I tried the Fuji XH1 today in Park Cameras, London , a pre production model of course . I'm a press photographer and have owned an original X100 and currently use an XPRO2 along with my Canon dslrs . The body felt nice and solid, but appearance is more akin to the GFX than the XT2 with an LCD display on top which I personally don't care for. The exposure comp has gone and now there's a little button to be pressed down and a move of the rear dial which is a bit lame . Autofocus felt good and is allegedly faster than previous X models , the shutter button is way too sensitive though . I kept accidentally taking pictures when trying to half press, the Fuji rep assured that I'd get used to it though I'm not convinced . Cameras need to have a similar feel, and this is more sensitive than any camera I've ever used, I think he said it was " soft touch " . I honestly didn't really notice the stabilising though i was using the 100mm 2.8 , so can't really make a judgement . I'm sure it'll sell very well though the top plate led, exposure comp and soft touch for me are a little off putting . Having several more stops with the stabiliser could be massive though, being able to occasionally use lower ISO's in difficult lighting conditions where movement isn't a problem .
