Lovely video!

Nice video I shoot with X-T3 and X100 VI (and a colleague uses an X-T5) I was in no rush to upgrade from the X-T3 and it is definitely not about image quality, although the 40MP sensor is better, the 5th gen processor is more important unless you are really going to crop away lots of the frame. Having said that, the X100VI is almost a perfect camera for me, and i could do all my professional work on it if i needed to. I'm not in the market for a new camera, however if fuji released an "X-T4 Pro" (X-T4 but with 5th gen processor, same combo as X-S20) , that would be an almost ideal camera for me.

What recipe you use for these shots?

love my 17-70 2.8 👏🏻

I own this lens for 2 weeks and can’t say better. Sharp, light, affordable, well built, great coverage for one lens, good performer. Sold the 16-80f4 and do not regret it at this point. Only a side note that it may be important for some and I do not see much info about it: my XT-5 gets like from 2 to 4 seconds delay to became ready when power on with this lens than other Fujifilm lenses. Thought it was a copy issue, went back to the store. Tested 3 more lenses and did the same. Tested 2 more separate XT-5 and did the same. Concluded that is some sort of lens test when power on, I can hear motors inside or the VR. Not a deal breaker but for street photography sometimes is annoying to have to wait more a few seconds and loose a shot or to try to be always ahead remembering that the camera needs between like between 2 to 4 seconds. It’s not exactly always the same amount of time, cannot figure out what influences that too. I have the last firmware 2.0.1. I would buy this lens again knowing this. As I’ve said it’s not a deal breaker to me. I use the lens for events and travel photography, I can manage the delay on this type of situation, for street photography sometimes I rather use primes so I thought is just a fact to mention that may be important to someone. Nice review BTW.

Excellent video 😮!

Totally agree with everything you've said in this video. I've loved the Tamron since owning it over the past year. Fantastic for video as you said and it can also be used for such a wide variety of genres (landscape, portraits, events sport up close, travel products and probably a couple more). Superb lens!

The colour is superb fuji ofcourse.

Congrats man! 👍😊 Very nice video. I think your choice was a great one, and I'm not just talking about the lens 😄 Speaking about Tamron, the VC is a huge advantage if you don't have IBIS. A great zoom lens in a good price range 👌

I really want a 35mm - 100mm F/2.8 for Fuji I have the wide covered, it is the mid-telephoto passed 56mm I am lacking. (as far as wider apertures) The use case is when i am photographing a show from the back of a theatre, 35mm covers the entire stage where 100mm allows to isolate individual people. The fuji 50mm to 140 is not wide enough and is big heavy and expensive meaning i have to carry 2 cameras and two lenses requiring someone else to work with me. I just don't think that 70mm is long enough, I may rent it before the next job, to test it

End of 2024 and I still use the X T1 might get the X T6 when it comes out but the only real thing that would be useful to me is the IBIS as I am old and do have to shoot at 1/500 ISO 400 f5.6 to f11.0 with the 16mm 23mm 35mm lenses to stop camera shake on occasion I shoot wide open but only to maximize separation of the subject. Largest prints are 8×10 most are cropped to 6x6 that's just my favorite format call me crazy.

Watched 3 Xh1 videos of yours. I just subscribed.

Great video

In a moment of weakness-maybe after seeing your video-I bought the XH1 from KEH at $733 and fell in love with it. Yes, it’s big and heavy but also built for a hard life. I paid $1650 for my XT5 so I did not "need" the XH1. strangely, I’ve thought about selling the XT5 and keeping the XH1, because it is just a fantastic camera and I never quite fell in love with the XT5 the way I did with the XH1. So, if you don’t need the latest gear, this camera still ticks all the boxes.

Since I no longer have the extra dough to get something jazzier, I feel lucky to have this camera. The quick and dirty stuff is always perfect when I put my 16-50 3.5 on it. (I have the 16mm 14., the 90mm 2.0, the 23mm 2.0, and about 15 vintage lenses) I always get sharp pics with no blur from shooting at 1/60 or 1/30th using the 16-50 3.5. It's center sharp ness is perfect. Having a combo IBIS and OIS in the camera and lens gives me a lot of confidence. The quiet shutter and light touch is something you simply get used to if it's your only camera. Funny, I never use the touch screen, but some users out there have shown me reasons to use it for better Auto focus. I bought the camera with battery grip for 700 in person. One thing has gone wrong.. one of the card slots doesn't hold onto the card anymore. Never snaps in. Different cards, same problem. That's pretty spooky, as all it takes is one more slot, and well, I don't have the dough to repair it. I also have an X-M1, but you can forget how to use it after a couple years with another body. And it's not a good video camera..maybe fine if you go manual focus. In any case, go get one of the Minolta 50, 55, 58 mm 1.4 lenses.. even the 1.7. (that's the best lens deal on ebay) They'll hook you fast. I like to set my white balance to auto, then move past the white balance to the dot screen, and move my dot four points to the right and four points down. This warms up all my shots, and I keep it there 100 percent of the time. Try it.I still have things to learn about the X-H1. Too bad i walk with a cane, and a back pillow for lousy cafe chairs in a tote bag. It really has cut down my desire to take the camera out.

Still a big issue a year later.

i sold mine 2 years ago which I regretted that so now Im buying a gently used second hand one.

I have the same issue with the autofocus on my X-T5 and mysterious green box. My patience is running out.

Silly thing I learned about the XH1. I put the camera down and didn’t pick it up for a while. The battery died. The LCD screen on the top plate stays on all the time. I can’t figure out how to turn it off. Solution-take the battery out of the camera when not in use. I like IBIS. When not doing video clips I don’t need it. I short in the day at ss of 1/250-1/500. Still, a nice feature to have. Your advice about buying used is very sound. A very important question to ask yourself is what features do you need. The camera manufacturers are in the business of selling us new gear. Right now, there aren’t new innovations so the manufacturers are producing cameras with incremental improvements. We are at the point of diminishing marginal returns. With new cameras we are paying more for less improvements. Cameras that produced good images five or ten years ago continue to produce good images now. They are less expensive than new cameras. The truth is cameras have features we don’t use but we pay for them anyway. Get what you need. Learn how to get the best images out of your camera and be happy with them. Two mantras I have about my gear are use the right tool for the right job and good enough is good enough. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I’m a hobbyist street photographer. I don’t need the latest and greatest gear. I have a lot of Fuji bodies and lenses. I appreciated your XH1 video. I bought it this year by accident. I wasn’t shopping for a XH1. I found a photographer who was leaving Fuji so for $600 I bought the body and three lenses worth $600. I bought the battery grip for $50. It is a chunky body but I like the output. I do some video clips but mostly stills. I love the fujicrons. The 23/2 and 35/2 are my go to lenses. Also use the 50/2. These lenses are small nd lightweight. That is the way I like by lenses and bodies. Then there is the kit lens. Very useful range of focal lengths plus it has OIS. The XT4 is my newest body. I don’t need the 40MP files. I love the Acros film simulation with the red filter. Velvia for color. For what I do old cameras are OK. I use the right tool for the right job. For me, good enough is good enough. I like the Fuji dials and nobs. I like the film sims. I like the size and weight of my gear. I don’t need full frame. I’m not buying any new Fuji gear anytime soon but appreciate what I have. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

You shared some wonderful images. Great advice. I’ve decided on an XH-1 with the 27 and 75 Viltrox lenses. I only shoot stills, I have no interest in video.

I did all the possible firmware updates on my XT5 without any improvement, in the end I sold it and promised myself Fuji NEVER AGAIN

Just another reason I may sell all Fuji and go back to Nikon FF. I like Fuji glass, but AF always below others standards WTF Fuji

I think I have my first camera

Which Fuji camera do you recommend for video production? I had considered the XH1 as a viable option, but after reviewing this video, I am having second thoughts about its suitability for my needs. I would appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.

Unnecessary annoying music. American?

I’ve just been using the XT5 for a couple of weeks and got the same issue! The camera is not fit for purpose and I’m looking to return it! Poor show Fuji!

I use the XH-1 in 2024 with a nikon 200-500 5,6 and Fringer Adapter for wildlife and it love it! Furthermore, I own some good fuji glass as well as some nice vintage lenses - with them, IBIS helps a lot. Without the grip, the battery life is unacceptable in my opinion. Other than that, if you can tolerate that AF and tracking lack precision and tempo to nowadays standards and that the cam lacks 60fps@4k, in terms of quality-price-ration you imho still get a fantastic bang for the buck. It's well built and get's the job done.

Great camera. I have earned over $200,000 in the past 3 years with my X-H1's. Coupled with my 10-24mm zoom or my 56mm f1.2 these X-H1's produce superb images.

If not for the crappy battery and this constant error flickering on my screen that batteries are draining too fast, i would have sticked to xt3.

Bought a XH1 in February/24 for a good Brice. It is an OK camera. I do street photography and this body isn’t the one I choose to carry all day. It is too big and heavy. I prefer the XT30 or XS10. I like the IBIS. The shutter is very sensitive and requires practice using it with the 1/2 press to focus. Haven’t done any video with the XH1 but it is probably OK. The focus for photography is OK. Most of the time it locks on accurately quickly. I love the three way screen. It tilts up & down. Turn the body to portrait and the screen pulls out in the portrait mode. Very nice. This body hasn’t experienced the price inflation many Fuji have. It is a solid camera and worth looking at. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Just bought a new XT5 and a 33 1.4. Extremely disappointed. Your results mirror mine.

I just got an xt3. It would cost me about $155 to trade it in for an xh1. Is it worth it? I’m new to photography and I’m interested in eventually videos

Which software do you use to edit the photos? I'm deciding which system to go mirrorless and one of my options is Fuji, but the raws appears very soft and lacking fine detail when i put them in Lightroom. In comparison Canon and Sony seems to have more fine detail.

Xh1 homie 😁

as a casual photographer, i absolutely LOVE the aperture ring but id love both lenses

Thanks man. Just got one. Lets gerrriiiiiiittttt

Weight doesn't matter to me...I don't think it's that demanding to work with this lens two hours a day once every few days...I am planning to buy one soon..thank you for this great review!

I totally agree, you don't need the latest expensive innovation to make good videos, you rather need the right idea. 👍

I'm looking up for info on this camera, as a guy wants to sell me his. GREAT exposure, bro!! Very matter of fact with meat & potatoes facts! Keep on sharing!!

Is this lens good for manual focusing for video? Does it focus hunt while zooming in/out? I saw reviews and during auto-focus the focus hunting was bad.

Very honest advice.

Does it still has the exposure change issue when zooming in/out?

I bought XH1 when the XH2 came out for cheap. I love this camera. When one of my friends saw the raw photos he bought one as well. I noticed the ebay prices have risen since people are finding out how good this little camera is.

I bought the ,X-T30 II, and after a few months, I got the ,X-H 1. The 30 II, Is now my backup and , H-1 my main.

Thank you for this video. I purchased an XH1 last week for the IBIS. I am a stills shooter and do some video clips. I have ordered the battery grip in excellent condition from MPB. Most videos about this body are five years old. The question I have is about FW updates. I understand the FW updates gave us new features and improved performance. The XH1 with the FW updates is a different animal than the body at release. Might you do a video about this? Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

The focusing motor is stabilized by electro-magnets. When powered off, they disengage, thus the clanking noise and movement.

Thank you for sharing! You definitely pulled the trigged for me, i shoot only stills for events and come from x-t10 that is a wonderful camera but a bit too much in the not professional side. Yet to choose what lenses to pick, i like primes but for paied work i think is better an all arounder. 🤙

My first impression went your way, but there are so many settings that I had never encountered on other brands (not that I know many). The "continuous" focus setting are something else (plus the ability to set your own). The shooting priority that can be set to "when achieving focus only". The power selection (economy, normal and boost). I cannot say that I have tried this myself to validate, but I know the choices in setup are there. My choice in this camera includes the amount of time it is bound to take me to explore its capabilities before I start to get bored. I think I'm good for a long time. But I hope you have sorted your camera problem already. But in the end, not one is perfect, and the choice is always difficult. I think it goes for pretty much everything in life. Maybe we need to learn how to love it, or not.

This was a great and well thought out exposition of what really matters in photography as far as gear goes.
