If you read the fine print re the plug-in, it states the XT1, doesn't mention the XT-2

That is strange. I have the same setup, always run in boost mode. First the left grip battery goes, then the right.

BarryB you can use any earlier battery in camera and grip. The new batteries have some heat dissipating properties to allow 30 minutes of 4k video when using the grip. I don't do much video and have often used a mix of Fuji, Wasabi, etc. All good in the XT2

"Formatting a card doesn't require menu navigation. Nice" I never had an XT1 so have no basis for comparison, but as far as I can tell, you have to go into user settings to access the 'format' command. And it is not available to be added to 'my menu'. Am I missing a shortcut?

The camera works fine with one battery in the grip or no batteries in the grip. The LCD shows how many batteries are available and their positions.

I'll take them both, I had an XPro 1 and while I found the AF to be useless for street and street style photography, I still used it at musical events where I had to be quiet. Loved the concept. Never bought an XT1 cuz I have a large Canon system which I am now selling off. I'm only ditching the Canon cuz I feel the XT2 is now a viable camera to replace a 5Dmkii, at least for what I do. My plan was to wait until the XT2 was released and then compare it to the XP2 and get the one that best suited my needs. But I happened to see a used XP2 at B&H at a good price and decided to take the plunge. Thoroughly enjoy shooting with it but also looking forward to the XT2.
