This section is for the again excellent shutter release

You can also switch to the fully electronic shutter release as was also possible with the X-T2, but the mechanical shutter is now so quiet that it probably is not even necessary except under highly specific settings

If you want a complete quiet shutter you must be in "electronic shutter" only

And, with that super sensitive shutter release and extremely quiet mechanical shutter petal system, it’s all the more fun and discreet to shoot with

The shutter is very quiet and smooth and the new shutter release button is so much lighter than the XT2's.

I find myself glancing at the top screen a lot just to reassure me that the settings are what I want just before I put my eye up to the viewfinder.

Losing the exposure dial for the quick view screen has been the controversial topic with this model, but personally, I like the screen and find it more useful than having a dedicated EV dial.

As I’ve been shooting, I have concluded that the tradeoff of relocating the EV dial to allow for the top LCD screen is entirely justified due to the great utility of that top screen

I couldn't really see the small fully articulating screen on a Canon 80D I

And, with that super sensitive shutter release and extremely quiet mechanical shutter petal system, it’s all the more fun and discreet to shoot with

In the past with the X-T2, I have used a “soft” trigger release button screwed into the shutter release with great success (see it at Lensmate Bird Soft Release Button - Blue)

Well, with what is now an almost irritating consistency (I speak facetiously, of course), the release of the X-H1 has allowed Fuji to yet hit ANOTHER home run

the few hundred dollars extra you pay over the X-T2 is well

The X-T2 is great, but with a few caveats that were solved with this model

The top-plate display ("sub-LCD"), something I was ambivalent about, is implemented extremely well and turns out to be quite useful

It’s an attractively designed display, but it remains to be seen how resistant it is to scratching (I’ll be covering mine with the newly released Expert Shield Screen Protector for FujiFilm X-H1 (w/top LCD)

so I am not including detais of the Fuji line of cameras such as the amazing lenses and wonderful color straight out of the camera.

Results thus far: Over the past few weeks, I’ve used the X-H1 in several national parks, even had to shot in the rain (the weather-sealing helps), and have been very pleased with the results, especially with Fuji’s great color and familiar film simulation options

I'm primarily a stills guy, and I love the combination of the incredible Fuji color science and the new IBIS.

The IBIS is outstanding and this feature alone has justified the purchase for me.*On1 Photo Raw 2018 does offer a raw converter for the X-H1, but I have found myself using more out of camera jpegs using FujiFilm's excellent color profiles

The color renderings straight from the camera are hard to believe

Now even the non-OIS prime lenses have full 5 stop shake

The X-T2 remains a fantastic camera, capable of capturing astounding photos when used in conjunction with some of the outstanding Fujinon lenses (take your pick!

It may be a bit heavier than the X-T2 but it is still much lighter than what my Nikon was when you take in the lens weight.+ All the usual bonuses of the X-T2, like the awesome pictures straight out of the camera, wonderful controls, amazing lenses, etc

Buy the X-H1, pair it with great lenses, and don't look back.

Not that much heavier than the X-T2++ Not TOO much more expensive than the X-T2, considering

the few hundred dollars extra you pay over the X-T2 is well

I have been using an X-T2 for the past year or so and have loved it

If you have long fingers or big hands, the X-T2 could often feel cramped, and the top mounted shutter was in an unnatural position.

I had bought a Gariz leather case that had a better grip than the stock XT2 and also a L-frame with grip that did as

It’s solid, built like a tank, has great grip, is comfortable to use, and of course takes beautiful photos

I wondered and was concerned, that the added 100g or so of weight beyond the X-T2 on the X-H1 would bother me, that the somewhat unattractive physical appearance of the camera would irritate me, and that I would greatly miss the mechanical EV knob of the X-T2, a knob I frequently used

As I said the Fuji OIS lenses did a better job than the Sony IBIS but there are not any Fuji prime lenses, other than the macro 80, that have OIS and one of their best lens - the XF 16-55 2.8 - does not have it either both of which were a huge pain for me as I could only use them at 1/125 or above.

There are several good videos on Fuji's website that describe the lengths they went

That said, it’s great to know that my camera also now takes great video at 4K resolution …

I am planning on making a series of videos documenting the process of creating a restored classic car from a lump of rust so video is important to me but not important enough to justify buying a dedicated video camera at $7,000 plus lenses.

Until Fuji reinvents the X-H1 with the next version of the X-Trans sensor (already rumored for the X-T3)--and hopefully not too soon for the pocketbook--this one is a keeper for serious landscape and architectural shooting and has the option for great video as well

Yes, Fuji will have firmware updates and everyone will praise them for what they should've done in the first place which is given us a well made product from the start

But size does matter, so when even the X-H1 and 16-55 are too large and heavy for more discreet street, or light travel photography, I prefer the smaller Fuji X-E3 paired with the much maligned, but highly useable 18 mm F2.0, or the 23 F2.0
