Verdictwhich should you buy?
X-H1 — Landscape & Travel: The X-H1 was Fujifilm's first IBIS-equipped camera and remains the most ergonomic X-mount body ever made. Its deep grip and build quality are class-leading. The 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor delivers outstanding image quality. Video spec is slightly dated but F-Log recording is supported. An excellent used-market buy for photographers who want Fujifilm's film simulations with body-based stabilisation at a fraction of current prices.
X-H2 — High-Res Stills & Landscape: Fujifilm's highest-resolution X-mount body — 40MP, 8K video, weather sealing, and 7-stop IBIS for serious photographers.
