Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-H1 Real World Review | What Camera suits YOU?

What would you choose between the X-T3 & X-H1 - Why?

I think for what you need the LUMIX, L-mount is the go even though I personally use an X-H1 or Om-1 for most of my shooting.

Just found your great video. Have owned both (still have X-H1) and without a doubt the X-H1 wins hands down. The deep grip, shutter, solid feel, IBIS and the top display window. My X-T3 was sold 6 months ago.

Is the XH1 still relevant for 2023? Torn between XH1 and the newer SX10..will be using it for Photography only. Thanks!

what i dont like on xh1 are
heavy like a stone, it body alone as heavy as canon 450D+kit lens+battery, for a long walk and hiking or 6 hours event, this is gonna be hell.
the shutter button doesnt seems durable and easily get accidental press. i hate that kind of shutter design.
i dont like the bigger grip because it doesnt have bigger battery, wasting alot of space.
the IBIS inferior to olympus, and fuji didnt put high res mode in it, such a waste of it potential.
i wish it a bit small and lighter with better shutter button and better battery.
i like the xt4 but i hate that fripi screen, not everybody is a vlogger.
it doesnt make any sense the xh1 is bigger than sony a7iii and almost the same weight too.

x-h1

X " haitch"?

I got an X-H1 back before the X-T4 was released, and recently purchased a second one. I love the ergonomics and the IBIS. I'd love better battery life and better autofocus.

Im cycling photographer n need upgrade from xt1, what should i choose xh1 or xt3, af speed n not to much video in my job. Thank u

If you use a mhg arca swiss plate on your xt3 the grip is way better. Have the opportunity to get a xh1 for 700 Euro but already have xt1, xt2, xt3, xt30 and xe1 so yeah. That would be a little to much. Not to mention that I also have 18 Nikon dslr's and 2 analog slr's but that is just a side issue😆😆😆

Qwn the XH1, but the position of the Q-button, I hate it. :-(

so i'm more of a photographer than a cinematographer, but i'm currently making a documentary. i like to travel and bring my camera everywhere i go. however, i also am starting to get more into filmmaking. which would you recommend?

also, thank you for the great video!

hi im using the x-h1 for still only mainly for street photography and sometimes landscape architecture...but the battery life is shocking...four batteries one orignal and three third party and i hardly get 400 shots out of for em and i dont even push the camera that hard tbh...i love the camera but the battery life really puts me off...is the battery life better on x-t3?thank you

I've got the X-T3, but do you think it's wise to "downgrade" to X-H1? I don't have a lens with OIS so I think the IBIS will help me for home made family videos handheld. XT3 is very snappy and it makes my 35 f1.4 so fast. Will I miss that AF when i switch to XH1?

Or u can sell both and buy a do everything XT4

x t4

It’s Aug 2021 and I just picked up a used XH1 to compliment my XT3. For $1k CAD with grip and 3 batteries it was a no brainer. Wanted the XH1 for travel with the IBIS and rugged weather sealing. Not sure if it is any better sealed than the XT3 but I’ll be glad to have the backup. I also love the IQ from the 24 MP sensor!

I love my xh1, I preferred to pick this one because of its IBIS (plus the grip is perfect for my huge hands)

Thanks much Sir
Your contribution for our heavenly kingdom will not be in vain 🤍

X-H1 👍....i own two😇
(one with battery-grip)
Only stills☝️
Pros (for me):
- handling
- the smooth and silent shutter
- IBIS (low light)
- top Lcd-display
- robust
- made in Japan
- X-trans3 sensor (no bsi)
Do i need a XT-4?
...🧐....🤔...🙇‍♂️....noooo😁😎

Titre en français et vidéo en anglais!???

Have you moved on to the X-T4 or X-S10? I don't take video but still just purchased an X-H1 to see if the grip is worth it over my current X-T3. Even with an L-bracket with a grip it's still not 100% comfortable. Not sure if there will be a perceivable IQ difference with the FSI vs BSI sensors. But for landscapes, I need every little detail I can get with these APS-C sensors.

you should REALLY learn difference between megabytes and megabits! it's 8 times difference. Bit rate measures in Bits, not bytes.

X-H1 Better Stills Camera !

I just found out about your channel! Im impressed with you as well as my X-H1 :D

Always the X-H1 because, not only great quality but always the IBIS. Although I do have a tripod I find myself taking more shots handheld (due to normally on the go) and so the IBIS allows me to take shots at a slower shutter speed when it starts to get low in light while still maintaining the lower iso

Matthew, how would you compare the X-H1 vs. X-H4? I am looking for a camera that can provide both video and photo shooting versatilities from Fuji. I had my eyes on the X-H1 (tempted by the current battery handle bundle promo running in my country), but the guy at the shop try to sell me on the specs. of X-T4. I am an amateur photographer who loves to do mostly urban/street photo/video shooting. I use a Ricoh GR3 as a daily go to, but is now looking for something a bit more. Always been looking at picking up a Fuji camera. Any comments or recommendations will be highly appreciated. Cheers.

X-T1 I've used forever ... but that hand held capability is really what is making me second guess my choice on the X-T3. I was going to upgrade just now, because the X-T4 just came out, but <1K on KEH really makes the T-H1 a winner on the second hand market. I'll keep my X-T1 and used that (or continue to use it) for landscape. X-H1 gives me the upgraded sensor I wanted, but wow that image stabilization is gonna make it much more portable. I hate breakout on my motorcycle with the tripod. This was it for me too.

I have the x-t3 but am considering the X-h1 mostly because of top lcd, quite and dampend shutter, big grip, ibis and bigger joystick. I dont do lots of video. I use the viltrox 33 1.4 and plan on shooting more in low light. The only thing I am worried about is AF performance. I dont do sports/willife but mostly family, travel and street photography. will it be sufficient? Id love to hear! (ps i do not use face/eye detect on my x-t3)

Such a cool intro!

Still sticking with the X-H1. I don't shoot much video and what I do shoot looks just fine in 4K 200Mbps. More than adequate for cats and kiddos.. meanwhile, the IBIS makes vintage glass shine and that softly damped shutter is a delight. Also, I sent one of my H1s in for service and had them tighten up the shutter release button-recommend! Really makes the half press/full press different and more usable.

Regarding build quality, the H1 is Made in Japan, whereas the X-T3 is an Exacti contract build out of elsewhere. That's not a bad thing-the T3 is built just fine but, when you compare side by side there is something about the real Japanese made models that's hard to describe. Maybe like a real German built Leica versus a Panasonic made one? Worth mentioning also is the steel struts inside the H1's magnesium alloy frame that reinforce the lens mount so long MKS cinema lenses won't flex it.

The X-T4 would be great if I didn't have the H1 but since I do, the T4's bigger battery and faster video/AF aren't really two grand worth of upgrade when both models have IBIS. Keep your X-H1 and buy more lenses. :-)

Fujifilm X-H1 is the number one... for my, after of the X-T4... today 15/08/2020... Grip, and GRIP VPB-XH1, stabilizer IBIS , autofocus in motor-sports which tele-lenses, high ISO...etc... , in video is WONDERFUL... for my... . Many thanks for video and information... Sorry for my english... Greetings from Spain, partner... 👍👍👍📷📸📸📷🎬🎬👍👌👌😃😃👋👋👋

On a side note everybody that complains about grips you know you can buy an old vintage strobe frame throw it on the left side if your right handed or vice versa easy to carry around and light . That's why I've never had to worry it. It's actually a. Great old vintage accessories checking help tweak your modern body

I'm looking at the xe3 for $500 new I track down an xt30 $400 used. If I could find an xh1 for under seven and might be able to swing it going to be my last purchase for a while considering the economic Times. I've never been worried about battery light coming from an r z batteries are light. Does the Xh One have a mic and headphone. As long as I have at least a mic port. Mostly doing photography documentary portraits I've never worried about size for stealth when it comes to street because in the end when it comes to street photography I actually try to to talk to my subjects eventually..

And the XH1 is brilliant for using vintage lenses, I.S nails it every time in manual. That's why I bought the XH1.

hi mate! I’m really torn whether to go for xt3 or xh1 since 2nd hand xh1 body only goes for $750 and 2nd hand xt3 goes around $800 and brand new xt3 goes around $999. I mostly do stills and portrait photography and I travel a lot. Can you please give me your input since you have both? Thank you!

**I’m also very curious how does xh1 ibis vs xt3 faster sensor and autofocus/eye af stacks up? Hope you can answer my question thank you!

Hi Matthew! Love your reviews!

I'm a hobbyist and relatively new convert to Fujifilm. I am also fortunate enough to have a 50mm f1.2 in my lens kit. I absolutely love this lens, but find it really slow to focus on moving subjects and I would really want to use it more. I'm torn between the X-H1 and X-T3, and am leaning towards the X-T3 for it's faster AF. I'm just worried that the AF difference isn't that much, may. ask for your advice?

Look like I'm not the only person who prefer Fuji xh1. I hardly ever use my xt3. I really don't like xt3 body feels uncomfortable in my hands. I notice that xh1 got much much brighter viewfinder. On overall match better build quality. Fuji xt3 only got better eye face detect, and that's it everything else is the same.. and you forgot to mention that Fuji xh1 got awesome Trigger. Really you could not compare those to camera xh1 is much much better.

Nice review:) what do you think when i say wildlife? would you choose xt3 because of shutterspeed or go with xh1 because of IBIS?

Hi !
Is the XH-1 very slow compared to the XT-3?

What camera has better image quality?

I hate that Fuji replaced the damn EV Comp wheel with a crappy LCD and that’s the biggest reason why I’ve hated that camera so much. To me, the X-Tx bodies have the perfect control layouts and now you can have that with the X-T4 for a premium.

xt30 vs xh1 which one for video?

Picked up a pristine X-H1 with only 7K actuations on FredMiranda for only $700. Coming from an X-T2, I am very impressed with this body. I don't think the XT3 is worth the $500 difference in price (new).

so, if i was shooting landscapes/seascapes only, roughly what is the battery life, baring in mind using a tripod the ibis would be turned off?

best place in us to buy at discount but with warranty?

I got an offer from my camera store for the X-H1. 799 Euros, a very good price. Unfortunately I'm not into Fuji and I can't get a lens for the kit-price.
How many photos/minutes 4k video does the battery last in real life? (you said something about 10-15 minutes "less" - didn't understand that)

Thanks for you insight. I have an XH-1 mainly for stills but tempted to buy the XT-3 for video purposes only. I'm into real estate photography and just starting out doing video.

For me, the X-H1, in fact I have slightly more than one, and with the battery grip.

The ergonomics, the stabilisation and the stronger lens mount were the deciding factors.

The Ibis means I get the same sort of low light stability from my primes that I previously got with just the stabilised zooms. Handy to have when you need it.
