X-H2S — Sports, Wildlife & Professional Video: The fastest Fujifilm ever made — 40fps, 4K/120p, and subject-detection AF that redefines what APS-C can do for action photography.

X-T5 — Portraits & Landscape: Fujifilm's finest stills camera — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, and the most distinctive colour rendering available.
