I previously used a combination, depending on my mood, of an XPro1 (sometimes with a halfcase) and an XT1 (with a RRS plate and grip extender). I'm at work at the moment, and will add photos as I go as while the cameras are all here a card reader is not.
The XH1 is indeed noticeably heavier than the other bodies. It is by no means overwhelming, but it is noticeable. I personally don't mind, but some might.
The XH1 is not noticeably bigger than the XT1 with the RRS plate/grip. Curiously the XH1's grip is not immediately ignorable. The RRS extension makes the XT1 about as deep a grip as the XH1, but the XH1 grip is more squared off whereas the XT1 with grip extension is angled. The XT1 is thus a little more comfortable to hold. It doesn't require quite as much finger work and rests easier.
The shutter quietness of the XH1 is, for my ears, neither good nor bad. It simply is. The shutter of the XH1 is much much much more easier to trigger. As others have said upon first use you tend to take pictures without even realizing you did it.
The Xpro1 and XT1 both have dials which lock, and move with a simultaneous depression of the lock button and twist. The XH1 dials now have a toggle lock button. No more simultaneous depress and twist. I think I like the XH1 implementation better, although the prior locking system never bothered me much.
I had forgotten the XT1 screen moves. Obviously the XH1 screen moves more. Maybe I will even use said moving screen.
Another earlier reviewer recommended changing the exposure compensation system of the XH1 to a toggle system, rather than a depress and spin a command dial. I agree - I like the toggle better. For my hand the exposure compensation toggle is a little hard to reach without taking my head away from the viewfinder. A bit cramped.
Obviously second generation Fuji users are likely already used to this, but the little joystick is awesome. Much easier to change focus points.
IBIS is similarly awesome. Its almost hard to take a shot which is unacceptably blurry. 1/8 of a second with the 56mm/1.2 was reasonably sharp on the XH1. I can't yet pull off something slower, but I suspect I can (Oh wait, I think I just pulled off a 1/4 shot - nice).
The XH1 body rubber isn't quite as grippy as the XT1, but is more similar to the Xpro1.
That is all for now.
