Brilliant, love this camera

One word, IBIS - it's truly effective and alone worth upgrading to from the XT2. Yes, it's heavier but the new grip makes the added weight a non-factor.

"Ultimately, Fuji has here crafted a wonderful all-rounder that masters almost any situation and could easily last you for years."

I bought the X-H1 with the vertical grip as an upgrade from my X-Pro2. The body is slightly heavier - but not noticeably so - yet still relatively compact, despite the deeper handgrip.

Durable; Firmware updates that add features; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls; Weather-resistant

Hair trigger shutter release needs practice

I love the X-H1! I realize that it may not be viewed as perfect by some people with regards to an issue such as it's size but in my view, it is very close to perfect. I am comparing this to the X-T2 below and not other brands of cameras so I am not including details of the Fuji line of cameras such...

Until now, the Fujifilm X-series has boasted two flagship models, the hybrid rangefinder X-Pro 2 and the DSLR-styled X-T2 . Now, however, they find themselves playing second fiddle to the X-H1 which takes its rightful place at the top of the range.

Good handling; Practical controls; Top-level performance

Large and heavy body; Not the best autofocus

In-body image stabilisation is far from a new thing, so perhaps we shouldn’t give Fuji too much credit for including it here. Then again, what may be a small step for most mirrorless cameras represents a giant leap for the X-Series. Without it, the X-T2 was our favourite premium compact system camera; with it, the X-H1 is, well, even better than that. The other upgrades here, from the touchscreen to the higher-res viewfinder to the extra video capabilities, are all worth having, if not exactly game-changing. But the IBIS is exactly that. Yes, other cameras might already have it, but they don’t also have Fuji’s mastery of colour and autofocus to go with it. OK, so the payoff for the new tech is a bigger body, but if you’re the kind of pro or serious amateur who owns several hefty lenses, that won’t bother you. And let’s face it, if you’re a pro you can afford an X-T20 as a smaller back up anyway. Ultimately, Fuji has here crafted a wonderful all-rounder that masters almost any situation and could easily last you for years. Or at least until it releases something even better in 2019.

I must confess, I am a huge fan of the Fuji X-H1. In fact, when compared to all other APS-C cameras out there, I would say the X-H1 has the best balance of image quality, ergonomics and features, rightfully earning its title as the top APS-C mirrorless camera on the market.

There's no question that the X-H1 is Fujifilm's most advanced X Series camera to date, thanks to a range of new and refined features. These include the arrival of IBIS, a brilliant high-resolution EVF, advanced 4K video capture, touchscreen control, and an all-round tougher build.

Fiddly exposure compensation control; Performance hasn't moved on from X-T2; Larger design won't appeal to everyone; Battery performance could be better
