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.
OM-1 Mark II — Wildlife, Birds & Outdoor Sports: OM System's most capable camera — 120fps AF burst, AI subject detection, and IP53 weather sealing make it the best-value pro wildlife camera.
