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.
Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.
