Digitalcameraworld has posted its full Fujifilm X-H2 review as well as their dynamic range, noise and resolution lab results compared to other APS-C cameras such as the Fujifilm X-H2S, Canon EOS R7 and the Sony A6600.
Let me start with their final sentence:
We thought that APS-C sensors had reached their resolution limit, especially with the lack of any significant increase in real-world resolution from Canon’s 32.5MP sensor.
But the Fujifilm X-H2 has blown that idea out of the water, with resolution superior to all but a handful of full frame and medium format cameras and at a price that easily undercuts them all.
If anyone was thinking that APS-C had had its day and that full frame was the future, then Fujifilm has just blown that idea out of the water.
So, in terms of resolution, the Fujifilm X-H2 is a true beast.
In terms of dynamic range, it is actually astonishing to see the Fujifilm X-H2 getting better the higher the ISO value is, basically matching and beating at ISO800 and beyond the lower resolution Canon R7 and Sony A6600. Only the Fujifilm X-H2S can stay ahead of the X-H2 in their tests.
And in terms of noise, also here, starting at ISO800, it pretty much matches lower resolution APS-C cameras.
You can see the lab results below.

Not that it is my fault… but I certainly do not help.
I mean, I am attracted by the latest and greatest, my GAS is in constant frenzy (and my wife in constant worries ;)).
My techy-nerdy side is always looking at the details that make the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear better than the one I already own.
With one little distinction: my focus on the latest and greatest does not remain contained to my private life, but I share it publicly here on FujiRumors.
Tens of thousands of fellow X shooters follow me every day in my “obsession” with the latest and greatest, and sometimes the message here on FR might pass, that only what’s brand new and shiny is worth to be considered for this blog.
So let me re-focus, let me for one time ignore whatever Fujifilm has launched in terms of super new gear, and share a roundup that focuses on not so new gear that still brings great joy every day to many of us.
So, I am sorry, Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S, XF56mmF1.2 R WR, GF20-35mmF4 and even Fujifilm X-T5 and what not. This is not your article. This is not your space.
Nope, this space is for all that gear that came before you and made Fujifilm great, before you even ever saw the light of the day.
When Fujifilm launched the 40MP Fujifilm X-H2, they also published a list of lenses that get the maximum benefit from the new high resolution sensor.
This led quite some folks (also here on FujiRumors) to believe that the lenses not on the list will not profit at all from the increased resolution.
Some even said that because of this, they won’t upgrade to the 40MP Fujifilm X-H2 (and also the upcoming 40MP Fujifilm X-T5)
I did try to explain that you have to see in other terms: the new sensor will finally let all XF lenses express at their best in terms of resolution. it’s just those not on the list won’t go quite up all the way to 40MP.
Finally Fujifilm understood that the message they put out was potentially confusing and now added a note on their official Fujifilm X-H2 page:
*The list specifies our selection of lenses that have high resolution performance from edge to edge at maximum aperture, allowing you to fully experience all that the 40MP sensor has to offer. Lenses not listed will also allow you to experience the improved resolution performance of the 40MP sensor.”
So if you want 40MP resolution from edge to edge at maximum aperture, then only the lenses on the list will deliver (see list below). But Fujifilm now clearly says that lenses not listed will also deliver improved resolution performance when used on the 40MP sensor.
Hence, if you want more resolution, buying a Fujifilm X-H2 or the Fujifilm X-T5 will give you that also by using lenses that are not on the list.
And from how I read it, some might even resolve all the 40MP when stopped down at least in the center of the frame. Would be nice if Fujifilm would be even more specific on that.
