Hi @pete1959,
I'm not doing Reportage so I have no experience there.
And by no means I want to be on the Hype train of Fuji is all perfect and dare not say something bad about it.
But what makes me curious is that battery life.
I got a X-T2 with a 50-140mmf2.8 + 10-24mmf4 and I do landscape mostly,
so long Live-view times and a lot less exposures.
On my last trip the calculation looked something like this:
1.6K exposures and about 4-5 battery charges.
I use one official xt2 Battery and two red BAXXTER mock offs.
The Baxxter's feel about as good.
Before I oned a 5dMkII (with similar equipment).
After switching it felt to me like I need about 3 batteries where I needed 2 with the 5D. You have to keep in mind thou that with the 5dmkII I went rather quick through batteries as Landscape is Live-view intensive.
Is there someone else with a more reportage style use case who would like to share his statistic?
Regards
