Sony AF lenses some of the best like 135mm f1,8 GM. Recent Fuji X-H2S firmware upgrade catching-up with Sony Alpha. Fuji X-H2S the price is right. The criteria in this situation being selection of lenses and usage such as action photography. Important not to change camera systems building on what owned. Temptation to dash over to Canon R3 or Lumix S5II must be kept under control and remain out of the question to preserve ones bank account.

I think the X-H2S is priced really well for a stacked sensor APS-C camera and its performance.

I wouldn't have added Sony to my kit if Fuji had comparable AF and tracking back when I picked up the A9II for BIF and other wildlife.

Another draw of the Sony system was the 200-600.  It's a really nice lens for under $2K.

I love the X-T5 for use with the XF primes like the 18 2 ,35 1.4 and the 56 1.2

The CAF of the Fuji system still has some catching up to do and the tele lens range is definitely not competitive with the Sony options yet.  I really hope Fuji makes a fast tele prime longer than the 200.

C'mon Fuji - how about a 400 2.8?  :). That along with a stacked sensor body with real controls would be irresistible.  I would trade up the X-T5 in a minute for that.
