The Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-H and the X-T. The X-H2 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2022. At launch the X-H2 was 1,999 USD and the X-T4 1,699 USD, making the X-T4 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, AI subject-detection AF, and 8K/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 40.2 MP of resolution, get the X-H2. 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.

Who should buy the X-H2 or X-T4?
Buy the X-H2 if…
Pick the X-H2 if 40.2 MP of resolution, AI subject-detection AF matters to you. It is the better fit for buyers who already lean toward X-H handling. Read the full X-H2 review for the use-case-specific pros and cons.
Buy the X-T4 if…
Pick the X-T4 if a lighter 607g body matters to you. It also launched cheaper at 1,699 USD. It is the better fit for buyers who already lean toward X-T handling. Read the full X-T4 review for the use-case-specific pros and cons.
The X-H2 pairs the 40.2 MP X-Trans V sensor with X-Processor 5; the X-T4 runs 26.1 MP X-Trans IV with X-Processor 4. Beyond the pixel count, the X-H2 gets AI subject detection — animals, birds, vehicles, all found without you telling the camera what to look for — while the X-T4 detects faces and eyes. The X-H2 also has a pixel-shift mode that stacks to 160 MP composites for static subjects on a tripod, which is a niche feature until the day you need it.
Video
8K/30 with F-Log2 on the X-H2 against 4K/60 with F-Log on the X-T4, and the X-H2 takes CFexpress Type B in its first slot to feed the higher bitrates. If you are cutting in 4K and want crop room, or delivering anything above 4K, the X-H2 is the only one of the two in that conversation. The X-T4's fully articulating screen is still the better one for filming yourself.
Body and handling
The X-H2 is a 660g body with a deep grip, a top status LCD, a 5.76M-dot viewfinder, and PASM-style controls. The X-T4 is 607g with the classic Fuji dials and a 3.69M-dot finder. Both are weather-sealed, both run the NP-W235 battery (540 shots on the X-H2, 500 on the X-T4), and both shoot 15 fps mechanically. Which layout you prefer is not a small thing — people who love Fuji dials tend to dislike the X-H2's top plate on sight.
Which one to buy
The X-T4 is discontinued and now a used buy at well under its 1,699 USD launch price, and it remains a strong stills camera with good video. The X-H2 launched at 1,999 USD, is still current, and is the one to buy if you want resolution, 8K, the better viewfinder, or the grip. For a stills shooter on a budget who likes dials, the X-T4 is still the smarter money.
