Hi, Hakeem. I successfully sent in the body for warranty work. I don't have the work order in front of me, but I remember that they replaced the entire top portion of the camera. I had it back in less than 2 weeks. Maybe 10 days or so. Camera has been working fine ever since. Thanks!

Spoke to Fuji Tech Support. They want me to send the body in for warranty work. Shipped out today. They said about 2 weeks until shipped back as an estimate. I should have a definitive date by the end of the week.

Yes, I meant the eye sensor, not the image sensor. Sorry, I thought that I said the model. I have the X-T10. I have scrolled through the VF options, but nothing. A reset did not even help. Looks like a call to Fuji is next.

I was hoping someone may have an idea before I try to reset the camera. I have always used the Eye Sensor setting and it has worked without issue. This Christmas I switched to just LCD because I let me wife and mother-in-law take a few pictures. I noticed that the flash stuck (before I handed it to them to use) and would not flip up by itself. I needed to put my fingernail in the gap to help it open. Coincidentally, when I switched it back to Eye Sensor mode, the camera no longer switches to the LCD. It stays on Eye Sensor. Also, EVF + Eye Sensor does not seem to turn off the EVF. I can see into it when I hold it at arms length. Is there an issue with my camera? I keep it in an ONA bag when not in use and I don't remember it hitting anything and definitely not falling. I have tried cleaning the sensor, but that did nothing. BTW, the LCD works fine if I turn it to that setting. Thanks, -Lou

I prefer the cross body straps versus straight neck straps. I find the cross body gives me the most control over where the camera is as I move or bend over, etc. I have a Gordy's on order, but have been using the nylon strap off my Nikon 24-70 nylon case. It adds to the retro look because it looks like a cheap point and shoot style strap (minus any logos). A cross body strap will still allow you to "shoot from the hip". With the flip screen of some of the X Series cameras, you can "pretend" to be fiddling with your camera but frame and compose a shot in that manner.

I am very accustomed to carrying a "murse" around. I am usually carrying a Waterfield Design Muzetto on most days. If it was thicker than 2.5 inches, I would just use it to throw my body, lens, and extra accessories in. However, it is much too narrow. As far as camera bags, what I already own are too big for a decent street bag for a mirrorless system. My two main bags are the Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home (older version from around 2008 or 2009) for my DSLR "day bag" and the Amazon Basic camera/laptop backpack for my "travel/vacation" bag when I want to take a variety of equipment. I use the free Nikon camera bag that came with my Nikon D300 as may extra equipment storage bag (wireless triggers, extra cables, etc.) and looks WAY too much like a camera bag to consider taking outside to walk around. I have been using a cheap Caselogic bag that holds not much more than a single lens and a few small mass accessories. ​Essentially, I am seeking out a day/walk-about/street bag to carry the following: X-T10 + 27mm or 35 f/2 or 23mm 18-55 kit lens Extra batteries (3-4) iPad Air Apple SD card lightning adapter iPhone 6 iPhone/iPad charger Wallet Car keys Moleskine Large (8x5 inches) Pens Reading glasses Extra SD cards A plus but not 100% necessary additional items: Fuji charger Water bottle Snacks Overall, I would like the bag to be as close to 11"x9"x4" deep. Although weight is always a consideration (not a factor ), it needs to look equally good while wearing a casual outfit or a suit and tie.
