DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-H1 Review

[@Thomas_Geist]

After I got my X-H1 I have never ONCE had an issue with the shutter release nor have I taken a picture by mistake. I find the release much better than the two-stage in properly pressing off the shot to not introduce any extra camera shake. It’s great.

[@danieldougan269]

Fun fact: That was a normal-sized chair. This really makes me want an X-T4.

[@jenriquegc5386]

Considering the XH1 and Fuji platform myself for an hybrid system. The XH1 stands above everything else: -Eterna. Out to the box footage looks stunning. Much better than Sony/GH5 graded, just compare here skintones. That saves HOURS in post. -Highlight rolloff. Better than everyone else, specially under harsh sun or artificial lighting. It looks organic, film-like. -Higher res EVF for manual focus -LINEAR FOCUS! at least a system that makes focus-by-wire lenses useful for video manual focus -Build. This is indeed a 1D-type of camera. And no overheating -Fuji lenses are all high-end and really well built, all metal construction. -JPEG SOOC. You can get away with them 90% of the time. Another time saver. And COLOR is stunning, best in the industry. -Price. An XH1 with 5-6 lenses and an XE3/XT20/XT2 as second body costs about HALF what it would cost with other brands, For instance with an A7III Now, the only drawbacks are to me not being FF (neither is an ALEXA) for DOF in photo mode, but that only makes sense if you pay for the EXPENSIVE Sony GMs like the 70-200, otherwise it's f4 zooms or f1.8 primes, so the FF advantage is lost. And Sony has the STUNNING eyeAF. Still on the fence. Thx DPReview and Chris&Jordan

[@BenjaminFreddie]

Damn man I am already a Fuji guy and this made me want to throw out my current older Fuji lineup and just get the XH1. I make videos and do photo work too, and I actually was going to go for the XH1 this summer. But now that the XT3 is coming out in September I want to wait to see what Fuji does with the XT3 first. I do think that it is really hard to beat the Fuji ecosystem for the price.

[@Weird_Quests]

J Enrique G C hey win thinking of buying into the Fuji XH1 - What lenses would you recommend as a lineup with this camera and the grip too? I’m thinking about selling my Sony system off, getting the xh1 with lenses for video production and a x100f for daily stills.

[@808islandlife_HI]

Great review guys. Jordan, I'm happy to see you in front of the camera more and Chris, amazing pictures.

[@niccollsvideo]

Island Pics Thanks so much! We had a a great day. Chris@DPReview

[@cameraconspiracies]

I love that Jordan gets more airtime now ;) Great review guys.

[@Durio_zibethinus]

Camera Conspiracies yay for Jordan 😉

[@matt_phistopheles]

Depends on how capable the video mode on the camera is I guess. In the next Leica or Canon review Jordan will probably have much less screen time.

[@Jesusvanegas94]

Exactly, that's has always been the case

[@thatjordandrake]

We took your feedback on that top KZbinrs episode seriously!

[@JohnBarrow1961]

Dude has a face made for radio.

[@Hexsea9y]

I really am impressed with what I perceive as decent, accurate and unbiased review. My go to first source for reviews of this type. Professionally done, excellent communications, no distracting personal BS. Well done!

[@Murphy252000]

First flamingo shot is dope. So happy you guys are moving on up, you are two super genuine guys and have watched you pair for yonks! Thanks dudes, Cheers from Ireland

[@niccollsvideo]

Emmet Dallat Thanks so much! We try our best for you. Chris@DPReview

[@DerJohnnyWalker]

I own an X-H1 for 1 month now and I think the battery topic is overrated. On a wedding I can shoot about 600 photos with one battery. It is not great, but it is also not terrible. This is with automatic switching between the LCD and the EVF. But since the switching by the eye sensor is now really fast, I will use EVF + Eye sensor (meaning that the EVF is off, if you don't look through it) in future to prolong battery life. And I have to admit, I love the new shutter button. It feels very intuitive to shoot with it and honestly I did not need any time to get used to it. I can only assume, that most of the reviewers are lacking fine motor skills ;-P And the new mechanical shutter is so quiet, this is really sexy. Last but not least, I find the top display very handy. It summarizes the most important camera settings in one place (e. g. AF mode, film simulation mode, ISO, WB). So forgetting about the camera settings and shooting with the wrong camera settings has become less probable ;-) And I love it, that I can see the battery status (important with the X-H1 ;-) ), the exposure compensation and remaining shots even when the camera is turned off.

[@basilkiwan8922]

I'm completely new to Fuji, but sold my Sony A99II to buy the X-H1. Been using for the last 10 days, and what I found: 1.) Maybe it is bulky for a mirrorless camera, but the ergonomics are great and compared to an SLR, it's still light and actually compact, 2.) The image quality is gorgeous, 3.) the autofocus is really nice. There is a lot of tweaking, but I have been using this to shoot birds with the 100-400mm lens, and it is really good. I use the one of the presets (the 2nd one I believe), and zone AF (either the medium size 7x7 zone, or the smaller 3x3 zone) and it does the job quite nicely. (I found the wide area tracking AF is not terribly effective) There is a good article by a bird photographer up on Photography Life, about using an X-T2 with the 100-400mm zoom, and that gave me some good tips on how to customize the AF on the X-H1 to be most effective. I wish the phase detect autofocus area was a bit wider across the sensor, though compared to my Sony A99II (using the non-Sony, Tamron 150-600 zoom), the X-H1 AF area is actually bigger (as a % of the sensor). More importantly, the whole setup is compact and light -- so I didn't need a tripod and I could get closer to my targets and get some nice shots. I still have to play some more and figure out how I want to customize the camera further, but, I'm loving it.

[@Loopsrainforest]

I've been shooting fuji for a couple years now but just used the 100-400 for the first time this weekend shooting Sandhill Cranes with the same settings as you & although I thought I missed focus on almost all my flying photo's when I got home I was shocked that almost all of them where in focus & this was with my X-T2. Also extremely impressed with the optical quality on the lens & didn't expect that from a variable aperture lens.

[@villemononen5303]

Nice! Of course things smooth out as you progress, but i only want to say that there's no need to mention DPReview everytime the content is being brought up. For the most part, just show it and let it become naturally integrated to the show, instead of awkwardly imposing again and again. Wish you all the best! We love you guys!

[@hazelvee2527]

Ville Mononen: I fear this is part of their contract with DPR.

[@niccollsvideo]

Nah it was all me. I just said go to dpreview.com everytime we referenced a chart and in future will only mention it once or twice. Besides as more time goes by everyone will get the relationship and assume the charts are from dpreview.com Chris@DPReview

[@villemononen5303]

Alright, very good then! Looking forward to the next episodes as usual. You guys rock!

[@hazelvee2527]

Chris Niccolls: You are with dpreview.com now, aren't you? 😉☺

[@theartofphotography]

Awesome… congrats to both of you!

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Ted, see you soon!

[@billbuffett2092]

+Jordan Drake I liked the photos. Could you please upload all the photos to the Dpreview gallery?

[@ridgereed8163]

instaBlaster...

[@jd2086]

Very good review! Awesome guys, I'm pretty sure that Fujifilm will update the camera to fix and improve the autofocus features, same happened to the xt2, at first release days autofocus wasn't so good, but look what they do to the camera... Is the thing with Fujifilm, they will change your camera with software a lot of times and they do it right to give you better software improvement and features... As an example the 120 fps and internal flog on the xt2, so I can trust that the x-h1 in a very short future will get some awesome features, even 4k 60fps because they can achieve that thanks to the x-h1 200Mbps recording capabilities.... And same to the laggy touch screen, they now improve the xe3 touch panel, they really know their cameras and always try to extract the best of each one.

[@loxpower]

I'm really enjoying your videos for DPReview so far. I'm finding the same amount of coolness and enlightening informations you gave us with TCSTV, this is still the old good Chris and Jordan's show, better than ever. :) Hope you'll not change that.

[@thatjordandrake]

We're going to continue to refine this show, but we have intention of changing the overall feel. Thanks for watching!

[@enregistreur]

Great review! I was wondering if the X-H1 was fit for my use case just yesterday, so it's perfectly on time. However, about the review format, may I suggest saying "more details on that in the written review" throughout the video, instead of repeating "check it on dpreview.com" ? I understand it's useful for this first installment, to differenciate it from TCSTV, but it feels a bit distracting. Anyway, I'm really glad you are now able to directly quote and present comprehensive lab tests, I think it's a perfect complement to your field tests.

[@PeterGregg]

And we're off :) Looks great! When cooking it often says to either "add ingredients" to the recipe or to "fold in" the stuff. Folding in is always a gentle way to introduce additional ingredients gently. This video is a great cooking show lol. You "folded in" gently so almost not to notice that this is now a DPReview rather than something else. Job so well done - I'm impressed - just a nice sprinkling of DPReview so as not to distract from the topic on the plate. Guess I must be hungry with all this food lingo :) Thumbs up.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Peter!

[@georgeyang3783]

[@2dimples_dad255]

Glad you mention it's actually fairly large for a mirrorless and honesty about the systems capability is spot on.

[@蔡依林-g1j]

One episode per week - that's a lot of pressure on Chris and Jordan, but I welcome it wholeheartedly. Now I don't have to wait so long for each video. Thanks a lot to the dynamic duo.

[@artmaltman]

What a fantastic review! You get right to the point and cover the crucial issues. Thanks!

[@stalman]

Are you back to shooting log for this video? Love the grade

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Tyler! Log for high contrast scenes, 709-Like for most of the episode.

[@curtis.strange]

Jordan is pretty great on screen these days. Keep em coming guys!

[@josecolon8143]

Jordan bring this channel to life

[@connor3010]

Dear lord that kid is photogenic. Those bright green globe eyes against the leaf background with some nice catch light from the water below looks incredible. This camera's picture output is super impressive. The peakcocks earlier in the video are so detailed and colourful and the colours out of camera look super nice.

[@Azeemmerchant]

Color science of Fuji is so beautiful

[@markromero7874]

As a sony shooter, I agree with you. The eterna profile is really nice. I prefer it to canon's lauded colors and it is, of course, much better than the colors coming out of my Sony (although EOSHD Pro Color does help a lot).

[@jospehbroham6743]

Maybe you can't.

[@JeremyGalloway]

Mathias J, you are wrong! I think a lot of people, even amateurs, could easily pick out a Fuji jpeg (as long as you haven't edited). I've shot Canon, Sony and Fuji, and they all have very distinct looks straight out of camera.

[@doriesbps6223]

yeah.. i agre with you.. in my opinion those fuji fancy color only optimized to make skin color looks pleasing.. actually it doestn work with landscape scene..

[@ravelg]

Good luck to the both of you with DPReview! Wishing you all the best!

[@ebones7125]

That shutter button is one of the best features about the camera! Try a thing called back button focus if you are worried about a half press. :/

[@sclogse1]

A very minty complete X-H1 package came into my possession today. I think I got it because I got the 90 last month. It didn't hurt getting the whole deal for 700, either. (No tax no shipping..a cafe sale!) I mean...that's just amazing. As usual, pics around the house later today...boy, the wrong SD card...the wait time... but I noticed your wrist strap. I like it. I like the narrow gauge style, but all I see on ebay like it seems to be for pocket digitals 20 or so years old. What's your's? And considering the firmware upgrades this camera has had, maybe it's time to go over your autofocus issues again.

[@babu7141]

Is it worth upgrading from the X-T2?

[@christosphillips3568]

What do you know about anything you were against IBIS UNTIL Fuji came up with this non focusing turd muffin and then suddenly you fell in love with IBIS, then you say you have nothing to earn from Fuji.....yeah right....loser!! HE he you can't block my comments now can you????Oh another thing you've been calling the DPReview very sarcastically Daiper reviewers, now what the hell do you want in this forum?????? Trolling parasite as always!!!

[@carlosdeleon7209]

I'm happy to see you guys on DPREVIEW putting this videos together. Just a suggestion, I will like to see your prints comparisons and review regarding the cameras you are reviewing, like you guys just to do it on the past not long ago, other then that, I like the way you guys approach to the reviews.

[@DougPardee]

Here's a tech note, triggered by the comment about using back-button focus being immediately followed by a discussion of AF-C. Using back-button focus with AF-C on the Fuji is flirting with... well, not danger, but misfocus. It doesn't buy you anything if you always keep the button held down until after you've released the shutter. But if you release the button before you snap the picture, the focusing cycle instantly stops without completing. With phase-detect AF that's probably not an issue, but if the camera has decided to use contrast-detect AF, the lens will be left focused at some random distance within the "hunting" range. Furthermore, if you do release the AF-On button before firing the shutter, Release Priority will not save you from taking badly-focused images. Release Priority is -- understandably -- connected to AF, and releasing the button disengages autofocus. (By the way, the AF+MF option does that, too.)

[@garyt6912]

Is the "pre-shoot" function automatic in XH1 when using electronic shutter?

[@MoghulVeyron]

I think the shutter button is amazing, made shooting pictures way more of a stable experience. IBIS helps but the shutter button definitely contributes.

[@kevinpritchard6260]

Excellent and entertaining review as always ... D Preview are so fortunate to have you on their team

[@buyingonabudget1916]

In depth and very interesting! Loving these weekly videos.

[@cosyspeed1441]

Things get rolling at DPReview! 👏🎥

[@MichaelLaing71]

Good review. I have had the X-H1 for over a month now and am only just getting used to it. The big negative with the camera for me is it isn't just a 'pick up and go camera', you really have to think about what you are shooting then go into the menu and set up the AF to get the best images possible. I also have the X-E1, which isn't nearly as good but is much more fun to shoot with because I know the AF doesn't work very well, so I just use manual, you don't get that with the X-H1, though manual focus does work very well. Also I am 50/50 on the EVF, I am used to EVF's but I just can't seem to get to grips with the X-H1's for some reason, particularly in lower light situations and it some times feels juddery. I have also had some of the issues with freezing that a lot of X-H1 owners have had, though not recently. I am looking forward to the firmware upgrade the X-H1 is going to get in May and hope it helps with the AF. I may sound very negative about the camera but it is generally a very good camera and the images you get in normal light are excellent, particularly the picture profiles. I love the body of the camera and the grip is good, it is heavy in comparison with my X-E1 but it balances well. For me the biggest thing is it is a good camera, in need of a faster processor and when Fuji bring out the X-H2 they are going to have a camera which can compete for video, compared to the GH5 (though by then we will have the GH6). If I was going to give this camera a grade, it would be a B+, it is very capable but there a just little annoying things which stop the camera get an A score from me.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Great to see it's business as usual from you guys. Great review, thanks.

[@赵星晨-j7l]

As an X-Pro2 user, I think Fuji did an excellent job for IBIS and video improvements, but I think we deserve more because of its price tag.

[@antonrosolovskyi8470]

Nice review, but I wonder if you going to edit it with new firmware update?

[@REZrblde]

I wanted to say that KZbin compression screwed up Jordan's shot at the bubbly aquarium scene but i dont think thats it. Even with 200mbps bitrate it still feels lacking. I wanna say the G9 is still the winner. Good video,good photo, AWESOME AWESOME EVF,good for wildlife with the m43 sensor,rather smaller lightweight body,much more affordable.

[@harmonium8826]

I like this guy coz he always mentions which camera he is using for the review.

[@rainerlainio2323]

Nice review guys and.... How much do you feel you get lost in YT compression from the G5s original part to this video? For me this looks like unusual good YT quality.

[@calvinchann1996]

Just shot a ATP tennis match with my X-H1 with grip and XF 50-140. I find the XF 100-400 zoom ring is too stiff so don’t use it as much. But in 2 hours, I shot 1,066 frames and used, according to the meters, one and a half batteries. On the downside, it froze once, but that was resolved by unscrewing the grip. Yes, the shutter release can be vague at times and I probably missed a couple of shots due to this. Worst thing was that the buffer is too small. (I was shooting RAW plus JPG). It’s not quite and EOS 1 yet.

[@ehmaycrazy]

I had to tap out on the 2nd guy, homeboy didn’t blink once with his eyes bugging out.. and it’s truly distracting. Like bruh, are we in a staring contest? Because you’re KILLING it. 👁👁

[@sclogse1]

The trick on the touch screen is, it's a touch screen, not a tap screen. Give a good touch, you don't notice a lag. One thing I noticed with the X-H1 is that prioritizing all my settings for fastest response with the camera, I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know on my T-2.

[@StefanCiulu]

Really nice photos Chris! And very nice shots and editing Jordan! Great content - Love it!

[@jjstarrprod]

Awesome ! Great to see you again, this time under the DPReview banner ! Great test, pretty comprehensive, and always that little bit of wry humor to spice it up. For the 14 mins 59sec limit for video, I've read somewhere that it was for tax reasons, like camcorders with no time limits and photo cameras that do videos under 15 mins are taxed differently to companies, and that might be the main reason why Fuji is keeping things under 15mins SOOC

[@MartinOcando]

Outstanding reviews, as always. This is the perfect companion for DPR written reviews. I was so disappointed with the 2-minute mini reviews they had before. BTW, why don't you guys change the channel name to DPReview TV, and maybe tweak the logo a tad bit, just to differentiate with the previous content, which is quite frankly night and day?​

[@tedclutter7326]

Finally got an X-H1 - certainly pulls all my strings. Grip is great. IBIS too. Viewfinder is super fine. Not that much bigger or heavier than the X-T2 (for which this new camera to the bag is a companion). In fact, after learning the camera for the past several hours, it is plain to see that it is an X-T2 on steroids. Very glad to have it ;-)

[@janrrob]

I don't know but watching your videos never ever feel like I have to move the slider to skip some useless parts. That's coz you don't waste my time discussing things nobody cares about. I get it, you want to keep a casual looking output, although it's quite obvious you put some serious effort into this weekly vids. Great job and thanks Chris ad Jordan! You both rock! :D

[@bradleyadailey]

I wish the full review would have been shot with the Fuji. The best looking TCSTV (Chris and Jordan) reviews were the ones on and shot with Fuji cameras. Although it is interesting to see the contrast with the GH5S video.

[@xieyihaostar]

Isn't the XT-3 not released yet?? I've heard it being mentioned twice in the video. do we know the specifications of XT-3's sensor already?

[@diy-fixit9566]

A bit more on focus peaking, focus check and setting stabilization distances for manual lenses is also a huge welcoming for newbies like me to the X-H1.

[@lucaraimondo5967]

Hi Chris, may I ask you if the viewfinder of the Fuji is better that the a7r3?

[@HI2LIFE]

Mate @ 6:31 you mentioned not really knowing when a half press of the shutter is focusing or taking the photo? What about the large AF/ON back button? Just program the camera to use that for focusing and the camera to take photos only?

[@genjii931]

Hopefully they'll bring Eterna to the X-T2 firmware. Spend the extra money on lenses or a gimbal.

[@hoopoverthehill]

Fuji really does know great colour science. Love it.

[@mrcrotalusatrox1513]

For my purposes, the only real reason to get the XH1 over the A7iii is that that ibis on the XH1 seems to be more effective. Is this true? If you're not in perfect light you're gaining 1 stop over the XH1 when using the A7iii, but if the XH1 ibis gets 2 more stops of stabilisation, it seems to come out in the wash.

[@onlymeatsui0796]

Watching this because I’m planning to upgrade from my X-T20 for my second winter.

[@jenadarol]

Hi guys, terrific review as usual. You kept on saying that Fuji already updated the xt2 to match some of the specific of the xh1, but in the fuji website I still don't see the firmware update. Am I missing something? All the best from UK

[@tiger_powers]

Great review once again, dope camera...kinda thinking of upgrading from my gx85 either to g9 or xh1... Love the Fuji dials, and the upper display i like way more then the one on the g9

[@Pierre.P4]

Great vid and continued success Chris and Jordan.

[@markshirley01]

Apparently there's a new continuous AF firmware update. My head says A73 my heart says XH1 (for video)

[@mihaillupu4967]

Mark Shirley wtf prices not even close.

[@aussie8114]

Excellent critical honest review. Would've helped to know if the photos were out of camera jpegs, processed jpegs, or raw processed. You did this for some but not most of them. Would like to know what camera backpack you like to use / using in this video.

[@thatjordandrake]

Aside from the film simulation demonstration, all the shots were RAW processed with Capture One.

[@aussie8114]

Jordan Drake Thanks 👍🏼

[@JonInLondon]

Nice video, thanks. I do have some questions if you can spare a sec... The way I use Back-Button Focusing on my 5-series DSLR is to customise two buttons (AF-ON and *) with completely different sets of AF settings, so I can just pick the one I want (including different tracking cases). My GH5 doesn't allow for anything like the flexibility (plus it won't even do AE lock on the shutter button in CAF). Does the XH1: (1) Allow more than one button for BBF and to have different AF recipes on them? (2) Support an AE lock option on the shutter button for SAF and CAF? Oh and I was surprised by the macro photos, thought the lens would do better (although video editing and KZbin are in the way, of course). P.S. When you say the IBIS works with OIS lenses it sounded like you were suggesting Dual-IS - if so are you sure, I thought it was you just got one? Plus if I'm correct have Fuji, who do like the firmware update, suggested they will support Dual-IS (body+lens) at some point? (Conversely I wish Panasonic would let me use the GH5's IBIS with OIS lenses that don't support Dual-IS rather than being stuck with the less good OIS.) P.P.S It may be KZbin but I didn't like the look of Chris's lips in the Eterna segment in front of the bubbles. How does it look in the original? P.P.P.S. You talked (17:50) about shooting FLog+Eternal on an XT2 being similar to the XH1, but perhaps should have mentioned the lack of IBIS you then get?

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

This review sound more like the Sony alpha first Gen, hope Fuji doesn't wait 3 generation for improvements. we know Fuji does make plenty of updates for FREE instead of making us wait for 2nd and 3rd generations for updates like Nikon and canon.

[@bobcloud4013]

Great review guys!! How are you liking filming with the gh5s? I’m looking to take the plunge by the end of the year for one.

[@Weird_Quests]

What camera bag is that next to the big red chair? That’s a sentence I thought I would never say...

[@stevetqp9152]

Nice review, Chris and Jordan. As a stills-only guy with an X-Pro2 and some stellar Fujinon XF lenses, since the XH-1 uses the same sensor as my X-Pro2, despite IBIS and newer processor tweaks, I just don't see any differences in image quality. (IBIS means nothing to me anyway, for hte majority of my shooting, I use a solid tripod.) I'm anxiously awaiting the XT-3 with the new processor AND sensor! And BTW, I realie this isn't a lens review, but IMHO, that Fujinon XF80mm f/2.8 Macro is the sharpest lens I've used in 40 years of photography! Another reason I'm awaiting the XT-3...to see what stellar detail the XT-3 and 80mm Macro can achieve! Thank you!

[@jeanmosquea9539]

Where can I find the custom settings?

[@macmac8122]

The "opening" specs are just a starting point (look at the xpro2!). You should do a new review on that camera and compare it to the original one. This is why Fuji is more value-for-money even if the price point on release is not cheap. The second reason are the superb lenses for the money and the very good manual focusing aids for special lenses like leica and voigtländer.

[@samoedi4876]

Hi guys. Do you know if the Eterna film simulation will be available on X-T1? Thanks!

[@musamapk]

Hey Chris! Why didn't you use battery grip dials when taking vertical/ portrait shots @2:34 ?

[@musamapk]

Never mind. Got my answer at 3:20. Cheers!

[@myeates1418]

How does the new Fujifilm X-T4 compare vs the Panasonic G9 with the updated firmware for photos, video, image stabilization, controls and ergonomics?

[@AmeriMutt76]

Chris, did you try the "Linear Focus Mode" with that 80mm, or at all? I was hoping it would help with fine focus and macro, and was not just for video...

[@richdt]

Excellent video as usual... congratulations to you guys!

[@drdehaan]

Possible to charge the in camera battery through the USB port?

[@just_eirik]

I ha e a question, how is the shutter button compared to what you find on Nikon D750? I always preferred the D750 shutter button compared to the ones on X-T2 and X-T3. I like that there is not a hard stop that you have to get past when half pressing it, like on the X-T2 and X-T3. Makes holding the camera still much easier. Is this X-H1 shutter button not like the D750 button?

[@hankdinardo4308]

You never mentioned the upcoming Firmware for the X-H1 how about an update to the review when its released? Fuji always improves things a lot with their updates.

[@niccollsvideo]

We're playing with the Beta but we don't like to review Beta features until they are proven to work well. Looks like a nice update but the AF improvements are pretty minor. Chris@DPREVIEW

[@bogrunberger]

1 episode pr week. Easily the best news in a long time!

[@photographerjonathan]

Please review the Tamron 28/75 f2.8 e mount and the Sigma 105 f1.4. E mount. It would also be cool to see a video that shows the testing process that dpreview does. So we have an idea what they actually do. The fuji XH1 does nothing for me. Bigger than a Sony A7lll but with a smaller sensor and smaller battery. And needs the grip for a headphone jack. and at the price of a full frame camera, Fuji had me really close to buying into the fuji system. I like the fuji color. But in the end i wanted full frame and switched from a Canon 5Dlll to a Sony A7r lll. Fuji should have gone full frame instead of putting out there medium format camera.

[@thatjordandrake]

Hoping to get a Tamron 28-75mm sample soon. We'll be going to Seattle shortly to make an episode about the DPReview lab in the near future.

[@borasao3329]

Hi DP Review. It'd be nice if you did a 2023 review of this and how it improved through updates.

Great camera but they tried too hard to neuter the camera to sell you the expensive battery grip which takes a lot away from the compactness and portability of this camera....which was one of the best features of the xt2. Other than that, I'm loving that we see Chris and Jordan put out their best content more regularly.

[@randallherreraNyc]

these guys made me sub.. long time fan of these two ! i even watch Nikon reviews as long as chris and Jordan are doing it !

Sony lenses uses different focus methods (linear vs non-linear) and I don't know if it's a toss up what you get. The 85 1.4 GM is linear, the 35 1.4 Sony/Zeiss is not linear. The option to choose between linear vs non-linear should be put on all cameras indeed

[@kayreezy]

Came over from the TCSTV KZbin Channel for you guys. Love your work!

[@oneduelist]

Congrats on your move, guys, and thanks for the continuing great reviews!

[@JeffreyScottJr]

Curious if they improved the eye autofocus in a firmware update since this camera was released?

[@GerryBraatz]

Watched it for you guys, good luck on the new channel. I'm waiting for the new A7s myself :)

[@TheFulcrum2010]

Chris and Jordan, got to say guys you're the best. Always a pleasure to watch and now at DPReview, brilliant.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks! Keep watching and we'll keep trying to make the show better.

Nice review guys, but are you contractually obligated to mention DP Review so many times? :-) I'm trying out an X-H1 now. Compared to my X-Pro-2 I enjoy the deeper grip, EVF, flippy screen, locking dials, and of course the IBIS. But it does not feel as well built in the hand, especially when compared to my Pro-2 or the X-t2. I've also been bumping the Q button constantly and the garbage and review buttons are in a weird location. I ended up turning the touch screen off because it was just so hit and miss, and I did find the shutter release too soft and unpredictable. The battery life just flat out sucks, and I'm finding it getting hot after 20 minutes or so of shooting. I love my Fuji stuff but right now I don't see this as a replacement for my Pro-2. Gotta admit, the a7III is looking very tempting right now. Damn you Sony!

[@bill3117]

Just purchased a used one. I'm looking forward to taking delivery. I think for the price, and unique body style (for Fujifilm) it will have a lot to offer. I'm sure the XT-4, if not for price, would have have made more sense in 2020. Thank you for one of the best reviews I've found! For the price I'm hoping it works well with my XPro-3. Have any firmware updates improved the camera with zooms vs. primes you mentioned?

[@Loopsrainforest]

OMG! Your Panda exhibit just made the CTV National news!

[@photodom2000]

Chris, I noticed that even though you have the Vertical Grip, you often still use the Horizontal shutter button in Portrait Mode? Any reason why?

[@ThomasPetzwinkler]

Great work guys! Good to see you on this cannel now Jordan.

[@BodhiTOuellette]

Now that you guys are at DPReview, are you guys still going to continue making Wooden Niccoles episodes? As a young filmmaker, watching those videos are really good sources of inspiration in regards to lighting and cinematography, and understanding how to light a set, and composing great images with just these DSLR cameras. I find them to be really incredible, and I hope you guys can continue them at DPReview, if either Chris or Jordan see this message.

[@thatjordandrake]

We'll absolutely be continuing the 'Wooden Niccolls' series going forward. I'm glad you like them, they've been some of our favourite episodes to shoot!

[@Ryan_the_Spoo]

How’s that bag? I saw them online and wanted to get one...

[@niccollsvideo]

Its the roots grey bag. Can't remember the exact model but I love it with two exceptions. The buckle locks are either snap or a push lock, I think they should just do one or the other, also there is a pouch for a tablet, but it won't fit a small laptop. If those things are ok with you I highly recommend it. Chris@DPREVIEW

[@Ryan_the_Spoo]

Chris Niccolls I’m gonna go have a look. I think it might be a smidge small from what you said... thanks

[@kylosalvesen]

I wonder how many times they had to shoot the intro, my guess is Chris said TCSTV at least 5 times before getting it right

[@niccollsvideo]

Kylo Salvesen It's like you were there! Chris@DPReview

[@donisiciliano]

How much is it? and how much for that lens with it? thx
