Default New Fujifilm X-H1 in da house!

The hot new Fujifilm X-H1 professional-level camera was released on March 1, and I recieved mine last week after selling off my older mirrorless gear. The new X-H1 is intended for hard-core professional use, and has a 25% thicker, 2X stronger, stiffer and more robust body. It's about 5% larger in 2 of 3 dimensions, and 10% thicker at its minimum depth and weighs ~170 grams more than the X-T2.



This graphic shows the strengthening added to the frame.


The body is larger, stiffer and stronger to accomodate Fuji's new In-Body Image Stabilization subsystem, as well as to strengthen the frame to accomodate long, heavy prime telephotos e.g., their forthcoming 200 mm f/2.0 prime telephoto (which will be the equivalent FOV and DOF of the classic 300mm f/2.8 for a 35mm full-frame system).



Here's a 3/4 view of the camera:


Of course, all the photo forum specs geeks have been b*tching about how much larger the X-H1 is than the X-T2, but in reality, the difference in size is not practically significant. Shown here is my Graphite Silver X-T2 next to my X-H1.


Like the X-T2, the X-H1 has a Vertical Power Booster Grip that turns it into a photojournalism BEAST:

How about some pics?

Of course, I had to take it to the race track to try it out. It performed very well and is very responsive.

Chevrons with Cosworth BDA 2-liter motors are always fast at this track. Fuji X-H1 and 50-140 with 1.4X extender





Porsches!

Thanks for posting this. What about mirrorless compelled you to invest in them?

The Fuji APS-C system is considerably lighter and more compact than their Canikon counterparts. The EVFs are superb nowadays and let you preview your exposure both in color, film slmulations, or black and white before you take the photo. I also love the superb optical quality of Fuji's lenses, photographic image quality, rendering of skin tones and colors, dynamic range and high ISO noise performance. Their analog-style controls (like film cameras of old) make them a fast, easy and a joy to use.
