Fujifilm X-H2 vs X-T5

The X-H2 and X-T5 are closely matched — the right pick comes down to what you shoot.

The short version

The Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T5 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-H and the X-T. Both launched in 2022. At launch the X-H2 was $1,999 and the X-T5 $1,699, making the X-T5 the more affordable of the two.

On paper the X-H2 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 8K/30p video and a 5.76M-dot electronic viewfinder.

The X-T5 isn't far behind. It hits back with 580-shot battery life and a lighter 557 g body.

So which one? If you want 8K/30p video, get the X-H2. If 580-shot battery life is closer to what you actually need, the X-T5 is the smarter buy. And the X-T5 costs less — $1,699 at launch.
