Review on Camera Fujifilm X-H1 Body by Stanislaw Grzechnik ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I wasn't thrilled with the product, but it can be used.

First of all, I bought it almost exclusively for the sake of shooting in UHD. There was a choice between Sony 6300/6500, Fujifilm X-H1 and Canon C200. There is another option - Canon 1DX mk2, but it requires insanely expensive CFast 2.0 and makes huge files, while FullHD shoots extremely (although 4K is good). Sony ergonomics, expensive lenses and Sony in general. A huge advantage of Canon is autofocus in video, but the C200 is much larger and if you compare the entire system with lenses, then the Fuji is simply many times more compact. The camera is VERY, very raw and full of bugs and imperfections. It seems strange that the Japanese were not afraid to lose face by releasing this even without prior testing.

Pros
  • Finally, Fuji has made a mirrorless camera that you can normally hold in your hands. The shutter on is now where it should be and in general the grip is almost the same as that of the GFX-50s, even the screen on top is the same (beautiful, I like it, but there is not much practical use from the screen). Prior to this, X-T1 / T2 models did not have a solid handle in front and the on was out of place - extremely inconvenient. + Comfortable grip. + Shooting in UHD at 200 megabits + Shooting in F-Log (flat, faded profile for post-processing) + Excellent picture quality in UHD, no complaints about clarity at all + Ability to shoot video with a wide dynamic range + In-camera stabilization allows you to take photos with long exposures, works very well + Photo quality is good for a 16 MP camera + Ability to shoot photos with a wide dynamic range immediately in jpegs + Ability to send photos to a smartphone via Wi-Fi. Glitchy, but often successful in just a few minutes. + Beautiful, stylish design. There is moisture protection. + You can charge one battery in the carc from USB (but, unlike Sony, you cannot power the camera itself from USB).
Cons
  • - When there is a vertical handle, you can put three batteries at once, but as soon as one of the batteries runs out, the video recording stops and you have to start it again manually - Video recording sometimes stops for no reason after a few seconds from the start, there is no signal of overheating or problems with recording. Just like he stopped her - Periodically freezes while writing photos to a flash drive, you have to remove the battery - There is a headphone output on the vertical grip, but it is not suitable for use with decent headphones - the sound is heavily distorted and seems to be overloaded. When you connect active speakers, the problem disappears, apparently you need to use a headphone amplifier. Canon doesn't have this problem. - Even when set to "focus priority before release", the shutter is released before focusing if the on is pressed immediately after the previous shot - Image stabilization only helps for photos or for static video shooting. It is impossible to use it in motion - it grabs sharply and jumps jumps from one stabilized position to another, and not smoothly, as on other cameras - "Gesture control" must be turned off, otherwise it works by touching the screen with your nose. - There is a function to create a new folder on a flash drive, but it just does not work. Nothing happens when using it. - As with other Fuji cameras, you cannot switch the clock to 24-hour mode - No geotagging, although there is a function - it just takes ONE coordinates and sculpts them the same in all subsequent shots - In some combinations of modes, there is exposure compensation, but it is NOT displayed in the viewfinder - you cannot determine whether it is now or not - Recording in 4K only at 24 frames per second, you can not put 25 - Recording in 4K/UHD with add. crop - Aliasing at 120fps - No UHD@50/60fps - No Zebra function - According to some, autofocus does not work very well when shooting video in DR400% mode, but because I compare with Canon, then for me it does not work well in any mode :)
