Fujifilm X-H1
The X-H1 is an impressive addition to Fujifilm's X-Series of mirrorless cameras, featuring several ground-breaking features designed to meet the requirements of the more serious photographer.
Steady As You Go
A great photo needs a solid, shake-free foundation and the X-H1 helps you achieve that. In a first for an X Series camera, the X-H1 features in-body image stabilization for clear shots particularly with settings where camera shake can be a problem e.g. slow shutter speed or long focal length.
Updated Video
In another enhancement, video recording on the X-H1 has been updated. It now includes DCI/CINE-4K video recording for incredibly clear and detailed footage.
A Touch Of Hollywood
The X-H1 is the first in the X-Series to feature ETERNA. This mode gives your footage a cinematic feel, particularly with the way you view colours and shadows, and also gives you lots of ways to express yourself creatively during post-processing.
An Amazing Viewfinder
Many serious photographers prefer to take shots with their eye right on the viewfinder. The X-H1 makes this experience something special with an ultra-high resolution of its viewfinder plus 100% coverage of the frame.
Brilliant But Tough
The robust new body design on the X-H1 makes this camera the toughest of the X-Series models, thanks to 25% thicker magnesium alloy and 94 weather-sealed points.
Shot After Shot After Shot
The NP-W126S lithium-ion battery in the X-H1 delivers up to 310 frames per charge when used in normal mode.
A newer model Fujifilm X-H2S was released in June 2022.

Fujifilm XH1 review
The Fujifilm X-H1 is the new flagship in the mirrorless X-series. It takes the X-T2 with its 24 Megapixel APSC X-Trans III sensor and adds built-in stabilisation (a first in the X-series), a touch-screen, tougher build, a bigger grip, enhanced movie features, a more detailed viewfinder, and...

Fujifilm X-H1 Review
The Fujifilm X-H1 camera adds in-body stabilization to the X series and offers loads of tools for both photographers and videographers. We've recommended the Fujifilm X-T2 as our Editors' Choice in the high-end APS-C mirrorless camera category since it was introduced. Now it has a more premium sibling, the X-H1 ($1,899, body only), which uses the same sensor, but adds in-body stabilization and more serious video features. There are some ergonomic changes, as well including a deeper handgrip and the omission of an EV control dial. The X-H1 carries a $300 premium over the X-T2, and is close in price to the $1,999 full-frame Sony a7 III, which is just as capable in many ways. But if you've decided that the APS-C sensor size is a better fit for you, the X-H1 is the best option in its price bracket, and our Editors' Choice. Design The X-H1 doesn't look much different from the X-T2 at first glance. It's finished in black (we'll have to wait and see if it receives the Graphite Silver special edition treatment that Fujifilm has given to other marquee models), and is just slightly bigger all around, with a noticeably large...

Fujifilm X-H1
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.
Pros:
- 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,...
Cons:
- 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

I 'm not entirely happy. It's significantly heavier than the X-T2 and burns ...
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 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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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 Fujifilm X-H1 is a great camera for shooting videos thanks to its variety of resolutions, frame rates, bit rates, film simulations, and aspect ratios, not to mention 5-axis IBIS and features like F-Log.
Pros:
- Intended and designed for videographers and filmmakers, the X-H1 can shoot 4K video and offers a number of shooting modes, aspect ratios, and slow motion options
- It also has the 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), the cinematic Eterna film simulation, and an F-Log Gamma option for wider...
Cons:
- One of the biggest letdowns we found in the X-H1 is its autofocus
- It's not that it's bad, but for the price, we expected more
- In fact, shooting a moving subject at AF-C almost always yields more than a couple of unfocused shots.

Fujifilm X-H1 Review
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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Face detection AF can be unreliable
- Some audio bugs using external microphones
