I think, sensor apart, that X-H1 is an upgrade vs X-t2 only  for film-makers, not for photografers; they wait for new  X-t3 with autofocus speedy like the nikon's one and 32 Mpytes sensor

 

Nonesense! This is an ideal camera for photographers! IBIS, rugged build, better viewfinder etc, etc. Just because it's being marketed as ideal for video doesn't mean it is only a video camera. The X-H1 is in fact an ideal camera for people who want to do candid photography (very quiet shutter as well as silent shutter), for those who want to do low light photography (better viewfinder and IBIS) and also for anyone who has struggled to get the best out of the 90mm f2 or 16-55 lenses because of camera shake (IBIS).

Personally I can't be bothered with the video side of it and I don't really like the styling (prefer the retro look) but I will get one as soon as I can just because of the IBIS.

Exactly. I have a number of adapted telephoto primes which are screaming for IBIS, so I'm waiting when this camera appears in my local store to check it against the size and weight.

I have no lens without IOS, therefore I do not change camera, now, but I  wait for X-T3. With this I don't tell you that X- H1 is not  a good upgrade of X-t2

 

It's great that Fuji offer us a good choice of cameras. Differing models to suit the needs and preferences of the variety of people who shoot with Fuji. They can't get it perfect for all people all of the time, but they come pretty close! They focus on image quality and regular updates to firmware and in doing so give us Fuji photographer's a fabulous deal (imho).

    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
    • How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
