Fujifilm X-H1

Impressively well designed and built ; 5-axis in-body image stabilization ; Cinema 4K video at 200Mbps ; 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder ; Eterna film simulation

Face detection AF can be unreliable ; Some audio bugs using external microphones

The addition of in-camera stabilization will make the X-H1 immediately attractive to X-system photographers, even those who aren't necessarily likely to make much use of its video features. However, slotting-in as a higher-end model above the X-T2 puts...

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.

Benefits from In Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) ; Introduces Flicker Reduction mode ; Supports excellent power booster grip (VPB-XH1) ; Improved electronic viewfinder (OVF/EVF)

Camera battery can’t be charged via booster ; Small AF-ON AE-L buttons on VPB-XH1 ; Doesn’t feature 4:2:2 10-bit video ; No USB-Type C interface

There's no question that the Fujifilm X-H1 is the most advanced X Series camera to date, thanks to a range of new and refined features, but its size means it loses some of that core X Series DNA that has made cameras like the X-T2 firm favorites. It's...

Excellent image stabilisation (although it's lens dependent for the best performance) ; Great image quality and detail potential (lens dependent) ; Robust build quality with full manual controls at your fingertips ; LCD top plate is a rare sighting on...

Smallest autofocus size has issues acquiring focus ; Auto white balance and auto exposure sometimes off the mark ; No 3.5mm headphone jack without the battery grip ; Battery life should go further ; No image quality improvement over X-T2 ; Panasonic G9...

Fujifilm has created a worthy top-tier entry to its mirrorless X-series line-up with robustness, great image stabilisation and image quality. However, it can't surpass the Panasonic G9 in terms of ease-of-use, video and autofocus.

Image stabilisation works wonders ; Superb stills ; Video now among the best

Bigger body won’t please everyone ; Trigger-happy shutter button ; Pricey

By adding in-body image stabilisation, Fuji’s created its best CSC yet
