I noticed that the raw file for the x-h2 is only 43.6 MB compared to the lower MP x-h2s (55.6) and x-t3 (55.9). Any idea why?

The X-H2 shot was likely in Lossless Compressed RAW

Almost certainly correct - the uncompressed raws are the same size as from other X series cameras i.e. 16 bits per pixel plus the jpeg and metadata (around 85MB)

I'm sure you're right, but with 40mp wouldn't the uncompressed raw files be much larger than from other x series cameras? (other than the x-t5)

Yes - apologies - clumsy wording - I meant you calculate the size by the same method

Or did you mean that they were the same size once one takes into account the larger number of pixels?
