SmallRig Cage for Fujifilm X-H1. First 100 Orders get 50% Discount + Really Right Stuff Modular Plates for X-H1 Pre-orders

SmallRigh Cage

SmallRig Cage already offers rigs for X-T2 and X-T20 cameras. Now you can pre-order also their Fujifilm X-H1 rig here. The first 100 rigs are sold with a 50% discount. All the details below.

Really Right Stuff Plates

Really Right Stuff is now taking pre-orders for their modular Fujifilm X-H1 plates.

Really Right Stuff camera L-plates feature two dovetail mounting surfaces in the shape of an “L”; one on the bottom of your camera, and one on the left-hand side. This additional mounting option allows you to quickly change between landscape and portrait orientations while minimizing the need to recompose your shot, saving you time and hassle. Also, an L-plate keeps your gear centered directly above the tripod’s apex which helps maintain the best stability possible.

Let’s hope they design it more wisely than their first generation GFX plates, which luckily they released already a second version of. However, no refund or discount was offered to customers, who purchased the poorly designed 1st generation plates, as we reported here.

Pre-order X-H1 plates at reallyrightstuff.com.

ETERNA Film Simulation Available in Lightroom for Fujifilm X-T2 & Co with a Little Hack

image shared by Rene Delbar at the Fujifilm X-H facebook group
image shared by Rene Delbar at the Fujifilm X-H facebook group

ETERNA for Fujifilm X-T2  & Co in LR

In the recent (and fantastic) TCSTV Fujifilm X-H1 live stream, Fuji Guy Billy said that ETERNA on Fujifilm X-T2 is very possible via firmware update in future, hence (almost) confirming our rumor of December 7 here.

But if you own the latest version of Lightroom, you can already now see how your X-TransIII files look with the ETERNA film simulation applied.

Follow these simple steps:

  • Download an EXIF Editor
  • Change the X-T2, X-Pro2, X-T20, X-E3 or X100F EXIF camera name of your image to “X-H1” using the EXIF Editor
  • Load your EXIF manipulated image in Lightroom Classic CC 7.2
  • ETERNA will be available in your Lightroom camera calibration menu
  • Smile :)

This “hack” is available already since a few days now, when Adobe added X-H1 support.

Will you try it? Then feel free to share your images and your findings here in the comments :)

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 ;)

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.

Fujifilm X-H1 Final Countdown. Will you Buy the X-H1? – POLL

Fujifilm X-H1

It’s just a few hours now, and the Fujifilm X-H1 will be officially announced (2PM Toyko time – midnight in New York).

And while the Fujifilm X-H1 is for sure the one camera that currently creates the biggest buzz on the internet, it remains to see if it will also become a big success in terms of sales.

So let’s try to anticipate the fate of the X-H1 here on FujiRumors, by launching a survey.

The decision if you will buy (or not) the Fujifilm X-H1 is made a bit easier by the fact that basically everything has already been leaked. I will share just a few main specs, and link to the full press-release, specs sheet and comparisons.

Also a short recap of the Fujifilm X-T3 rumors, which should help you to make your decision.

Fujifilm X-H1 Announcement February 15, at 2 PM Tokyo Time (Midnight in New York)

Fujifilm X-H1 announcement

Hey all,

Unlike the X-E3, which was announced at 4PM Tokyo time, the upcoming Fujifilm X-H1, the Fujinon MK X mount Cine lenses and the firmware updates for GFX and X-T20 will be announced at 2PM Toyko time, which means:

  • Midnight in New York
  • Feb. 14 at 9 PM in San Francisco
  • Feb. 15 at 6 AM in Berlin

In order to manage my impatience for the imminent Fujirumors Live Blogging, I made a little Fujifilm X-H1 announcement trailer.

Make sure not to miss it, and follow FR via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Fujifilm X-H1 Vs. X-T2 Specs Comparison

Fujifilm X-H1 Vs. Fujifilm X-T2

Now that the Full Specs of the Fujifilm X-H1 are leaked, I want to give you guys a clear view of where the differences between the X-H1 and the X-T2 are. This is why I made a table that you can check out below or download the PDF on my dropbox.

Remember… it contains (almost) only differences between X-T2 and X-H1. So keep in mind that sensor, processor and other specs are the same.

If you want to see the full list of X-H1 specs (even those identical to X-T2), then check out this blog post.

The Fujifilm X-H1 wins hands down in the video compartment and in build quality. It has a superior autofocus and more features (such as electronic first curtain shutter and flickering reduction mode).

On the other hand, the X-T2 (which has no IBIS, no touch screen and less features), has a slightly longer battery life overall and also minimal better buffer in continuous shooting. The X-T2 also has a slightly bigger EVF compared to the X-H1 (x0.77 magnification Vs. x0.75 magnification), but the one of the X-H1 has much more resolution.

Please note that the leaked specs are not complete. They do not mention that the X-H1 has a shorter EVF black out and that face detection works in 4K video.

Also note, that some of the current advantages of the X-H1 could be firmware based only. The X-T2 might or might not get some of these feature in future via firmware update. I have added a “NOTE” column, where I tell you where a firmware update might be possible.

And make sure to follow the Announcement Live Blogging here on FujiRumors on the 15th of February (the 14th in San Francisco). Follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter and feel free to join the Fujifilm X-H facebook group and our new dedicated Fujifilm X-H facebook page
