The verdict is not out yet on the Fujifilm X-H2 I purchased a couple of weeks ago. It has taken me a few days getting use to the change compared to my X-T4. I'm getting there. I spent some time in the backyard today testing the Subject Detect feature built into the camera. I had configured one of the Custom Settings C1 for Bird detection. It appears to work fairly well using single point focus. It picks up the subject quite quickly and looks for an eye to lock on to. Even though I had it programmed for birds it will still search for an eye as you can see with the squirrel and rabbit. Photos shot with the Fujifilm 100-400mm lens, ISO from 800 - 6400 (rabbit). These cameras just keep getting better! My next test will be birds in flight.

Nice set. Looks good. Bet that eye detect will pick up your keepers percentage in the tight crowded spots like shown here. Hope you get great results with the in-flight.

I hope so. Practice, practice and more practice. It does a good job of detecting a bird when it’s hiding behind a bunch of branches, so in that case I’m hoping my keeper rate increases.

You make a great argument for using Fuji for wildlife photography… these are excellent.
