Excellent review of this camera, still today in 2023 I find it very useful and sincere.

I have to say that this is by far the best camera review I have witnessed to date, comparing cameras excellent, and operation. Well done, thanks again. You are making some decisions much easier and this review was done 4 yes ago. BRAVO!

The best XH1 review that I have seen.

I confuse for a couple of week about using 2 systems (Sony n Fuji) and I already owned X-Pro2 and XT2. Planing to sell X-Pro2 + 1024 to A7III + 1635G for video. After watching your review, it blows my mind man. Now I made the decision to sell my rarely use X-Pro2 to XH1. This save my pocket !! I owned 6 Fuji lens and no need to waste the money for Sony Lens

Thanks again for your good review.

This is the best review of the X-H1 one I've seen to date. You stayed away from reciting the spec sheet back to the viewer, and you focused on whats most important to many users in the real world. What a refreshing change. Also, this is the only review I've seen to date that discusses how Fuji put considerably more engineering into the lens mount's robustness and stiffness to accomodate long, fast, heavy prime telephoto lenses. As a motorsports photographer, this is quite important to me. Very well done! Thank you.

4 years later and I am considering one of these cameras. This was a brilliant review, very original and comprehensive. Great music too.

29:26 - This diagram was very helpful in understanding the film simulation modes.

@TheIkaika777 8 years ago

This is the most thorough X-H1 review for the video capabilities on YouTube. Well done and thank you. I’m more than impressed.

@DennisBloodnokPhotographyVideo 6 years ago

Very interesting and enjoyable review. Given the rumours of an imminent X-H2 release, I hope to see you do a review of this camera.

@DjCjFoto 8 years ago

Definitely, the best X-H1 review so far, and one of the best camera reviews I've seen so far, in general. Very talented presenter, keep it up!

@pc1234asdf 6 years ago

Your framing and pacing are the best I've ever seen. It's nice to see someone else who has "the eye". not many of us out there.

Great review - very comprehensive covering the not so good as well as what makes this camera stand out. Particularly liked the graphic explanation of where Eterna sits along side all the other Fuji film simulations. This video is a must watch before you make a decision to buy the X-H1.
