the mostly reliable source of reviews and previews. Thanks! Greetings from Brazil!

Maarten, you are the man! Glad Fuji has discovered how good you are at explaining how products work.

I'm looking forward to your full review. Your reviews are my favorite to watch, as they are concise and contain no BS.

Clear, concise, highly informative, fully detailed preview. Great video quality, great audio quality. Positive attitude yet real world pragmatism. A world away from the brand fan-boy nonsense elsewhere. You are the 'go to' KZfaq source your valuable pre-purchase camera insight. Brilliant Maarten! Please keep doing what you do. I bought an X-H1 body and grip kit on the back of your preview and I am so pleased with it. It has rejuvenated my love of photography. Thanks!

Love your filming the comedic 'rushing out to see it' sequence. Wow, thanks for sharing this with us! Can't wait for the full review now.

Thank you Maarten, you are always thorough with no fluff and down to the point. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the preview. That Eterna simulation looks great. It indeed looks film like.

wonderful detailed preview. Thanks for sharing. The H1 seems to be the perfect all-rounder for both video and stills. Looking forward to testing it

Maarten: always thorough and professional. Quite different from your very first video produced. Please keep them coming.

I like your super detailed reviews Maarten. Even the preview is extensively detailed for a preview :) Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for the great preview. How is it you only have 41K subs? Your content is top notch. Can't wait for the detailed review. I am looking at possibly the X-T3 or this in the very near future. Keep up the great work!

Your previews and reviews and tutorials are so full of great information thank you .

At 7:58 RE: eye detect being grayed out. It's probably because the X-H1 was set to continuous AF. I know with my X100F those options are grayed out in C AF mode, then those menu options appear in Single AF mode. I couldn't download the owners manual for the X-H1 to 100% verify this (says the owners manual will be available in March of 2018), but I'm like 90-something percent sure it's because the X-H1 was set to continuous AF via the AF dial on the front of the camera to the bottom right of the lens mount. Cheers, hope all is well! Great videos as always, I was happy to see you had a video already out about the X-H1. :)

Mr. Heilbron, well done as always. I have the xt2 and am contemplating on how i can get the moolah/cash, to upgrade. You have definitely planted the seed of desire for this tad larger jewel of a picture taker and moving picture taker...lol. Keep up the good work and keep em flying. The man with a brain.

Wooow ! I have a 2015 X-T1, 2017 x-Pro2 and 2017 x-T2... Now I have to spare some more money to add this beauty to my own FUJI collection ! Great review, thanks a lot dear Maarten.

Another great preview, keeping to your usual very high standard! These are really useful - thanks.

Thanks for your review! Definitely the best one out there right now.

Thank you so much for the super-detailed, well-made preview. Greeting from Athens, Greece.

Great review. Very complete as usual. I admire your editing style. (You were one of my inspirations to start a KZfaq channel). Cheers!

Currently saving up for the Sony A6500, but this may change things! Great preview, looking forward to your full review so I can make an informed decision.

Maarten, I've been looking at videos on the X-H1 for several days. As usual yours is the best. I only note since it was made two firmware updates have already been made. I've owned a lot of good camera, and I am aware of the choices out there, But I'm going to buy it rather than the more recent Sony or Panasonic iteration for one reason: color. If the color isn't really beautiful no matter what else might be offered I'm not interested. Thanks for showing how the camera really operates. No one else has really done this. That's really helpful to me, since I've never owned a Fuji camera before, since almost everything I shoot is video. I'm suspecting that might change with the X-H1. I suspect you might consider an updated review since Fuji has completed 2 firmware updates at the time of this writing. Thanks so much for showing how the camera actually works rather than droning about your subjective opinions for minutes on end and arguing with some invisible adversary about which camera is best--ya-da-ya-da. Your the best and the most fair.

what a nice useful reiew million thanks , now this is my dream camera.higher than my nikon 850 , i wish i waited more .

Thanks Maarten! Can't wait for the full review.

I am in the process of ordering one. I was a little doubtful because of the larger size and weight but decided it is worth it.

Good thorough "pre-review" Maarten. Will look for your full-on review.

I love love loooove your videos!!! I always look forward to your witty wisdom! Stay warm out there!!!

Hello from a Torontonian living in Paris, France :-)

Less elegant, but more capable than the Xt-2... great tool and all around camera. For me no dual recording on video is a miss, but that is my humble opinion... As always... great job Mr Maarten, your review will be one of the best... Take care...

Excellent preview you did. Nice job. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Hey Maarten, I find your reviews very appealing and professional. Thank you for your informations!

Fantastic video, Maarten! And exciting camera, as well.

When you test, check out the ibis in video mode carefully. I watched a reputable review that stated it was very jerky in video mode and a bit useless, he said it would be helpful for stills though. This contradicts some people's statements but worth looking in to. Maybe he had a lens / body / firmware issue.

Thank you so much for this preview. It's nice to see Fuji hyping a competitive camera with careful consideration for video. I prefer Fuji's color science, and it's nice to see that expanding to video. The Eterna simulation looks so good. And the dedicated feature set for audio is very compelling, too!

As a Sony shooter I recently purchased a XH-1, AND I LOVE IT!!! Granted, two of my three Sony's are better in low light than the Fuji but still, I really like the Fuji.

Nice intro haha 🤣 Fuji was right to trust you ! We love your in depth reviews.

Good job for the great preview!...looking forward to the full one =)

Wow they included the flash from the XT1/2 EF-X8 flash....in Japan this one came as a kit with the XT2 when I bought it. I broke it because I never took it off my camera. Couple weeks ago I visited the Fujifilm HQ in Tokyo and got another flash from them because this type of EF flash is out of production. Strange they decided to release it with the XH1. Btw, Maarten if you ever visit Japan. You can borrow any lens and any camera Fujifilm has for free. They provide this service mostly to locals, but as a tourist and with your credentials it should not be a problem. Always handy if you don't want to bring a particular lens with you. Thank you for the review as always and your house looks so lovely....not the snow tho! brrrr I will enjoy the sunny weather here in Portugal.

Thanks for the preview! I had an X T1 for a week before trading it in for a DSLR. It just wasn't a nice shooting experience. Something about the ergonomics and shooting on the smaller (tiny?) body was a little off. This looks like a much more substantial camera with a deep grip and hefty design.

Great video. The X-H1 seems to be a great mirrorless camera. The upgrade to video and the use of 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilisation certainly gives the likes of the Panasonic GH5 & GH5S a "run for their money". Here in the UK, the kit with grip and extra batteries is almost £2000 (or around $2500 US). So this will be a serious investment for any enthusiast to make. But coupled with the best Fuji lenses, this looks like being a very powerful stills and video camera.

When will you be doing a full review of the X-H1 ? I thoroughly enjoy your reviews, Thanks.

Fantastic preview.

Great as always Maarten

Cool camera, but is it enough to upgrade from X-T2. X-H2 with the new sensor should be the one to get!

I must say, and this is just an observation - not being critical - I've heard that Olympus has complicated menu's.....hmmmmm.....you really did have me wondering how many more controls could be affected with this Fuji. I think my Em1 Mk II has a comfortable home for now and if I consider shooting Fuji, it will be my old circa 1975 Fujica ST-705. BTW, I love the winter shots around Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Falls......sometimes I miss winter with snow......Vancouver Island !

Thanks for review Maarten!

Just discovering your work. It's great, precise, slow paced so we can process the info. Good work ! I have a question, does eterna work like flog on videos ? Because you wrote "eterna color graded" in your example. Thanks for the answer !

Well Maarten, this was an extensive preview ! thank you very much for your work. I am very impatient to watch your full review. Besides, will you preview or review to newly announced Lumix GX9 ? I would consider it as a replacement for my lumix G7, especially in combo with the Pana-Leica 15 mm f1,7 :) Look forward to your next content ! cheers from Slovakia

Thank you for the fine preview. I like the details and unlike many, your videos don't have a negative tone. Much appreciated. I'm sure you weren't able to check this but when you review; could you check if the recording stops automatically when the camera switches to a different battery? My xt2 does that... Thanks!

Nice overview as always. I don’t think its much of an upgrade from the current line up and I don’t do video really, mind you a very nice piece of kit!

At the current price point i got one. I dont have much need for the video capabilities but I'll play with them just for fun.

Your reviews are pretty exceptional. I look forward to a full user review with unedited out of camera jpegs. I would love to get hold of this and the 16-55 for a week to do a side by side with my Nikon D810. I've got 2 bodies and about 5 nice pro lenses but just not happy with the out of camera results. I'm just a hobbyist and love the gear more than photography, but l have a history of some great film shooting but just find digital fails me. I'm baffled why such beautiful gear l have outputs pretty average results. After some Lightroom mobile app editing they look pretty ok but still it's disappointing the out of camera photos look like rubbish. All be it high resolution rubbish, the only thing I'm impressed with is the shadow detail recovery. But I'm really tempted to off load my beautiful Nikon gear and try this Fuji. $5,000 with the grip and 16-55 lens in Australia so I would hope it's not a disappointment. Sadly our camera / lens hire prices are ridiculous so not viable to hire gear to test.

Thank you! Great information. Which do you prefer between Fuji X-H1 and Sony A7 r III for mostly landscape and birding (maybe some family photos)? Mind telling me why?

Thank you Maarten! Great video :)

6:22 "Sorry I need to film, can you shovel instead?" 😃 J/K! Nice preview...I wonder how much those cinema lenses will cost.

love your run to the car

great indepth review. thanks

Looking for your full product review.

Great review! How would you rate the IBIS to smooth your handheld video? I wish they had included a flip Out screen like the GH5... does the tethering app allow u to select focus in movie mode? Can’t wait to pre order one but no release announcements in Australia. Keep up the great content Aussietai

Great preview! Could you please test out the 4k recording function on the smart phone when you got it back? on my X-T2 I can record 1080p... Thanks!!

Great review. Disagree about including the USB cable though. It´s a kind of dedicated piece of gear that other companies make business on. I was really surprised that Fuji already included 3 batteries and even a cable clamp. That´s absolutely generous already. Anyway, subscribed already, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for a great (p)review of a very intersting camera. I can also relate to the "car snow removal procedure" as I had to endure it for 2 long years :) . Do you see the IS function implemented in smaller/photography oriented models in the future? Also would love to know if the 5 stop claim is legitimate Many thanks again!

Hey Maarten , is it possible to do a color comparison between fuji and canon ?

Thanks for the review! Quite the interesting camera!

Maarten,thanks for the video.How is the buffer for the stills?

Hey Maarten, great video again! What is your take on using Auto-ISO for videos on the X-H1... on the X-T2, the transition from dark to bright room was a bit jerky. Do you recommend using Auto-ISO at all??

very thorough! always enjoy your reviews.. subscribed too by the way. :)

Thanks for the preview! Could you test the anti flicker mode when you receive a model? Debating if I should wait for the x-h1 or go for the D500.

123 testing. Strange, it shows there's 47 comments, but I can't see any of them. I can now see my test message. I can see comments under all other videos, just not this one!

Excellent! Thank you!

I just bought my 2nd H1 at CAD$1000 a few days before❤

Thank very much for your video, it's helpfull and X-H1 seems promising ...Just one question : will the video record stop when one of the battery in the grip is discharged ? Or can we use the three batterie simultaneously ? Thank's for your answer !

Hey, nice trick using your camera to get your wife to shovel the walk! :D

Tried this Camera today looking to buy X-H1 moving from d5500 liked it a lot but like I kept touching the Q button buy accident annoying can it be turn off. good review thanks

Great review. I have the A7Rii looking to get the R3 // but this look like a great video competitor. What are your thoughts on the auto focus censors vs A7riii?

Great review Maarten, will Fuji release the Graphite edition on this model

That was quick!

Love the running to your car,lol,lol

wow this is the first!

Well done again! Sir

If I remember rightly, one of the selling points of mirrorless cameras initially was the small size and weight..now were looking at a DSLR size fujifilm..think I’ll stick with my Nikon’s..not saying it’s not a wonderful camera because I’m sure it is but can’t help but feel they’ve lost sight of the size issue..(along with my Nikon’s I do have the original x100 so I’m not anti Fujifilm 👍

Wonder full review.... I am sri Lankan, do you know the website can buy used Fuji camera?

Nice one Maarten :D

Hello I wonder if it works well to shoot film with any of Fuji primes, such as the Fujinon XF 56 / 1.2 R or Fujinon XF 35 / 1.4? No problems with Jitter etc? Is there any difference compared to filming with a zoom? Thanks for a good review/ Video!

Maybe I missed it, are there custom modes that are easily available - in stills and video?

Thanks for the mini review Martin - excellent as always. I've just bought into the Fujifilm system from Nikon (I got an X-T2 and X-T20). At first glance I don't think the X-H1 is enough to tempt me away from either camera as the increased video capability and physical size doesn't interest me. Are there any significant improvements in still shooting from the X-T's that could make this camera an option?

Wish audio i/p could be set to line. Ah well,

I hope I can trade in my X-T2 for one of these

Please review GX9 too!

hahaha "It's not going to be a short review" This camera sounds exciting. The video samples so far are great.

Maybe eye AF only in Full HD, not 4k?

Lol, love the demonstration. @0:08

Question.. what does fuji means with regards to “up to 5.5 stops of effective IBIS”?

Presumably for PAL markets we are going to get 25 fps?

Thanks Maarten for another informative review. I am just wondering why Fujifilm is not offering full frame sensors, especially for this price point, which Sony has many full frame options. Is there any technical reasons, or ....

Hello Maarten, thanks for the great video. Just a quick question about the audio input. Is it a 3.5 or 2.5mm jack?

What camera settings would you recommend to get the best images out of eterna? Would you up the shadows?

Well, that's one way to get the wife to shovel the sidewalk ;)

5:41 Is this walking shot taken with IBIS enabled and without using a gimbal? What lens did you use? It looks very smooth and no warping in the corners, if that's only the IBIS at work then it's working very well, impressive.

Thank u Marteen. Can you ask Fuji why they keep using the same battery while competitor flagmans in mirrorless had all updated to larger capacity batteries. With a larger grip now I am sure Fuji had space to include a large capacity battery. Instead they use the same battery and specs say it now decreases life to 310 shots per battery. Understandably, IBIS eats battery.

What is your initial impression of the in-camera audio preamp?
