Fujifilm's New X-H1 Their First Camera With IBIS

Posted by Broadway Camera on 2018-02-15

Fujifilm introduced their latest X-Series camera today with the  X-H1, a 4K photo/video camera that's the first in their lineup with In-Body Image Stabilization.

The  X-H1 features the same 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and high-performance X-Processor Pro we've seen in the current lineup of Fujifilm cameras including the X-T2 and X-Pro2. Video modes now support up to DCI 4K (4096x2160) in a digital cinema aspect ratio of 17:9 at up to a bit rate of 200Mbps. High-speed video recording supports up to 120fps in 1080p.

The 5-axis image stabilization compensates for up the equivalent of 5.5 stops with it's three gyro sensors. The IBIS system is compatible with all existing Fujifilm XF and XC lenses.

Some other improvements include a special program to "eliminate exposure instability caused by flickering lights" and a new focus algorithms for continuous focus tracking. 

The  X-H1 is based off a magnesium alloy body that's thicker and more rugged than that of the Fujifilm X-T2, featuring weather-, dust- and cold-resistance designed for use in harsh outdoor conditions.

There's a new 1.28" customizable LCD on top of the camera, similar to that found on the  Fujifilm GFX 50S, that displays information such as exposure compensation and white balance. On the side is a 3.5mm microphone port, a 2.5mm remote control input as well as USB 3.0 and micro HDMI connectivity.

The optional VPB-XH1 Vertical Power Booster adds space for two additional NP-W126S batteries, which improves battery life to "approximately 900" shots per charge. It also ups the frames-per-second to 11 from 8FPS without the grip. 

The  Fujifilm X-H1 is expected to arrive in stores March 1st at a MSRP of $2,449.99 for the body and $2,799.99 as a kit with the VPB-XH1 Vertical Battery Grip. Pre-orders are available now!
