The short version

The Fujifilm X-H2S and Fujifilm X-T4 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-H and the X-T. The X-H2S is the newer of the two, arriving in 2022. At launch the X-H2S was 2,499 USD and the X-T4 1,699 USD, making the X-T4 the more affordable of the two.

On paper the X-H2S is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 40 fps continuous shooting, AI subject-detection AF, and 6K/30p video, with a few smaller wins on top of that.

The X-T4 isn't far behind. It hits back with a lighter 607g body.

So which one? If you want 40 fps continuous shooting, get the X-H2S. If a lighter 607g body is closer to what you actually need, the X-T4 is the smarter buy. And the X-T4 costs less — 1,699 USD at launch.
