FUJIFILM X-H2S Mirrorless Camera Body, Black {26.1MP}

Fujifilm's X-Series flagship built for speed and serious video.

The X-H2S sits at the top of Fujifilm's X-mount lineup, built around a 26.16MP X-Trans CMOS 5 Stacked BSI sensor that reads data fast enough to sustain 40 fps electronic burst shooting with 140 RAW frames in the buffer. Drop to 15 fps with the mechanical shutter and you get unlimited JPEG and 1000 RAW frames, the kind of depth that matters when you're tracking erratic subjects across a full day's shoot. Subject Detection AF identifies cars, birds, aircraft, animals, and cyclists, which puts reliable tracking within reach for anyone working unpredictable action.

Video credentials are equally serious. The camera records 6.2K internally in 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes 422 or H.265 to a CFexpress Type B card, and outputs RAW up to 6.2K over HDMI for external recorders. Slow-motion shooters get 4K/120p and HD/240p. The 5-axis in-body stabilization provides up to 7 stops of compensation, which means handheld footage that would otherwise require a gimbal stays usable. Dedicated 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks, a PC sync terminal, and dual card slots covering both CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD round out a pro-ready I/O layout.

At 660g with battery and card, the X-H2S carries a full day without fatigue. The proven X-mount ecosystem gives you access to a deep lens catalog, and Fujifilm's film simulation modes remain a genuine differentiator for shooters who want color science baked in at capture.

Who It's For

Sports and wildlife photographers get 40 fps burst shooting with AI subject detection that tracks birds, animals, and fast vehicles by category. Documentary and commercial video shooters benefit from internal ProRes 422 recording and RAW HDMI output up to 6.2K, with 4K/120p for slow-motion inserts and 3.5mm audio I/O for location sound. Hybrid shooters who move between stills assignments and video work will find the 7-stop IBIS covers handheld video without a separate rig. Event photographers handling long days appreciate the 720-shot battery rating and unlimited mechanical burst depth.

FAQ

How many RAW frames can the X-H2S buffer at 40 fps?

The electronic shutter sustains 40 fps with 140 RAW frames in the buffer before write speed kicks in. If you need unlimited depth, drop to 15 fps mechanical shutter and you get 1000 RAW frames before filling the card.

What video formats does the X-H2S record internally?

H.265 and ProRes 422/422 HQ/422 LT in 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 6.2K at 24/25/29.97 fps. You also get 4K/120p and HD/240p for slow-motion work.

Can you record RAW video externally?

Yes, over HDMI up to 6.2K at 25/24/29.97/23.98 fps in 10-bit 4:2:2 or ProRes RAW to an external recorder.

How much stabilization does the 5-axis system provide?

Up to 7 stops of sensor-shift compensation. That's handheld-usable footage in conditions that normally require a gimbal or tripod.

What's the maximum burst rate with the mechanical shutter?

15 fps with unlimited JPEG or 1000 RAW frames. At 10 fps you get unlimited RAW.

Does the X-H2S have autofocus for moving subjects?

Subject Detection AF tracks cars, birds, aircraft, animals, and cyclists. It also handles face/eye detection with expanded recognition for glasses and partial faces.

What memory card slots does it have?

Dual slots: CFexpress Type B (CFast 2.0) in slot 1 and UHS-II SD in slot 2, both supporting up to 2 TB cards.
