Hello Fuji users.I'm mainly a landscape shooter ,therefore i haven't tested the camera for quite a long time in the AF-C functions.The time i had though ,it worked perfectly ,it did 8fps (or 11fps with the grip on) .Yesterday i tried to shoot a basketball game and i've noticed that the speed was quite slow.At first ,i thought there was a user error ,but today i made many tests and i only managed to achieve from 5.5 to 5.7fps.
The settings were: AF-C ,CH,Boost on (3 genuine batteries),11fps,Instant AF setting: AF-C, AF-C Release .
Of course i played and changed a lot the above settings ,but the same results persisted. I thought it was the grip issue ,but i've noticed that the EVF's frame rate changes when i turn the boost mode on.
This is a bit of annoying ,as it is the third issue i have with Fuji gear and all of them noticed them out of warranty.
The other two were :
1) Many hot pixels in long exposures and high isos (from 20 to 200)
2) My 16-55 f2.8 creeps from 40mm to 55mm and at that focal lengths i can't literally shoot facing the camera down ,as either the lens extends or the lens elements sound loud.
I can live with these problems ,but i really doubt about Fuji's quality controls and durability .
