    Little trivia fact about the X-H1. It's one the last cameras from Fujifilm to be manufactured in Japan as opposed to China.

      Curious if it really matters. Genuinely asking. I have XH1 that I purchased used, but rarely use so I’ve been thinking of selling it. I’d deft lose some money if I did so I’ll probably just keep and try to use it more.

      Does the EVF diopter move around when you move the camera, like it does in most early XT cameras? My XT3 does and it is really annoying. Once you notice it, you can’t forget about it anymore. You can even hear it in video sometimes. Maybe the made in Japan thing makes a difference.

    I own three systems and also own an X-H1, and I still love taking the X-H1 out to take photos. The X-H1 is the former flagship. I admire its tank-like build and its control is also very good. I deduct a few points for the ergonomics of the thumb grip. If you don't want to buy some later models at such an expensive price, and can accept the 673g body weight and the relatively small number of film simulations, you can really consider the X-H1.

    I would get one for fun if the resellers weren't living in dream land with their used prices. It's worth €450 without battery grip but people where I live are trying to get €6-800 for it. I keep seeing their adverts time out and then they repost them at the same price waiting for a sucker.

      I got mine for around €480 they go for around €650 in Cape Town it seems.

    • @marike1100
      @marike1100 Год назад +7

      450€? Lol. The entry level XT-30 sells for $700 on MPB. How do you figure Fujifilm’s top of the line body, that sold for $1899 (body only) on release is only worth $500? $650 for the amazing XH-1, from a reputable source with a warranty like B&H or MPB is more than a fair price. €450 is dream land ;)

    • @Vinterloft
      @Vinterloft Год назад

      @@marike1100 Because the X-S10 does everything it does and more for €900 with better video quality, better codecs, more FPS options etc. That means the only reason to buy the older out-of-warranty camera would be to get half-off. The only thing the X-H1 really has is *official* weather sealing label, but the X-S10 is just as weather sealed if you're a normal person who doesn't flip the camera upside-down.

    Im new to this hobby and want to focus on photography, im dabating between choosing the xh1 and xt3, maybe a bit toward the XH1 bc it's cheaper, ill have more money to buy lens but i've heard some negative feedback on the xh1's shutter button which is too light so it's hard for the user to know when the camera is focusing or has taken a picture... Can you please give me an advice. Thanks !

    • @RoadmanV
      @RoadmanV  Год назад +1

      Hey!
      Both are great cameras and I’ve used both.
      The benefits of the xt-3 is that it’s a bit more compact and more traditional.
      The x-h1 was a more video focused camera so it’s got a bigger grip and the light shutter similar to other dslr cameras.
      Which ever you choose you’ll be happy as they are both fantastic cameras!
      I’d try get your hands on them first if possible to see what feels good for you.
      Let me know if you have any questions!

    Hello. I see you wear glasses and have an X-T20, two things we have in common. And given its second-hand price, I'm interested in the X-H1 to have a better viewfinder, the only real flaw that I find in the X-T20. Can you please tell me if the rubber on the viewfinder gives you trouble aiming compared to the X-T20? Thanks.

    • @RoadmanV
      @RoadmanV  Год назад +3

      Hey! The X-H1 rubber does feel abit weird using it with glasses on. A few viewers have said that you can either remove the rubber completely or switch it with an alternative.
      I haven’t found it to be a deal breaker and the viewfinder is way bigger on the X-H1 compared to the X-T20.
      Hope that helps!

    • @RoadmanV
      @RoadmanV  Год назад

      It depends what your planning on using it for. If your looking for a video focused camera that has built in stabilization I’d say the x-h1 is the one to get. But if you like your camera mainly for photography, I’d keep the Xt-20.
      I have both and I prefer and use the xt-20 more as it’s light, portable and takes great images🙌

    • @bigd7696
      @bigd7696 10 месяцев назад

      I did exactly that. YES. The X-T20 was a fun start in Fujiland, but it really feels like a little toy Lego block in the hand, and the X-H1 feels like it was carved from billet aluminum with great controls AND stabilization (not to mention weather sealing). For me there is NO contest, X-H1 all the way.

      I shop on craigslist. When I see a camera or lens I want and it is too expensive I do two things. First, I wait two or three days. If it hasn’t sold, second, I email the seller and ask if this is their best price. Sometimes the seller is looking for a greater fool or somebody who doesn’t know values. When nobody responds to their ad and the item doesn’t sell I play “Let’s Make A Deal”. The person ho cares the least usually wins in the negotiation.
