The live blogging is still running, but time to dig deeper into the more technical and also practical aspect of IBIS in a dedicated post.
We start with a Fujifilm video that shows how IBIS is made and how it is tested by Fujifilm, we continue by telling you how IBIS and OIS work together, how efficient it is with each lens, and we end with a hands on experience of shooting 11 seconds handheld still image… will it work?
Combining a robust, durable body with superior image quality and easy operation, the FUJIFILM X-H1 is the firstcamera in the series to include 5-axis 5.5 stops* in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and the new ETERNA Film Simulation feature, for outstanding video reproduction.
UPDATE: Links to MK lenses have been taken off. Most X-H1 links too (still available with XF100-400 bundle). Anyone lucky enough to get it to pre-order? I hope so :)

Bert Stephani is a well known Fujifilm X photographer, that over all these years has delighted the Fuji Lovers community with great images and has been a valuable member by sharing his Fujifilm X and GFX gear reviews, his Fujifilm camera settings, giving tips for street photography and more.
Sadly, thieves broke into his house and stole his gear, and on facebook here he asked for help to find it back.
So I ask the FujiRumors community to watch out for suspect sales online. Let’s try to help a fellow X-shooter to find back his gear.
All the details, including the list of gear with serial number below from Bert’s facebook post.
Brett: “My image of Meron Benti on the cover of Middlebury Magazine is up for consideration at the American Society of Magazine Editors Best Cover Contest 2018, competing against the likes of New Yorker, Nat Geo, Essence, and numerous others. It’s a huge honor just to be included in the field. Relevant to your site is that I made the image with a Fuji X-Pro2 and 35mm ƒ/1.4 lens. The contest page is here: American Society of Magazine Editors facebook.” The Fujifilm Cover is this one.
Fujinon (and third party X-mount) Lenses
The amount of links I get from you guys is terrific, and I will give my best to feature you all. Today, amongst all the submissions and request I got, I will feature those who specifically talk about Fujinon lenses.
Check Your Lenses… and a Little Ode to My (and Your) Local Store
One of the reasons why I like to buy my gear at the local dealer (instead of ordering online), is that I can always inspect the gear before buying it.
So, when last month I bought the XF10-24 and XF27mm, my dealer opened the boxes, checked if there was any issue such as dust spots inside the lens, and he even checked if the latest firmware for the lenses was installed (it wasn’t, so he updated the lens firmware in store for me… AWESOME!)
So far, with ALL Fujinon lenses I have ever bought, I never had any dust spot issue. Actually I always perceived my lenses as excellently build. I mean, my XF35mmF1.4 still works perfectly, even though it was minutes completely under water, the day I destroyed my X-E2 in a river.
Anyway, I know things like dust spots in the lens happen, and I experienced them in the past when I used other systems. Since then, my habit is to visually check lenses, before buying them.
If small, then dust spots will have absolutely no influence on image quality.
However, when you pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a new lens, you do want it to be perfect out of the box, and personally I would change any new lens, even if it has the smallest dust inside it.
With that said… let’s talk about Fujifilm quality.
Fujifilm Prodcution Quality: Factory Video & Teardown
I’m packing. I’m leaving. A long car ride all to way to Prague is waiting for me.
But before I leave, here is a blog post about why I bought the X-E3, XF27mm and XF10-24, as well as some initial feedback… sadly also something negative amongst it.
X-mas came a few days earlier here at the FujiRumors headquarter (right in time for my weekend trip to Prague).
Make your guess what you think could be in those 3 nice FUJIFILM boxes :)
I going to grab my dinner now, and then I will update this blog post with the answer.
In a separate article I will cover more comprehensively why I decided to grab this specific gear and not other Fuji X gear (one decision was particulary difficult), as well as give your first (postive, but also negative) feedback about it.
Now let’s see how accurately you read FujiRumors, because I dropped some hints now and then about the gear I’m lusting after… and starting from today, I finally own it :)
