The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Any idea when the XT-4 is going to be announced?
X100F is coming 4th of Feb, :D
 
I've joined team Fuji - now just to get some native lenses!! Love my X-H1 so far but not able to try out AF with my Nikon glass. The shutter is just gorgeous, and the camera just feels super responsive compared the D750.

I have kept my Lee filters because I can then use them on multiple lenses. A lot of the Fuji lenses are all different size filter diameters, so buying rings is easy...

I've kept mine too, and still enjoy using them. Actually I have never had the front adapter for a polariser and considering this (but they are not a pretty penny!)

Welcome aboard! I moved to Fuji from a D750 and it was a lovely camera but I've never looked back. Using my Fuji stuff is not only lighter on my shoulder but puts a smile on my face :)

And that is what I find Fuji's are all about. I actually enjoy using the camera, and I'm taking more images now than I have for years.

“Welcome”, that’s a positive “Result” in my book, “ENJOY“.

George.
 
I won't be getting sucked into an XT-4, it will probably be around £1800 which is dangerous territory for Fujifilm because Sony must be close to releasing an A74 around the £2k mark.

I wonder where it will leave the xh line.

Probably discontinued or Fuji might just put in the XT-4 internals in the bigger X-H body.
This will keep costs down and work positively from a manufacturing / scaling perspective.

Well, I'd prefer high performance in an XH-1 type body. Its more durable and comfortable to use for long periods of time.

I think Fuji will keep the X-H body..... let's see what the incoming X100V and XT-4 bring to the table. Will Fuji finally crack the Eye-AF / Tracking abilities like the Sony A6600 / A9 systems. :D
 
Wondered if any folk might know how I can sync my time to the second with other cameras? It seems Fuji clock is only hours and minutes.

What I struggle with is fujis release timing. They realised the xh1 and very shortly afterwards the xt3 trumped it with sensor and af performance. This along with buggy firmware really drove a dagger into the H1 sales.

I think xt and xh lines should remain separated as both have benefits and many prefer one style over the other. Personally I think xh line should be treated as the flagship model with the more 'pro' specs.

The current X-H1 with Battery Grip + 2 Battery deal does seem pretty good value at £889.
I am sure Fuji will bring out a X-H2 later on this year with similar specifications to the XT-4 but perhaps something new to add to the mix......
In such a competitive and saturated market, only increasing the mega-pixel count and CPU number isn't going to last much longer, we need game changing features :D

I am also interested to see which way Fuji go with their X100V, will they give it the current XT-3 running gear, or match the XT-4 gubbins with the older 126s Battery. Mmmmmm

Out of interest, one of the big features for me with the T3 was bluetooth, as it works with the Fuji app much better. Does the H1 have the same connectivity features?

It looks like it.... more information here... https://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_h1/features/page_05.html

The FUJIFILM X-H1 can be paired up with a computer, tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth®** to maintain constant connectivity for automatic transfer of photographs as you shoot.

One thing I must say, the X-H1 is ergonomically great and I love the top LCD screen. :)

Tempted to go back to the XH-1 from the XT-3 for the ergonomics and add the X100V if it's not stupidly expensive.
 
I have been considering P/X'ing both my T2's for a single H1. That would give me the best of both worlds seeing as I already have the T3. I have one T2 with the L bracket plus my T3 in my bag these days. The other T2 is just sitting in a draw....

Steve, the problem is that T2's are falling through the floor with respect to trade in values, I sold my privately when I moved to a H1, (and got £375 for it!!!). You can currently buy a s/h T2 from someone like Cambrian Photo for £519 (inc warranty) and at the moment they have a 15% off 'used' code January2020 making it £441. You are not going to get good money trading in a T2 especially as the T4 is round the corner, meaning that there is likely to be a surge of traded in T3's when the T4 is announced.

That said they also have an X-H1 for £689 (less the offer code makes it £585 which is a bit of a steal, so if you sold both the X-T2's privately (£375 each, you would be nearly £200 up, leaves a bit of money to get an L bracket for the X-H1 and leaves a bit over)

Fuji bodies are just depreciating like a stone, and thats just the way its going to be, its the cost of change that people need to look at.
