Pros: Ergonomics, image quality, film simulation modes, Build quality, EVF
Cons: Battery life, Q menu
Opinion: Coming from the GFX and Nikon system, the layout is very intuitive. I love the manual controls and simplified menus. The build quality is excellent. I found the IBIS to work quite well and was able to get very usable images with non-OIS lenses at relatively slow shutter speeds (e.g. 1/4 sec., etc.). Most important...the images are quite impressive. If you shot Fuji films, the film simulation modes are really very nice; rendering color fidelity nearly identical to the actual emulsions. I do not shoot video so I cannot comment on that. I do not care for the 'Q' (quick) menu feature. The activation button is on the ergonomic thumb rest and I frequently bump this. The 'Q' menu can be deactivated on the GFX, but not the XH-1. Perhaps this will be addressed in a future firmware update. Interestingly, the 'Q' menu activation button was moved adjacent to the shutter release on the vertical grip. This is a much better placement IMO. The EVF is just stellar! Overall, I have been very impressed with Fuji and after 30+ years of shooting Nikon switched completely to Fuji. Complaints about weight, size, etc. are all subjective and vary by user. The XH-1 fits my needs and I am pleased with it and the available optics.

Pros:Pretty much everything... IT IS DELICIOUS!! A "mini reflex" in the most beautiful sense of the term. Stabilizer, autofocus that I consider fast and precise, in spite of some previous contrary opinions, body with a perfect "grip" and ergonomics! EXCELLENT JPEGS!!!!!!!!! Never seen anything like it in any other car!
Cons:I don't know... It's so beautiful, it's so good that it seems "unfair" to me to have to find fault with it for the sheer pleasure of it. Maybe battery that drains faster than the X-E I own... I think it's mainly due to the activity of the stabilizer.
Opinion:As a comparison I own a Nikon D700, a D3S, with various fixed lenses, a Fuji XE1, XE2, and I have owned several micro 4/3 (both Oly and Panasonic) in the past. I found the used XH1 at RCE in Padua (shop with kind, competent and helpful staff!), a wonderful "camera". Not too small, not too big, excellent LCD at the rear and in the eyepiece, fast and accurate autofocus, good facial recognition (ok... maybe not from 10 and praise, but certainly from 9), gives pure joy to hold it in your hand and use it.... Many "physical" controls that facilitate settings, responsive and very fast shutter button. I don't understand why the AF speed is criticized so much.... I find it very good, the only more performing car I tried, on this point, had been my old Oly EM1 which with the 45 1.8 was lightning fast ... But we are not that far away. By now you can take it home used (but in good condition) for 500 euros, or a little more.... I don't think with that money you can take something equally "tasty" ... As for the optics park, I certainly don't need to dwell on which excellent lenses (even viltrox... such as the 75 1.2 or the 27 1.2) can be mounted in front of it. A good combination, believe me, will never make you regret the FF!
Cons:not very durable battery, absurd weight with battery grip, some implants, facial recognition and AF absurdly left behind
Opinion:I have owned this machine for two and a half years now, I have also recently purchased battery grip. It is reconfirmed, for better or for worse, an excellent "life" camera like most of the Fuji. The photos taken are in my opinion very beautiful, and all the image management (including film simulations and the choice of lenses, real flagships of the X system) offers a beautiful user experience. The editing on board is very cool and excellent images come out of it, to be sent directly to smartphones. The pros, however, stop there, with a long string of "warnings before use". The X-TRANS sensor beyond marketing remains a CMOS, with crop 1.5 for which you have to buy absurdly expensive lenses to have decent brightness and depth of field. Speaking of depth of field, the performance of the autofocus leaves much to be desired if you work with lenses faster than 2.0, and the performance of facial recognition can be defined as almost pitiful, with the green box that stops at random points in the background an embarrassing amount of times. The EVF, so much praised, seems to me in reality of quite mediocre use, and the rubber that surrounds it is constantly torn away by the skeletonization that keeps it attached to the body when rubbing against clothes during normal use. Speaking of handling, a view of micro-details and small overhangs out of the body meant that I felt I had to constantly handle this machine with gloves so as not to break it. The Q button on the bump for thumb grip was pressed more times by chance than by actual will. Let's talk about the battery life, which is insultingly low with the cost of the W126S still standing at € 70, and the fact that if you decide to equip the camera with a battery grip (available at ridiculous prices, around € 200) it becomes the life of a normal DSLR making it go to more than a kilo and a half if attached to good glass. In short, photographers be warned: it is an excellent camera and the initial purchase price is tempting, but it brings with it considerable usage fees for some of us.
Opinion:I used demanding fixed lens preferences: 56 1.2 and 23 1.4 (coming soon) and I owned an XE4 which I found perfect in size and weight. I was looking for an XT3 in the used car, I was offered the exchange with the H1 and some money in addition. As I picked it up, it impressed me for its solidity and ergonomics Of course, it is technologically dated compared to XT3, 4 and 5, but for my passion I don't need advanced technologies but only a reliable companion that stimulates the imagination and the desire for light. The H1 does. I'm not a technician and I'm not able to evaluate guru aspects: maf, backfocus and so on and I'm also a continuous dissatisfied, but maybe this time we're there. I reserve the right to write some more opinions as soon as I have used them a little more
Opinion:It has been part of my kit for about 1 year and a half and until recently it has accompanied my X-Pro3 for various ceremonies. Working with 2 completely different machines, it is easier to express an opinion through a comparison. The x-h1 itself has excellent ergonomics, it grips well in the hand despite not being a reflex, and the weight is not excessive either. I find the stabilization excellent, it has been helpful in many cases where I didn't want to go up much with the iso and therefore use longer times. Very good overall file quality. The sore points, if compared in this case to my x-Pro3, are certainly the battery life and the responsiveness of the autofocus: on the latter, I must be honest, I often found myself in difficulty in conditions that are not entirely optimal for hooking, something that almost never happens with the x-pro3 which is of a very different conception and which I consider a much more ready and responsive camera. In principle, I recommend it mainly because it is a professional machine, and if you choose to buy used in 2023 the prices are really advantageous.
