3 Reason NOT To Get The FujiFilm X H1

3 reasons why the FujiFilm X-H1 may not be the camera for you.

But I believe it is the best camera for real estate photography in 2022! I also believe it is the best camera for photography and videography if you are looking to upgrade from your phone or an entry-level camera. The FujiFilm X-H1 is a great APS-C camera that packs a punch when it comes to photography and videography.

I have had my X-H1 for 4 years! I only use it for still photography, and have installed all of the updates! I have NEVER missed a shot due to slow focus, and still see no need to "upgrade"! Maybe, it's the quality of lenses I use.You clearly bought the X-H1 for video, which you don't seem to clearly point out in your review. For still photography, however, the X-H1 is an excellent choice, that I've found for professional use!

I recently got the X-H1, which is my first FujiFilm camera. I've tried various cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Olympus before, and I quickly spotted the three issues you mentioned in this video. Indeed, those are the main drawbacks, but all in all, it's a good camera. I'm glad you ended the video on a positive note! All the best!

A entry level photographer camera will be a X-T30 or X-t300 not a X-H1. this is a Pro grade camera for Portrait, Landscape, Street, Weddings and more. is very good in al lot. But i see your point if you are semi-pro photographer in 2022 to get the X-H1. but to say it's a beginner camera is to say the x-t3/4, x-pro2/3, Lumix G9, Sony a73 are all beginner camera's. and that is not the case i think. :P

Keep it up with the Dope video's do.!

I love my Fujifilm X-H1 but it’s not perfect especially in the video department when it comes to low light and other things. I think it’s perfect for photography though.

I am a professional photographer and use cameras mainly for photography, not video.
I would not say that the X-H1 is an entry-level camera, but it is a very good camera for professional users! For beginners there are two drawbacks. Firstly, the camera is quite large and heavy compared to other APSC cameras (such as the X-E3/4 or Sony Alpha 6000 series), so I would recommend a smaller camera for beginners to take on trips. Secondly, the camera has quite complex functions and settings, which are perfect for manual configuration, but may be too complex for beginners.
A disadvantage of the camera is the limited battery life, but changing the battery is quick. Secondly, the camera's suitability for video, as it is mainly intended for photography and there are better alternatives for video. I do not understand why most tests focus on the camera's video capabilities. For video I need a completely different setup and lenses than for photography.

Any chance you could expound on the autofocus in a photography/stills aspect? I’m thinking of upgrading from a canon 70D to the X-H1, and am curious about the autofocus. I’ve always heard Fuji is behind the times on it, but worse than Sony isn’t necessarily bad or unusable. But I really like the other aspects of the X-H1, the style of the camera, film simulations, and manual assist features for vintage lenses. If it’s not perfect I can manage that considering I’m using something over a decade old with 19 AF points and no face detect. But I would like something that’s a reasonable upgrade too. Thank you :)

Thanks for the video, got mine with a grip 2 weeks ago.. 1 battery can shoot 8 mins of 4k 24p is that normal?? Another thing is when leaving the charger overnight its the battery in not at 100% its like hitting 100% then gradualy decreasing..whats wrong here?

[PluPerfective]

Just got the X-H1 w/ a Sigma lense 16mm 1.8F, for about 900 in total, like new status. Is that worth it? 750 for the camera, 150 for the lense.

[wingofwinter]

in nikon DLSR you can shot whole week with 1 battery, so whats the point?

[williamgoss]

Great to hv the Negs as well as the Pos; then if u buy u know wot to expect. The older style batts is particularly useful info cos u know there will be extra / extra expense to always b fully charged.
All very useful, thanks Don.

Now you produce this video?

Last week I purchased a XH1. Got a good deal because of the lenses sold with the package. I just purchased the battery grip in excellent condition from MPB because the package didn’t include the grip. I suppose if you are going to do video then the grip would be a good thing to have.

Mixed feelings about the purchase. This body is chunky and more so with the grip. It is also heavier than I like for a full day of street photography. I hope to use the video features for clips. Right now I’m not a big user of video. I’m prepared for this to change.

I got mine boxfresh for 800€ + 1000€ incl. tax for the 16-55 2.8 less than two years ago. Now they go for 650€ used.
That's the absolut max you can get out of 2.8 apsc zoom - sublime noise, image quality. But Battery and Autofocus is really shit. I doubt we get such a bargain on the H2 or H2s (more interesting for lowlight hence the lower resolution/bigger pixels and 2.8 is already a disadvantage in the night but I don't want to go back switching between 3 primes -.- like I did on my olympus m4/3).
On X-H2 I dislike the missing classic dials. I like the new implemented standard dials though. X-T5 will be too compact to be comfy for one hand handling just like the X-T4.
Comparing the price and having lost it's key feature one could go for full frame 4.0 to keep it weight and size comparable...
I think I will keep it for quite a while. Found this randomly cause I was looking for hooking it up to the wall outlet and use it as a webcam.

I use a rigged setup for my H1 using a v-lock battery, so even if the batteries don't have a long life, i don't care 👍

[lostcreators]

Super dope content as always! I am very sentimental over my XH1 however with the new cameras from Fuji, the XT3's and XT4's will be very attractive on the used market with noticeably more updated specs. I doubt I will sell mine, but i think it's time to consider the Xt4.
