The Fujifilm X-H1 is back in stock at BHphoto for $1,099 with battery grip and 3 batteries.
The camera is discontinued and these might as well be the last new samples you’ll be able to get.
Today only, you can save big on SanDisk and Western Digital Storage media at AmazonUS here.
Since this post is about shutter sound, I would like to introduce it with the words of Tiziano Terzani:
“My life changed on the 30th of April 1975 [Note: last day of the Vietnam War], because on that day – when Americans flew from the roofs of Saigon – a skilled Vietnamese thief was able to steal a Leica M3 of an American. I met him at the market of Saigon a few days later and bought that camera. Wonderful. Simple. For 100 Dollar! It became the camera of my life. […]
The nice thing of that camera is, that it is very easy to load the film, that’s very important. […] You keep it around your neck, turn, open, insert film, close and – trum-pum! It’s ready to use. Easy. And once you selected shutter speed, aperture, black & white, 400 ASA, you take the picture. You simply cannot do anything wrong!
And then there was an almost erotic aspect, I mean, you put this camera for example at 1/125 and when you take the picture it makes a “cloc-cloc” that is such a joy to hear!”
“Cloc-cloc” or “click-click” or “flap-flap“. Whatever the sound is, I agree with Tiziano that pressing the shutter button and hear it sealing the moment is a joy.
And now, after this introduction, let’s see how the shutter sound of the Fujifilm X series evolved over the years, thanks to a video by nyphotog2006 you can see below.
The comparison is between:
To me, the Fujifilm X-T4 shutter sounds even a tiny bit more quiet than the Fujifilm X-H1 shutter, which is rather impressive!
Then he throws a Fujifilm X100V into the comparison, but that’s like cheating, as it makes almost no sound thanks to its leaf shutter .
Cultural Sidenote: I love the books of Tiziano Terzani, and highly recommend you to read them. They also made a movie out of one of his books, it’s called “The End is my Beginning“. If you have some spare time, it’s worth to watch it. The actor playing Tiziano is Bruno Ganz, an absolute gigantic actor, who played iconic roles in film history, like the Hitler in Downfall and Wings of Desire of Wim Wenders.
Fujifilm has disclosed the full list of lenses that will get up to 6.5 stops on thanks to the Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS. You can see the comparison table below.
You will also find a picture of the X-H1 and X-T4 IBIS unit side by side.
As a little bonus, go to minute 1:46 of the video below, to see the pre-production IBIS of the X-T4 compared to the one of the Sony A7III and the X-T4 used on a gimbal.
And there is one more video comparison below, that starts from 4:37.
Of course the gimbal wins. When it comes the to the Sony A7RIII vs Fujifilm X-T4 comparison, the Fujifilm X-T4 is clearly superior, but we know that from the X-H1 already.

Just a few days before the official announcement, we know quite a bit already about the Fujifilm X-T4, thanks to the major exclusive leaks on FujiRumors here and here, and the size and weight leak by nokishita here.
So I thought we can already launch a first, and already almost complete, Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-T4 vs X-H1 specs comparisons sheet.
Thanks to FujiRumors sources, the specs comparison is already almost complete.
We have only missing some data, like the official battery life, the fps with electronic shutter, the official buffer rate and the official EVF specs. For the rest, it’s basically complete.
Of course I will add, change and complete it once more leaks come in.

Italian photographer Roberto owned Fujifilm X series gear, but at some point followed the siren songs of full frame Sony.
Now, after using Sony for a while, he switched back to Fujifilm.
In his (Italian) video he explains why.
But don’t worry, you are lucky that FujiRumors is a polyglot (I speak 4 languages), so I am going to translate it for you ;).
