That's interesting... Could it really be that the error message appears when the camera gets warm beyond a determined threshold set by Fuji? As reported in a previous post, I did not experience this issue (yet?) but I've never been shooting for long sessions that would cause my X-Pro2 to get noticeably warm... It would be interesting to better understand the scenario for all the other users who got into this problem of the "Turn On/Off" message.

I'd like to thoroughly test my X-Pro2. Does this error occurs under particular conditions/settings? So far, I've been shooting at a slow pace and never got the "Turn Off/On" message. Anyway, I didn't test the camera at the low/high continuous drive settings. The 23mm 1.4 is the lens I've been using all the time in the last 30 days. Should I try anything in particular to be sure that my camera is not affected by this issue? The serial number of my X-Pro2 is 61M07xxx.

Well, that was a 1:1 macro shot... otherwise, it's not that visible really!I had to use my Nikon D800E with the Tokina 100mm macro lens, with the right lighting on the X-Pro2, to make the scratch visible. I believe that's actually a flaw due to something that got caught on the frame during the paint finishing rather than a proper scratch. In my case, I decided it was not worth the RMA headache... even though, most undeniably, the "imperfection" is there. You may wish to consider the pros and cons of the RMA similarly. I'm convinced, however, that the X-Pro2's coming from the next production batches will be less prone to defects than the early units...

I didn't notice any difference between the front and rear dials on my Unit, although I can fairly state that I've been thoroughly checking and put under scrutiny my X-Pro2, especially after having noticed a totally unexpected imperfection on the top edge of the LCD frame - as per photo attached. It's quite common to also read about the wobbly shutter button, which is also present on my X-Pro2, but it would seem that - at least - there's nothing weird about the way my rear dial works. Could you possibly elaborate more on the differences noted on your rear dial? What do you mean that "it's very touchy"? Is it too much responsive to rotations, so that just a slight touch on it makes the dial rotate or pushed? I would say that the dials on my X-Pro2 behave exactly in the same way and I personally consider them to be rather stiff to push. I would have preferred a different feeling/response from the dials when pushed, with a more tactile feedback or a sort of subtle click to confirm the command. Is the perceived sensibility of the rear dial so evident and annoying?

It would be great if there was an option to have a sidecar file saved together with the RAW image, which would make it easy to replicate exactly the film simulation used in the .jpg output. But I wonder if that would be at all possible, without mentioning the reluctance of Fuji in giving out so easily the recipe to their successful film simulations.

Thanks for your post! I'm actually considering to get a Fuji hand grip for my X-Pro2 and I was wondering whether the one for the X-Pro1 would be compatible. My doubts were just coming from the X-Pro2 built-in grip, which looks more pronounced, but I had completely missed the point of the different position of the tripod mount on the two cameras. Because of that, the Fuji hand-grip - or any other third party base plate or L-Bracket - needs to be one specifically released for the X-Pro2. Thanks!

I've also noticed some overheating on the bottom plate yesterday. That happened while trying to take a photo of a stationary subject with the 23mm, trying to get autofocus at its very minimum focusing distance and in very low light conditions. In a few of my attempts, I've been clearly trying to focus too close, beyond the specifications of the lens, even if just by a tiny margin, which caused the lens to hunt for focus several times. That resulted in the clearly slightly warm bottom plate and a hit in the battery charge left. The bottom plate was not that hot, but I could still clearly notice that it became warmer. Like someone else suggested, this could well be similar to the issues experienced by many iPhone users after the installation of a software update on their mobiles, which resulted in overheating and poor battery life, most probably due to a memory leakage caused by the upgrade. I do hope, therefore, that this issue be fixed by Fuji with a firmware update. As it stands, the battery on the X-Pro2 dies way too quickly than it could ever be accepted by even ordinary users.

I absolutely agree on the wobbly shutter button! I immediately had the same impression, soon after the X-Pro2 was taken out of the box. I could not be certainly sure, since I could not perform a direct comparison with my X-E2 that I've sold a few months ago. Hence why I posted a comment on a discussion on Fujirumors to ask for the opinion of other users. I then got one reply only, which anyway confirmed my initial impressions. There's been also a quick hands-on review posted somewhere else that dedicated a few lines to clearly describe this minor 'issue'. As mentioned in this review, the wobbling becomes more noticeable once a soft release is screwed in into the shutter button and that's exactly how I actually first noticed the issue on my X-Pro2. It was by screwing a soft release kept from my X-E2 that the wobbly shutter button became clearly noticeable. :-/ I agree that it's not overly annoying, nonetheless I would have preferred a more sturdy shutter button. The wobbly shutter button goes hand in hand with another cosmetic issue that I've described in a different thread on this forum, where I've posted a macro shot of a tiny imperfection I could observe on the paint finishing of my X-Pro2.

This is the 1:1 macro shot I could not attach to my previous message, since I was posting from my iPad. Sorry for the double post!

I also got mine on the 1st of March.I certainly agree with all the positive comments and initial good reports on the overal quality of this nice upgrade made by Fuji to the X-Pro family. However, on a negative note, I could notice on my X-Pro2 a tiny imperfection on the top edge of the LCD frame, as shown on the picture below. Of course the attached image is a 1:1 macro shot, so this sort of flaw in the paint finishing looks quite bad on picture. In reality it is hardly, very hardly noticeable... although it is still there. I really noticed it by chance, while handling the camera as soon as it was taken out of the box. It was a reflection of the artificial light in the room that hit that area at an angle and made it possible to see that slight imperfection on the LCD frame. Other than that, the X-Pro2 is certainly well built and a joy to use.

The most noticeable difference between the X-Pro2 and the forthcoming X-T2 will be the type of viewfinder available on the two cameras. Like the X100T you already have, the X-Pro2 sports both an optical and digital viewfinder, whilst the X-T2 - as the current X-T1 - only has an electronic but larger viewfinder. We can all assume that the X-T2 will replicate all the technical features of the X-Pro2, in a different body with necessarily different ergonomics. It's definitely up to your preference to choose which one to pick, with the availability of the OVF being one of the main discriminating factors - other than the obvious rangefinder or SLR appearance. You should also consider that the X-T2 will likely hit the market at a lower retail price, since the OVF in the X-Pro2 seems to be one of the element contributing to the higher overall cost. The price difference shoukd not be considerable though, probably in the range of a couple hundred dollars.
