X-H2
Capture the essence of high-resolution photography with the Fujifilm X-H2.

In short
The X-H2 supports all X-Trans V recipes, including Nostalgic Neg. and Reala Ace, with deep blue rendering.
Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm X-H2 is a powerhouse of photographic capability, combining a 40.2 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor with the latest X-Processor 5. This combination offers unparalleled detail and dynamic range, making it a dream for photographers who relish the tactile experience of a DSLR-style body. The 5-axis IBIS stabilisation ensures sharp images even in tricky conditions. Shooting with the X-H2 feels intuitive and responsive, allowing you to focus on creative expression rather than technical constraints. Its handling is both robust and refined, providing a professional yet accessible experience for those who love capturing life's details.
The X-H2 excels in film-simulation versatility, running all X-Trans V recipes. This includes new additions like Nostalgic Neg. and Reala Ace, offering exceptional colour depth and dynamic range. When adapting older recipes, remember that blue tones render more deeply, so adjust Colour Chrome FX Blue accordingly. Enjoy the benefits of modern sensor technology with a wide array of artistic possibilities.
Released in 2022, the X-H2 is a flagship of the X-H Series, showcasing Fujifilm's latest sensor technology.
Compared to the X-H2S, the X-H2 offers higher resolution but slower burst rates.
