The short version
The Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-H1 are both Fujifilm X-H bodies. The X-H2 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2022. At launch the X-H2 was 1,999 USD and the X-H1 1,899 USD, making the X-H1 the more affordable of the two.
On paper the X-H2 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 40.2 MP of resolution, 15 fps continuous shooting, and AI subject-detection AF, with a few smaller wins on top of that.
The X-H1 can't match those numbers. What it has going for it is a lower price, a smaller footprint, or just being the body you'd rather carry.
So which one? If you want 40.2 MP of resolution, get the X-H2. If the simpler, cheaper option is closer to what you actually need, the X-H1 is the smarter buy. And the X-H1 costs less — 1,899 USD at launch.

Where the X-H1 wins
