Fujifilm X-H2S vs X-T30 II: what actually changes
What changes for your kit, what stays the same, and the two drawn to one scale. From Fujifilm's published specifications.
What changes
- In-body stabilisation: only the X-H2S has it, so every lens is steadied there, including unstabilised primes.
- Weight: the X-H2S weighs 282 g more (660 g against 378 g with battery and card).
- Screen: vari-angle on the X-H2S, tilting on the X-T30 II.
- Cards: 2 UHS-II slots on the X-H2S, 1 UHS-I on the X-T30 II.
- Batteries differ: NP-W235 and NP-W126S (about 580 and 390 shots); spares do not swap.
The same on both
- Same Fujifilm X mount: every one of the 68 lenses fits both.
- Similar resolution: 26.2 and 26.1 MP.

Choose by what matters to you
- The X-H2S if you want every lens stabilised, or you want a backup card slot, or you shoot action in bursts, or you record video with sound, or you shoot in rain or dust, or you want more shots per charge, or you film yourself or shoot from odd angles.
- The X-T30 II if weight matters most.
The lenses each one takes
Both take the same 68 lenses on the Fujifilm X mount, so a lens bought for one moves to the other. The X-H2S is usually sold with the Fujifilm XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR; the X-T30 II with the Fujifilm XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS.
