Just wanted to sing the Fuji X-H2S praises
10

I've been a Fuji user for quite some time. Started with the XT2 (which I loved), jumped to the XT4 (which I didn't enjoy) and now the X-H2s.

I bought the X-H2s mainly because I really disliked my XT4. For some reason I was missing lots of shots (fast moving kid, students at the school I work at etc) so I bought the X-H2s for the speed.

This past week I spent 5 days shooting a basketball tournament at the school I work at and I was just so happy with how well it worked in combo with my 90mm f2. I loved the photos and I also found I shot a bit of video for some B-roll and it all turned out beautifully.

X-H2s is definitely worth considering if you need speed for action, kids or dogs.

Just wanted to throw that out there because often these boards are filled with negativity!

Fuji really nailed it with the X-h2s, at least in my experience.

A lot of people agree with you.  I'm one of them.

I agree with you. I love everything about this camera, the auto focus speed, the grip, the articulating screen, the long battery life, and the stacked sensor. IMHO it is the best for the price!

Totally agree, the X-H2S is a cracking bit of kit.

I had the same Pipeline of X-T2 -> X-T4 and felt similar about it. Was a great camera but felt a little lackluster. The X-H2 gives me the professional feeling and satisfies my love for Fuji. I have the XF 35 F1.4 and XF 16-80 F4 and the Camera feels stellar, screens are stellar.

Fuji absolutely crushed it

Besides not having a dog to capture on film to replace my Fuji X-T3 with Fuji X-H2S after careful consideration when the (price) dust settles. For sure keeping my classic Fuji X-T2. Having looked at CANON LUMIX OM probably sticking with Fuji APS-C as the best option. Avoiding X-T4 at 1.800 euros and compact Fuji X-T5 with 2.000 euros price.
