For me, there are minor quirks that are on the level of what to expect from any camera system. I have lost a screw from my X-T2 and had some minor paint issues, so I would be willing to accept that build quality may not be as high as Canon or Nikon. But in particular, Fuji's size, image quality, lenses, and controls are best in class, and that's a lot.

Do not actually do this. Most water damage to cameras is gradual, with corrosion gradually getting worse over say a year. So you may think you're fine, but you may have doomed your camera to a short life. Also, Fuji WR is explicitly not rated for that and company literature has said not to do it. I certainly hope that the camera will last functionally as you say. I'm just disappointed the worn points become white on a black camera.

Back to the store it goes!

Like all things, the answer is "it depends." If I was shooting for a client, I would get the 10-24, easy. If I was shooting for me, hell no, give me the primes. I take better photos with primes. Exploring a scene with a single focal length and really getting your mind into that focal length is a much better way for me to work, if I'm not under the gun. Plus, I like the increased sharpness and typically lower distortion, and predictable distortion. Why not just set a zoom at one focal length and not change it? Yeah right, I don't have that kind of self control! But for a client, psh, no question, give me the zoom, I'm not gonna miss the shot my client wants chasing perfect. This is basically how I feel about zooms vs. primes across the board.

depleted uranium casing, duh

Thanks for posting about this kimcarsons, I had a much slower card in my second slot as overflow and swapping it has increased the responsiveness some. I leave my camera on while I shoot using eye sensor viewfinder only mode, so I don't run into this delay much, but you never know when you'll need your camera on in an instant!

You already ordered it, but this makes me think of me back in photo school complaining to a professor about only having one control wheel on my Canon Rebel at the time. It was my first digital class, and so I was used to fully manual controls. He told me to "get my thumbs in gear." Like a year later I bought a semi-pro canon with two wheels for manual control Sometimes, we want what we want, rational or no. I hope you love the X-T2. I certainly love mine!

I looooooooove the 27mm f/2.8. If it's sunny out, I'm probably out using it It's amazing how tiny and versatile it is. Here's one of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle, Washington.
