Still a big issue a year later.

i sold mine 2 years ago which I regretted that so now Im buying a gently used second hand one.

I have the same issue with the autofocus on my X-T5 and mysterious green box. My patience is running out.

A wee bit bulkier? WOW! That lens is a monster. I do street photography. I live between 35 & 50mm. For parades I may use a 28mm focal length. I just started exploring the 85mm focal length. I have no need for telephoto and I’m glad about that. I walk the streets for hours and my gear is heavier the further I walk and the older I get. I have no plan to switch out my Fuji gear for my cell phone. For one body and lens 3L works. I frequently take a 2nd lens and some frozen Ice tea for hydration. I have gravitated to the 6L size bag. I throw in some extra batteries and memory cards. I Cary a small notebook and a pen. That fills my 6L bag. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Silly thing I learned about the XH1. I put the camera down and didn’t pick it up for a while. The battery died. The LCD screen on the top plate stays on all the time. I can’t figure out how to turn it off. Solution-take the battery out of the camera when not in use. I like IBIS. When not doing video clips I don’t need it. I short in the day at ss of 1/250-1/500. Still, a nice feature to have. Your advice about buying used is very sound. A very important question to ask yourself is what features do you need. The camera manufacturers are in the business of selling us new gear. Right now, there aren’t new innovations so the manufacturers are producing cameras with incremental improvements. We are at the point of diminishing marginal returns. With new cameras we are paying more for less improvements. Cameras that produced good images five or ten years ago continue to produce good images now. They are less expensive than new cameras. The truth is cameras have features we don’t use but we pay for them anyway. Get what you need. Learn how to get the best images out of your camera and be happy with them. Two mantras I have about my gear are use the right tool for the right job and good enough is good enough. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I’m a hobbyist street photographer. I don’t need the latest and greatest gear. I have a lot of Fuji bodies and lenses. I appreciated your XH1 video. I bought it this year by accident. I wasn’t shopping for a XH1. I found a photographer who was leaving Fuji so for $600 I bought the body and three lenses worth $600. I bought the battery grip for $50. It is a chunky body but I like the output. I do some video clips but mostly stills. I love the fujicrons. The 23/2 and 35/2 are my go to lenses. Also use the 50/2. These lenses are small nd lightweight. That is the way I like by lenses and bodies. Then there is the kit lens. Very useful range of focal lengths plus it has OIS. The XT4 is my newest body. I don’t need the 40MP files. I love the Acros film simulation with the red filter. Velvia for color. For what I do old cameras are OK. I use the right tool for the right job. For me, good enough is good enough. I like the Fuji dials and nobs. I like the film sims. I like the size and weight of my gear. I don’t need full frame. I’m not buying any new Fuji gear anytime soon but appreciate what I have. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

You shared some wonderful images. Great advice. I’ve decided on an XH-1 with the 27 and 75 Viltrox lenses. I only shoot stills, I have no interest in video.

This lady is putting so much emphasis on spending the extra 1000 on a full frame over apsc but the reality is buying apsc also allows you to spend more on lens and having a higher quality lens is more important than sensor size imo

Amazing work man hope you get more follows and views Sincerely a fellow R7 user 👏🏾

I did all the possible firmware updates on my XT5 without any improvement, in the end I sold it and promised myself Fuji NEVER AGAIN

Just another reason I may sell all Fuji and go back to Nikon FF. I like Fuji glass, but AF always below others standards WTF Fuji

I think I have my first camera

Which Fuji camera do you recommend for video production? I had considered the XH1 as a viable option, but after reviewing this video, I am having second thoughts about its suitability for my needs. I would appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.

Unnecessary annoying music. American?

WELL SAID!!!!!!!!

I’ve just been using the XT5 for a couple of weeks and got the same issue! The camera is not fit for purpose and I’m looking to return it! Poor show Fuji!

I use the XH-1 in 2024 with a nikon 200-500 5,6 and Fringer Adapter for wildlife and it love it! Furthermore, I own some good fuji glass as well as some nice vintage lenses - with them, IBIS helps a lot. Without the grip, the battery life is unacceptable in my opinion. Other than that, if you can tolerate that AF and tracking lack precision and tempo to nowadays standards and that the cam lacks 60fps@4k, in terms of quality-price-ration you imho still get a fantastic bang for the buck. It's well built and get's the job done.

Great camera. I have earned over $200,000 in the past 3 years with my X-H1's. Coupled with my 10-24mm zoom or my 56mm f1.2 these X-H1's produce superb images.

If not for the crappy battery and this constant error flickering on my screen that batteries are draining too fast, i would have sticked to xt3.

Bought a XH1 in February/24 for a good Brice. It is an OK camera. I do street photography and this body isn’t the one I choose to carry all day. It is too big and heavy. I prefer the XT30 or XS10. I like the IBIS. The shutter is very sensitive and requires practice using it with the 1/2 press to focus. Haven’t done any video with the XH1 but it is probably OK. The focus for photography is OK. Most of the time it locks on accurately quickly. I love the three way screen. It tilts up & down. Turn the body to portrait and the screen pulls out in the portrait mode. Very nice. This body hasn’t experienced the price inflation many Fuji have. It is a solid camera and worth looking at. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Just bought a new XT5 and a 33 1.4. Extremely disappointed. Your results mirror mine.

well made!! exactly what I needed to know about the lens ;) thanks

I just got an xt3. It would cost me about $155 to trade it in for an xh1. Is it worth it? I’m new to photography and I’m interested in eventually videos

Which software do you use to edit the photos? I'm deciding which system to go mirrorless and one of my options is Fuji, but the raws appears very soft and lacking fine detail when i put them in Lightroom. In comparison Canon and Sony seems to have more fine detail.

Xh1 homie 😁

as a casual photographer, i absolutely LOVE the aperture ring but id love both lenses

Thanks man. Just got one. Lets gerrriiiiiiittttt

Weight doesn't matter to me...I don't think it's that demanding to work with this lens two hours a day once every few days...I am planning to buy one soon..thank you for this great review!

I totally agree, you don't need the latest expensive innovation to make good videos, you rather need the right idea. 👍

I'm looking up for info on this camera, as a guy wants to sell me his. GREAT exposure, bro!! Very matter of fact with meat & potatoes facts! Keep on sharing!!

Is this lens good for manual focusing for video? Does it focus hunt while zooming in/out? I saw reviews and during auto-focus the focus hunting was bad.

Very honest advice.

Does it still has the exposure change issue when zooming in/out?

Does the X-H2 shoot 4K60 internal without a cropping ?

I bought XH1 when the XH2 came out for cheap. I love this camera. When one of my friends saw the raw photos he bought one as well. I noticed the ebay prices have risen since people are finding out how good this little camera is.

I bought the ,X-T30 II, and after a few months, I got the ,X-H 1. The 30 II, Is now my backup and , H-1 my main.

Thank you for this video. I purchased an XH1 last week for the IBIS. I am a stills shooter and do some video clips. I have ordered the battery grip in excellent condition from MPB. Most videos about this body are five years old. The question I have is about FW updates. I understand the FW updates gave us new features and improved performance. The XH1 with the FW updates is a different animal than the body at release. Might you do a video about this? Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

The focusing motor is stabilized by electro-magnets. When powered off, they disengage, thus the clanking noise and movement.

Thank you for sharing! You definitely pulled the trigged for me, i shoot only stills for events and come from x-t10 that is a wonderful camera but a bit too much in the not professional side. Yet to choose what lenses to pick, i like primes but for paied work i think is better an all arounder. 🤙

Why are all these short reviews word for word exactly the same

My first impression went your way, but there are so many settings that I had never encountered on other brands (not that I know many). The "continuous" focus setting are something else (plus the ability to set your own). The shooting priority that can be set to "when achieving focus only". The power selection (economy, normal and boost). I cannot say that I have tried this myself to validate, but I know the choices in setup are there. My choice in this camera includes the amount of time it is bound to take me to explore its capabilities before I start to get bored. I think I'm good for a long time. But I hope you have sorted your camera problem already. But in the end, not one is perfect, and the choice is always difficult. I think it goes for pretty much everything in life. Maybe we need to learn how to love it, or not.

This was a great and well thought out exposition of what really matters in photography as far as gear goes.

Thanks for making this video. I have been getting increasingly frustrated by watching dozens of utube videos and experiencing brain lock as a result. Your advice is sound and fiscally responsible.

Is this only with working with the video or also with just shoots?

For me I think the cameras they’ve made available in 23 have been pretty dull and boring. If you’re paying that much for the x-t5 you may as well get a full frame camera. The interesting models they were making, namely the x100v and x-e4 you cannot buy now - where are they? I think as a manufacturer they’ve lost their edge and have forgotten why people loved their cameras so much in the first place. And please, if you’re going to make the xh2 for pity’s sake put a full frame sensor in it.

I just tried the XT5 with a multitude of native Fujifilm lenses and shot 4KHQ HLG and when I went to go review the footage, I wasn't blown away by it. I checked all my settings and there was nothing wrong. So then I pulled out my GH5 and put on some native Panny Leica lenses and picked the same format and HLG......and to my UTTER SHOCK, the quality of the video that came out of my almost 7 year old GH5 looked better than this brand new Fujifilm XT5. I had re-review both camera footages twice to confirm that I wasn't loosing my mind but it is true. I don't.....I really don't understand how this could be. Furthermore, just as you said in the video, Fuji's autofocus gave me ALOT of out of focus shots or blur or focusing on the wrong points or areas; and once again I double checked ALL of my settings and they were fine. I've been shooting photography forever and I was very disappointed in the results. The Fujifilm simulations and when the camera does nail the shot, the photos look amazing but this camera doesn't inspire any kinda confidence in me nailing shots now......and I do also hate how easy it is to move the dials in the camera too.

I am hoping that Fuji gives me something very special for 2024. Not too sure what they are planning but 2024 will be the year that Evolution of Fuji finally comes of age.

You’re not wrong, but for me it’s not important. My x-t2 and x-e1 are more capable than I’ll ever need. I don’t need the latest and greatest. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel in ‘24!

I am new to Fuji ecosystem,i just sold my sony a6000 and moved to Fuji xt4. I was struggling to decide what lens should i get for starter and was watching videos and videos,reviews over reviews untill you,with this video,your honest opinion made me buy this tamron instantly. Thank you so much for the help,i finally closed all these opened tabs :)

Does it have the preset fuji retro recipes like the xt series ?
