Mirrorless Flagship Comparison: Fujifilm X-H2S vs Fujifilm X-T4 vs Sony A1 vs Canon R3 vs Nikon Z9 vs Olympus OM-D E-M1X

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 31, 2022


Fujifilm just launched a new flagship camera that is quite compact and capable and it compares pretty well with the Sony A1 and a9II so I thought it would be interesting to put together a comparison of the big 4’s top of the line cameras at this time. If size is a priority the Sony A1 is almost the same size as the Fujifilm X-H2S and they both are dwarfed by the Canon R3 and Nikon Z9. You can manipulate the cameras more at Camerasize.com if you like.

There is also a detailed spec comparison below from FujiAddict.com if you want to see how the new camera stacks up. The Fujifilm X-H2S compares well to the Sony A1, but the Fujifilm X-H2 will likely compare better since it will launch with a 40MP sensor later this year. Not a lot is known about the X-H2’s specs, but the X-H2S looks like it was designed to compete with the Sony a9II and Sony A1.

Venus Optics announces a Periscope version of the Revolutionary Probe lens: Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe
Anhui China, 30 May 2022 – Venus Optics is no stranger to creating unique yet practical lenses. The manufacturer once impressed the world with its innovative 24mm Probe lens. A lens that has a wide-angle 2X magnification, bug-eye perspective and a waterproof barrel. Today, they are proud to present another weirdest but extremely practical lens – The NEW Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe. This full-frame powerhouse inherits most of the renowned Laowa Probe lens characteristics but with a twist. It now comes with a 90° periscope-like front tip for creating formerly impossible shots and makes setups more flexible. The lens is also able to do 360° helix rotation to create one-of-a-kind motions.  Furthermore, it has a 1/4″ thread at the front for attaching accessories such as extra lighting or magic arms. It comes with Arri PL, Canon EF, Canon R, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E and L mount.

The Periprobe lens will make its US debut in the Laowa booth in Cinegear show during 9-11 June (Booth#324), together with the Laowa Nanomorph lenses.

Features

  • 360° rotation
  • 0° & 90° interchangeable lens front
  • Extra threaded tip (1/4)
  • Bug-eye perspective
  • 2x magnification
  • Deep depth of field
  • Long & tubular lens barrel
  • Waterproof barrel
  • LED ring lite

More usages can be realised
