Is only in context of history as we look back with the X-T3 does the X-H1 seem a little "disappointing" I still prefer to shoot with the X-H1 😂 Hopefully X-T4 will be an X-H2 down to the millimetre and even the exact curvature of the nice deep grip. 4 tomsemiterrific, MrSMW, Eno and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is only in context of history as we look back with the X-T3 does the X-H1 seem a little "disappointing" It was because they dropped the XT3 so soon after. I think it would have been better to do the X-H1 with an XT3 sensor right off the bat. But those marketing guys probably know better than me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrSMW 137 Posted February 14 4 hours ago, Brian Williams said: Well the main differences between the two was the X-H1 having IBIS vs the X-T3 with that awesome codec with ALL-I/ high bitrate/10bit. So either the XH1 is getting that same codec/bitrate treatment, or the XT3 is getting IBIS... really just depends on how you want to look at it. I don’t mind which way they do it but would prefer it in the XH1 body given the choice. Just under 2 weeks and all will be revealed... 1 keessie65 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Young 158 Posted February 16 First leaked images of the X-T4. Hard to tell but it doesn’t look huge and it’s certainly no X-H2 body wise. https://www.fujirumors.com/leaked-fujifilm-x-t4-full-size-images-front-and-back/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Reid 8,593 Posted February 16 The X-T3 body design is a bit naff, a bit hipster. I want the X-H2 and I want it now 2 Juank and Eno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stathman 53 Posted February 16 I was expecting X-H1 body-like also but it seems we have to wait some more for the X-H2. Good news is that X-T3 gets what was missing. IBIS first of all and better battery. I don't prefer flippy screens over tilt ones but this is subjective.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrzalík 1 Posted February 16 Why such a tiny grip again! 😞 I don't like these shallow Fuji grips! Only X-H1 is good enough for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Lipartito 9 Posted February 17 The compact size was something I always liked about the XT series so I’m glad it’s not such a radical departure by design. I’m sure they’ll make a grip attachment for those who need it. IBIS, a bigger battery, and a movie toggle switch are the top things I wanted improved after using the XT-3. I just hope it handles heat better and doesn’t have any recording limit. More than anything, what this doesn’t have shows that there’s still room for an X-H2, just hopefully sooner than later!

I’m sure they’ll make a grip attachment for those who need it. I like the compact size, but that grip is terrible. After using a friend's XT3 I found the grip to be terrible. It's not just that it's small, there's no lip above the middle finger so when held in one hand all of the weight is supported by friction alone. I looked into grip attachments, but they all just add more mass to the grip, none actually add that contoured lip that rests on your fingers. I looked into designing and printing my own, but the placement of the shutter release means that even with a small contoured grip, your index finger has to contort to get to the shutter. It's probably fine for a lot of people, but 8 hours into a hike and I'm climbing a rock to get a shot, that little lip is so much more comfortable and secure. Long story short, that design is an absolute deal breaker for me. 1 Inazuma reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colepat 41 Posted February 17 Loved the early look at the camera. Was a huge fan of the XT3. Ultimately decided to stay with my GH5 because of IBIS and flip screen. Now the XT3 has it. My wife has the XE3 with the 16-55 and 35mm 1.4– being in the same ecosystem would make projects a lot simpler to pack for. Would love to see the Viltrox primes announced soon though, the Fuji 35mm 1.4 is slow and loud for focus. 2 JR Lipartito and IronFilm reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolf33d 612 Posted February 17 Well it’s so so. Video specs are fine I mean 4K60p is great. But the same bad grip from the XT3 and probably the same AF has me not excited. I mean, hard to be after the R5 development announcement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Márcio Kabke Pinheiro 178 Posted February 17 Still beyond me why Fuji dropped their best LCD hinge implementation - the XT100. That one and the S1R are the best LCD hinges, pleased everyone - flip and flippy at the same time. 2 Lars Steenhoff and Stathman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajay 60 Posted February 17 Hopefully they'll have a dial on top that includes memory settings. M1, M2, M3 would be nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am hoping the 3 xf lenses that are suppose to be released in 2020 are updated 23 1.4, 35 1.4, 56 1.2. With fuji really advancing in video, they desperately need these to be usable for video. 2 colepat and JR Lipartito reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though, I do love their F2 primes and that's usually pretty great for AF on a gimbal. I'm pumped for this camera. Not sure it will be my main one, but I love Fuji for photography or for traveling/lightweight cinema setup, so an XT3 + IBIS + much better battery life is along something to get excited about. Hope there are still some surprises to come, but even just that is pretty exciting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny they call the xt-4 screen fully articulating when in fact its not, the xt-100 screen was fully articulating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
