I sense that sometimes a hardware/software company like Phase sometimes makes a systematic error of strangling their software by incarcerating it in its own environment. We also saw this happening with RIM and BBM, at the height of it, it was the most used messenger app, and it released to Android too little to late to save the company.

The OEM charger is bonkers, mine's DoA from its first owner but I fixed it by buying some third party charger which don't have that ridiculous plastic holder and they are doing just fine after 2 years of use. If it's available to you, get the wasabi ones, all the reviews have been saying they're the best ones. Sent from my K016 using Tapatalk

True, for the price of 5ds or 1dx or d5 you can get a medium format mirrorless body, and although the lens are mostly primes but each "only" cost about the same as the 2.8 zooms that are the bread and butter of these kinds of photography, and some of them are using sigma art primes or even otuses at this point.

Oh my, let's just hope DxO will support them though Sent from my K016 using Tapatalk

Try to assign the ND filter to one of the function button and then see through the lens as you turn it on and off. If nothing moves between that time then the ND filter would be permanently on due to a faulty motor, which can help explain this case, if not I don't think remote diagnostics like this can help you, you need to send it back to fuji either way Sent from my K016 using Tapatalk

If ND is off It should have similar exposure to the Nikon, are there any other scenario where this is happening? Do you use a filter on the x100s? Sent from my K016 using Tapatalk

Electronic Shutter will introduce "jelly" or "stretched" effects unless used in very high shutter speed, this is due to the fact that CMOS sensor reads the pixel line by line, and the longer the line is read, the greater the horizontal stretching, whole or partial, will be. The solution to this was the CCD sensor which reads every line concurrently, hence its former popularity in cinema circles until CMOS high sensor turn into magnificent ISO beasts. So for long you use a CMOS sensor it will not act like it has a global shutter, any future tech to alleviate this effect will be based on reading the same exposure multiple times within the designated shutter speed rather than reading it once in the desired shutter speed. If you want silence then I suggest to buy either one of the X100 series or the new X70 since they have leaf shutter, I use the x100 which has an abysmal autofocus which means I always get noticed before I got the focus right but I guess the newer T as I tried it was so fast it would get a pic before anyone noticed.
