Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Fujifilm X-H2S Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing GFX 100S and X-H2S, two Mirrorless cameras by Fujifilm. Fujifilm GFX 100S is a Pro Mirrorless class camera and Fujifilm X-H2S is a Advanced Mirrorless class camera.

Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Fujifilm X-H2S: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm GFX 100S and Fujifilm X-H2S side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm GFX 100S has external dimensions of 150 x 104 x 87 mm (5.91 x 4.09 x 3.43″) and weighs 900 g (1.98 lb / 31.75 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-H2S has external dimensions of 136 x 93 x 95 mm (5.35 x 3.66 x 3.74″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm GFX 100S and the Fujifilm X-H2S. Fujifilm X-H2S is 14mm narrower and 11mm shorter than Fujifilm GFX 100S but it is also 8mm thicker.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-H2S is significantly lighter (240g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 100S which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm GFX 100S has a Medium format sensor and Fujifilm X-H2S has a smaller APS-C sensor, Fujifilm X-H2S's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm GFX 100S lenses.

Weather Sealing

Both the GFX 100S and the X-H2S have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm GFX 100S's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-H2S's 3″ screen.



Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Fujifilm X-H2S: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 102.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-H2S has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized Stacked BSI X-Trans sensor and features X-Processor 5 processor.

Fujifilm GFX 100S's sensor provides 76MP more than Fujifilm X-H2S's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X-H2S's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the GFX 100S and X-H2S sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 4.0x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm X-H2S. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm GFX 100S vs Fujifilm X-H2S Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that the Fujifilm X-H2S has an advantage over the Fujifilm GFX 100S There are 83 lenses for the Fujifilm X-H2S's Fujifilm X mount, but on the other hand, there are only 15 lenses for the Fujifilm GFX 100S's Fujifilm G lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Both Fujifilm GFX 100S and Fujifilm X-H2S have Sensor-based Image stabilization which means that all the lenses will be stabilized in these bodies. X-H2S's built-in Image stabilization system is effective for compensating vibration up to 7.0-stops according to CIPA standards.
