Fujifilm X-H2s vs X-H1: Which Camera Should You Get for photography?

Fujifilm X-H1 still holds its own in comparison to the new Fujifilm X-H2s.

I think the X-H1 actually has the x-trans iii sensor, but anyway, thank you for the good comparison. For me personally, I'm fine with my X-H1 and plan to use it for years to come.

Did he just say mega pickle at 1:15 or did I hear it wrong? lol

Having recently retired from professional photography I decided to skip the X-H2s and X-T5, and am still using my X-T2 and X-H1. They do everything I ask for :)

There is no problem with the second card slot, I bought a 256 GB recommended card on sale for the same price as a good SD card. I had the X-H1 and enjoyed it, sold it to my brother. I upgraded to the X-T4 and it was measurably better than the H1 in autofocus. Sold the T4 for the X-H2S, UNREAL upgrade to the autofocus from the T4. This makes a huge difference in keepers for photography. When I look at the older pictures I shot from previous X-Trans cameras a lot are ever so slightly off focus (not enough to ruin the shot), 99% of the X2S shots are perfectly focused. I like ALL of the Fuji cameras, but operating the X-H2S is like using a cheat code. LOVE IT!

Good comparison and great samples. But a quick correction, the X-H1 (X-T2) have the X-Trans III sensor (not 2).
But I'm so glad to hear you mention the problem with the 2nd card slot on the X-H2(s)!
I mentioned that on my "why I'm not upgrading to the X-H2s" video.

The clunking noise that was mentioned in the x-h1 is totally normal and is related to the image stabilization mechanism. Nothing to worry about. I love my xh1 and was disappointed to see Fuji eliminate the multiple control dials for a PASM dial. There are great deals on the xh1 and for the difference in upgrade price you can buy some really nice glass and in my opinion a better investment.

I bought the XH1 with battery grip a couple years ago and love it. Haven’t had time to shoot it much due to work, but I will only buy another Fuji if IBIS is part of Fuji camera. The XH2 isn’t compelling enough for me to upgrade

Great comparison. I used to own the X-H1 and sold it for a LUMIX S5. Now that the X-H2 is out, I'm seriously considering selling my S5 and replacing it with the X-H2. I'm a photographer, so I don't really care about the video capabilities of any camera. Don't get me wrong, the S5 is a solid camera but having L-mount lenses is a pain because I can't use them on any other camera. 60% of my lenses are M mount and with adapters, it's easy to use them all on my Leica, Fujifilm, and LUMIX cameras.

The only problem I see from a photography standpoint with the X-H2/2s is it not having two SD slots. I see the advantage for CF Express if you're shooting video but not for photography. I might have to take another look at the X-T4 because of it. I do miss my X-H1 though. Solid camera for photography.

I am considering a XH1 as the price for a used one is getting so attractive. As i do mostly still photos, i wonder if the IBIS on XH1 worth buying? Actually, I've got many manual lens😂.

[alldreamsmedia]

Just the DR and sensor readout speed won me over to the xh2s. Xh1 definitely still has a place in the market.

Thank you for this video, man. You got a new subscriber.

[TopshelfJunior]

Dope video !!! Might pick up an X-H1 for a second / backup body. Sidenote: where did you get the leather dual strap / camera holder ?!

[smoloms]

if i ever get more into the video side of things i will upgrade from my xh1. But even then the xt4 exists as a good step up. Or if i just wanna take my photography even further the xh2 and xt5 are around

[J-Young_photography]

The XH1 overheating issue is quite serious. just 30 minutes of shooting, you will feel the heat.

[Endogamy]

Why they removed the push in button option?? So how do you zoom in for manual focusing?

[eugenetv]

I love my xh1 and my xt20, , but my xt2 and my xt1 is my favorite...

[本來旺]

Any idea to compare XH1 vs XT-3? Thank you .

[philippemariloussian]

I have the X-H1 and love it even I struggled with the release button, but now when I shake it a bit it make a weird clunky noise, not sure if the fan moving or the stabilizer, still take pics….😅.
Does anybody got the same clunky thing, shake it and let me know please.

[DJAnamaly]

Thank you for sharing.

I must ask, which harness are you using to holster your cameras?
