looks nice and “ grippy"

If the capacity is higher and they fit they would provide more energy ...as for enhanced “ performance” some say..... “..For using maximum power of your X-T2 or X-Pro2 mirrorless camera, the Fujifilm NP-W126S Li-Ion Battery Pack has been designed to better manage heat and ensure lightning-fast camera performance. This battery is also compatible with older cameras that use the NP-W126 battery pack, but users will not see any performance advantages in those bodies..." ​So, No, on older cameras they won’t dissipate any extra heat because they heat isn’t there to be dissipated and the performance speed cannot be higher than what it was before at least not by changing only the battery.

you could modify the exit data (exif) and make it look like they come from a X-E2 (not S) Maybe this helps http://www.geckoandfly.com/7987/how-to-change-exif-data-date-and-camera-properties-with-free-editor/

where I’ve studied photography some of us shot even fashion with 4 x 5 or 8 x 10. I shot portraits and still life with both. We were allocated a certain amount of film ( and studio time) and that was IT.

measly T? He’s not amused... @Mister-Tee_3035602b.jpg

unless you need a quick and dirty image straight out the camera, to be used or sent straight away, with a Fuji camera, it would be best to convert from raw. If you must, because you can’t imagine it (as we always did when we shot film) and you need to see the image in black and white while looking though your EVF then do that but shoot raw too, you can process it to your needs much better that way.

well, I’ve never run out of juice, must be me...

Talking about “ shooting wisely” is due to the fact that uneconomical shooting is part of the problem. of needing more energy. If you shoot uneconomically you waste power! Shoot wisely and you use power at his best. I can see how a prolific shooter would need to be powering his camera with the backpack, you never know how much battery you might want to use, every man needs his energy! By the way, for entirely different reasons ( battery drain from cold) Pentax camera were powered from an external source already when the Pentax LX was around ( mid ’70) , same for motor drives which were real battery gobblers. Anyway, you can hook this cable to yor Fuji camera and with the USB to a power bank ( instead of the plug shown in the image) , this is, I think, already possible...right?

I know that they listen so you wish may be granted!

whining as in when offering the solution to a problem that could simply be avoided by some wise shooting as opposed to hundreds of the same shot being fired for no reason using up battery that could be easily saved. Yeas ago I was shooting ( 120 film 6 x 7 cm, 10 shots per roll) the crew of a cruise ship, the flag had to fly all open but of course it would keep on rolling on the mast, I got 9 shots wrong and one right, lucky shot. Anyway, if you must look at this

Didn’t you publish this?

I know it is crazy, but some of you don’t seem to have enough “ power” from batteries and cant’ spare the few seconds it takes to change one. Now it even looks like the X-T2 batteries can be recharged within in the camera. Incredible though this is the solution (Sic!) is a photovoltaic charger in the shape of a backpack. http://www.voltaicsystems.com/solar-camera-charger

I’ve shot important assignments on film in a 35 year long career, including few weddings. I’ve never exceeded the amount of shots that I could achieve with one camera and one battery and I will certainly have two bodies with me on an important job. You can have already over 600 shots ( raw + jpeg on a card I don’t know of any job that would require, for me to not have time to change a battery or to change a card) mileage varies, but there is a whole lot of whining going on if you ask me. As I wrote, shooting less makes you think more and you learn to be efficient.

because the OVF is useless to me

but the point is precisely that there is no way to know when that is! At some point, unless it is an infinite battery you will have to change battery and the “ magic moment” might be exactly then! How would you know? Having larger battery capacity only encourages to shoot more and think less.

Well, than the argument of the longer lasting battery to capture “ the magic moment" is a faulty one because IT can can anytime, after 250, 500, 1000 shots. I am not aware of any fixed intervals for magic moments they can be just before you shoot the first shot or at any time after you’ve gone somewhere else. More batteries only encourages shooting like mad and then having to sieve through thousands of shots that are all the same. I’ve shot extensively with 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 cameras often shooting 2 pictures or any given subject because of the time it took and the cost of the material. Since then I see people shooting like mad things that would require no more than a shot. I recently visited a friend. I shot 3 portraits, 2 were usable, one was perfect for my needs. Don’t live the illusion that shooting more will make you take any better pictures. There are situations in which this has a place (like people wanting to mount multiple shots together) but the majority would benefit from thinking more and shooting less.

maybe this too? @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D6pC_D00jM

Does this help? You have 3 modes. http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x100t/parts/selector_finder/index.html

When I was looking for my X-E2 I was considering secondhand cameras that, at most, would have costed me €300 and I managed to spend even less the way I told you for a camera that was used only to shoot one portrait session and never used again. At the time you could buy a NEW camera in the NL ( with 3 years guarantee) for as little as €499 so the price of secondhand was affected by it and also the uncertainty over the survival of this model (remember this was prior to the firmware update which made a new camera of the X-E2). Now, paradoxically there are less camera offered secondhand ( because sellers have smartened up and realize that they have a new camera by updating the firmware) than there were before . However shops still carry then albeit offered with a lens or two. At the time I was told that you could buy on line a ne w X-E2 for €400+ shipping from Malaysia ( but I wasn’t interested since we are always taxed in the EU). Buying secondhand is a waiting game based on many intangibles and idiosyncrasies, some times you find someone who is just not interested in keeping what they have, as I did find. You need patience and a lot of luck. Good Luck!

Have you updated to 4.1? Normally updating to a further version cures any bug.

My camera updated perfectly from firmware 1.0 to 4.0 and have had no operational issues of any sort , I have updated recently to 4.01 and still no problems.
