For sure, it's always a hazard with buying something before the masses get to use it and find all of the errors a few testers can't find.

Hi all, This is my first Fuji-X post. I received my X-H2s from Adoroma yesterday and was totally stoked. I plugged it in to charge of the battery fired it up and everything seemed great. I turned it off and put in a San Disk Extreme Pro SDXC card and fired it up again and the thing took forever to turn on. To my great disappointment I received an error stating that I had no card in slot 1. I double checked to make sure that the camera was set to write to sequentially and it was. I formatted the card and it looked like it formatted properly, but the camera still would not take any pictures. I put the card back into my computer and found that the X-H2S did not format the card. Something was seriously wrong 😥. Suffice to say, I tried several different things to get the camera to take photos and it just wouldn't work with an SD card in it. It worked fine tethered, but not with a card. I called Fuji support and they said it sounded like an electrical problem and that they have not had anyone else with this issue. They said I needed to return the camera, so now it's going back to Adoroma and I have no idea when I'll get another one as they are now back ordered everywhere 😭. Thought I would post this, in case others run into the same problem. A bit about me, this is my first Fuji camera. I've been a full time professional photographer for twenty one years and staff photographer for two different educational non-profits for the past ten years. As a staff photographer I haven't purchased a personal camera since I bought my Nikon D4 way back then. I wanted to go aps-c this time, because I want smaller lighter lenses. I didn't want to go Sony, because I shoot Sony for my day job and feel their full frame ergonomics suck, so I imagine their smaller aps-c ergonomics will be even worse. Now I'm just hoping to get a new X-H2s before my daughter's next musical performance.
