissipating design — same as the X-H2S — to enable recording of 8K/30P video for up to 30 minutes². X-H2 is also capable of producing high-quality 4K (4K HQ) video, which is oversampled from 8K as it is being recorded internally. The result is an image that makes maximum use of the camera’s high-resolution sensor to record video with optimal image quality.
X-H2 supports three Apple ProRes codecs; ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 LT, with the option to also record ProRes 422 Proxy³ to help streamline post-production workflows when editing in 8K.
With the help of X-Trans CMOS 5 HR, X-H2 is capable of delivering up to 2x of
digital zoom with little-to-no loss in resolution, when recording video in 4K, even
with a prime lens attached to the camera.
With Fujifilm’s FUJINON XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens, zoom movements
seamlessly transition to the digital zoom function when the lens reaches its
maximum focal length.
Combined with a compatible HDMI device from Atomos or Blackmagic Design, 12-bit 8K/30P RAW video output from X-H2 can be recorded as Apple ProRes or Blackmagic RAW, while the newly developed F-Log2 flat picture profile expands dynamic range up to 13+ stops, which broadens color-grading options in post-production.
Evolved autofocus (AF) performance to accurately capture details
X-Processor 5 features subject-detection AF based on deep learning technology that automatically detects and tracks a broad and diverse range of subjects, including animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, and trains.
The new, high-resolution sensor offers optimal ability to attain AF-S focus on a subject with high-frequency. Users can easily autofocus accurately in situations where AF-S is typically used, such as landscape and portrait photography. X-H2 also incorporates an AF prediction algorithm which has been improved from that of previous X Series models.
X-H2 is equipped with a focus meter as a manual focus assist during movie recording, allowing for more precise focus adjustment. It can also be used in combination with focus peaking.
The video AF algorithm has been optimized for autofocus accuracy, giving users a sense of confidence in using AF while filming 8K video.
Hardware and workflow that support users’ content creation experience
A 5-axis in-body IBIS⁴, made possible by X-Processor 5 and a sensing control function, gives the freedom to handhold in conditions that previously may have required support. In addition, the IBIS function enables the image sensor to be precisely shifted, for the camera’s Pixel Shift Multi Shot function.
X-H2 is equipped with a high-magnification and high-definition 5.76-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification. It boasts a smooth refresh frame rate of approximately 120fps and offers significant control over parallax and distortion which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder.
The body design is the same as X-H2S. With 79 weather-sealed points offering a high level of dust and moisture resistance, X-H2 is built to withstand the rigors of daily professional use and operate as normal in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). The top panel LCD screen, adjustable AF ON button,1.62 million-dot vari-angle LCD monitor, and an independent movie recording button support comfortable operability.
X-H2 has one CFexpressTM Type B memory card slot and one UHS-II SD memory card slot. CFexpress Type B cards⁵ are needed to realize the full potential of X-H2’s professional video performance.
X-H2S / X-H2 can be combined with the file transmitter “FT-XH” to enable wired and wireless LAN tethered video recording⁶. Up to four X-H2S / X-H2 cameras can be connected simultaneously to enable the following operations from a computer browser:

Hasselblad X2D vs Fuji GFX100 – Let’s compare these two cameras – We do know the camera Hasselblad X2D cost $8199 and the GFX100 cost $9999. So, roughly 2K is more costly than the X2D camera.
Both Cameras use the same 100MP BSI CMOS. Fuji GFX100S Image processor is more powerful hence we are able to have a slightly wider ISO range in the GFX100 camera as well as the GFX100 is able to process continuous shooting speed up to 5fps.
Once the samples become available we will also publish a High ISO test between the two.
Hasselblad is limited to still photography only, with no video options available in the camera. Although, at the price point where both of them are available to us it actually doesn’t matter if the camera is able to shoot video or not if you are a still photographer. Since, if you have that budget and in cinematography, you will prefer cinema cameras like FX3 or C70 or maybe even better them both.

Overall Buy Fuji GFX100 still looks impressive in the Still Photography part, and you can shoot 4K videos too with a 100MP medium format sensor with the GFX100, that’s not possible with the X2D. At the end of the day you will be getting the same image quality from both camera, so decide is wisely which camera is best for you.
Hasselblad X2D 100C – finally announced. The camera uses the same sensor we have seen the Fuji GFX 100. The pixel count of the sensor is 11,656 x 8742 (almost 102MP). The camera is able to capture 16-bit files with 15 stops of dynamic range. The X2D’s ISO range runs from 64–25,600. AF speed by 66% over the X1D II 50C. The Hasselblad X2D 100C features 294 phase detection points across 97% area of the sensor. X2D offers up to 7 stops of stabilization, so literally, it will allow you to handheld shooting at shutter speeds for as long as one second.
Hasselblad X2D features built-in 1TB SSD – 4004 Raw+JPEG images, 5331 Raw files, or a cool 16,000 JPEGs. Having a dual card slot always helps in case of card failure while attending a pro event, so I hope Hassy also allows us to have an online backup or something similar to that for more secure shooting.
The Hasselblad X2D 100C is available starting today through Hasselblad’s shop for €8,699 / £7,369 / ¥54,900 including VAT and $8,199 excluding sales tax.
Hasselblad Launches New Flagship Camera and Three All-New Lenses
Introducing the X2D 100C, XCD38V, XCD 55V and XCD 90V
After the groundbreaking success of the X1D-50c and its second iteration, the X1D II 50C, Hasselblad unveils the powerful X2D 100C, along with three new lenses to the XCD family, the XCD 2,5/38V, XCD 2,5/55V, and the XCD 2,5/90V, providing the ultimate experience for content creators. Hasselblad X2D 100C – Inspiration in Every Detail Hasselblad’s next-generation mirrorless medium format digital camera, the X2D 100C, has been engineered to bring substantial technological enhancements to image quality, camera handling, and system responsiveness. Designed in a new dark grey tone body of machined aluminium, the X2D 100C houses a 100-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) (43.8 × 32.9 mm) CMOS sensor, delivering up to 15 stops of dynamic range with a 16-bit colour depth. The X2D 100C enables a creative experience unimaginable in the past. It empowers content creators to capture the intricacies of an image’s highlights and shadows, utilising the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS). Working alongside the new 5-axis, 7-stop in-body image stabilisation system (IBIS), handheld image capture is possible in the widest range of conditions. Hasselblad independently developed its own IBIS for the X2D 100C in order to meet the stringent requirements for stabilising a 100MP sensor. Keeping size and weight in mind for easy portability, the X2D 100C is the most compact medium format IBIS solution on the market.1
With 294 Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) zones, the system ensures the subject is rapidly located and brought into focus. The X2D 100C captures files in 3FR RAW and full-size JPEG, and the cutting-edge, built-in 1TB SSD storage and CFexpress Type B card support delivers a high capture rate for fast-moving subjects.
The X2D 100C features an 0.5-inch OLED Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) with 5.76-million dots, a high magnification of 1.00x with a refresh rate of 60fps, which supports electric refractive error correction to ensure the whole display is sharp and bright, from corner to corner.2 A 1.08-inch colour top display and a 2.36MP, 3.6-inch tilting, touch-capable rear display delivers access to all of these new imaging technologies whilst keeping the intuitive Hasselblad User Interface (HUI) and Scandinavian style of the X System. The battery has a CIPA rating of 420 shots and supports PD 3.0 fast charging.3 Additionally, the X2D 100C is compatible with Phocus, Hasselblad’s free image processing software.
“When developing the X2D 100C, our goal was the same as always, just as Victor Hasselblad himself made decades ago: build a better camera,” said Bronius Rudnickas, Hasselblad Marketing Manager. “This commitment drives us to explore the possibility to improve its performance from all aspects.”
¹ Among interchangeable-lens mirrorless digital cameras with a 55mm-diameter CMOS sensor (according to a Hasselblad market survey on 1 March, 2022). ² Magnification: approximately 1.00x with the XCD 65 at infinity, –1 m-1. ³ To charge via PD protocol, the charging cable and power source must be PD-compatible.

Canon Germany just issued an official statement – The interview was published on The German site Photografix Magazine
Take a look at what Canon Germany said about the Viltrox lens ban
SHENZHEN JUEYING TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD, manufactures autofocus lenses for Canon RF mounts under the brand name “Viltrox”. Canon believes that these products infringe their patent and design rights and has therefore requested the company to stop all activities that infringe Canon’s intellectual property rights.
Canon Germany believes that third-party lens makers Viltrox infringe on their patent and design rights.
TNC takes – Whatever has happened right now, it makes the entire situation very clear Canon doesn’t want third-party lens makers to make RF Lenses. No issue exists with other brands such as Nikon, Sony, and Fuji. Such, a decision will impact Canon growing consumer base.
