Sony ZV-E1 / Fujifilm X-H2S

Sony ZV-E1: ZV-E1 body (US code ILCZVE1/B). The 28–60 mm lens kit uses the same body. The APS-C ZV-E10 II is a separate model.

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.

SpecificationSony ZV-E1Fujifilm X-H2S
Release year20232022
Sensor35 mm full-frame (35.6 × 23.8 mm) Exmor R CMOS; about 12.1MP for stills, 10.1MP for video

A low-resolution full-frame sensor gathers more light per pixel, at the cost of limited room for cropping stills.

Sony
23.5 × 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.

ISOISO 80–102400 for stills and video (expandable to 40–409600) Sony—
AutofocusFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 627 for video; EV −6 to 20

Subject recognition covers humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aircraft.

Sony
Intelligent 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
Shutter and burstElectronic shutter only; 1/8000 to 30 s; about 10 fps in Hi+

There is no mechanical shutter; the line-by-line readout of the electronic shutter can skew fast-moving subjects.

Sony
Mechanical 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
4K video4K up to 59.94p in XAVC S/HS/S-I; 4:2:2 10-bit; 600 Mbps in XAVC S-I

XAVC HS uses H.265 and XAVC S uses H.264; XAVC S-I uses intra-frame coding, which is lighter to edit but takes much more space.

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

Fujifilm
Image stabilisation—5-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.

Video—6.2K 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
Storage media—Dual 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.
