Re: Is A Tough Choice

I`m slightly different in as much as the fit and feel of a camera is just as important as the output (I`m getting on a bit now and like cars I look for comfort rather than out and out speed)

So I recently plumped for the XH1 and although my other Fuji cameras have been fine in general the XH1 has IMHO finally bought Fuji to life. It now handles every bit as good as any of the many many FF and APC cameras that I have had( and I have had a lot of them) This has given me the perfect fit a feel in the hand lighter than the Canons and Nikons that I have owned coupled to that the IBIS and the superb Fuji lenses. Battery power could be better but how much room does one or two spares take up? If you have a number of Fuji lenses then I would if I were you pop along to a dealer and handle the XH1. Every time I pick it up I smile, the only downside is that I haven`t used my XT2 since buying it and walks with two cameras isn`t on now although the thought of having two lenses on hand without having to swap them between cameras is appealing at times. (maybe I can talk my wife into carrying the other one on her shoulder along with the flask of tea and sandwiches

Seriously, if you can afford the XH1 then do handle one before making your choice.
