Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-H1 Real World Review | What Camera suits YOU?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

What would you choose between the X-T3 & X-H1 - Why?

[@mohammadzaman8713]

XH1 all day for IBIS and the grip!

[@davidmcc6666]

X-T3 for face detection.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah I really wish the X-H1 had eye detection!

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Agreed!

[@yapster804]

I just bought an XH1! IBIS and that fantastic soft shutter

[@kevingullick1596]

I choose the xh1 without question, the ergonomics and handling it just feels a more professional camera, I also hate lugging a tripod around so ibis is a godsend.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Totally understand this! Love walking around with the X-H1 I fee like I get annoyed when I carry around the X-T3, definatly a more pro level camera

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

x-h1 sucks at ergonomics. i had it. holding with 1 hand is pain in the ass!! i also had sony a6400 that was WAY better in hand than x-h1. Im not even joking. Anyway X-h1 is superb build camera.. slow, but i love it..except ergonomics and stupid PLAY button position.

[@spectrum_series]

Does it feel more professional without 10bit h265, 4k 60p and other modern features? I dont think so. For me and for now it feels more amateur

[@jonathanlogan6953]

I got an X-H1 back before the X-T4 was released, and recently purchased a second one. I love the ergonomics and the IBIS. I'd love better battery life and better autofocus.

[@baxtermarrison5361]

For me, the X-H1, in fact I have slightly more than one, and with the battery grip. The ergonomics, the stabilisation and the stronger lens mount were the deciding factors. The Ibis means I get the same sort of low light stability from my primes that I previously got with just the stabilised zooms. Handy to have when you need it.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

100% agree well said!

[@Bolton115]

Still sticking with the X-H1. I don't shoot much video and what I do shoot looks just fine in 4K 200Mbps. More than adequate for cats and kiddos.. meanwhile, the IBIS makes vintage glass shine and that softly damped shutter is a delight. Also, I sent one of my H1s in for service and had them tighten up the shutter release button-recommend! Really makes the half press/full press different and more usable. Regarding build quality, the H1 is Made in Japan, whereas the X-T3 is an Exacti contract build out of elsewhere. That's not a bad thing-the T3 is built just fine but, when you compare side by side there is something about the real Japanese made models that's hard to describe. Maybe like a real German built Leica versus a Panasonic made one? Worth mentioning also is the steel struts inside the H1's magnesium alloy frame that reinforce the lens mount so long MKS cinema lenses won't flex it. The X-T4 would be great if I didn't have the H1 but since I do, the T4's bigger battery and faster video/AF aren't really two grand worth of upgrade when both models have IBIS. Keep your X-H1 and buy more lenses. :-)

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Great read and very well explained! :D thank you

[@CWReace]

I chose the X-H1 a few months ago and have not regretted it. Love the IBIS and the grip/ergonomics. I do very, very little video, so those aspects of the X-T3 that are better didn't really have any influence on me.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah when you dont do much video i think the X-H1 is the way to go for sure! Glad you enjoyed and dont regret your decision

[@palamj2]

I love my X-H1.

[@Vikingdescendent]

The X T3 is a better all around camera, the specs tell you that. No mention that to properly function all of it's features, the X H1 requires the battery pack that brings cost and weight right of the X H1 way up. There are more than enough Fuji lenses with OIS to make the X T3 simply a better choice. Both will get the job done, but the superb auto focus of the X T3 and the faster sensor, will give you an edge when shooting pro work. You can buy a metal L plate that will add grip o the X T3 if it's an issue for around $35.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah I get this, this is just our personal opioion also. I am really glad that you love the X-T3 its a superb camera and deserves the love it gets. ;)

[@Bolton115]

@@matthewstorerphotography The X-T3 requires an easily lost dongle for headphone output, which also takes up the USB port so it can't be charged while, you know, using the camera in its maximal battery consumption mode.. Does the T3 have the headphone jack in its optional grip like the H1? If you have to put a grip on the T3 to make it the same size as the H1, then wouldn't it make sense to compare it to a gripped H1-which gives you two extra batteries and a headphone jack? I'm trying to think like a video shooter where battery life, stability, and audio monitoring are very important.

[@philipsutton2316]

you're a legend Matthew - I love your stuff! I agree - I have two X-H1's and just love them. I'm on a travel trip at the moment in Siem Reap. Just came from ten days in China and 2 weeks in Vietnam. I had the same lenses last year (90mm on one body 16-55 on the other). The only difference I swapped out the X-T2's for two H-1's. Man - they are a game changer. I'm carving up the images much more than ever before. That beautiful beefy grip, the low light stabilisation in dark markets and temples. Best thing I ever did was to get the H-1's. I could care less that they are an 'old' model now - they fit my needs perfectly. Didn't realise you were an Aussie as well - you don't have that shocking accent!!

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Totally agree mate! I will do a complete seperate review about the X-H1 and an in world review. I think these are 100% cameras you DONT appreciate until you use them and own them! Loving the travels :D Hahaha I will take that part of not having that shocking accent as a positive lol!

Hey Matthew! Would you recommend the XH1 just for stills as I don't do any video pretty much? Or would it be better to go with the Panasonic G9 just for stills?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Mhmm really hardquestion to answer, whats your style and what type of photography will you be mainly doing with it at what times?

[@T1C3Y]

Personally I choice the XH-1 as my first Fujifilm camera. Mainly for the bigger grip (have big hands), button layout and Ibis. Also there are great deals right now that's giving you the body plus battery grip for about 1000 Euros. That's a steal for a pro camera in my opinion. Great video btw!

[@matthewstorerphotography]

TOTALLY Agree! Well said for a 1000 euros I am not sure there is a better camera on the market for this price point?

[@cosjose]

I had a x-t3 for a couple of days paired with the new 16-80 lens (not even that heavy) and absolutely couldn't stand the pour ergonomics (coming from Nikon's dslr). I got my self a x-h1 and I absolutely love it (ibis)! The new features of the x-t3 (yes better af and video) are a bit blown out of proportion in reviews and spec comparisons. At least in my opinion x-h1 has better overall value (at much lower price). Totally agree with Matthew.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Thats awesome to hear super glad you got a camera that suits your needs. I find people read into the specs a lot which throws them to the X-T3

[@Vikingdescendent]

The price has gone back up. Way up.

[@drs-Rigo-Reus]

Same here.

[@markpollon3138]

It’s Aug 2021 and I just picked up a used XH1 to compliment my XT3. For $1k CAD with grip and 3 batteries it was a no brainer. Wanted the XH1 for travel with the IBIS and rugged weather sealing. Not sure if it is any better sealed than the XT3 but I’ll be glad to have the backup. I also love the IQ from the 24 MP sensor!

I mostly do stills and portrait photography and I travel a lot. Can you please give me your input since you have both? Thank you! **I’m also very curious how does xh1 ibis vs xt3 faster sensor and autofocus/eye af stacks up? Hope you can answer my question thank you!

[@haroldcarlson2775]

Have you moved on to the X-T4 or X-S10? I don't take video but still just purchased an X-H1 to see if the grip is worth it over my current X-T3. Even with an L-bracket with a grip it's still not 100% comfortable. Not sure if there will be a perceivable IQ difference with the FSI vs BSI sensors. But for landscapes, I need every little detail I can get with these APS-C sensors.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah I totally understand that. I am using the xt3 for photography and xt4 for video and travel photography use. Very happy with the set up :)

[@_H_2023]

And the XH1 is brilliant for using vintage lenses, I.S nails it every time in manual. That's why I bought the XH1.

[@GregCarrick]

I use my X-H1 for my photojournalist gigs as my prime camera. When I need a second body with a different lens I bring the X-T2 along as well. The X-H1 will nail a shot in low light, slow speed etc and the extra battery grip means I can shoot all day with no problems. My X-T30 hardly gets used now.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah totally understand that, i went through the same thing when I got the XT3.

[@Vikingdescendent]

You can't nail focus the X H1as well as the X T3. What important in photography is a getting focus.

[@unbroken1010]

Yeah I'm not sure I'm really torn mostly doing documentary portraits a little bit of filming because I have a ton of Pentax and m42 lenses. Xe3 is 500 bucks new maybe if I find an Xh1 for under 700 I just saw an xt30 for four hundred bucks . You have an opinion on which sensor adapted well with manual lenses. Fuji sensors can be hit-and-miss with that sometimes for example I have a great. 35 mm German lens amazing on a Sony a7 but for some reason that lens just does not transfer well to fuji sensor

[@tomislavmiletic_]

I ordered the X-H1 the day it was discontinued, got it two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. That being said, I own X-T2 and didn't feel the need to upgrade...

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah i agree. I upgraded mainly due to the video features of the X-T3 with a gimbal, but use the X-H1 more haha

[@luwisazarcon9]

I own xt100. Do u think upgrading to xh1 is worth it?

[@tomislavmiletic_]

@@luwisazarcon9 For me, it would be, any day of the week. Course XT100 is a cool little camera, but not so great for (serious) video. Yet XH1 is significantly bigger and heavier, so it will come down to your preferences...

[@matthewstorerphotography]

If you have the money I would consider it for sure

[@Jidccruz]

I've got the X-T3, but do you think it's wise to "downgrade" to X-H1? I don't have a lens with OIS so I think the IBIS will help me for home made family videos handheld. XT3 is very snappy and it makes my 35 f1.4 so fast. Will I miss that AF when i switch to XH1?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Personally if you are used to the X-T3, I would look at saving the money and selling the body off and going to the X-T4. I use that camera day in day out and for me it's the perfect blend to make Fujifilm goodness!

[@Jidccruz]

@@matthewstorerphotography thanks, but X-T4 is quite expensive for me. I'm always going the used route, so I got this XT3 on a great deal. If I'm too sell it and switch to an XH1, I'll have extra cash maybe for another prime.

[@СупСуп-р9в]

Hi ! Is the XH-1 very slow compared to the XT-3?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Depends what youll be using it for I guess?

[@johndoe12603]

I love the large hand grip and the silky smooth quiet shutter release button on the X-H 1. Also the info screen on top of the camera is just a wonderful add on!

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah have to agree the ergonomics and layout of this camera is just fantastic!

[@6042833]

Look like I'm not the only person who prefer Fuji xh1. I hardly ever use my xt3. I really don't like xt3 body feels uncomfortable in my hands. I notice that xh1 got much much brighter viewfinder. On overall match better build quality. Fuji xt3 only got better eye face detect, and that's it everything else is the same.. and you forgot to mention that Fuji xh1 got awesome Trigger. Really you could not compare those to camera xh1 is much much better.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah I 100% agree I am more using my X-T1 and X-H1 these days.... haha what a concept

[@matango1979]

XT3 has a much better viewfinder. Zoom in as much as possible and compare what you see in both. BTW the XT4 could replace both cameras.

[@robbybred5702]

Great video. I thought X h1 mainly because the grip and stabilization , since me hands shaky as hell. I've got a question though ..Some say the firing button somewhat problematic due to it's sensitivity..people often taking shots by mistake... say is it so??

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Mhmm I would say the more you use it the better. I prefer it because when taking images I am using it like a photojournalist. Therefore it works wonders!

Have you looked into the X-S10 may be a better option for you :D

[@palamj2]

Just found your great video. Have owned both (still have X-H1) and without a doubt the X-H1 wins hands down. The deep grip, shutter, solid feel, IBIS and the top display window. My X-T3 was sold 6 months ago.

[@kylegoodall310]

Which is best for portrait-events and lowlight? Thanks

Hey Matt, were you shooting this video in F-Log? I found the shadows quite grainy. I have an XT3 myself and always find this to be the case when shooting in log so I end up bringing the blacks down to hide it.

Matthew, how would you compare the X-H1 vs. X-H4? I am looking for a camera that can provide both video and photo shooting versatilities from Fuji. I had my eyes on the X-H1 (tempted by the current battery handle bundle promo running in my country), but the guy at the shop try to sell me on the specs. of X-T4. I am an amateur photographer who loves to do mostly urban/street photo/video shooting. I use a Ricoh GR3 as a daily go to, but is now looking for something a bit more. Always been looking at picking up a Fuji camera. Any comments or recommendations will be highly appreciated. Cheers.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

I will do a video on this some day but I really enjoy the X-T4 yes its a lot more money but the newer sensor, IBIS and functions inside are perfect for me to just have 1 camera when I travel. Nothing wrong with the X-H1, infact if I was just using it for casual photography and travel video I would be more than happy to just use the X-H1

[@josephlai1078]

@@matthewstorerphotography I ended up getting the X-T4. Absolutely loved it. It is my first Fuji, so I went out for a day using all auto setting to get used to it first. Love the kit lens 16mm - 80mm Very versatile for urban/street photography when I can't get too close to the subject. Also picked up a 23mm prime lens. Haven't use it much yet. Thanks for the feedback.

[@SlotCarNewsOfficial]

So... I'm trying a borrowed XT3 and I don't like it nearly as much as my XH1 that I own. I don't like the too-small-grip on the XT3. I don't like the position of the AF-On button on the XT3. I don't feel it's that much faster AF. I don't think it's that much higher quality in low light compared to the XH1. I shoot a lot of sports in poorly lit gyms, mostly High School sports for local newspapers. The XT3 doesn't feel any better in any aspect and in some (like the ergonomics) it's WAY less comfortable to carry/hold/AF because of the grip and button placement. I have recently shot the XH1 in the same gym I just used the XT3 in last night. I can't tell much difference between jpegs shot on either camera during recent games. Both games shot at 1/500 f2.8 (with 16-55 and 50-140) available light at ISO3200. There's not much to choose between either camera in this light. So not only am I sticking with my XH1 but i might wait to see what Fuji releases soon (an XT4 is rumored). Unless the XT4 has a bigger grip and better button placement I might buy a second XH1... and since they are now a real bargain used, I could even buy a good used XH1 for probably half the cost of a new Xt3 anyway! I enjoyed the video. I just found your channel doing a search for Fuji videos. I've followed you and I look forward to your videos.- DK

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah i totally agree. Will be interesting to see what the X-T4 delivers

[@tonyelsom]

Interesting Matt. I can see why you came to the conclusion on the XH1, but answer this. If you had the 16 80 lens that has OIS would you go for the Xt3 or even have two xt3 bodies ? I have shot as low as 1/8 th second on 16 80 lens but probably more realistically 1/15 th will get you a consistently sharp image. I think the XT4 may be the answer, but it is not feasible to purchase every new model released particularly if you are a Professional and need to get some sort of monetary reward for outlaying some serious dollars.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Hey Tony! Thanks for this question that is really hard to answer! :P HAHAHA... It's a hard comment for me to answer, because the perfect camera I want has to cover my professional and youtube lifestyle. Which is super hard, but with the talk around the X-T4 it could have everything answered, better battery life, flippy screen, IBIS and AF performance of the X-T3! I have considered the 16-80mm over and over again. Have a few vlogs coming up about this, have done a few things that I thought would help, but didnt so will be looking elsewhere - this may be the solution!

[@tonyelsom]

@@matthewstorerphotography Keep the videos coming Matt they create a a lot of thought. You know even with the perfect camera ( I agree with all those shortcomings of the xt3) I don't think any of us will shoot better images, just may do it without the cursing when the battery goes into the red at a crucial moment or you start fumbling with that bloody screen in the dark. You are welcome to borrow my 16 80 but tracking you down somewhere in the world would be " Mission Impossible"

[@netroman28]

Always the X-H1 because, not only great quality but always the IBIS. Although I do have a tripod I find myself taking more shots handheld (due to normally on the go) and so the IBIS allows me to take shots at a slower shutter speed when it starts to get low in light while still maintaining the lower iso

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yes I agree. The X-H1 is such an underrated lens even today!

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

X-H1 for the win. Rugged body. It’s the only camera I’ve ever dropped and I picked it up and kept shooting - it didn’t miss a beat. And as you said ergos and IBIS. I’d prefer the T3 AF for sports, but again the H1 ergos make it easier to hold the 50-140 and bigger lenses.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah agree, if the X-H1 had what the X-T3 it would be a real winner still! Interesting to see if the X-H2 is on the future plans or what the X-T4 brings

For real estate photography, I'm always using a tripod with a wide-angle lens such as 10-24mm, but is X-H1 will be good for me??

[@simonhodges6084]

In the UK at the moment the XH-1 body with grip + two extra batteries is £889. The grip retails as £240 so the XH-1 is coming in at around £640 compared to the X-T3 which is £1,249 body only. A pro quality camera with IBIS for half the price of the X-T3! Its a no brainer.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

100% but I find so many people just dont see it, think the X-H1 is a super camera once you own it, but when you dont and compare them on paper people just 'think' the X-T3 will suit there needs!

[@simonhodges6084]

@@matthewstorerphotography Thanks for the reply Matthew. I have an X-T2 at the moment which I bought about 3 months before the X-T3 was announced. Fuji is announcing three new products in February and I think one of them is the X-H2 and not an X-T4. If it turns out that the X-H2 or X-T4 is just an X-H1 with the same sensor etc as the T3 then I will upgrade my X-T2 to the X-H1 as I have the 16-55mm F2.8 and some legacy Yashica prime lenses and IBIS would be good for all of those. The new camera will have to offer significant improvements to tempt me over the X-H1 and X-T3 to persuade me to buy into it at £1750 - £2000 body only.

[@Vikingdescendent]

X H1 sells now in Jan 2020 for $1,500 Canadian body only. It sold for $1,200 with the grip 6 months ago, but I selected the X T3 for it superior specs, processor and it's superb focus and video capability.

[@simonhodges6084]

​@@Vikingdescendent Currently in the UK once one factors in the cost of the grip and two extra batteries the X-H1 body is effectively selling for £200 or $340 less than the X-T30 body let alone the X-T3.

Thank you! Upgrading from an XT1 soon and I think H1 is best value buy. Seen it go for as low as $900 with Grip and two extra batteries. that's a steal! Looking to do more video, and one thing keeping me peeking on the horizon for the T4 is the hope that they can do a better implementation of the stills to video switch, with say a physical toggle while retaining custom settings on either side of the switch. How do you find moving from video to stills and vice versa on these current bodies ?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yes, I totally agree I hate the Fuji system that it can be changed from Video to Images really quickly. That is one HUGE upgrade that I would love to see in the X-T4. Especially so many cameras can have RAW, JPEG, 24fps & 120fps on different customs settings. That would be a huge improvement for me!

[@philandhar]

Thanks so much for the Video Matthew I enjoyed your comparison of the two bodies. It does really come down to the user and what the it is used for mostly. I myself do more photography than video. I have recently switched from the Sony A7ii full frame. I have a Nikon Full frame and thought that I do not need two cameras that are Full Frame. I have the X-H1 and have loved every moment that I have spent shooting with it. I did a family photoshoot just last month, my first with it. Was able to go low down and using the Eterna simulation I found that I really had very little editing that I had to do with it. I must add although I had some form of issue with the camera giving an error message telling me to switch off the camera and switch it back on. I sent it back to the retailer that I bought it from and FujiFilm did not blink twice and gave me a brand new replacement without any questions.

Yeah that sounds good! The X-h1 is fantastic for that - The X-H1 is lacking in Video aspects which is why I needed to upgrade. However, just a photographer is fine with the X-H1 :)

[@scotty4418]

Not a fuji shooter as you know Matt, but from your comparison and if it was a one camera trip then the X-H1 seems to offer the versatility to meet needs of images and video. Can recall you had you hands on a Sony a while back and was wondering with the battery life of the Fuji being something you highlighted in this episode, how did it compare to the Sony?

XT3. Its slightly larger than my x100F so I can still be fairly stealthy with it. Im sure some guys need a bigger, more professional kit, but for me staying low key always wins. The camera will outperform my abilities and ibis means nothing to me in all fairness. Its been said many times before but lens are the better investment anyways. There are plenty of videos of guys making amazing videos with entry level cameras like the T3 series Canons so I would say learn the craft and buy whatever camera looks cool and you can afford.

Shooting full electronic now because of shutter shock issues, unless I need to use flash. The shutter shock in general is weird, even with faster shutter speeds. Could be me or the camera missing focus though as well, I need to start using manual focus ASAP. I just don’t know why I get some bad shots from time to time, drives me crazy!

I have both and I mostly shoot videos on a tripod so I always go with the xt3 as an A cam. That extra bit rate, on camera zebras, and h265 really does make a difference for me. The xh1 is an excellent b camera and the ibis really helps it excel at that. If Fuji would just hurry up and release the xh-2 with everything the xt3 has and raw video, I would drop all my Sony stuff. Sony and full frame is awesome but I never got over the color science. There are still clips that I have that are unusable due to that. I’ve never had that happen with Fuji.

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Totally understand where you are coming from! I use the X-T3 as much as possible but for me on a gimbal. If the X-H1 had a few upgrades then most of the things inside the goodness of the X-T3 it would be perfect! Do you think Fuji will release the X-H2 though?

[@Goose619]

Matthew Storer I know it’s rumored to be discontinued but if they really listened to the market, they would see the bigger body is preferred by us. I personally wouldn’t get rid of my xh1 if they made an xt4 with ibis. I’d get rid of the xt3. That’s says a lot about how much I like the form factor. It’s just comfortable to use. I’d love a zebra update on the xh1 though! Do you think we’ll see any firmware updates at least? It’s a shame that the xh1 released with the worst firmware of all their lineup.

@@matthewstorerphotography Well, I'm a amateur landscape and travel photographer. I used to shoot film and loved it, but when I transitioned to digital I lost some of my enthusiasm. Then 2 years ago I bought a Fuji x100f and again started loving photography. I am now chomping at the bit to get out and shoot with a camera that gives me some focal length options. Like you, I like traveling as light as possible so I've been resisting buying into the full frame Nikon or Sony systems. Both are great but for me they just don't measure up to the "soul" and feel of a Fuji. It is very much like buying a Yamaha Star motorcycle vs. a Harley Electra glide. The Yamaha has better specs, but the Harley has more personality. And really, I don't feel I'm giving up that much performance with the Fuji 24 megapixel crop sensor. I've blown up images I've taken with my x100f to 48" x 30" and I'm really happy with them. Your video helped me to make a decision.

So, between your video and my photographer buddy whacking me over the head telling me to just get some damn glass and get to shooting.... I've been taking pictures since I was 10 years old. but only recently decided to start taking it bit more seriously. The 18-135mm is worth its wieght in gold. Not the sharpest tool in the shed but damn dude, talk about one lens to rule them all ? I've been putting the lens through it paces, Overcast, direct sunlight, Indoors, I'll get a Tripod to try some low light bits.. Over all the 18-135 is like having 3 lenses in one. Or at least two. I can't understand why FujiFilm cameras aren't more expensive by at least %35. They destroy pretty much any other APS-C out there and are even in the running with a few Full Frame Cameras. The fit and finish is unrivaled. Thanks.

Hello Michael thanks so much for the kind words! I have never used the combo before but I have read numerous times that the AF performance in the X-T3 does help old slower lenses such as the 56mm 1.2. I own both bodies and I would suggest the xt3 if AF is a priority :)

The T3 might be a little more accurate because it is newer, but it probably won't be any faster. Great lens tho! Edit: The T3 will be faster than the H1, to varying degrees, on more modern Fuji glass. How much faster, and if you need that speed, is up to you to decide.

Thank you so much! Thats really nice to hear :D have a nice day!

[@heinrichbandat389]

No problem 👍

Excellent video! Question: how's eye af in the H1? I keep reading the T3 hits it better (but not as good as Sony).

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Thanks so much! The X-H1 doesn't have eye AF because it's the older sensor compared to the X-T3. But agree the Sony has mastered this with the accurate eye AF

@@matthewstorerphotography thx! Subbed to your channel :)

[@matthewstorerphotography]

@@migflowers No problem, thanks for the support appreciate it!

@@matthewstorerphotography The X-H1 can track either left or right eye, or just faces. It's in the menu: AF>FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING>FACE ON/EYE OFF or FACE ON/EYE AUTO and you can choose left or right eye. I haven't used it much or really spent too much time in AF setting menu.. I suspect a lot of others haven't either and that might be why they think the H1 is slow to AF. Fuji's face/eye detect isn't as good as Sony's. But it's still pretty good.

[@tobyblackman9986]

What about x-t3 but with a lens with iOS?

[@matthewstorerphotography]

It's so much better espically the XF 16-80mm

[@tobyblackman9986]

That's the lens I was thinking about. Thanks 👍

Small 'b' = bits, big 'B' = Bytes. The data rates are in bits per second not bytes. 400 Mega bits per second not 400 Mega Bytes per second.

Ahh yeah cheers sorry typo!

[@alexanderreyes8513]

Xh1 ..ibis is a plus, the handle and made in japan xD

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Love it :D

[@ztilan]

Sorry, But I would prefer the XT-3 , better performance in all parameters. most of Fuji lessens has IOS as well the fact that the XT-3 I'm using constantly with battery grip that solve both issues of battarie life and has excellent ergonomics

[@matthewstorerphotography]

Yeah totally get that for sure, I mean once the X-T4 comes out it will wipe away the X-H1 completely pretty much! Just a great price pointed camera

[@adiprasetya2261]

in several condition, XH1 IBIS becomes game changer. Especially when we're shooting portrait with Non-Ois lense like Xf 90mm f2.0 in very low light condition or driving on off road car.
