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.

BF — Photographers Who Want To Strip Back Every Distraction: The most radical camera in years — no dials, no buttons, just a flat aluminium body and total creative minimalism.
