Fuji had whispered enough details about an upcoming unannounced model in the works, that I was already very interested to see the new camera. I had it for a few days – enough to do a preview and a comparison with the X-T2, not enough to do a full review, or to determine what the best video settings would be. Those videos will follow.
The Preview:
The Comparison
I certainly look forward to spending more time with this camera – a few days really whet my appetite to try more of the features and settings and experiment to better understand the how and what.
Yes, it’s been snowing in Toronto – and Saturday we packed up for lunch at Ravine Vineyards (one of our favourite places) in St. Davids near Niagara on the Lake.

Behind the scenes
The on-camera scenes for the preview were shot with the a Fuji X-T2 with the 16-55 lens. For the comparison, with the a Sony A6300. The X-H1 snow scenes were recorded with the Fujinon 16mmFF1.4
Screens recorded with the Atomos Shogun. Viewfinder(s) recorded with an iPhone8. On camera audio with Rodelink Filmmaker wireless kit, voice-over with the Rode NT USB. Edited on a 5K iMac using Final Cut 10.3.4
