The Fujifilm X-H1 pairs a 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor with a revised X-Processor Pro. It produces high-quality images with excellent image-noise, sharpness, wide dynamic-range and white-balance.

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.

"Ultimately, Fuji has here crafted a wonderful all-rounder that masters almost any situation and could easily last you for years."

While the new Fujifilm X-H1 is the best-specced, best-performing X-series camera to date, curiously we feel that it doesn't quite have the widest appeal, both within the Fujifilm eco-system and the camera market as a whole.

Fujifilm's new X-Series flagship offers a lot to photographers who appreciate the company's traditional camera styling, with manually adjustable lens aperture rings and shutter speed and ISO dials.

This is one of the best, if not the best ASP-C camera on the market. If you liked the Fuji X-T2 image quality you will of course like this camera as they share identical sensors. For those who don't normally shoot raw, the jpegs are fantastic SOOC.

  Excellent image quality. Very good ergonomics.

  Heavier than the X-T2 and Sony a7ii. Battery could be better.

Introduction The Fujifilm X-H1 launch has come and gone and I have had my hands on one for a little while now. It's the most expensive APSC camera developed by Fujifilm to date and also the first one to feature IBIS.

I can only echo the previous reviewers comments , and add that, this Fuji camera, coupled with the excellent 16 - 55mm zoom, is a superb all-rounder. The build quality is also fantastic and the handling is superb.

Amazing camera, and ibis helps non stabilised lenses shoot at lower shutter speeds handheld much more at ease over its predecessors. Quiet, smooth shutter. Feels amazing with or without grip.

Looking for a faster focussing camera for wildlife photography that needs to be a silent as possible I compared the X-H1 with a competitor DSLR. The Fuji is lighter, quieter and faster! The top screen makes setting so much easier and the dials are well laid out.

  Durable, Great Features, Great Picture Quality, Simple Controls

One word, IBIS - it's truly effective and alone worth upgrading to from the XT2. Yes, it's heavier but the new grip makes the added weight a non-factor.

An amazing pro grade mirror-less APS-C camera. Fujifilm are known for their quality and this is about as rugged as they get. A worthy upgrade to the XT2 because although it uses the same sensor, the IQ has been tweeked, as has the AF and along with the extra thick body plates, the included IBIS is...
