Best Fujifilm Cameras

Best for

Street, travel, documentary work and photographers who prefer direct controls

Skip it if

Video is your main job or you need the fastest continuous shooting

My verdict

This is the Fuji body I would start with when photography comes first.

The X-T5 keeps the experience focused on making photographs. Its compact body and traditional controls suit photographers who want to react quickly without building a large kit around the camera.

Best for

Video, fast action, sports and photographers who need one hybrid body

Skip it if

You mainly shoot still subjects and want the smallest Fuji setup

My verdict

Choose the X-H2S when speed and video matter as much as still photography.

The X-H2S is the performance choice in this group. It makes the most sense for photographers who also deliver video or regularly photograph subjects that move quickly.

Best for

Travel, everyday stills and video without the cost of an action-focused body

Skip it if

You need weather resistance, two card slots or the fast sensor readout of the X-H2S

My verdict

The sensible hybrid alternative when sports speed is not a requirement.

The X-S20 combines a 26.1MP APS-C sensor, in-body stabilisation and 6.2K open-gate recording in a smaller body. Its single card slot and slower readout make it a different proposition from the X-H2S, but many everyday hybrid users will not need the larger camera.

Best for

Portraits, landscapes and commercial stills that benefit from 102MP files

Skip it if

You need the video formats, higher-resolution viewfinder or faster workflow of the GFX100 II

My verdict

Start here for medium-format stills before paying for the GFX100 II.

The GFX100S II delivers 102MP large-format files, in-body stabilisation and a body weighing approximately 883g with battery and card. The GFX100 II adds a faster sensor and more extensive video capabilities; resolution alone is not the reason to choose the more expensive body.

Best for

Commercial work that needs 102MP stills, a faster medium-format workflow and advanced video

Skip it if

You want a light street camera or do not need very large files

My verdict

This is a specialist tool, not the sensible default Fuji camera.

The GFX100 II combines a 102MP large-format sensor with a faster readout, a high-resolution viewfinder and 8K video. Compare it with the lighter GFX100S II for still photography: both deliver 102MP, so the extra cost needs to buy workflow or video features you will use.
