Wow, 9 batteries for 977 shots... something goes wrong... third-party batteries?
Even assuming the X-T2 is more power hungry comparing to older Fuji's...
One day I had shoting full day with 2 cameras (T1 + E2S), made 1214 shots in mode  similar to PJ's style, and finished with 4 batteries depleted (even a bit less).

Battery life on mirrorless cameras is definitely a huge concern, especially for those of us that came from a full size DSLR. But only averaging a little over 100 shots per battery is, even by mirrorless standards, a far cry from being acceptable and I believe way below the norm for many of us. I have no PJ experience and I can imagine the demands on a system could be very trying, but I have shot events in remote locations and have averaged more like 300+ shots per battery.

Sigh...
 
The ever recurring thread. It will go on endlessly between those who view images on a pixel level vs those who view images normally. The pixel peepers will become personal and abusive and the photographers will respond in kind. Pixel peepers will fight among themselves over alternate software, each promoting their favourite, with contempt for the others who don't see the difference.
 
As the thread finally winds down, someone else will blame Lightwave for waxy skin and it will begin all over again.

I often change view modes and it annoys me that I have to toggle between all those options when all I ever want to change between is two of them - EVF only and display. Would love if Fujifilm made it possible like custom screen setup to tick options on/off for views, so I can end up with e.g. my two favorite view modes only when I toggle between the options.

I had the 18-55. I now have the 18, 23 and 35 f2. With the little F2 lenses I take my camera to more places and use it more often, because it's smaller and less conspicuous. Also, not being able to zoom in on my subject makes me think more about framing and composition. This was taken with the 23

A couple of shots taken with the 23mm f2 in the few weeks since I bought it. It's a nice lens for capturing daily life

I've had the 56mm since my X-T1 so I've never bothered with the 50mm.

I shoot weddings and the 56mm would stay on the X-T2 100% of the time if it were feasible.

Coming from the X-T10, I decided to go for the X-T20 over the X-T2 mainly because of the price difference. There was also a promotion here in Japan for a free MHG-XT10 grip which doubles as a permanent arca mount. For those who don't like the handling of the X-T10/20, I highly recommend the MHG-XT10, it makes a big difference. The weather sealing of the X-T2 would have been good, but since I don't have any WR lenses, I figured just go with the cheaper body and buy another lens...maybe the XF50mm F2 WR or XF56 F1.2? Opinions? I currently own the XF18-55 F2.8-F4, XF35mm F1.4, XF10-24mm F4, XC55-230 F4.5-6.7, and a Samyang 8mm F2.8. The X-T10 took wonderful pictures, but there were some things I didn't like which is why I wanted to upgrade.
 
I'm really impressed with the AF speed of the X-T20, and the deeper buffer was a welcome upgrade. The X-T10 buffer was a joke, but not a big issue if you don't shoot sports or wildlife. Overall I am very satisfied with the X-T20 as an upgrade to the X-T10, however, the one thing I don't like about the X-T20, or should I say, the X-Trans III sensor, is the sensor flare. If you shoot towards the sun (something I do from time to time), anything above F11 causes some nasty sensor flare - much worse than the X-T10 (X-Trans II). If this happens, you will just have to recompose or shoot at a wider aperture.
 
I think the X-T20 is a beast and I think anyone who buys it and learns the ins and outs of the camera will be very pleased.

I'm surprised nobody has posted their thoughts on the X-T20...
 
I've had mine for a few days, so here goes. I'm coming from a X-T10... seemed like an obvious upgrade. The features that attracted me were better sensor, better AF, touch screen.
 
The cameras are physically almost identical... same size, shape and weight, just a couple of minor button changes. I like the form factor so that's great... and any accessories like grips and cases for the X-T10 will fit.
 
The user interface has evolved... instead of the numbered tabs in the menu system things are now organised into themed areas... image quality, AF, flash, movie, camera settings etc. There is also a "my menu" tab where you can add a screenful of items that you choose in the order you like. This is a good idea, but the settings you're allowed to put on there seem unnecessarily restricted (I couldn't add the "sound & flash" setting for example).
 
The viewfinder view is very similar... there are more AF points and more of them are phase detect, which is good. The zone mode areas are now all square (one was a rectangle before). There's a setting for the number of AF points... the default is "plenty" and you can go to "all you can eat"... you'd have to have a very small object or a very particular composition.
 
The LCD screens are the same, including the tilt mechanism, except the new one is touch. When you're shooting, the screen can be used to select an AF point (without focussing), to focus on a point, or to focus on a point and then shoot. You can select the operation on the screen itself by touching a small control area in the top right... it cycles through the options (or disables touch). Touching the screen has no effect when the screen is off... so your nose won't take a picture while you're at the viewfinder!
 
At playback time the touch screen let's you flick between images and zoom in and out with pinching. Double tap zooms to the focus point. There's no way to delete an image by touch, but maybe that helps avoid accidents. It's a small screen, so a bit fiddly compared to a phone. The menu system or the quick menu don't respond to touch... so maybe it's not as integrated as it could be.
 
One of the function buttons has gone, but the movie button is now a general purpose function button. You can assign these in the menu system or by a long press. The four direction buttons can be used for four functions or for directly moving the focus point. Both the control dials act as buttons too by pressing them... the rear one does "focus check" by default but you can assign it to something else if you like. The front one does very little by default and annoyingly you can't assign it (other way round on the X-T10... front is assignable and rear is fixed for focus check). That's perhaps the most annoying thing so far.
 
I haven't done any "proper" side by side tests... and I haven't explored the effect of the various image quality settings (sharpness, noise reduction etc), but I expect I will. The JPEGs seem to be around 11-12Mb and the raw files (now compressed!) are 25-30Mb. 24Mpixel gives lots of scope for cropping... here's a picture of the moon taken handheld with the 55-200 lens.
 
 
So, I can't believe I'm the only X-T20 user here... I'd like to hear your thoughts. And a question... does anyone know if it's safe to use the old batteries, or should I only use the W126S version?

#Samyang #12mmf2 with #Fuji #XT1.

Now I'd like to have a 16-55 2.8 with OIS for video... 

Ken Rockwell... the Donald Trump of the photography world...

Few weeks ago we finally exchanged rings with my wife. Nothing too big, a little ceremony at my parents garden with 60 friends and family members. Although my wife wasn't too happy, having me carrying my camera with me, I couldn't leave my Fuji in the bag and had to take some behind the scenes shots. Here are some of them. All shot with X-Pro2 and 35/1,4.
