If I'm shooting a job and being battery conscious (EVF + eye sensor and turning the camera off when I don't immediately need it) I can consistently get 600 shots off of a battery with my X-T1. What I usually do is switch out the grip battery as needed and keep the in-body battery as a backup. If the X-T2 has similar battery performance, that should mean an easy 1500-2000 shots.
 
What I'm most excited about are the joystick on the vertical grip and (what looks to be) an extended horizontal grip that the vertical grip adds.

there will never be a camera to fit everyone’s needs. 

Good to hear that they may be improving the batteries, but I have managed over 600 shots with my X-Pro1 on a single battery several times. Of course you need to do things like switching off the LCD screen, and switch off the camera when possible between shots!
