I always like to go by the usability, the feel, the design, the size, the weight, the build quality and the speed. In fact, these days I am even more chill and relaxed in my reviews and I try to tell you guys about the qualities of a camera that I feel should matter more than tech specs and lab shots alone. I do not review cameras like most others do. You guys know I am a passionate kind of guy. OOC JPEG of my Son Brandon using the Chrome preset. So here is my look at the Fuji XH1, with some words, photos and comparisons. This model feels, looks and performs much like a DSLR, and it’s almost as big as some, but it is mirrorless of course, has a 24MP APS-C Xtrans variety sensor and from what I see, it is the nicest Fuji sensor I have ever experienced. This one no longer gets super mushy (IQ) in very low light. This Fuji, no longer feels “Hollow” to me as some Fuji models do. So no, I do not hate Fuji, I just wanted to see them make a camera like this, sort of, and they did it. Out of Camera color and I was using the Classic Chrome preset. But that out of camera color is what draws many to the Fuji line… So for Fuji to even get close is pretty amazing. Also, Fuji ISO performance has improved and is now competing neck and neck with Sony, who for me, has been the king of low light sensors for quite a while now. While not quite up there in speed as the Sony it is close. I also wanted a beefier feeling body and now here it is!ĭoes this XH1 compete with a Sony full frame model? Yes indeed it can and does, and it does so with nicer out of camera color. I have been waiting for a Fuji that could match a Sony for speed, ISO and Video. I was lukewarm on the X-Pro 1 and 2 and did not mess around much with the smaller models. While I have not “loved” Fuji for a while, I feel that they have been making strong progress with their camera line. I have seen a myth or two about me and Fuji in internet land more than once and to be clear, NO I DO NOT and never have “hated” Fuji. Only showing a size comparison here between the APS-C Fuji XH1 with 16-55 f/2.8 lens next to the full frame Sony A7RIII and 24-70 G Master f/2.8. Yes I also have a Leica M10 and Hasselblad X1D with the M taking over my daily duties but I will admit, this Fuji is something. I will have a bit more on this camera in a follow up post (video use, and a video review) so stay tuned for that. Lately I have been shooting with Sony (A7RIII, A9, etc) and for mostly the last two years my personal every day rig was a Sony full frame of some variety. The soft touch shutter may be the nicest shutter I have ever experienced. This is a different kind of Fuji, and not only has Fuji truly upgraded this camera in the build quality department, they also did so in MANY areas such as speed, video and EVF. I am glad I did not pass as every day that I spend with this camera and the 16-55 f/2.8 Zoom is another day I am enjoying it more. Hello guys! It’s been a while since I had a new camera in hand to full review and evaluate but as I said in my last couple of posts, I’m back and refreshed and ready to take a look at this new Fuji XH1, which I almost passed checking out due to the larger size and heft for being APS-C. Fuji takes it to the next level.Īll images here shot with the Fuji XH1 and 16-55 f/2.8 Lens.
