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.
A7C II — Full-Frame Hybrid: Full-frame AI autofocus in the most compact body available — the best camera under £1,500 for hybrid shooters.
