The difference between the X-H2 and the X-T5 is only in the controls, and the H2 has a slightly better viewfinder. For telephoto lenses, the larger X-H2 is probably a better choice. Personally, I wouldn’t choose Fujifilm for photographing animals or birds. The best option for wildlife is the OM-1 Mark II.
No, the X-T5 also has a much smaller buffer and longer clear times due to the card setup.
That is a downside for people who might push the abilities of burst mode for things like wildlife and sport. On the other hand, I’ve used mine successfully for bird photography. (I’m not so into relying on burst mode for that, at least for some subjects.)
As to lens size and body size, I no longer subscribe to the “must use big camera with large lenses” school of thought. I use the XT5 with the 100-400 and it is no problem at all. (With big lenses we don’t really support things by holding the camera as much as we support the lens anyway.)
As in all things, each option has its pluses and minuses. The important thing is aligning individual needs with those.
Because I tend to shoot my XT5 in aperture priority mode (getting the shutter speed I need by adjusting aperture, ISO, and EC) I have not noticed the “issue” of having only whole stop adjustments on the shutter speed dial. However, the camera does adjust shutter speed in smaller-than-whole-stop increments.
Your photos on Flickr using that camera really look great.
