2023 big year for Fuji?

Shameful. Hyperbole much? Not really. If a photographer, individuals seems somewhat pleased with the X-H2S. If a videographer, Meh. Just OK.

One has to ask themselves what was the benefit of a stacked sensor:

1) The stacked sensor can shoot photographs at 40 FPS. Unfortunately, the autofocus algorithm and electromechanical systems can not keep up deliver anywhere near 40 FPS. Seems to me if you what to shoot at that 40 FPS, one is doing lots of culling of photographs to find those that are in focus. 20 FPS will all in focus would be much better.

2) If a videographer, the stacked sensor destroyed 240 FPS on the X-H2S relative to the X-T4. Any ISO over 1600 results in an elongated noise pattern in the highlights that can not be removed with temporal noise reduction in DaVinci Resolve.

3) If a videographer, the stacked sensor at 240 FPS changed the crop factor from 1.29 on the X-T4 to 1.39 on the X-H2S. Why? But sensor read out is supposed to be so much faster!  Why is was it necessary to increase the crop?

Another individual wrote about the X-T3 being maligned a few years after its releases date in 2018. I had an X-T3. I thought it was great camera in its day relative to the competition. But 4 years later with the release the of the X-H2S, the competition has moved far ahead. The X-H2S did not advance much in core functionality with respect to autofocus and IBIS--the IBIS is still jumpy when panning in video.

FujiFilm promised much more with their big talk about computation photography and artificial intelligence and is still yet to deliver. To me, the X-H2S at a minimum is a disappointing release and I still believe it to be shameful.
