Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve learned so far.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Top image via <a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.com\/us\/cameras\/x-h1\/?_ga=2.76488085.1896123704.1523307220-38608032.1523307219\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Fujifilm<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So,\u00a0the X-H1 isn&#8217;t news \u2014 this camera was announced earlier this year. However, people are finally starting to get their hands on it at NAB. Much like 2016&#8217;s X-T2, Fujifilm&#8217;s new mirrorless camera offers a little more than\u00a0its predecessor \u2014 but not much. The sensor is still the same, and most of the still photography settings are the same. The body is a bit &#8220;more sturdy.&#8221; The camera is also the first in the X-series lineup\u00a0with 5-axis in-body stabilization, as well as a new flicker reduction mode, making indoor photography (specifically sports photography) easier\u00a0for new shooters.<\/p>\n<p>This new bulky body is\u00a0necessary to accommodate bigger lenses. This is Fuji listening to their users and trying to build a smoother, more comfortable camera. NoFilmSchool got their hands on the camera at NAB, so let&#8217;s take a look at how the test played out.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Note: The X-T2 is featured in the thumbnail, but it&#8217;s not about the X-T2. Just click it.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wQKRePKcpyU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The real kicker with this camera is the ETERNA mode that\u00a0essentially emulates film stock, bringing out the colors in a way that reduces the need for extensive color grading in post-production.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The FUJIFILM X-H1 features the &#8220;ETERNA&#8221; mode, a new Film Simulation mode suitable for video recording, simulating the output of cinematographic films. Characterized by subdued color presentations and rich shadow tones, this mode can be used at 400% Dynamic Range (equivalent to approximately 12 stops) to attain video recording with a high degree of perfection while substantially reducing color-grading workload in post processing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fujifilm has released a short film\u00a0captured\u00a0using the X-H1\u00a0and the ETERNA feature. You be the judge.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kk_da9BCCBI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve also included a series on photographers and filmmakers who have gotten their hands on the camera to shoot various styles of art and culture.

The\u00a0differences between the X-H1 and the\u00a0X-T2 are so minimal, I don&#8217;t think it justifies an entirely new camera.
