PB: Fujifilm X-H2 Review The Pinnacle of APS-C Performance

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 26, 2022


The Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S have been very well received, and websites are just getting around to posting their full X-H2 reviews. The Photography blog posted its review, and the X-H2 did very well with it, receiving an almost perfect score. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpts below:


Both models represent the absolute pinnacle of what Fuji can currently achieve with an APS-C sensor and, ably supported by a long list of excellent lenses, they far surpass what the likes of Canon, Nikon and Sony have to offer with their equivalent systems…the two new X-H models are so good that they also represent a much cheaper, yet still very high quality alternative, to their rivals’ full-frame systems, offering comparable levels of speed and resolution without having to break the bank…the new X-H2 ups the detail ante to 40 megapixels, the highest of any APS-C camera, impressively without introducing too much noise at higher ISO values, and it also offers the cherry on top of 8K/30p video recording and still blazing fast 20fps burst shooting, albeit the latter being with a modest 1.29x crop.

If you don’t need the high resolution, better AF and improved video capabilities of the X-H2, you can happily save quite a lot of money by opting for one of the cheaper former flagship models such as the X-T4, a deal that is sweetened even further if you prefer their more traditional user interfaces…The X-H2 does have one major advantage over its speedy sibling, namely price… while the X-H2 and X-H2S may look absolutely identical, thanks to their sensor technologies they’re aimed at two quite different types of end user, although the former model’s 8K video mode will muddy the waters a little for some users. Both are outstanding cameras though – all you need to do is make sure to pick the right one…

Capture One For iPad Tethering Announced Plus Auto Fujifilm Film Simulation Support Added

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 24, 2022

Capture One for iPad 1.1.0 was released the other day on the appstore with support for wired and wireless tethering. According to what I can find online, support for this feature should be identical to the computer, so if you can tether your camera to the computer, you can tether it to the iPad. Supported Fujifilm cameras can only be utilized with a wire connection using the apple camera adapter at this time.

Capture One also added full support for film simulations in this update, so you can have your camera-selected film simulation automatically applied to your RAW files on import.

What’s New
Version 1.1.0

  • You can now shoot tethered directly via USB cable or Wi-Fi
  • Remotely trigger a capture from your iPad with our first shutter button iteration
  • Automatically apply the same adjustments to all tethered photos by enabling the “Next Capture Adjustments” toggle
  • Change the Fujifilm simulation of your Fujifilm RAW files from the dedicated tool
  • Export Originals and TIFF files
  • Use Auto Adjust to quickly edit your images
  • Change the Wheel and “Quick Edit” sliding directions in the app’s Gestures & Shortcuts section within the Settings page
  • Get tips on how to use the gesture interactions with our new Onboarding view
  • Other bug fixes and improvements
