Where are you based Steve ?
Cornwall, but work in London sometimes...
I may go for a refurb - anyone got any horror stories or otherwise ? Maybe even a discount code..?

Get yourself into Camera World just off Oxford St, they do lower prices in-store, last time I checked it was £1649 with grip kit or £1299 body only.Cornwall, but work in London sometimes...

It's with all dealers and yes it is but it's not enough on it's own.I take it the Fuji instant discount with certain dealers is still available?
Unfortunately my Fuji refurb was a crippled duck - which is unusual. It arrived set up for Italian and locked up as soon as I fitted a manual lens. Didn't make any difference switching the "shoot without lens" off and on. To be fair, I got a no-quibble refund.Cornwall, but work in London sometimes...

Had my X-H1 returned from Fuji repairs today, having had the mainboard replaced. Oh well, will see how well it performs next week in Italy. I must say, they did a quick turnaround, given they didn't have the replacement part in stock at the beginning of the week.

This leads me to believe that Fuji cameras and lenses are generally very reliable, if they weren't then their service department wouldn't be able to return items as quickly as they do, as they would be overloaded with repairs.
Fuji UK repair had my 100-400 for two weeks, when it came back it still had the fault. It took another two weeks to get it fixed properly and returned :/

Do you have their contact number please?When this happened, both the delay to the repair and the fault not being rectified, did you contact Fuji's UK Service Department by phone? My experience has been that your call will be answered by a reaI human being who knows what they are talking about. They will also ensure that the problem is dealt with very quickly.
Do you have their contact number please?
Thanks for that. I had to deal with Fuji twice and they have provided me with an excellent service. It's just useful to have their number when neededYes, it's 0344 5532321. To help anyone else in the future, if you go to the Fujifilm UK website and click on Support, at the bottom right hand side you will see a panel Contact Us, that gives both their telephone number and email address.
After this post and my earlier one regarding my X-H1 I think I should say that I have no connection with Fujifilm except that of a very satisfied customer.
There is one negative which to me is a big one. They have not implemented the one thing I have asked every Fuji rep that I ever met for and posted on various forums. Why have they never provided a 5 x 4 ratio crop in the viewfinder, it's the most pleasing ratio for portraits and the standard size of event photography prints, which is why Nikon have always provided it in their professional cameras.
I didn't do that, but following on from Wex telling me that their £440 discount was only for certain customers I started to look around to see if anyone else might be offering something similar.Get yourself into Camera World just off Oxford St, they do lower prices in-store, last time I checked it was £1649 with grip kit or £1299 body only.
Or do what I did and get your nearest Jessops to call Camera World and confirm the in-store price then they matched it.
Result!I didn't do that, but following on from Wex telling me that their £440 discount was only for certain customers I started to look around to see if anyone else might be offering something similar.
As I was in the process of buying a used lens from Cambrian Cameras I mentioned this to the lovely and Oh-so-helpful Sarah who works there and she told me that while they had a used XH-1, I could have a new one (grip kit) at just over £1500. She also threw in a free bag and some Haribos, and before noon Saturday delivery..
I had never heard of Cambrian Cameras before, but will certainly be going back to them again. Fantastic customer service.

That's a great result. If one door shuts another one opens [emoji16]I didn't do that, but following on from Wex telling me that their £440 discount was only for certain customers I started to look around to see if anyone else might be offering something similar.

Great to know Steve, one to add to the dealers that do good deals list.I didn't do that, but following on from Wex telling me that their £440 discount was only for certain customers I started to look around to see if anyone else might be offering something similar.

Anyone use a wireless remote shutter release with the XH-1 ?
If so, then which one ?
I don't want a wired one, but something I can hand to a sitter so they can press the button.
Hey, I'm lazy, OK !!!
won't the phone app work?
Yeah but I bet you’re saving to pre-order the XH-2 alreadyX-T3 release bodes well for X-H2
X-H1 is still a better camera than I’m a photographer.
Yeah but I bet you’re saving to pre-order the XH-2 already
not sure there any many cases that i'd want/need 20fps or 30fps in crop mode. @G.K.Jnr. do the specs excite you for your line of work?
surprisingly im not currently interested in the x-t3. of course, some reviews may change that - but currently no interest
Don't expect X-H2 will be far away, I would suspect Q1/Q2 next year, I kno the H1 has not been out long, but I'm sure Fuji won't leave their flagship APSC camera in the doldrums.
well - im not sure how they would appease the x-h1 early adopters if the replacement comes within a year of release. Fujis release cycle already seems more frequent than the other brands.
Generally Fuji have been working on a 2 year cycle (X-Pro series excepted), but the X-H1 was very late in the X-Trans3 Cycle, has been really well received, so I'd be really surprised if they make X-H1 adopters wait 2 years to get the new features, especially as the X-H series is more video orientated. Its easy to appease existing users, just offer a stonking trade-in bonus.
