Read the Optics ComparisonOpticsThe X-T30 II is the stronger choice for fast action, shooting at up to 30 frames per second where the R100 manages 6.5. That burst rate gives you far better odds on a bird taking off or a striker connecting with the ball. Its 26 MP sensor also gives slightly more room to crop distant subjects than the R100's 24 MP. The R100 counters with 3975 autofocus positions against 425 on the X-T30 II, far more selectable points for tracking off-centre subjects. Each camera uses its own lens mount, Canon RF on the R100 and Fujifilm X on the X-T30 II, so your lens choices follow the body. Neither offers in-body stabilisation, and both share the same 1/4000 second maximum shutter speed. | ||

Read: Verdict
Verdict
Buy the Fujifilm X-T30 II if you photograph moving subjects, because its 30 fps burst, 120 fps video ceiling and touchscreen make it the stronger tool for sports, wildlife and slow-motion work. Choose the Canon EOS R100 for its lighter body, far more autofocus positions and access to Canon RF lenses. Both share the APS-C format, 4K recording and a flip-out screen, so the choice comes down to burst speed and touch handling against weight and lens system.
