Fuji Guys: Trackside With The Fujifilm X-H1

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 13, 2018

Andrew Hall started shooting trackside with DSLR gear but was looking to lighten his kit a little so he started using the X-Pro1 years ago for pit work. He mixed DSLR cameras and X cameras for years, up until the release of the Fujifilm XF100-400mm, which let him dump his DSLR equipment altogether. Andrew offers some good advice about how to get into motorsport photography if you’re interested above and he is currently using the Fujifilm X-H1 with XF100-400mm for most of his work, but it looks like he uses the Fujifilm X-E3 also in the above video.

Alessia Francischiello is a portrait/fashion photographer that got to shoot the Fujifilm X-H1 at the track and is coming from the Fujifilm X-T2. She was very impressed with the IBIS system. It looks like Fujifilm is going to do a whole series of these videos so there might be some interesting interviews to come.
