Like its FUJIFILM X-H2S stablemate, the X-H2 comes with a new X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor—but with resolution jumping from 26MP to 40MP. The sensor shift mode—Pixel Shift Multi-Shot for FUJIFILM—has been around a few cameras already but makes its way to FUJIFILM X cameras here, allowing production of huge 160MP files. Speaking of sensor movement, the X-H2 and X-H2S boast incredible 7-stop internal image stabilization (IBIS). Like the XH-1 before it, FUJIFILM X-H cameras have robust video specs, with the X-H2 bringing the ability to record 8K/30P video for 240 minutes with 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes footage recorded internally via CF Express Type B cards or 12-bit raw footage recorded via the Type A HDMI socket to external recorders. Rounding out these eye-watering specs is a continuous shooting speed of up to 15fps with a mechanical shutter that tops out at 1/8000-second and an electronic shutter that allows up to 20 fps and a blistering 1/180,000-second.

The new XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR lens succeeds its popular predecessor in many important ways that will appeal to professionals and enthusiasts alike. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 85mm (a traditional portrait focal length), the new WR designation on this 56mm lens indicates that this lens has been sealed against weather and dust. A fluorine-coated front element repels water and fingerprints. The new 13-element/8-group optical design incorporates two aspherical elements and a single ED element to minimize chromatic aberrations and coma. The eight elements in the focus group feature high-refractive technology previously found in legendary FUJINON cinema lenses. With an f/1.2 maximum aperture, bokeh quality is of chief importance. To ensure beautiful, clean edge rendering of out-of-focus highlights, this XF 56mm is the first FUJIFILM X-mount lens to receive an 11-blade aperture diaphragm—creating an almost perfectly circular aperture at even f/4 or f/5.6. Minimum focus distance has been shorted to 19.7"—giving the ability capture even more intimate portraits.
