GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape & Travel — X-H1 (2018): 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.
Street, Landscape, Portrait & Documentary — X-T2 (2016): The X-T2 put Fujifilm on the map as a serious system — first X-T with 4K, dual SD, weather sealing, and fast AF that won over photographers worldwide.
