    I think the X-H1 actually has the x-trans iii sensor, but anyway, thank you for the good comparison. For me personally, I'm fine with my X-H1 and plan to use it for years to come.

    There is no problem with the second card slot, I bought a 256 GB recommended card on sale for the same price as a good SD card. I had the X-H1 and enjoyed it, sold it to my brother. I upgraded to the X-T4 and it was measurably better than the H1 in autofocus. Sold the T4 for the X-H2S, UNREAL upgrade to the autofocus from the T4. This makes a huge difference in keepers for photography. When I look at the older pictures I shot from previous X-Trans cameras a lot are ever so slightly off focus (not enough to ruin the shot), 99% of the X2S shots are perfectly focused. I like ALL of the Fuji cameras, but operating the X-H2S is like using a cheat code. LOVE IT!

    I bought the XH1 with battery grip a couple years ago and love it. Haven’t had time to shoot it much due to work, but I will only buy another Fuji if IBIS is part of Fuji camera. The XH2 isn’t compelling enough for me to upgrade

    The clunking noise that was mentioned in the x-h1 is totally normal and is related to the image stabilization mechanism. Nothing to worry about. I love my xh1 and was disappointed to see Fuji eliminate the multiple control dials for a PASM dial. There are great deals on the xh1 and for the difference in upgrade price you can buy some really nice glass and in my opinion a better investment.

    I think they want to separate the X-T and X-H line with that PASM design choice. I think they want people who prefer the old-school design to buy X-T products and people who just want to get jobs done to buy X-H products. So, aesthetics vs. practicality. Just my thought since the X-T5 is out now.

    Good comparison and great samples. But a quick correction, the X-H1 (X-T2) have the X-Trans III sensor (not 2). But I'm so glad to hear you mention the problem with the 2nd card slot on the X-H2(s)! I mentioned that on my "why I'm not upgrading to the X-H2s" video.

    Great comparison. I used to own the X-H1 and sold it for a LUMIX S5. Now that the X-H2 is out, I'm seriously considering selling my S5 and replacing it with the X-H2. I'm a photographer, so I don't really care about the video capabilities of any camera. Don't get me wrong, the S5 is a solid camera but having L-mount lenses is a pain because I can't use them on any other camera. 60% of my lenses are M mount and with adapters, it's easy to use them all on my Leica, Fujifilm, and LUMIX cameras. The only problem I see from a photography standpoint with the X-H2/2s is it not having two SD slots. I see the advantage for CF Express if you're shooting video but not for photography. I might have to take another look at the X-T4 because of it. I do miss my X-H1 though. Solid camera for photography.

    @@tazsmith this is the problem for photographers, too many cameras to choose from. Too many choices leaves one with analysis paralysis. That said, I’m in no rush to purchase a new camera and the X-T3 paired with my X-Pro3 can still get the job done with my existing lenses. Carrying around additional batteries has never been an issue for me. I’m more concerned with what the camera can do for the job I’m performing. If I by the X-T4 then I have to invest in yet another battery type. I have too many different camera batteries as it is. So if I decide to purchase another camera it will more than likely be the X-T3 over the X-T4 unless when the X-Pro4 is announced it compels me to buy it. I’m sure it will have the same batter as the X-T4 and the X-H2/2s cameras.

    Since you have the X-T20 (that was my first Fuji) get the X-T2 as long as you are comfortable using the T-20. If it feels too small then consider the X-H1. The bigger grip is MUCH nicer for large hands.
