Hi Dr.Ma
I just bought your recommended Sony A7m3
Very nice :}
Have you bought a new camera?
Yes, that is X-H1, the flagship mirroless camera that enhanced video capabilities from from Fujifilm.
Just another new toy
I always like Fujifilm's film color
Why don't you recommend this to me
Don't worry. let's take a close look of this camera
Product review again? ...Okay, I'll give you a chance to show off
Ok, let's start

Hi. Welcome to Colorbee Photography Life Magazine. I'm Brian
Today we talk about Fujifilm XH1
This APC camera, which claims to be on an equal footing with a full-frame SLR image quality
XH1 is the flagship model that Fuji launched at the end of 2017
Enhanced video capabilities, rouged weather proof body, great X-mount lens group support
Photographers has a new choice at $3,000 price range
We reviewed this XH1 after few weeks on field test
Here is might be just our subjective opinions
there are also objective test results
If Fuji users, owners and fans have different opinions, Please leave your common to us
For travel video/photographers whether a machine is good or not
depends on three aspects: image quality, function and control interface
Set in the main high-speed and video capabilities, let's look at its performance in all aspects
People rave about Fuji image quality particularly in its color
The credit of the XF lens group
Fujinon lens is a really big name in Cine industry
On the other hand, as a giant in the film industry
Fuji is really good at color expression
In the ideal light environment, the JPG file straight out from camera is sharp colorful and natural.
If you choose "film style", it can better reflect the characteristics of Fuji camera.
You can choose High saturation color such as Velvia
or You can choose low saturation color such as Pro Neg
Suitable for those who don't like to do photo retouch, Send photo straight to smartphone after shoot
if you are videographer. you can use Enterna film with DR400% to get 12 stop dynamic range
As a flagship camera, what is the most important?
Focus performance!!
Professional photographers use expensive cameras, just because its focus system
Wild life, bird photographers, buy expensive cameras because of focus
As the flagship camera, focusing performance is the most important factor
Let's take a look at the focus performance of XH1 in photography and videography
When shooting a single still photo, the XH1 shows a flagship level that is not counterproductive.
The focus is accurate
it could capture the moment when you press the shutter
To be explained, for XT2 users
XH1 enhances the working range of focus, not the speed
it has better low light focus by 1.5EV
its AF also can working on f11 aperture (XF 100-400mm lens with 2X tele）
In ideal light conditon, the two cameras have no difference in focus speed.
But thanks to the XH1 ultra sensitive shutter
it feels very quick responds
In high-speed continuous shooting, we found that when the XH1 was shooting against the same object, the focus little bit drifting
we repeated testing found that it is a common issue
we using XF 100-400mm pro lens
it is in High-speed continuous shooting, high-speed tracking, set to ignore interference mode
The focus drift is not accidental, I wonder if it can be solved in the future through the firmware update of the camera update.
The video focus results are a bit out of our expectations
the focus performance is a bit hesitant, and only detect the face, does not detect the body.
This is significantly different from the same level of video machine Alpha 7 and GH5
it is still the difference in camera processor
weather sealed body, comfortable grip, are good points
new in body image stabilize function just added
better IS performance than Sony A7m3 (1/4 second)
Fuji is a touch screen that can be turned sideways, and the vertical angle is very convenient!
Although EVF is 5% smaller than XT2, it is brighter and finer
Compared to other contemporary cameras, The disadvantages of XH1 are also very obvious
Heaps of noise in High ISO
We don't know what it the reason that XH1 cheat one stop high ISO setting
But this camera is almost the same price as a full-size camera.
Its high iso performance is disappointing us
The high noise makes me wonder if it can be used for news sports and documentary photography.
We found a serious problem when shooting video: Moiré
I thought it was because of the moiré produced by the electric viewfinder.
But when i get home and put file on my screen....
Holly S****!
So, the people who took the video please be wared don’t shoot someone who in the sweater
We MUST talk about this crappy design
Even though quite a lot "user" rave about this camera's image quality
But those users were try to avoiding an important issue----Control design
After few weeks on field test and particular in real world works
what we found about this camera is..
As a professional video model, its operation control design is absolutely unprofessional
First all. XH1 doesn't have Customer presetting
of cause you can leave that on RAW for any photo shoot
But video production work flow might be diffrent
You have to preset all video format before hand
it drove me mad to switch between 4K and 1080 format
