Fujifilm X-Summit: Liveblogging Fujifilm's latest announcements, including its new X-H2S camera, F-Log2 and more

Fujifilm is hosting its X-Summit 2022 event in Omiya, Japan. We're live-blogging the latest announcements as they're made in the live-streamed event. Refresh and follow along to keep up with Fujifilm's latest products.

Fujifilm has announced a new 5th-generation sensor and processor.

The new stacked SMOS sensor is the X-Trans CMOS 5HS. It features a stacked layer structure and is four-times faster than Fujifilm's previous CMOS sensor.

This new sensor features a higher EVF rate, high-speed burst shooting, 'fast and reliable' AF and high-framerate video capture.

Fujifilm has also shown off a new camera, but hasn't explicitly mentioned the camera by name.

Fujifilm is now detailing its new image processor, the X-Processor 5. Fujifilm says this new processor is 30x faster than its predecessor while using one half the power. It also supports ProRes 422 HQ, H.265 and HEIF capture modes for stills and video.

The processor also supports CFexpress Type B memory cards.

Fujifilm has unveiled its latest camera, the X-H2S.

Fujifilm says it's extensively worked with professional photographers and filmmakers to make this new camera.

It's capable of 40fps (e-shutter) capture with AF and blackout-free shooting. 15fps with the mechanical shutter. The camera uses new algorithms, high-speed read-out and high-speed processing to process up to 120fps from the sensor, which allows for high-speed shooting while providing data for autofocus and other features.

The X-H2S has a wide-view EVF with 0.8x magnification, 5.76M dots and a 120fps refresh rate.

Fujifilm says it's focused extensively on the optics of the viewfinder, which uses an aspherical design to provide the clearest images possible, even when your eye isn't centered in the viewfinder.

The X-H2S will have a five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system that's CIPA_rated for up to seven stops of compensation.

Fujifilm says its goal is to make the X-H2S the ultimate run-and-gun camera that doesn't require a dedicated gimbal.

The X-Processor 5 inside the X-H2S powers a slew of shooting modes, including internal ProRes 422 HQ, H.265 (All-intra 422 MOV) and Raw 6.2K/30p output (presumably with external recorders)

The X-H2S features one SD card slot and one CFexpress Type B card slot with read and write speeds up to 1700MB/s and 1500MB/s, respectively. ProRes 422 HQ will be limited to the CFexpress Type B card, based on the data rates provided.

The X-H2S will also be the first Fujifilm camera to feature F-Log2, a new gamma mode that offers 14+ stops of dynamic range.

The X-H2S will feature a full-sized HDMI Type-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 3.5mm microphone jack and a USB-C connector with cable lock screw.

Fujifilm has apparently learned its lessons by watching other camera manufacturers suffer from overheating while shooting data-intensive video. As such, the company has announced a dedicated (and optional) cooling fan for the X-H2S, which appears to screw onto the back of the camera when the rear display is folded out.
