Verdictwhich should you buy?
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.
X100VI — Street, Travel & Everyday: The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
