I've had mine for two years now (it's a three year-old camera, I bought it second hand) and the sub monitor has stopped working in the last few weeks. The LCD will probably go soon, if the stories are to be believed. As a photographer it doesn't bother me (i didn't buy the camera for the LCD, I'm an OVF shooter) but it does in terms of my ability to sell it on. I can't afford new Fuji camera's (only new camera I ever bought was the X10), I trade up. This one, I cannot sell so while I love it to bits, I'm stuck with it. For such a premium model you'd think this (the LCD going) should not be an issue but somewhere along the line Fuji dropped the ball and making you pay for repairs when it's clearly a design fault exacerbated by normal every day reasonable use is very disappointing. I'm still happy with the output though, it's a glorious camera and easily thr favourite of all the Fuji camera's I've ever owned.

Old thread, but you could also try this site, oyvindwashere for some great recipes. I use one of these as my standard simulation. I stay away from the Fuji-X Weekly recipes, they play around with the white balance too much to make them usable, unless overly red/golden images float your boat.

I use it 90% of the time and it's in fact the reason I went for the X-Pro series (i could have gone for the X100's but I like the idea of interchangeable lenses). Having the little preview window is a real bonus for those occasions when I need to get an idea of exposure etc (I never could read those histograms).

Will do, once i get back from work travel. I was just wondering, aside from what my images may or may not show, if this is something seen by members of this forum.

Hi tldr; upgraded to X-T20 from X-T10. Am disappointed with results, images not sharp. About a week or so ago I upgraded from my X-T10 to an X-T20. I set it up exactly the same way as my X-T10, with the same Custom Settings, ISO values, etc etc, so that the only difference between the two cameras is the hardware. Both lenses and cameras are updated with the latest firmware. Using the same three lenses I used on the X-T10 (27mm, 35mm f2 and 16-50mm kit lens) and the same custom settings I noticed from the few test shots that I have taken so far that most of the images from the X-T20 output is just not sharp. They're blurry around the edges, dull colours and waxy skin on subjects. Comparing the same image taken using the X-T10 (same settings, same subject, using the self-timer to ensure my shaky hands are not a factor) they're much sharper. One thing I did notice straight away: mounting the lenses on the X-T20 is not exactly smooth and requires a little more force than what I am used to on the X-T10. Possible my old camera had this too, I can't recall, but it is noticable. Could this be a cause? That the lenses are not quite flush or too tight, or too loose, or ... or .. I will update this post with images later on, but to get the discussion moving I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Nevermind, figured it out. Touchscreen, aye, but perhaps they mean "hold your finger down and drag it across the LCD while looking through the viewfinder and poking yourself in the cheek. Oh, and keep your nose away as well because that will also move the focus point". Not quite as snappy for the marketing, I'm sure we can all agree. I was expecting it to work in exactly the same way as the LCD - you touch, it focusses. And also, a suggestion for the next update: a way to automatically re-center the focus point.

TLDR; user can't figure out how "Touch panel operation when using the EVF" works Ok, so got my new X-T20 last night, got it all set up (having had to go on YouTube to figure out how the back button focus works on this camera as compared to my X-T10, aaarggh. Why doesn't the wee square turn green when it's capture the focus like my X-T10 did .. ), updated to the new firmware 1.11, and am mad excited about the ability to use the touch panel operation when using the EVF. However, having tried all the various settings and possibilities, it just will not work. I have activated the touch screen on/off => ON EVF Touch Screen Area Settings => ALL tried using the various view modes, without expected result. I expect that when this is set up correctly, that looking through the viewfinder and touching the lcd screen, the focus points move in the viewfinder also. Is this assumption correct?

Hi, for the second Fuji camera in a row, the little thumb rest on the right of the camera (in my case an XT10) has come off. I thought I could manage without it but you need something there to make the camera easier to hold. Is it ok to just superglue the thing back on, or could that lead to damage to the camera (either internal or external). And does anyone recommend the thumbrest from Lensmate, or the slightly cheaper one from Mengs?

Hi everyone, greetings from The Netherlands. I've recently bought a Fuji XT10, loving every minute of it. A great little camera that's really inspired me to go back out there and get back into photography. Living in a small town just south of Amsterdam I have plenty of things to take pictures of. I've done photography courses back when I was still living in Scotland (using something called "film") so I'm happy with the technicalities of photography. What I still need to learn is the fine art of composition - finding the right angles, the interesting shots, and so on. Hopefully someone here can help with that. I shoot using either the standard Fuji 16-55mm kit lens or a pair of old Pentax lenses, a 28mm f2.8 and a 50mm f1.7. My interest is pretty much anything except street photography (lack the courage) and animals/flowers (lack the interest). I post my stuff on Instagram where I'm known as @zerozero31.
