MountCanon RF mount; RF and RF-S lenses. EF/EF-S lenses attach through Mount Adapter EF-EOS R. With RF-S/EF-S lenses the focal length is about 1.6 times the marked value. Canon—
SensorFull-frame (36.0 × 24.0 mm) CMOS; up to about 24.2 MP effective, about 25.6 MP total; Dual Pixel CMOS AF Canon23.5 × 15.7 mm APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR; 40.2 MP effective

The same sensor is used in the X-T5 and X-H2; the high resolution leaves room to crop but makes files larger.

Fujifilm
Image stabilizationCamera-side image stabilization (IS mode) that works together with stabilized lenses. A digital stabilization option is also available for movies. Canon—
ISOISO 100–102400; expanded L (equivalent to ISO 50) and H (equivalent to ISO 204800) Canon—
AutofocusDual Pixel CMOS AF; EV −7.5 to 21 for stills (f/1.2 lens, center point, One-Shot AF, ISO 100). Up to 1053 zones (39 × 27) in automatic selection and up to 4368 selectable positions (78 × 56) for a single point.

The position count does not represent AF performance; Canon states this itself.

Canon
Intelligent hybrid phase + contrast detection; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle, airplane and train detection

Subject detection finds the chosen subject type in the frame and tries to keep focus on it.

Fujifilm
ShutterElectronic first curtain: 1/4000–30 s and bulb. Fully electronic: up to 1/16000 s in Fv, Tv and M (1/8000 in P and Av), 30 s and bulb. Flash sync 1/200 s.

Flash photography is not supported with the fully electronic shutter.

Canon
Mechanical 4 s (30 s in A mode) to 1/4000 s; electronic up to 1/180,000 s; flash sync 1/180 s

The electronic shutter is silent and allows very short exposures, but fast-moving subjects can appear skewed.

Fujifilm
Continuous shootingUp to 40 frames per second with the electronic shutter (High-speed continuous+) and 6 with electronic first curtain. A pre-continuous shooting setting is available. Canon test-condition burst depth: 1000+ with electronic first curtain and 190 with electronic shutter for JPEG; 73 for RAW with electronic shutter.

Burst values are given for a 128 GB UHS-II card under Canon test conditions.

Recording time limitA single clip can run up to 6 hours (below 100 fps) or 2 hours (100 fps and above). With a new, fully charged battery and the screen in use, Canon lists about 40 min of 4K 59.94/50p and about 2 hr of Full HD 29.97/25p.

Recording can stop sooner because of overheating, the power supply or errors.

WirelessWi-Fi (equivalent to IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac/ax; 2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.3 (Bluetooth Low Energy)

The manual states MIMO is not supported; the highest listed link speed is 143.4 Mbps.

Canon
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 4.2 low energy

Bluetooth keeps the phone paired and passes location data, while Wi-Fi handles photo transfer.

Fujifilm
BatteryBattery Pack LP-E17, one. CIPA-based shots per charge: 220 (power saving) / 150 (Smooth) with the viewfinder, 340 / 270 with the screen (+23 °C, new fully charged battery). CanonNP-W126S lithium-ion; about 305 frames in normal mode and about 390 in economy mode

The frame count was measured by Fujifilm with the XF35mmF1.4 R; it is clearly lower than with the X-T5’s larger NP-W235 battery.

Fujifilm

Processor—X-Processor 5

The image processor that runs the autofocus algorithms, film simulations and video encoding.

Fujifilm
Lens mount—FUJIFILM X

Directly compatible with X-series XF and XC lenses; GF lenses do not fit this body.

Fujifilm
Image size—3:2 up to 7728 × 5152

This is the pixel size of the largest photo at the sensor’s full resolution.

Fujifilm
Files—JPEG, 10-bit 4:2:2 HEIF, 14-bit RAF RAW; TIFF only from in-camera RAW conversion

HEIF stores more colour gradations than JPEG; RAW gives the most flexibility when editing.

Fujifilm
Standard ISO—125–12,800; extended 64–51,200

Extended ISO values may reduce dynamic range or add noise; the maker counts them outside the standard range.

Fujifilm
Stabilisation—5-axis sensor shift; up to 7.0 stops; additional digital stabilisation for video

Sensor shift reduces shake even with unstabilised lenses; digital stabilisation crops the image slightly.

Fujifilm
Burst shooting—Mechanical about 8 fps; electronic 13 fps uncropped, 20 fps with a 1.29× crop

In the 20 fps mode speed drops after 168 JPEGs or 66 compressed RAW frames; buffer depth depends on file type.

Fujifilm
Film simulation—20 modes; dedicated film simulation dial on the top plate

Film simulations change the colour and tone of JPEG and HEIF files; a RAW file can be processed later with a different simulation.

Fujifilm
Card—Single SD/SDHC/SDXC slot; UHS-I and UHS-II, V90

With a single slot, recordings cannot be backed up to two cards at once.

Fujifilm
Rear screen—3-inch tilting touch LCD; about 1.84 million dots

The screen tilts up and down; it does not flip to the side and face forward, so you cannot see framing when filming yourself.

Fujifilm
Video—6.2K 29.97p; 4K 59.94p; Full HD up to 240p; MOV H.265 with 24-bit/48 kHz PCM audio

Fujifilm lists about 45 minutes of continuous recording in 6.2K and 4K with face detection off; this may vary with temperature.

Fujifilm
USB—USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1)

USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 transfers up to 10 Gbit/s; it is used for file transfer and tethered shooting.

Fujifilm
HDMI—Micro HDMI (Type D)

Micro HDMI is a small, fragile connector; securing the cable is advisable when connecting an external recorder.

Fujifilm
Flash—Pop-up built-in flash; TTL-compatible hot shoe

The built-in flash can trigger external flashes in commander mode.

Fujifilm
In the box—NP-W126S battery, USB cable, headphone adapter, shoulder strap, body cap

No separate charger is listed; the battery charges in the camera over USB.

Fujifilm
Operating conditions—0–40 °C; 10–80% humidity (non-condensing)

Fujifilm does not list weather resistance for the body.
