Re: Buy 16-55mm f/2.8 or primes lenses with X-H1?

I got the camera and the 16-55mm lens. It's bigger than the Nikon D7200, but doesn't weight much more. The only thing I overlooked was that the camera doesn't come with a USB cable, so I should have added one to the order.

The IBIS seems to work well. Below is the same scene shot with both the X-H1 and the D7200.

Same scene shot with Nikon D7200 and Tamron 45mm f/1.8 lens.

The Tamron lens used with the Nikon has a wider aperture than the Fuji, but the X-H1 is able to stabilize the longer exposure.

According to Bill Claff's site, the D7200 has a PDR of about 7 at the ISO 1600 setting, whereas the X-H1 has the same PDR of about 7 at the ISO 2500 setting.  So I really should have used ISO 2500 rather than ISO 2000 on the Fuji to get equivalent settings.
