Sony A7rV vs Fujifilm X-H2 vs Fujifilm GFX100S – The Complete Specs Comparison

Sony just announced the Sony A7rv, a 61 megapixel camera without stacked sensor.

In the Fujifilm world the non-stacked high resolution competitors would be the Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm GFX100S.

You can check out the complete specs comparison at the B&H comparison page here.

With the Fujifilm X-H2 costing just half the price of the Sony, to me this shows once again that the best balance is offered by APS-C. Also considering that the 40MP Fujifilm X-T5 will come in at an even lower price.

But if price does not matter and resolution as well as ever so slight increase in dynamic range is what you need, then you can also pay 50% more than the A7rV and get 67% more pixels and plus better dynamic range on the Fujifilm GFX100S.

It’s just nice that we have so much choice these days.

But Specs…

But specs alone don’t tell the whole thing and in some cases they can be even a bit misleading.

The Fujifilm GFX100S might beat the Sony A7rV when it comes to resolution and dynamic range, but the Sony A7rV and of course the latest Fujifilm APS-C cameras have superior autofocus and better video features.

Another example… the Sony A7rV has a 9 Million dot viewfinder as opposed to the 5 million dot EVF of the Fujifilm X-H2. But the EVF of the X-H2 has all new optical elements that give an incredible corner to corner sharp view.

And once you go at 5+ million dots and beyond, it gets harder and harder for the human eye to notice any difference. In fact, I have read statements of journalists who used both viewfinders, the one of the new Sony A7rV and the Fujifilm X-H2, and they said that they honestly can’t see any difference. So I guess it’s up to companies to decide if customers have to spend more money on even higher resolution EVF’s that bring no real life benefit, but that allow them to brag on the specs sheet, or use a more affordable EVF that gives just the same results.

What on the other hand makes much more influence on the real life shooting experience of the Sony A7rV is the new tilt screen, which is similar to the one Fujifilm already used many years ago on the Fujifilm X-T100, and here on FujiRumors we said that this is actually one of the two features Fujifilm should take from their entry level line and implement in higher end cameras.

So, as in everything, there is much more than just specs that define a camera. But specs are a good start, and you can compare them here at BHphoto.

Photons to Photos Fujifilm X-H2 Dynamic Range Data Shows Best Base ISO Dynamic Range on X series

Photons to Photos just published its data regarding the sensor performance of the 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-H2.

We see that at base ISO the Fujifilm X-H2 has the best dynamic range of all Fujifilm cameras thanks to its new native ISO125.

Dual conversion gain is at ISO 500.

An astonishing result for a camera with significantly more megapixel than any other X series camera. And remember, the Fujifilm X-T5 will have the same sensor of the Fujifilm X-H2, so the results of the X-T5 will be pretty much identical to the one of the X-H2.

Well done, Fujifilm!

Iridient Developer 3.8 and X-Transformer 2.6 Updates Released with Fujifilm X-H2 Support and More

Iridient Developer 3.8 and X-Transformer 2.6 updates have been released with RAW support for the new Fujifilm X-H2. These updates also include updated Iridient camera profiles for the X-H2S/X-H2 and the latest default color/white balance calibration metadata from Adobe’s latest DNG Converter 14.5 release.

Fujifilm X-H2 pixel shift multi-shot mode merging is not yet supported by either application. These RAF images can be opened individually, but they will not be combined into a extra high resolution image.

X-Transformer 2.6 for macOS 10.10-13 and Windows 7-11 can be downloaded here.

Iridient Developer 3.8 for macOS 10.10-13 can be downloaded here.

GUESS WHAT? The Fujifilm X-H2, XF56mmF1.2 R WR and XF18-120mmF4 are In Stock (but not Yet Everywhere)

Guess what?

The Fujifilm X-H2 is right now in stock at the first stores such as Adorama here. Make sure to check the stock at BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama, Moment and Focuscamera.

Also the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R WR starts to be in stock such as Adorama here. Make sure to check the stock at BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama, Moment and Focuscamera.

And also the Fujinon XF18-120mmF4 is in stock everywhere, such as at BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama and Moment.

So what’s the deal you say?

Well, it is a rare thing to see Fujifilm gear available right when Fujifilm promised it (September 29). Honestly can’t remember when it was the last time.

But it looks like this time Fujifilm planed things more wisely.

Let’s just hope stock will be stable and it won’t run out of stock for months.

Understanding Fujifilm X-H2S versus X-H2… and Which One Would you Pick? (POLL)

Michael from Fujifilm explains the big and small differences between the Fujifilm X-H2s and Fujifilm X-H2, two Fujifilm mirrorless cameras released 3 months apart from each other, both built on the same magnesium alloy body.

And now that we know everything about these cameras (price, specs, performance, etc), I was curious to know which one you would pick if you had to buy one of them. Would you get the X-H2 or the X-H2s?

Fujifilm X-H2 DigitalCamera Review: “Fujifilm just Broke all the Rules for APS-C camera Sensors”

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.
