Sony α7C II (ILCE-7CM2) / Fujifilm X-H2S

Sony α7C II (ILCE-7CM2): ILCE-7CM2 body; black or silver. The 28–60 mm kit uses the same body. The α7C R (ILCE-7CR) and the original α7C are separate models.

Fujifilm X-H2S: X-H2S body (2022). The X-H2 with the 40 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor is a separate model; the XF16-80mm lens in the image is sold separately.

Release year20232022
Sensor35 mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS (35.9 × 23.9 mm); about 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for movies

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor; with the circuitry behind the light-sensitive layer it gathers more light in dim conditions.

Sony		23.5 × 15.6 mm (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS 5 HS; 26.16 million effective pixels; ultrasonic sensor cleaning

According to Fujifilm the stacked, back-illuminated design quadruples readout speed, which reduces rolling-shutter skew on moving subjects with the electronic shutter and in video.

Fujifilm
AutofocusFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 627 for movies; EV −4–20; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and aeroplane recognition

Subject recognition finds the chosen type (for example a bird) in the frame and tracks its eye or body; choosing the right subject type in the menu strengthens tracking.

Sony		Intelligent Hybrid AF (contrast + phase detection); phase detection down to −7.0 EV; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle/bike, airplane and train detection

The −7.0 EV figure is with the XF50mmF1.0 attached; the limit changes with slower lenses.

Fujifilm
Image stabilisationSensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 7.0 stops (CIPA)

Sony measures 7.0 stops with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens on pitch and yaw only; the benefit can differ with other lenses and axes.

Sony		5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation, up to 7.0 stops (CIPA); digital stabilisation and IS Boost in video

The 7-stop rating is per CIPA, for pitch/yaw shake only and with the XF35mmF1.4 R lens.

ISO and shutterStills ISO 100–51200 (expandable 50–204800); mechanical shutter 1/4000–30 s, electronic to 1/8000 s; up to 10 fps continuous Sony—
Video4K up to 59.94p, 10-bit 4:2:2 with XAVC HS and XAVC S (up to 200 Mbps); up to 600 Mbps with XAVC S-I

DPReview says 4K 30p is downsampled from a full-width 7K readout, while 4K 60p is recorded in Super 35 (APS-C) mode with a 1.5× crop. 10-bit 4:2:2 reduces banding when grading colour.

Sony		6.2K 3:2 open gate (6240 × 4160) up to 29.97p; DCI 4K/4K up to 120p; Full HD up to 240p; Apple ProRes 422 HQ/422/LT, H.265 (including All-Intra) and H.264; 4:2:2 10-bit

ProRes is only recorded to a CFexpress Type B card. Open gate records the full 3:2 sensor area, so footage can later be cropped for horizontal and vertical formats. The optional FAN-001 cooling fan can be attached for long recordings in high temperatures.

Card slotSingle SD slot, UHS-I/UHS-II compatible

With one slot there is no backup recording to two cards at once. High-bit-rate video needs a fast UHS-II card.

Processor and mount—X-Processor 5; FUJIFILM X mount

Fujifilm says X-Processor 5 is twice as fast as the previous generation and enables deep-learning subject detection.

Fujifilm
Shutter and burst—Mechanical to 1/8000 s, electronic to 1/32000 s; about 40 fps with the electronic shutter, 15 fps mechanical; Pre-shot; flash sync 1/250 s

At 40 fps about 175 compressed RAW frames are recorded; these figures were measured with a CFexpress Type B card. Pre-shot records frames while the shutter is half-pressed.

Fujifilm
Storage media—Dual slots: CFexpress Type B (up to 2 TB) and SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I/UHS-II, V90)

Stills can be saved as JPEG, HEIF (4:2:2 10-bit) and 14-bit RAW.

Fujifilm
Viewfinder and screens—0.5-inch OLED viewfinder, about 5.76 million dots, 100% coverage; 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen LCD, 1.62 million dots; 1.28-inch top information display

The vari-angle screen flips out to the side and rotates, which helps for selfies and vertical video.
