Thanks milandro & Talbot, great suggestions. Guess I won't use Windex and a paper towel after all

Hey forum buddies, Got a few smudgy fingerprints & goopy stuff on my lenses, camera screen, EVF peephole (technical term). What's your favorite way to clean these things? Are disposable wipes (usually used for eye glasses) OK? Cheers to all Peter

Thanks epscott--much appreciated. Suppose I won't be taking video of gents in houndstooth jackets playing checkers in the sunshine. Faster sensor readout doesn't sound like anything that can be fixed in firmware. Guess we're waiting for next-gen sensors. Cheers Peter

Dear Fuji X buddies, I read in a thousand places how dreadful the Fuji-X cameras are for video...how other photographers guffaw ("You're taking video with that?"), how kittens shrivel and die if you take video of them, and so on. But on a recent trip to Kauai I took lots of video: Waves, trees, things with horizontal lines, vertical lines, slanty-ish lines; things moving quickly, things moving slowly. And I loved every minute of it. As a techie I look for video artifacts; but I really couldn't see any. So...what's the root of the X's rep as a crummy video shooter? What scenes break the X sensor's video capabilities? Are my aging eyes in need of something better than $6 drugstore readers? Thanks for any thoughts, Peter

Thanks to all for some great comments about the battery chargers. Vladimir, definitely agree direct charging via USB would be great. The cool thing is the charger is compatible with different figure-8 adapters, as used by Apple; here's another one if you don't like the plug-the-whole-thing-on-the-wall idea: amzn.com/B000BSLS0W Cheers, Peter

Hi Fuji-X buddies, When I got my X-E2, the charger came with a monstrous power cable that was way too long and way too annoying to travel with. Enter this cool adapter from Amazon: amzn.com/B004OGXY72 It's shown in action below. Now I can carry something really useful instead of the power cord. Tequila, for example. Best to all, Peter (my first post, pls. forgive if it's all wrong )
