I'd expect the X-H2 sooner than everyone expects (X-T30 should be with us Q1 2019)

Having the X-H2 sooner would make sense in a lot of ways, the chap in the shop was claiming that the price wouldn't be down for long and it would only be available in store...Of course I always believe what I am told

I was assured by a fuji rep I spoke to just before the xt3 was release that the xh1 would have at least 18 months before being updated. Whether that's true or not only time will tell.
Personally I'd take anything fuji say with a pinch of salt. The whole "ibis is impossible for x mount" still makes me chuckle.

Amazon have the body for £1151 with £230 cashback. Great price! Shame I haven't been able to master mine yet. Anyone have any links to videos to help me with all the features and settings?

Jessops have got it for £1230 with £230 cashback. How's that a better deal? What am I missing?

Under a grand at WEX after cash back.
Almost a shame I don’t shoot 2 bodies any more.

Well yeterday it was £999 after cash back and included grip and 2 extra batteries.
Appears to have disappeared now.
Some UK based togs who inhabit DPR flagged this. If you look towards the bottom of the thread some purchased at this price.

£999 for the body and grip is a steal, I'm going for the XH1 I think but not decided if I want the grip too.

An "Excellent" choice, you'll certainly not regret it I'm sure. Its a fabulous bit of kit.

Ordered the kit with the Grip - an extra £200 for a Battery Grip and 2x Fuji batteries that I'd have bought anyway.... 16-55 also (£630 once cashback is factored in!)
Intending on keeping it simple, 16-55 and I'll need to get a 23mm f1.4 as I love that lens but not much else for now.

Taking a lot of indoor shots in natural light. Finding the noise at anything over 1200 ISO a problem. Am I just being too much of a pixel peeper ?

I find it a bit of an issue to the point where I won't push the iso too high if I can help it.

Generally try to stay below 3200. I'd be looking at adding light before that if possible. Depends on the situation I guess.

1600 is not an issue at all; at 3200 I would have to be careful in pp.

1200-ISO strikes me as being a bit low to worry about, I’m personally very happy with the images at 3200-ISO from the X-H1 files.

"Cracking" portrait style Fujigraph, lovely expression, great colour, and the surroundings work really well etc.

Chris, there is a post of mine earlier in this thread where I said that in my opinion that the combination of the X-H1 and 16-55 is a marriage made in heaven. One of the reasons for this is that the 16-55 always felt unbalanced on my X-T1, even with an additional grip fitted, but on the X-H1 it balances perfectly. For me, that balance, the additional zoom range and higher optical quality of the 16-55 taken together, more than makes up for the additional weight over that of a XT-1/2/3 and 18-55 combination

P.S. I forgot to add another very important feature which is unique to the X-H1. the shutter release is like no other I've ever used, if you are like me you will find that its action will make you smile every time you trip the shutter and make most other releases seem very "agricultural"

I'm thinking about getting the 56mm f1.2. Does anyone have experience of both versions? Is the APD worth £100 more than the standard version?

Had the standard 56mm a lovely lens. @addicknchips has had the APD version.

Only a system change forced the sale.
I'd certainly pay the extra £100 for the APD version. I wouldn't however, pay the rrp for it new.

Has Jon said switched to Sony then found I didn't enjoy shooting with it so come back to Fuji.

I was lucky enough to buy Jon’s. it’s a stonking lens. I’m sure you’ll be happy with either version.

As this X-H1 thread seems to have perked up a bit I thought I'd contribute a snap.
Just a simple Fujigraph taken at Dungeness Kent UK of what looks like part of an old winching system beside some of the old railway lines used for hauling the boats or catch up the beach. These are just some of the many things scattered about the beach that have just been left behind. I've deliberately gone for a higher contrast gritty presentation for this snap to bring out some of the textures.
I'm also working on a personal project called Things Left Behind and this will be one of the shots included.
