GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Sports, Wildlife & Professional Video — X-H2S (2022): The fastest Fujifilm ever made — 40fps, 4K/120p, and subject-detection AF that redefines what APS-C can do for action photography.
Street & Travel — X100S (2013): The X100S was the moment the X100 series became legendary. Dramatically faster phase-detect AF, X-Trans II image quality, Fujifilm's film simulations, and the iconic hybrid viewfinder in a pocketable fixed-lens body — the blueprint every subsequent X100 has built on. A brilliant used-market buy for street and travel photographers who want the Fujifilm experience at an accessible price.
