The short version
The Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-H1 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-T and the X-H. Both launched in 2018. At launch the X-T3 was 1,499 USD and the X-H1 1,899 USD, making the X-T3 the more affordable of the two.
On paper the X-T3 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 26.1 MP of resolution, 11 fps continuous shooting, and face/eye-detection AF, with a few smaller wins on top of that.
The X-H1 isn't far behind. It hits back with 5.5-stop in-body stabilization.
