Well if you had used the SD card previously it'll start with whatever number you ended. However, if when you took the camera out of the box, and the plastic wrapping did not have the little silver tag, then it was opened previously.

I have four grandkids. from 8 months old, to 8 years old. I use my XT2 with my 16-55 or my 50-140 2.8. They are a bit faster than the 35 1.4 (Which I also own and LOVE) but it's not for kids as the focusing is slow. I also set the camera to a AF-C on the front button, and change the focusing to a zone instead of single point. I've also used my 18-55, 23 1.4 to shoot the kids with really great results. Let us know how you make out.

SAME HERE!!! i'd love to be able to choose between different aspect ratios.

Not sure what to say here. If it's under warranty I guess you have no choice but wait, test, and decide. But if you are paying for this, and have an estimate, you can get a new X-H1 w grip for 1299.00 US. I know this isn't much help to you, but if it were me, and I had to pay to have the camera repaired I don't think I would do so.

I can't answer that. BUT I returned my X-T3 and bought the X-H1 with the grip and two extra batteries about a month ago for 1299. IT's AMAZING!!! I kept my X-T2 and X-T1 but I gotta say the H1 is freakin unreal.

50mb is about correct. My X-T2 generates 50mb as does my X-H1. So if you are hitting 56mb uncompressed that's about right.

water or heat damage?

I own both the 50-140 and the 55-200. I LOVE the 55-200 lens. My copy is super tack sharp, it's lightweight, and has some great looking bokeh. I've had this lens for quite some time whereas my 50-140 2.8 is only about six months old. I'd buy the 55-200 again if I had to. Amazing lens. Couldn't be happier with it.

I sold off my Nikon D800 & D800e when I switched to Fuji together with a boatload of Nikon glass. Have never looked back. Largest I've printed (and this from ONLY 16mp X-T1 was a 30" x 20" and it was SPECTACULAR! With my X-T2 I've printed up to 13 x 19 and 16 x 20 with amazing results. The savings in weight alone were worth it for me. I shoot travel/stock/landscape images and no one, ever has complained about the lack of resolution to me yet.

Take it or send it back. I've had my X-T2 since about as long as you have and haven't had any of those issues.

EXCELLENT point! I forgot about that! When I was working in Florida - Keys and everglades, I put my camera in a zip lock bag whenever I was in a cold car, or cold room and went outside -- also in reverse. Doing so, I experienced zero condensation buildup on the body or lens. But in the OP's case I think it's just dust and dirt in there... If it were condensation, the small blobs would have a "water ring" around them so it looks like just carelessness (unintentional of course) when swapping lenses. IMHO

And the reason you don't see them on all images is because you'll only see them when you stop the lens down. Say down to F11, F16, etc. If you shoot at larger apertures -- such as F8, F5.6, F4, F2.8 you probably won't see them (as much) though they are there - especially when viewed at 100% in your image editing software. Good Luck -- Nothing to worry about here.

That is some serious crap (i'm thinking dirt blobs, but I wonder if the darker ones are oil?) on the sensor! LOL. I suggest either taking it somewhere (reputable) and getting the sensor cleaned, or possibly learning to do it yourself. There are many great tutorials on the web. I might suggest you change lenses more carefully. Don't change it heavy wind. Also, point the lens opening on the camera downward when changing lenses. Good Luck

Maybe I missed something here but isn't that the beauty of mirrorless. WYSIWYG? I own both The XT1 and 2 and i've never compared the metering. Honestly I don't care.

When in doubt. Send it out. I'd send that puppy back and get another.

Nope. Never seen that.

I have had no issues now - it's been just over three years with the X-T2. Has Fuji offered to replace the body? that makes no sense and my fear is warranty runs out and more issues keep popping up. You should "demand" a replacement and hope for the best.

Thanks for asking! The EF42 (which of course I don't have in my hands right now) charges super slow for me. The flash exposure also varies wildly! One image could be dead on perfect, the next one could be 2-3 stops underexposed, and some are just black frames. I'm honestly at wit's end with the darn thing. I've tried shooting it in manual, setting the shutter speed manually, and I can't seem to nail it. Whereas my Nikons were just amazing to work with. I'm thinking of looking at a Canon flash -- maybe that'll be better; I don't want to spend a ton of money as I only use flash as a last resort. If you have any ideas, I'd be thrilled to hear them (from ANYONE)!

AGREED! Many of these youtube experts (a short list comes to mind) have no freakin' clue what they are talking about!

I owned the 56 1.2 for about a week. Was shooting an event in a very well lit area. POS refused to lock focus on the first, second and sometimes third or fourth attempt. I switched over to my 35 1.4, and the 18-55 and it was bliss after that. That happened on a Sunday. The 56 went back on Monday. Never again. The amount of $ Fuji wants for that lens is not worth it (to me). Screw the "bokeh" I can get just as nice with my 35 1.4, and with a manual 50 1.8 M42 screw mount pentacon

pls post samples.

Hi again. I have zero experience with the 90 2.0 so I can't help you there. The 50-140 2.8 is AMAZINGLY fast. Since I just picked one up, tomorrow I'm shooting a Karate Event, indoors low light. This will be it's first true test. How about if I post back again tomorrow evening once I've tested it out? And, as I mentioned before the 16 1.4 and the 23 1.4 are outstanding lenses. I have a very good friend who shoots Leica M9, and with his 40mm and 50mm (manual focus) he gets some amazing dark clubs/jazz club images. I have not tried the 50mm F2 from Fuji so maybe that's another option, at 1/4 the price of the 50-140. I'll post back tomorrow evening the results of the Karate Event....

Not sure what answer you are looking for but I've taken 1:00 minute + exposures that are just great....

Sounds like commitment issues? I sold/gave away ALL my Nikon gear except a D700 and several lenses - including a D800, a D800e, D300, and a D3. I have never, ever looked back. As a matter of fact I now pull out the D700 with all the good intentions to use it and as soon as I look through the viewfinder I just wind up putting it away again. Yuk.
