Additional Fuji X-H1 camera details


I received some additional information on the upcoming Fuji X-H1 camera:

  • The Fuji X-H1 is currently being tested
  • It resembles the Fuji GFX camera: it has a control layout almost identical to it, but the size is smaller like that of the Fuji X-T2 (see above mockup)
  • It is targeted towards the video crowd with in-camera stabilization and the ability to record at 120fps 1080 (4k fps will be lower)
  • The low light capabilities are supposed to be on par with the Sony a7s (ISO 409,600?)

Here are the previously reported Fujifilm X-H1 specs from FujiAddict:

  • IBIS
  • Expected in February 2018
  • Max framerate 4K: 30fps, in HD: 120fps
  • Higher quality video than X-T2
  • Exposure compensation button instead of exposure compensation dial
  • Sub monochrome top LCD screen
  • Fujifilm WP-126s battery
  • Much bigger and deeper hand grip
  • Same processor as X-T2
  • Dust and weather-resistant body
  • Hybrid camera for both videographers and photographers
  • Price: between $1,900 and $2,200
