Fuji Fuji announcements

Includes the X-H1 and X-A5, as well as some lenses. I'm betting the XF 8-16mm f2.8 WR is going to be huge and expensive: X News - FUJIFILM X/GFX USA

The X-H1 combined with those cinema lenses are going to make a lot of videographers very happy.

X-H1 might make me happy as a stills guy. Had the X-T1, liked it a lot, but trying to hold that thing for extended shooting became an exercise in hand pain. Too small, controls just a bit too small and closely placed. I have the same issue with the X-E2S and X100F - used for occasional photos, but cannot use either for lengthy periods of time.

The X-H1 looks to be big enough to resolve those issues. If so, Fuji will have all I need to finally have a one system solution. I'm tired of having small systems from three manufacturers. (Pentax, Canon, and Fuji.) Going all Fuji will cut down the amount of gear significantly.

Agreed about the X-H1. I've closely watched this camera as the images and specs have been leaked over the past few weeks. But, after this formal announcement, I have pulled the trigger on an X-T2. I prefer the smaller form factor and video is just not that important to me. I sold my X-T1 and X-T20, of course.

 

[Bobby T]

I’m with you. The X-T2 better fits my need. I’ll be interested to see what Fuji does the X-T3 later this year.

 

[tonyturley]

Different preferences and needs all around. I prefer smaller form factors as well, and the X-T1 and X-T20 suit me fine. The X-H1 will likely be well beyond my pocketbook, anyway. However, we all benefit if Fuji succeeds with these products.

And there is always trickling down of technology to other models.

When the G9 was introduced there were pages and pages of comments over on the mu43 forum. Same for the GX9 and they didn’t even like it.

 

[Luke]

I'm patiently waiting for a new X100 model....so I can wait further for a significant price drop on the X100f

 

[tonyturley]

I just got an e-mail announcing "special introductory" package prices with the X-H1 and XF 16-55, 50-140, or 100-400. Packages are $2,950, $3,350, and $3,650, respectively. Valid through 4-28-18 while supplies last.

yeah, i think fuji should further improve or miniaturize their ibis mechanism, so they can put that x-h1 ibis feature in their next x-t or x-pro. for comparison, sony has been able to keep their a6xxx aps-c body size while still having ibis.

 

[Bobby T]

I think the ibis is already small enough for the XT line. I’ve read that the extra size of the H1 is for the top lcd. And just to be a little larger for ergonomics.
