looks like a lovely camera.

For that extra £££ the Sony A7 III seem's the better choice.
If you have both the Fuji and Sony system then it might be best to take a step back and see which system offers you the greatest benefits, for me it is always the same, FF vs APS-C.if invested in the fuji system the a7iii is irrelevant. i have both sony and fuji -not sure which to side with.
Xt3 unlikely to have ibis and will sit below the xh line. If I’m going fuji xh will be purchased.
I tried it at Jessops this week.
Fuji rep said AF is much improved over XT-2 which isn' t being widely reported yet.
It's not too big and the 50/140 felt much better balanced on it than the XT-2.
However as tempted as I was it comes back to size / weight getting up close to DSLR levels which is why I sold my XT-2 and lenses. If you want a telephoto lens on a Fuji it's still quite large.
I feel like a traitor, i've gone OMD EM1 ii to give M4/3 a go. Cheaper, much lighter and based on real world samples i've seen on flickr very close on IQ.
I thought it was much better balanced with a 50/140 on and hardly any weight difference over an XT-2.As a lot of what I do is wildlife, generally with the 100-400 (and very often with the 1.4TC) attached plus the grip, I'm thinking that an X-H1 will not be that much heavier, it may well balance the kit better. I had to get rid of my Canon set up as the 7D2, grip & 150-600 were just too heavy to hand hold for BIF (I'm a weak ba******) I think the X-H1 will still be lighter.
I'm going to play with one at the Photography Show and then decide what to do. I could out one of my X-T2's and have a set up of X-H1 for wildlife and the X-T2 for everything else.
Decisions, decisions. My Mrs will tell me no anyway

When the X-T3 comes out with the amazing new sensor , the choice will be between IBIS and better sensor.
I think I know which will win.
What sensor would that be?
The xh2 wouldn’t be far off.

A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that the xh1 is a t2 with ibis. The improved build quality not appeal to anyone?
This summarises it quite nicely for me too.IMHO it's a good answer to a question that few are asking.
The first few bits I've read suggest the folk are very impressed, much improved AF speed (even on well known slower glass like the 23mm), the IBIS performance looks like it could make a massive difference.
In what way don't they update them? You mena firmware or releasing a brand new lens with the same aperture and focal lengths as the older models?Shame Fuji doesn't update their old primes.

I like the XH-1 and even though it has the same sensor as my xt2 the IBIS, the bigger grip, bigger buttons is a huge improvement over my xt2 for my own needs. I wouldn't have sold my lovely 90mm f2 if it was stabilized.
I am hopping to try one at the Photography Show. I am so tempted.
It seems to be in stock everywhere which means that people are not rushing out to buy it. Not the experience I had when I bought the XT1/2.
Is it going to be a big hit? Only time will tell
I'll not be buying the X-H1, I have the X-T2 and I think I've used it for video on maybe three occasions. Like most people I went mirrorless from Canon FF for a smaller , more portable system. I'm primarily a stills shooter, my favourite camera of all time is the X-Pro 2, so I'm holding out for the X-Pro 3
In addition you must use Fuji lenses or the IBIS cannot operate properly. No legacy lenses.
.
I'm confused here. This "review" says it will.
"The IBIS works in combination with optical image stabilisation (OIS), when this is in the lens, and will work with third-party lenses attached to an adapter."

I’m not convinced that size is the main selling point of mirrorless anymore, in fact personally I find most mirrorless bodies too small without at least an additional Hand-Grip (Fuji/Sony) - so a series of slightly larger (still small by DSLR standards) bodies with mirrorless tech would be a godsend for me! (And save me spending an extra £100 on a grip!!!)
