Read the General ComparisonGeneralThe Fujifilm X-Pro3 is the lighter camera to carry, at 497 g against 673 g for the Fujifilm X-H1, a 176 g difference. Its 46 mm body depth is also far slimmer than the X-H1's 86 mm, so it packs flatter in a bag. Both are mirrorless models, with the X-H1 arriving in 2018 and the X-Pro3 in 2019. | ||

Read the Optics ComparisonOpticsThe X-H1 is the stronger choice for handheld work in dim light, because it offers in-body stabilisation and the X-Pro3 does not. It also leads for action shooting, with a 14 fps burst rate against 11 fps and 325 autofocus points against 117. The X-Pro3 answers with more resolution: 26 MP against 24 MP gives a little extra room to crop a distant subject. Its 1/32000 second shutter limit also allows wide apertures in bright light, where the X-H1 stops at 1/8000. Both use APS-C CMOS sensors, share the Fujifilm X lens mount, and offer the same 3,690,000-dot electronic viewfinder. | ||

Read the Video ComparisonVideoFor slow-motion work the X-Pro3 offers the higher frame-rate ceiling, supporting up to 120 fps, twice the X-H1's 60 fps maximum. That extra headroom helps when slowing fast action in the edit. Both cameras cap at 4K resolution and include built-in timelapse, so the X-H1's added MOV recording format is its main video distinction. | ||

Verdict
Choose the X-H1 if you shoot handheld in low light or chase moving subjects, since its stabilisation, faster burst and denser autofocus coverage serve those situations directly. Choose the X-Pro3 for travel and street photography, where its lighter, slimmer body and higher rated battery make it the better all-day companion. Its extra resolution and higher frame-rate ceiling add crop room and slow-motion options. Both share the Fujifilm X mount and the same electronic viewfinder, so lenses and viewing carry across either choice.
