The Fujifilm XH-1, the latest incarnation in the popular X-series, isn't the successor to the popular X-T2 but it is the new X-series flagship. That said, the XH-1 is a somewhat confusing mirrorless beast.

Great autofocus; Solid; tough build; Great photos in JPEG; Very good touchscreen LCD; Good operating system; Top LCD screen

Too big and heavy for a mirrorless camera; Doesn't sit well in the hand; Pricey (1): For what it offers; the XH-1 is just a little too expensive; Pricey (2): Needs the Vertical Power Booster Grip + extra batteries; Rendering of RAW photos at higher ISOs is questionable; The APS-C X-Trans CMOS III...

FujiFilm X-H1 review: The FujiFilm X-H1 is not ordinary camera, it is a flagship mirrorless camera which tries to show what can be achieved in the realm of digital photography.

Brilliant, love this camera

The X-H1 is Fujifilm's most powerful and most refined camera yet. It is clearly the result of thoughtful work, a result of taking the time to get things right - at least, most things. But the X-H1 is hitting the market at the same time as many other impressive cameras.

Impressively well designed and built; 5-axis in-body image stabilization; Cinema 4K video at 200Mbps; 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder; Eterna film simulation

Face detection AF can be unreliable; Some audio bugs using external microphones

The Fujifilm X-H1 is a great camera for shooting videos thanks to its variety of resolutions, frame rates, bit rates, film simulations, and aspect ratios, not to mention 5-axis IBIS and features like F-Log.

Intended and designed for videographers and filmmakers, the X-H1 can shoot 4K video and offers a number of shooting modes, aspect ratios, and slow motion options; It also has the 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), the cinematic Eterna film simulation, and an F-Log Gamma option for wider...

One of the biggest letdowns we found in the X-H1 is its autofocus; It's not that it's bad, but for the price, we expected more; In fact, shooting a moving subject at AF-C almost always yields more than a couple of unfocused shots.

The X-H1 is Fujifilm's most technically advanced mirrorless camera yet and makes it easier than ever to produce stellar images. The new 5-axis stabilization works very well to reduce blurry shots, and the EVF is simply the best you can find on an APS-C camera.

Great RAW and JPEG image quality Sharp DCI 4K video with little moire or aliasing; Solid weather-resistant build; Good autofocus for both video and photos; 5-axis image stabilization works well for still and video shooting

Big heavy body that Fujifilm fans might not like; Lacks exposure compensation dial; Autofocus doesn't work well outside the phase-detect zone; Limited battery life; Video shooting times limited to 15 minutes; No built-in headphone jack

I have an X-T2 but wanted the X-H1 primarily for the in-body image stabilization (IBIS). Several of my Fujinon lenses do not have OIS (optical image stabilization) and I thought this would be a way to get more hand-held use from those lenses.

The Fujifilm X-H1 takes a proven 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor and fits it on a state-of-the-art 5-axis image-stabilization mechanism. While it falls short of the 5½ stops claimed in specifications, it delivers a solid 2½ stops of improvement over hand-holding any other Fujifilm mirrorless.

Very low image noise up to ISO 3200; Wide dynamic-range; Reliable metering; Natural rendition of image colors; Excellent automatic white-balance; Instant shutter-lag with virtually no blackout; Fluid ultra-sharp EVF; Continuous AF at 14 FPS; Plenty of direct controls; Instant video response,...

Occasional autofocus misses; Limited stabilization; Not Exposure-Priority; Incorrect histogram in Live-View; Complicated Shutter-Speed control; Stacked dials move too easily; Slow shot-to-shot speed; Very short battery-life; Quite bulky; Pricey; Soft aperture detents With all current XF-mount lenses

The Fujifilm X-H1 delivers the same class-leading image quality as the X-T2, but betters its focus system, offering stronger peformance in dim light and when shooting video. You also get Fujifilm's excellent Film Simulation modes for shooting in JPG, and Raw support for photographers who prefer to...

Shoots at 8fps with mechanical shutter and 14fps with electronic shutter; 5-axis sensor stabilization; 24MP APS-C sensor; 200Mbps 4K video; Log video profile; Tilting rear LCD; Dual card slots; Monochrome information LCD; Weather-sealed body

Expensive; Not a true vari-angle LCD; No EV dial; Add-on grip required for top performance; No built-in flash; Omits headphone jack; Video recording chews through batteries

We've recommended the Fujifilm X-T2 as our Editors' Choice in the high-end APS-C mirrorless camera category since it was introduced. Now it has a more premium sibling, the X-H1 ($1,899, body only), which uses the same sensor, but adds in-body stabilization and more serious video features. There are some ergonomic changes, as well including a deeper handgrip and the omission of an EV control dial. The X-H1 carries a $300 premium over the X-T2, and is close in price to the $1,999 full-frame Sony a7 III, which is just as capable in many ways. But if you've decided that the APS-C sensor size is a better fit for you, the X-H1 is the best option in its price bracket, and our Editors' Choice. Design The X-H1 doesn't look much different from the X-T2 at first glance. It's finished in black (we'll have to wait and see if it receives the Graphite Silver special edition treatment that Fujifilm has given to other marquee models), and is just slightly bigger all around, with a noticeably large...

The Fujifilm X-H1 camera adds in-body stabilization to the X series and offers loads of tools for both photographers and videographers.
