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.

Instax SQUARE Link App Available Now

Fujifilm X-T5?

No way!

What Fujifilm is really looking forward to release is the Instax SQUARE Link printer, just another Instax product that will sell like crazy and really put lots of cash into Fuji’s imaging division.

And ahead of the launch of the new Instax SQUARE Link printer, Fujifilm already released the new INSTAX SQUARE Link App which you can download at the App store here and at the Google Play Store here.

The Instax SQUARE Link printer is the missing link in Fuji’s printer lineup, which currently consists in the Instax Link Wide (which I bought) and the Instax Mini Link 2.

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!

You can check out the results at Photons to Photos here.

LEAKED Internal Fujifilm Document Shows Name of New new Camera Remote “X-App”

I have received an internal and confidential document about the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S.

It shows a list of specs that are known to us, but towards the bottom you can read “new remote X-App”.

This confirms our previous rumor about the fact that new camera remote App would be called X-App (at least that’s Fuji’s plan at this point in time).

I explained already why the fact that it will get an all-new name is also an indication that it is a totally re-written App.

When will it come?

I don’t know. Certainly the fact that it is circulating in internal documents means that Fujifilm is at an advanced stage regarding its development.

My hope is that they will at least announce it during the Fujifilm X-T5 launch very soon. But that’s not a rumor at all, just a mere speculation. And my speculations are just as valid as any of yours. Only when sources tell me something we will have something more solid.

The Latest and Greatest…. NOT!

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.

2022 has been a very busy year for Fujifilm so far, with lots of major announcements:

And while we know that for some of you the best has yet to come, I thought that while we wait for the Fujifilm X-T5 to drop very (very) very (very) soon, we can pass our time with a roundup dedicated to the latest and greatest.

So here it is, from comparison of the new Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R WR with the XF56mmF1.2 R APD, lots of reviews of the Fujifilm X-H2S and its frankly amazing autofocus capabilities, the XF18-120mmF4 review by Christopher Frost, the Fuji Guys giving you a guide on the X-H2S autofocus and more.

3… 2… 1… let’s start!

Fujifilm Removes X-T4 and X-E4 from their Japanese Catalog Page

We already told you that major Japanese stores marked the X-T4, X-E4 and X-T30II as discontinued.

Now we have another puzzle piece to add to this: as you can see from the screenshot above, Fujifilm has removed the Fujifilm X-T4 and X-E4 from their Japanese product catalog.

The last available Google cached version of September 2021 still shows both items on the website.

What does this mean for Fujifilm X-T5, X-E4 and X-T30II? Well, I have tried to explain it as good as possible here.
