After 9 months and 23,900 shutter operations, my X100s died.... the lens fell off - but 9 months for a camera is normal for me It was my second X100s, and I originally had an X100.
My replacement arrived today, an X100T. It has a firmware design fault.
On the X100 and X100s you could use viewfinder only for taking the photos, and LCD for viewing the photos and the menu. This was done with a single setting. It's logical, as the main menu is a lot easier to view on the LCD than in the viewfinder, and photos are much easier to view on the LCD. Nobody looks at their photos or main menu in the viewfinder.
On the X100T you can either view menus and framing in the viewfinder, or you can view menus and framing on the LCD. There is no combination as exists in the X100s. You can also have everything on the LCD with the eye sensor, so that everything is viewable only on the LCD or only on the viewfinder if you are looking into it, but I really don't like that option, and don't want to use it.
If I have the viewfinder set up to frame subjects, and I want to navigate the menu on the LCD, I have to press the view mode button to be able to do that, and then, when I am finished with the LCD, I have to then press the button 3 times again or the viewfinder won't work.
This is not good.
I have trawled the Internet for a work-around, but nobody has found any way of fixing this problem.... and given the thousands of people in various forums who are complaining, it is a problem.
Fuji San, if you do, by some chance, read this post.... PLEASE can you fix this issue and let us have the excellent system that worked so well on the X100 and the X100s?
