Fujifilm X-H1 Review
You probably all know at this time, that Chris and Jordan have left TheCameraStoreTV and are now part of the DPReview team.
They now released their Fujifilm X-H1 review at the dpreivew youtube channel, “the best mismarketed camera out there” according to Chris.
Here are some highlights:
FujiRumors is everywhere: Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter
STILLS
- large professional looking body, but lighter than DSLR’s
- Fujifilm gives us lots of different body choices (X-Pro2, X-T20, X-T2, X-E3 etc…)
- very weather sealed
- one of the best EVF’s they have ever used. Blows away the X-T2 viewfinder
- not great battery life
- in very low light with critical conditions, AF is doable, but not perfect (50% shots in focus)
- touch AF is laggy, better use the joystick
- eye AF not as good as Sony
- it is important to set the right AF custom mode to make the best out of the AF system
- Handles flare better than older cameras
- Chris loves the quiet mechanical shutter
VIDEO
- Great hybrid camera
- Eterna is great for video, Jordan’s favorite profile for videos
- fantastic EVF, no need to punch in to check focus
- touch silent interface for video recording. All operates from touch screen and keeps settings separated from stills. Great idea. But touch screen control can be cumbersome and laggy
- linear focussing with focus by wire lenses is an enormously important feature
- camera never overheats. But 15 minutes recording limit without battery grip
- exposure changes in 1/3 stop… should be smoother
- IBIS quite effective
DID YOU KNOW?
- Chris got used to the new shutter button and likes it. But if it is too soft for your taste, Chris says you can send it in to Fujifilm and they will adjust it to one of the three different strengths levels you prefer. Here on FujiRumors we have already reported about this possibility, but it’s a good reminder in case you have missed it.
