Fujifilm offers a comprehensive selection of cameras to accommodate photographers with various skills and genres. Their mirrorless X-Series and GFX medium format digital cameras offer something for everyone.
Fujifilm X-H2S
The X-H2S is Fuji’s new flagship model and it boasts some serious technology. With its 26.1 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HS image sensor and superfast X-Processor 5, this camera is one of the most powerful, fastest shooting options on the market today.
The camera boasts several improvements over the X-H1, such as higher 5.76M dot resolution in its OLED electronic viewfinder, faster 120fps refresh rate and a 3.62m vari-angle LCD screen. Video capture is even more sophisticated with support for Apple ProRes RAW, BlackMagic RAW and F-Log 2 with up to 14 stops of dynamic range.
In addition to its fast processor and stacked sensor, the X-H2S also boasts an upgraded AF system that’s significantly better than its predecessor. It boasts 425 phase detection points, more contrast detection points, as well as improved tracking performance.
With its AI-powered autofocus system, the X-H2S is capable of automatically identifying a wide variety of subjects – from humans and animals to cars, bikes, airplanes and trains – a feature not available on Fuji’s previous X-Series models.
Despite its impressive performance, the X-H2S is not without flaws. For instance, when shooting at speeds higher than 15 fps you must disable the mechanical shutter for proper exposure.
Fujifilm X100V
The Fujifilm X100V is the newest iteration of their iconic X-series fixed lens camera, now equipped with the advanced X-Trans processor, 23mm f/2.0 lens and tilting touchscreen for improved ergonomics. Though there have been cosmetic upgrades made to this iconic design over time, it still retains its iconic appeal among enthusiasts and professional photographers.
Though this fixed lens model has a small and lightweight body, it makes an ideal travel photographer’s companion. Compared to interchangeable-lens cameras like the Fujifilm X-T4, this one is much smaller and slimmer, meaning that you can fit it into your pocket easily.
It’s an incredibly quiet camera, thanks to its leaf shutter and electronic autofocus system. That makes it a great option for street photography – the sound levels can even be further reduced by disabling all sounds from the camera completely.
Although its autofocus system isn’t as advanced as that found on a Leica Q or M, it still does an adequate job of tracking subjects and maintaining focus. Unfortunately, it’s not quite as fast or smooth as some of Leica’s top X-mount lenses, meaning you may have to put up with some slow response at times.
Fujifilm X-T5
The Fujifilm X-T5 is the newest edition to their X-T series of mirrorless cameras. With its lightweight APS-C body, it makes an ideal choice for photographers who frequently travel or hike to their locations.
The X-T5 boasts a 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 image sensor with a lower base ISO than its predecessor, as well as pixel shift shooting mode that produces an impressive 160MP image (the X-T4 lacks this). Furthermore, there are two digital teleconverter modes and high resolution mode available, ideal for sports or wildlife photography enthusiasts.
The Fujifilm X-T5 boasts an improved IBIS system and the capacity to capture 6.2K video, all of which make the X-T5 an appealing option for photographers of all levels. However, these changes won’t be enough to convince those who aren’t already fans of Fujifilm to consider investing in one.
It’s worth remembering that the X-T5 is designed as a hobbyist camera, not a professional workhorse, so you should evaluate whether its features suit your specific needs or not. Street photographers may find the high resolution too much to handle if they shoot in low light conditions.
Fujifilm X-Pro3
Fujifilm is a well-established camera brand with decades of experience in both film and digital imaging. Their lineup boasts various models, but the X-Pro3 is the newest addition to their product lineup.
The Fujifilm X-Pro3 mirrorless camera is part of their APS-C mirrorless and premium compact camera series, the GFX series. Additionally, there are hybrid X-H(X) and X-T(X) camera models included in this lineup.
The X-Pro3 stands out among its peers with an innovative rear LCD display. It flips down to reveal a touch screen which can be used for taking or reviewing images.
It can also be set to display basic shooting information, like shutter speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity, white balance and film simulation. Alternatively, it can emulate the look of a Fujifilm film carton lid by displaying only current film simulation and ISO settings.
If you’re searching for a premium camera with an eye-catching design, the X-Pro3 is worth considering. It boasts an innovative hybrid viewfinder as well as solid build quality and manual exposure controls that make it suitable for both professionals and enthusiasts alike. Furthermore, the X-Pro3 makes an excellent travel photographer’s companion; providing high-quality images in various lighting conditions.
Fujifilm X-T30
If you’re searching for an all-around camera suitable for everyday shooting and travel, the Fujifilm X-T30 is an excellent option. It boasts a remarkable combination of performance, features and value that should appeal to both emerging photographers and experienced professionals alike.
The X-T30 is a mirrorless camera featuring an APS-C sensor and various dials and buttons on its top and back. While not the smallest or lightest option available, this model has been carefully designed for long lasting reliability.
In terms of image quality, the X-T30 boasts a high ISO range that can be beneficial for low light shots as well as an impressive continuous autofocus system that works quickly and precisely. Furthermore, it records 4K video at up to 30 frames per second in both DCI and UHD resolutions.
Many Fujifilm users appreciate their film simulations, which are a series of calibration profiles designed to replicate various types of film stock such as Astia for portraits, Velvia for landscapes and Eterna for low-contrast cinematic looks. By combining these options with creative editing techniques you can achieve an array of looks unique to your images.
Fujifilm X-E4
The Fujifilm X-E4 is a rangefinder-style, interchangeable lens APS-C camera with an attractively compact form factor and excellent portability. It boasts an extensive selection of Fujifilm’s X-mount lenses, making it suitable for both stills and video shooters alike.
Despite its unassuming design, the X-E4 is far more capable than you might expect. It boasts Fujifilm’s latest sensor and X-processor, giving it excellent results in both stills and video capture.
It also features a stylish touchscreen that makes zooming into images on the display much faster than using buttons or dials. Plus, there’s even a customizable Quick Menu button for quick access to settings.
Overall, the X-E4 is an impressive camera that will surely delight many photographers. It’s ideal for anyone who requires a compact X-mount body with top IQ performance but doesn’t want to forgo too much control.
Ultimately, the X-E4 is one of the best APS-C cameras we’ve tested. It’s fun to use, looks fantastic and captures high-quality photos and videos. Plus, those who don’t need in-body image stabilization or a larger grip may find this model ideal.
Fujifilm GFX100S
Fujifilm is continually innovating with their GFX line, and this latest model offers an excellent upgrade for GFX 100 owners. It packs the same 102MP medium format sensor into a body that’s almost 50% smaller, 30% lighter and 40% cheaper than its predecessor.
It also adds in-body image stabilisation, which can be invaluable when shooting with fast and wide-angle lenses. The IS unit in the GFX 100 is 20% smaller and 10% lighter than its counterpart, making it more effective.
The GFX100S features a new shutter mechanism that reduces the time needed to lock onto subjects and, combined with its IS, provides excellent hand-held low light performance. While not as impressive as Fujifilm’s X-H1, X-T4 or X-S10 models, it still performs better than many full frame competitors.
The autofocus system on this camera is slightly slower than many of its full-frame rivals, but this can be advantageous when shooting in low light conditions where extra lag may be beneficial. Video mode does offer face/eye detection but it’s not quite up to par with more recent Fujifilm cameras.
