Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S and X-T4 Autofocus Performance Comparison Sheet (and X-H2 Beats X-H2S in One Aspect)

Fujifilm has shared a data sheet with a rough autofocus comparison between the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-H2s and Fujifilm X-T4.

It does not really tell us much, but it is interesting to note that at its best, all cameras can focus at 0.02 sec. A limitation that is given by hardware (moving the lens elements etc). And of course the X-T4 of course lacks of subject and animal tracking features.

Other than that, whenever something is moving, the Fujifilm X-H2S has the upper hand due to its stacked sensor design.

However, there is one aspect, where the Fujifilm X-H2 beats the Fujifilm X-H2S, and that’s “high frequency subject“. The reason for that is simple and Fujifilm explains it below.

X-H2’s higher pixel count increases the number of phase detection pixels, which improves AF-S focusing accuracy on subjects including landscapes and portraits. The camera also incorporates an improved AF prediction algorithm, newly developed for the X-H2S, enabling stable focusing even when using AF-C. The X-H2S excels in moving object tracking utilizing the performance of the stacked sensor, while the X-H2 excels in accurate AF for static subjects.

So there is an advantage also in having many more phase detection pixels packed closer together into a higher megapixel camera.

Fujifilm Updates List of Recommended CFexpress Cards for Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S

With the announcement of the 8K capable Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm has updated the list of compatible and best recommended CFExpress Type B Cards.

But attention, not all CFexpress Cards are made equal:

  • Some CFexpress Type B Cards can’t record 6K/4K
  • Some can record 6K/4K but not in ProResHQ
  • Some can record all video formats, but when used for bursts don’t last as long as others
  • Only 11 Card Models can do it all and can do it best

CFexpress Type B Cards – Official Fujifilm Recommended

Out of all the cards mentioned above, these are the cards without any compromise in performance at all:

Fujifilm GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift and GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift (Quietly) Announced – First Images

I don’t know if you did, but I did it… I followed the Fujifilm X summit until the very end.

And right in the very last seconds, Fujifilm showed two mockups of future GF tilt shift lenses, the GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift and the GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift.

Above the image of both lenses and below some hands on images.

Looks like we were right, when we said Fujifilm was hiding one tilt shift lens from us in the G mount roadmap ;).

List of Fujinon XF Lenses that Get Maximum Benefit from Fujifilm X-H2 (and X-T5) with 40 Megapixel Resolution

What’s Best on 40MP

Let’s be clear: more or less every single Fujifilm XF lens will perform better on the 40MP sensor. So even if an older lens can’t really resolve all the 40MP, they will still perform better than on the current 26MP sensor. Some might resolve 30MP, others 33MP, others more or less.

In short: the new 40MP sensor will make every single XF lens perform at its best possible in terms of resolution.

And yet, not all take full advantage of the new 40MP sensor. And Fujifilm was kind enough to provide us with a list of lenses, that will get maximum benefit from the X-H2 40MP sensor.

The lenses are:
