About a touchscreen; at first I didn't use it on the X70, but when I tried the touch to focus, I found it's a really neat feature.
Hope it in the X-T2 also. Turn it off if one don't like it. And adding touch capabilities to a screen is relatively cheap these days, so cost should not be an issue.
Can you (or others who have expressed happiness about lack of touch screen) help me understand your position? I am honestly interested in understanding your point of view, as Fuji does a great job of listening to customers, and it seems like there are plenty of people who don't want a touch screen and speak their minds on a regular basis about this. Here is why your comments confuse me: why would you object to a feature that is so easily ignored? You do realize that even if Fuji didn't allow you to turn it off in the Settings, you could simply not use it, right? Unlike so many other features that drastically change the look, weight, size, functionality of the camera, a touch screen is going to have no impact on someone like you, who could simply ignore it and use the buttons instead. I will speak for those of us on the other team, who find it extremely clumsy and frustrating to have to push clicking physical buttons for something so simple like zooming into a check focus. The ease of use of a touch screen is clear when you consider the explosion of smartphones, so why is there so much dislike of this concept in the Fuji user community, when again, you could simply just ignore it if you don't want it? Much like that silly sync portal on the front of the XT1 that 99% of us all ignore.
