Did you try a servicing center? They are still servicing the 30s and the 300s here.
where is “here” for you? In the US, they dropped all support.
H1 is far far away from an NX1, the only thing it has is IBIS, in everything else is inferior in any way, and the proof will be when the X-T3 will be out, your H1 will be almost obsolete!
I had the NX1, a Luca NX-L, 10, 12-24, 30, 45, 16-50S, 50-150, 85 and a pair of SEF 580 flashes. Also the NX500 and kit lens. So I was very familiar with the NX line up and even wrote about it for SLRLounge.
Fuji X-H1 in use is not a major “upgrade” from NX1 but it is a good replacement if you need actual warranty support and service in the US. It is impressive that Samsung has such a lead but the rest of the industry has caught up enough, except for H265.
Sensor wise it is a lateral move (fewer MP better DR). Fuji’s S lens equivalents are good. More lens options with Fuji. Longer focal lengths with Fuji. Very good video with Fuji (at costlier storage). More reliable iOS support.
I am not convincing you to drop your NX1. I am just letting the crowd know that when you no longer can get your NX1 serviced where you live, look into the XH1 and ignore the random blogs that complain that it is not as good as the A7 III. We all stuck with Samsung for Samsung-colors—- if you appreciate Samsung color, it is hard to work with Sony.
I respect your decision and reasoning, I am Fuji-friendly myself, it is just I have expressed here and in other forums a list of things that NX1 does better, or more conveniently (touch screen impementation, screens, weight and size, video capabilities and recording length, headphone jack, battery life, 16-50S truly unmatched, no fish eye lens e.t.c e.t.c) so I couldn't invest on a worst system for MY needs right now, why to downgrade so early in the process? My cameras and equipment are in very good order, having 2 NX1/NX500/NX3000 and most of the lenses I need.
My estimation is that the new X-T3 will be truly a better, or at least equal camera to the NX1, but there are the new Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras ready to be released and maybe Sony and Canon finally make a pro APS-C. Olympus is rumored that creating an ultra amazing mirrorless specialized in video camera, and do not forget taht Olympus is no1 in mirrorless sales in Japan and a lot of other countries. I can't make an educated decision before let the market reveal itself clearly in front of me.
The only thing I envy from the Fuji line up is the 10-22mm. That is something I am really missing but can live with the 10mm/12-24 and the 16-50S, which is 2f in most of the wide focal lengths, like having a few 2f primes.
There are some rumors about Fuji amd Samsung co-operate in sensor design and patent exchange, maybe the next Fuji will get a little help from good-ol'Sammy!
All in all, exciting times for G.A.Syndrome!
