Fujifilm Complete X Guide Update: Includes Fujifilm X-H1 and Removes (discontinued) XC 16-50

Complete Fujifilm Guide

Fujifilm just updated their complete X guide brochure, which now includes the Fujifilm X-H1.

Fujifilm removed the XC 16-50 from the catalogue, which means it is going to be discontinued in favor of the brand new and smaller Fujinon XC 15-45 power zoom.

You can check out the complete X Series guide PDF here (13 MB). You can find the X-H1 only catalogue here.

And thanks a ton again to the FR-reader, who send me this. Your support means everthing to me and is such a huge help.

Fujifilm X-H1 Wooden Niccolls Movie by TheCameraStoreTV

Wooden Niccolls

Back in January 27, TheCameraStoreTV announced they will be screening a Wooden Niccolls movie shot with “unreleased gear” at a movie theater. I placed my bet, and said it would be a movie shot on Fujifilm X-H1. If I was wrong, I promised I would shoot Sepia only for an entire month. So believe me guys, I am relieved to see I was not wrong ;) .

Well, right now the TheCameraStoreTV has published their movie on their youtube channel here.

  • All the BTS and B-Roll footage was Eterna. The actual scene was shot F-Log and expertly colour graded by Tyler Roth. He used a pre-production Eterna LUT as a starting point, but there are many manual adjustments in the scene as well.
  • intuitive layout
  • shot with Fujinon Cabrio lenses

I remind you that the Fujifilm X-H1 can shoot DCI 4K at 24fps, which is the wider screen format you are used to see in motion pictures.

For Whom is the Fujifilm X-H1? Kevin Mullins Needs to Talk :: Worth Upgrading from Fujifilm X-T2?

Fujifilm X-H1

UPDATE: Allow me quick follow up to the previous article: I confirm that Fujiflm has changed the front plate design of the X mount. If you don’t trust me, you can go to dpreview and see how the X-T2 can have two different mount designs, older are more angled, newer more round. This has not been made casually by Fujifilm, but there is a reason behind that. Most likely it is related to mitiage grid artifacts, as we reported here.

Kevin Mullins

The epic Fujifilm X-H1 live blogging is now officially closed, but you can check back to see a comprehensive list of first look reviews, samples and videos after 2 nights and 3 days of non stop coverage.

What we are trying to do now, is to enter more in specific to some of your questions, and focus on certain topics.

In our “All About IBIS” article yesterday, we made an in depth technical and practical analysis of IBIS.

Today we try to adress another question that I get also via email: for whom is the Fujifilm X-H1?

I was planing an article about it, but today wedding photographer Kevin Mullins published a youtube video where he answers this question.

And since I not only agree with him, but he also says it in a much better English than me, make sure to check out his video here.

In short:

  • The Fujifilm X-H1 is aimed at videomakers (where there is still room for improvement, though), sport and wildlife photographers
  • It’s for photographers who use big lenses, want a big grip, a solid body
  • For people who want extra functionality and don’t need small cameras
  • The X-H1 is all about power
  • The X-H1 is not really for wedding and street photographers. No reason to move to X-H1 from something like X-Pro2, X-T2, X-E3 etc., which are better for that
  • The X-H1 is another option in the Fujifilm line, and not an upgrade to the X-T2, so it makes sense to call it X-H1
  • If he buys the X-H1, then it’s for his videos work especially on the youtube channel. But not for weddings
  • It would be great if the autofocus and shutter system if the X-H1 would be rolled into the X-T and X-Pro line of cameras

He also says:

  • He invested into the X system because of smaller size, and size is still an important factor for him
  • X-H1 has amazing video tech, internal F-log, Eterna Cinema film simulation, indipended custom settings for stills and video, touch screen and of course IBIS
  • sensitive shutter button, takes time to get used to, but those who shoot very quickly in sports or also weddings they will love it
  • sadly no articulating screen, and for video makers that would have been awsome
  • no audio connection in body. You must buy the vertical grip to monitor your audio

Down below, a video of The Photography Team that discusses the questions… X-T2 or X-H1?

Fujifilm X-H1 launch deals are available also in Europe, for example a €150 cashback in the Netherlands, £100 trade-in deals in the United Kingdom. Select your country in the Fuji promo page, and see if you country is included. However, Fujifilm is notoriously slow to update this page. So while Fuji Netherlands already announced the deal on theri facebook page, their official website still does not mention the deal. I recommend the good old way to see if your country is included: give them a call ;)

See the Impressive Fujifilm X-H1 IBIS Wobbling. Front Plate Redesign to Allow IBIS on X-Cameras or Reduce Purple Grid Artifacts?

In the video above you can see how much the X-H1 sensor wobbles, going behind the front plate. That’s impressive.

And you will remember, how Fujifilm said that X-mount is not compatible with IBIS, right?

So people wonder, how did Fujifilm manage to make it compatible and to make IBIS work on X-cameras without introducing to heavy vignetting?

Good question.

What we know, is that newer X-series cameras have a newly designed front plate. Just check out my old X-T1 with sharp 90° angle compared to my new X-E3 with a much more rounded angle. UPDATE: Older X-T2’s and X-Pro2’s have a very angled mount, while newer ones more rounded. Check it out, it’s documented also on dpreview ;) .

Most likely, Fujifilm did it to fix (or at least signficantly reduce) the purple grid artifacts we wrote about it here.

However, I heared another fascinating theory, that I want to share here on FujiRumors,.

The rounded angle could allow the light to filter better in the corners, and hence reach the sensor even better, when it goes behind the mount.

Wait… I hear you say… the X-E3 has no IBIS!

But, so the theory, since Fujifilm had to redesign the mount to accomodate IBIS on X-H1 anyway, it just hugly simplifies and speeds up the production line, if you use one front plate design for all cameras, instead of manufacturing 2 different ones.

However, this theory does not convince me fully, since the front plate on the X-H1 seems to be more similar to the one of my old X-T1 than the one of my X-H1.

Adobe Lightroom Adds Fujifilm X-H1 Support + ETERNA Film Simulation

Adobe_logo

Back in February 13, Adobe released the Lightroom Classic CC 7.2, adding Fujifilm X-A5 and X-A20 support.

This was 2 days before the official announcement of the Fujiflm X-H1, so at that time, they did not mention X-H1 support.

However, after the announcement, they updated their camera support list, and included the Fujifilm X-H1. It also adds the Eterna film simulation profile.

Fujifilm X-H facebook group member Rene is already opening his X-H1 files with Lightroom and sharing samples and feedback in the group. Feel free to join here.

Laowa 9mm F2.8 Coming in March for $499 + Fujifilm X-H1 and Laowa 9mmF2.8 Sample Image + X-H1 AmazonUS Best Seller

Laowa 9mm F2.8 for Fujifilm X

Guys, let’s take a break from all the Fujifilm X-H1 buzz, and share a rumor that I am sure many of you will like :)

Let’s talk about the Laowa 9mm F2.8 for Fujifilm X, which we already leaked back in December here, and we showed further product images and samples in January here.

A FR-reader contacted Venus Optics and asked about the Laowa 9mmF2.8 for Fujifilm X. Well, Venus Optics answered that it will come in March and cost $499 ex-VAT in USA.

Fujifilm X-H1 + Laowa 9mm F2.8

What did I say? Take a break from the Fuji X-H1 buzz? Just kidding :)

In fact, you might not have noticed it, but in Jonas Rasks’ Fujifilm X-H1 review, one image is actually taken with the Laowa 9mm F2.8. So he is one of the Beta testers of the Laowa 9mmF2.8.

Of course, the Fujifilm X-H1 live blogging continues, and you will find not only Jonas Rask, but samples (RAW included), technical information, size comparisons, tons of reviews and videos, interviews with Fuji reps and a lot more.

So make sure to stay tuned on the non-stop FujiRumors live blogging.

Fujifilm X-H1 Best Seller

In the meantime, the Fujifilm X-H1 had a great start in terms of sales at AmazonUS. It is currently

I’m blogging on FujiRumors since over 6 years now, and I have rarely seen such a good start, especially in the overall digital camera ranking. Only the X-T line could regulary climb the ranking so quickly so high.

Sure, we have to be careful for now, before we say the X-H1 is a success. But a good start at AmazonUS is a good sign. Maybe Fujifilm has crafted another winner. Maybe X-shooters where really “hungry” for an IBIS camera. Time will tell. But I think we can be confident.

FujiRumors Notes
As the Fuji manager said to BHphoto (video below), the X-H1 has a shorter blackout time (100msec of blackout-time), when used in combination with electronic first curtain shutter. He says blackout is so short that it feels like shooting a DSLR. Fuji Guys confirm our rumor about face detection in 4K. Eterna film simulation looks really good, and as we rumored here, it will come via firmware to X-T2 (and maybe more cameras). However, for stills, Classic Chrome remains my favorite.
