The Fujifilm X-H1 takes a proven 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor and fits it on a state-of-the-art 5-axis image-stabilization mechanism. While it falls short of the 5½ stops claimed in specifications, it delivers a solid 2½ stops of improvement over hand-holding any other Fujifilm mirrorless.

Very low image noise up to ISO 3200; Wide dynamic-range; Reliable metering; Natural rendition of image colors; Excellent automatic white-balance; Instant shutter-lag with virtually no blackout; Fluid ultra-sharp EVF; Continuous AF at 14 FPS; Plenty of direct controls; Instant video response,...

Occasional autofocus misses; Limited stabilization; Not Exposure-Priority; Incorrect histogram in Live-View; Complicated Shutter-Speed control; Stacked dials move too easily; Slow shot-to-shot speed; Very short battery-life; Quite bulky; Pricey; Soft aperture detents With all current XF-mount lenses

The Fujifilm XH-1, the latest incarnation in the popular X-series, isn't the successor to the popular X-T2 but it is the new X-series flagship. That said, the XH-1 is a somewhat confusing mirrorless beast.

Great autofocus; Solid; tough build; Great photos in JPEG; Very good touchscreen LCD; Good operating system; Top LCD screen

The X-H1 is Fujifilm's most powerful and most refined camera yet. It is clearly the result of thoughtful work, a result of taking the time to get things right - at least, most things. But the X-H1 is hitting the market at the same time as many other impressive cameras.

Impressively well designed and built; 5-axis in-body image stabilization; Cinema 4K video at 200Mbps; 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder; Eterna film simulation

Face detection AF can be unreliable; Some audio bugs using external microphones

FujiFilm X-H1 review: The FujiFilm X-H1 is not ordinary camera, it is a flagship mirrorless camera which tries to show what can be achieved in the realm of digital photography.

I have an X-T2 but wanted the X-H1 primarily for the in-body image stabilization (IBIS). Several of my Fujinon lenses do not have OIS (optical image stabilization) and I thought this would be a way to get more hand-held use from those lenses.

The loss of the Exposure Compensation Dial was a bit oversight, but the location of the Q-Quick Menu button is a constant bugbear. Wish I had waited for the lighter, better designed XT-3!

Build quality

Bulky

The X-H1 is Fujifilm's most technically advanced mirrorless camera yet and makes it easier than ever to produce stellar images. The new 5-axis stabilization works very well to reduce blurry shots, and the EVF is simply the best you can find on an APS-C camera.

Great RAW and JPEG image quality Sharp DCI 4K video with little moire or aliasing; Solid weather-resistant build; Good autofocus for both video and photos; 5-axis image stabilization works well for still and video shooting

Big heavy body that Fujifilm fans might not like; Lacks exposure compensation dial; Autofocus doesn't work well outside the phase-detect zone; Limited battery life; Video shooting times limited to 15 minutes; No built-in headphone jack

The addition of in-camera stabilization will make the X-H1 immediately attractive to X-system photographers, even those who aren't necessarily likely to make much use of its video features.

The X-H1 is a camera able to adapt to a wide variety of shooting situations, with excellent image quality, very good video performance and solid autofocus performance. As usual, the camera's color in its JPEGs and movie footage is one of the highlights. Our only real concern is the camera's failure to excel in any respect, especially in the light of the competition available at this price.
