I love my x-t30ii and it's usually my go-to for travel. Recently though, I bought the xh2s for event photography. It's almost double the weight of the x-t30ii and now that I'm about to embark on a short trip to the beach, I'm wondering which camera to bring.

XH2s while heavier is more comfortable to hold...at least for me. I have the XE3 but I prefer using the XH2s..it has IBIS, better grip & better AF, EVF...basically everything is just better!

Caveats: I am NOT certain I'll encounter large birds in a matter of 4-5 days, but usually I at least come across one or two. IF I am lucky, possibly more, including birds in flight though my jam is more stationary birds.

I'm certain I will shoot landscapes and street shots. Regardless of which body I bring, I have not yet invested into anything over 300mm so the 70-300 will likely be on board, plus a 35mm f/2 and the 18-55 kit lens for ibis and versatility.

Any thoughts on which way to go? I leave on Wednesday the 8th, so need to decide by tomorrow night. Thank you!

70-300 will balance well on XH2s while 35 & 18-55 will be great for street/landscape.

If overall weight is not a big issue, you could take both bodies and leave one at the accomodation etc...?
