Which one is Right For You?"},"content":{"rendered":"

In\u00a0just\u00a0a few\u00a0short years, Fujifilm has built an impressive camera system from the ground up. Starting with the\u00a0introduction of the X100, which they launched in September 2010, they’ve since expanded their lineup to include a number of highly advanced interchangeable\u00a0and fixed lens compact cameras that have completely stirred up the photography world.<\/p>\n

Shooters of all styles and levels have fallen in love with their compact, classic body styling and with the remarkable image quality that these cameras produce. So much so that\u00a0an increasing number of\u00a0amateurs and pros alike\u00a0have\u00a0replaced their entire DSLR rigs with Fuji X camera systems and haven’t looked back. I’m one of those people.<\/p>\n

Even straight JPEGS from these cameras look awesome, which has prompted many people to rethink their RAW-only shooting style. The images are incredibly sharp and combined with Fuji’s image processing technology, color reproduction is stunning.\u00a0The built-in\u00a0film simulations and different shooting modes offer wide creativity\u00a0and the\u00a0resolution of the APS-C X-Trans sensor\u00a0which is found on most of the models is certainly good enough for any pro work.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick comparison between all of the current Fuji X cameras in the lineup to see which one is right for you. (Updated August\u00a02018)<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Fujifilm X-H1<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new Fujifilm X-H1<\/a> is the latest X Series camera. Featuring an even more rugged all-metal body and a brand new 5-axis, 5.5 stop stabilized sensor, this is the first model in the lineup to have In-Body Image Stabilization.<\/p>\n

Built to be an all-professional camera in every way, the X-H1 has a larger pronounced grip, a 25% thicker chassis, and the same 24MP X-Trans sensor found in all the other X Series cameras.<\/p>\n

In addition, the X-H1 has been designed as a high-end video camera. It offers DCI-4K shooting at 200 Mb\/s, which is double the bit rat of the X-T2, and it shoots beautiful slow motion in Full HD at up to 120 fps. It also features F-log recording right to the SD card, separate camera settings for shooting stills and video, and it has the brand new\u00a0cinematic\u00a0ETERNA film simulation.<\/p>\n

Using the same 325-piont AF system found on the X-T2, the X-H1 has upgraded AF algorithms, which allow for even better AF tracking when using AF-C mode. It also has the highest resolution electronic viewfinder of any X Series camera, with a full-time refresh rate of 100 fps.<\/p>\n

The biggest design difference on the X-H1 is that instead of the EV +\/- dial, the camera has a new top deck LCD. It’s very similar to the layout of the GFX. With a total of 13 Fn buttons\/controls and the optical Vertical Power Booster Grip<\/a>, the X-H1 is a true powerhouse, and with it’s familiar look and feel, it should appeal to DSLR users who have been X curious for awhile, but have been waiting to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n

You have no more excuses. Read about the X-H1 at Fujifim’s special X-H1 site.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Fujifilm X-T2<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, Fujifilm announced the X-T2<\/a>.\u00a0Featuring the new 24MP X-Trans III sensor and a much more powerful image processor, the X-T2 has been refined for maximum performance in every way, and it produces incredible high resolution imagery.<\/p>\n

With a body design that’s almost identical to the X-T1, the “2” features a few tweaks, like dials that lock and unlock, and a new +\/- EV control that lets you adjust by up to 5 stops. The camera also has the new AF joystick<\/p>\n

Inside, the X-T2 has a brand new, vastly upgraded, 325-point AF system that will track moving subjects at up to\u00a08 frames per second, and with the optional battery grip in “Boost” mode, the camera will shoot and track at 11 frames per second.<\/p>\n

In addition, the X-T2’s new processor allows for improved color accuracy, considerably shorter blackout time, higher EVF refresh rate, and it allows the use of Fuji’s ACROS black and white film simulation. ACROS is built around a more complex grain structure and it produces image with deeper, finer tonal gradation.<\/p>\n

With its performance enhancements, the new Fujifilm X-T2<\/a>\u00a0is a stunning evolution of the X Series It’s a professional grade camera that will\u00a0outperform just about any\u00a0camera in its price range, and compete with many DSLRs that cost even more.<\/p>\n

Who’s it for?\u00a0<\/strong>The X-T2 is designed for photographers who want maximum performance in a lighter weight, smaller body. It will no doubt attract DSLR shooters who are tired of carrying heavy gear, but who have sat on the sidelines, waiting for a mirrorless camera that will give them the same quality and speed they’re used to.\u00a0The X-T2 is likely going to be the camera that causes many photographers to finally switch from DSLR to mirrorless.

Your advice on lenses and on why you switched to the Fuji have helped make my decision to continue investing in the system. I do a lot of hiking, mountain biking and skiing, but at first was a little apprehensive on committing to the system. Your review of the X-T2 was very helpful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I have just bought an X-T2 so your articles on the Fuji X system have been very useful.<\/p>

Your review of the Fujinon 18-135mm lens helped me decide to include it in the minimal, lightweight system I wanted to shoot with ( I decided to go with just that and the 10-24mm - so far, anyway!).<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
