Fujifilm X-H2S Has Not Been Discontinued

There has been some chatter recently that the Fujifilm X-H2S might be nearing the end of its life, but Fujifilm says that is not the case. The speculation started after Fuji Rumors noticed the camera disappearing from a few retailers. At the same time, B&H lists the X-H2S as “temporarily out of stock,” which can happen for all kinds of routine reasons. Other major retailers, like Adorama and Amazon, still have the camera available.

As the story spread, it started popping up in other corners of the photo world, including Japanese site Asobinet, which questioned whether these changes could hint at a future X-H3S. To clear things up, Fujifilm North America was asked directly about the situation, and their response was pretty straightforward, the X-H2S is still an active and popular model in the X Series lineup. In other words, despite the noise, Fujifilm has not signalled any change in the camera’s status.

That said, the X-H2S is no longer new. It was announced back in May 2022 and introduced Fujifilm’s stacked 26-megapixel APS-C sensor, which still makes it the fastest and most capable X Series body, particularly for video with features like 6.2K 10-bit 4:2:2 recording. It is natural for photographers and hybrid shooters to wonder what comes next, especially as competitors push newer hardware.
