Fuji X-H1 specs leak out. And size comparison with the X-T2
The Fuji X-H1 is finally coming and Fujirumors shared this first size comparison image. The X-H1 will be considerably bigger than the X-T2! The camera has IBIS and strong video features.
Here are the specs via FR:
- Despite what Fujifilm managers said about X-mount not being compatible with IBIS, the X-H1 will have IBIS
- IBIS will work with all Fujinon X-mount lenses.
- As opposed to Olympus & Co, IBIS and OIS will not work together… at least currently that’s not possible. Maybe Fujifilm will tweak the firmware in future. But at launch I don’t expect IBIS and OIS to work together.
- Fujifilm’s IBIS solution will not allow the sensor shift multishot
- There will be design changes over the X-T2, such as a better hand grip
- The X-H1 will have the 24MP megapixel X-Trans III sensor
- The release is (currently) scheduled for the first half of 2018
- Shipping in February
- Will cost around $2,000
- New Film simulation Eterna is coming
- IBIS Full sensor readout
- Internal F-Log
- No Exp.Comp dial but top LCD screen like GFX
- Fuji X-T2 Vs. X-H1 Size Comparison
- X-Processor Pro of Fujifilm X-T2 & Co
Hot discussion at the momen over on the Fuji X-H1 facebook group. I am wondering if Fuji can really challenge the Panasonic and Sony camera when it comes to video…
Leica will soon announce a new Summilux-M 1: 1.5 / 90 ASPH. lens

Fuji releases new X-RAW studio and it contains info about the new Fuji X-H1
First the news:
Today Fuji released Firmware Updates for the X-T2, X-T20, GFX 50S + Free X RAW STUDIO Software + X Acquire ver. 1.7.
Now the rumor:
Nokishita noticed that in the update file of X-RAW STUDIO Fujifilm adds support for the Fujifilm X-H1. Fujirumors says they got some info about the X-H1:
Nokishita does not know, what hides behind the name “X-H1” and they don’t know any specs, except for the fact that it has 24MP and 1/32,000 shutter speed… but luckily FujiRumors can help :)
The Fujifilm X-H1 is Fuji’s first IBIS camera. Fujifilm changed name from X-T2S to X-H1. That’s what hides behind this mysterious camera :).
In the comments, some suggested that “H” stands for “Hybrid”, meaning stills/video hybrid camera. Makes perfectly sense. The new Fujinon MK Cine lenses have no OIS, and of course Fujifilm designed them without stabilization, knowing the X-H1 would come with IBIS.
All the specs I have shared so far for the X-T2S remain the same for the X-H1. It’s the same camera, just with different name.
I am pretty sure we will not have to wait a long time til the camera gets announced!
