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.
A7 V — Portrait, Wedding, Travel, Video: The definitive full-frame mirrorless. Hard to argue for anything else at this price.
