My New Favorite Camera

I've been shooting Canon cameras for over 30 years. In September of 2018 I went to the local camera store here in Austin (Precision) to purchase the newest Canon camera. The store loaned me the camera for an hour or so. I was very disappointed in the new Canon (very slow) camera. I voiced my thoughts to the store owner. He walked me over to the counter and handed me a Fuji X-T3. After pointing out the features, and letting me play with the camera, I was impressed. I was reluctant at first to change brands (I had a huge investment in glass) and having to learn a brand new camera and menus/controls. He sold me the camera and gave me 30 days to bring it back if I changed my mind. Wasn't long before I fell in love with the Fuji camera, more so than any Canon camera I had ever owned. After a year, I decided to upgrade and bought one of the first Fuji X-T4's (wish I had never sold this gem) in Austin. Again, I truly loved this Fuji camera, too. I had this camera for a couple of years and shot many photos before the Fuji rep gave me a Fuji GFX to borrow for a day at a Fuji clinic. Wow, what an amazing camera. I soon bought the new model of the GFX. I feel my photography really jumped up more than one notch as my photos soon became stunning in rich and vivid color. My photos were so good, I began printing the images at 16"x20", something I'd never done before. Yet, there was something I missed in the X-T4 (remember I said I wished I hadn't sole it?) camera. The weight of the GFX was more than I was used to (the lenses are much bigger too). When Fuji announced the X-H2s on May 31st, I went to the store to buy one the next day as a second camera. I received the X-H2s about 6 weeks ago. I took it on a trip for 4 weeks and now this camera is my favorite. I'm taking it everywhere with me and shooting (about 2K images so far) all my pictures with it. The dials and controls are much more similar to the GFX. The camera is lighter to carry and the quality of the pictures is noticeable over the X-T4. Although not up to par with the GFX (and $1500 less expensive), the camera is much more versatile than the GFX. Where the GFX is all manual, the X-H2s has more automation for quick shots. The smaller size than the GFX makes it ideal for travel (not to mention the worry of losing a $7K camera and lenses) and lugging around on the road. The speed of the X-H2s is very noticeable compared to the X-T4. To me, the X-H2s is a step up from the X-T4. The speeds and features (especially video) of the X-H2s are well worth the additional cost. If you're shooting studio portraits, the GFX is the way to go. On the go, in my opinion, the Fuji X-H2s is the best Fuji camera for Pros and Prosumers. If your only consideration is cost, I'd highly recommend the X-T4 for novice to advanced photographers.

I think the most surprising part of your post is a camera store that gives you 30 days to return a camera!  Is that with or without a restocking fee?
