    I have moved from a Canon 1Ds mark III with a 28-300 white lens which is an awesome combination covering relatively wide angle to a good zoom without changing lenses. BUT it was very heavy so at the age of 75 I decided to change to the Fuji X-T2 and I havent regretted it for one moment. I love the dials on the top which enable changes as you shoot and as you see what is on the sensor, each change is instantly visible. As to whether it will last the test of time, well if it is a good camera now and does everything you want, then it will still do that in ten years time. Technology will of course have advanced, and for example future cameras may not use the same cards as now, or even store info the same way, most people would not use film now because we use digital info. But you can not plan for major changes and can only make decisions based on current equipment. It is a lovely camera and the RAW image with adjustments from programmes such as ON1 will give you superb images.

    Thanks x-m1user that is a good tip I have turned off long Exposure NR and trust it has speeded up the saving.

    The lengthy (15-sec?) period might be due to the camera running it noise reduction program on the long exposures.  Most people turn off Long Exposure NR in the camera menu and just use post-processing to deal with any noise.

    That happens if you set your aperture to Automatic (A) with shutter speed set to Bulb (B ). In order to compute the aperture, the camera has to know the shutter speed (and ISO). So it arbitrarily picks 30 seconds for the shutter speed.
     
    See the gray box at the bottom of page 65 of the manual (the page about B mode).

    Thanks everyone for your help but I have sorted it. The AF mode was in wide tracking and it needs to be in single point for the joystick to work. Just a matter of senior moment unfortunately, not used to all these adjustments with a Canon 1DS.
