Fujifilm X-H2S / Sony α7R V (ILCE-7RM5)

Fujifilm X-H2S: X-H2S body (2022). The X-H2 with the 40 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor is a separate model; the XF16-80mm lens in the image is sold separately.

Sony α7R V (ILCE-7RM5): ILCE-7RM5 body, black. Kit options vary by market; the α7R IV and α7R VI are separate models.

SpecificationFujifilm X-H2SSony α7R V (ILCE-7RM5)
Release year20222022
Sensor23.5 × 15.6 mm (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS 5 HS; 26.16 million effective pixels; ultrasonic sensor cleaning

According to Fujifilm the stacked, back-illuminated design quadruples readout speed, which reduces rolling-shutter skew on moving subjects with the electronic shutter and in video.

Fujifilm		35 mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS; approx. 61.0 MP effective (62.5 MP total)

61 MP allows heavy cropping and large prints; in return files are big and call for fast cards and a capable computer.

Sony
Processor and mountX-Processor 5; FUJIFILM X mount

Fujifilm says X-Processor 5 is twice as fast as the previous generation and enables deep-learning subject detection.

Fujifilm		—
AutofocusIntelligent Hybrid AF (contrast + phase detection); phase detection down to −7.0 EV; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle/bike, airplane and train detection

The −7.0 EV figure is with the XF50mmF1.0 attached; the limit changes with slower lenses.

Fujifilm		693 phase-detection points in full frame; 567 phase + 25 contrast points in APS-C mode Sony
Image stabilisation5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation, up to 7.0 stops (CIPA); digital stabilisation and IS Boost in video

The 7-stop rating is per CIPA, for pitch/yaw shake only and with the XF35mmF1.4 R lens.

Fujifilm		5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation; 8.0 stops per CIPA (with FE 50 mm F1.2 GM, pitch/yaw only)

The 8-stop figure applies to a specific lens and test condition; the effect varies with other lenses. Active mode in video adds stabilisation but crops the image.

Sony
Shutter and burstMechanical to 1/8000 s, electronic to 1/32000 s; about 40 fps with the electronic shutter, 15 fps mechanical; Pre-shot; flash sync 1/250 s

At 40 fps about 175 compressed RAW frames are recorded; these figures were measured with a CFexpress Type B card. Pre-shot records frames while the shutter is half-pressed.

Fujifilm		1/8000–30 s and Bulb; mechanical and electronic shutter; 10 fps in Hi+ mode

Exposures longer than 30 seconds need Bulb mode or an external intervalometer.

Sony
Video6.2K 3:2 open gate (6240 × 4160) up to 29.97p; DCI 4K/4K up to 120p; Full HD up to 240p; Apple ProRes 422 HQ/422/LT, H.265 (including All-Intra) and H.264; 4:2:2 10-bit

ProRes is only recorded to a CFexpress Type B card. Open gate records the full 3:2 sensor area, so footage can later be cropped for horizontal and vertical formats. The optional FAN-001 cooling fan can be attached for long recordings in high temperatures.

Fujifilm		8K 24p (25p) and 4K 60p (50p); XAVC S (H.264) and XAVC HS (H.265)

H.265 (XAVC HS) gives smaller files at the same quality but needs a more powerful computer to edit.

Sony
Storage mediaDual slots: CFexpress Type B (up to 2 TB) and SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I/UHS-II, V90)

Stills can be saved as JPEG, HEIF (4:2:2 10-bit) and 14-bit RAW.

Viewfinder and screens0.5-inch OLED viewfinder, about 5.76 million dots, 100% coverage; 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen LCD, 1.62 million dots; 1.28-inch top information display

The vari-angle screen flips out to the side and rotates, which helps for selfies and vertical video.

Processor and AI—BIONZ XR image processor and dedicated AI processing unit

The AI unit uses human body and pose data for subject recognition; Sony says vehicles and insects are now recognised as well as people.

ISO—Stills ISO 100–32000 (expanded 50–102400); movies ISO 100–32000 equivalent Sony
Viewfinder—0.64-inch Quad-XGA OLED, 9,437,184 dots, 100% coverage, approx. 0.90× magnification; 60 or 120 fps

The 120 fps setting shows moving subjects more smoothly in the finder at the cost of more battery drain.

Sony
Monitor—3.2-inch TFT, 2,095,104 dots; fully articulating (up 98°, down 40°, side 180°, rotation 270°)

The screen both flips out to the side and tilts on the horizontal axis; this four-way design helps with vertical shots and gimbal work.

Sony
Pixel Shift—Pixel Shift Multi Shooting: 4 or 16 shots

The sensor is shifted by a pixel between frames; frames combined on a computer give higher colour resolution or a bigger image. It needs static subjects and a tripod.

Sony
Card slots—Two slots; each takes SD (UHS-I/UHS-II) or CFexpress Type A

CFexpress Type A clears the buffer faster in 8K and long bursts; SD cards also work.

Sony
Connectivity—USB-C (10 Gbit/s, USB 3.2), power and charging via USB Power Delivery; Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4/5 GHz); Bluetooth 5.0

USB PD lets the camera run from a power bank or adapter while shooting; 10 Gbit/s suits file transfer and streaming.

Sony
Operating temperature—0–40 °C Sony
