    viewfromspace got a reaction from Mike G in Vacation in Ireland. Small Bag Big Dilemma   
    I just returned from Ireland and faced the same challenge. I have a Domke bag exactly like yours, but I found it too small from a X-T2 body and a few lenses. I highly recommend the Billingham Hadley Pro as a good next size up. I picked up a black and tan Hadley and it was perfect for my X-T2 and a few lenses, even my GoPro Fusion 360 camera and the short 360 stick, smaller iPad Pro and pencil for Lightroom work also fits in the notebook sleeve in back of the bag.. Hadley is a bit more pricey but I've had this one for years and it is now my main travel camera bag. I don't regret the investment. Like Domke, the Hadley bags look better as they age. 
    You will love Ireland, photographically and all the rest. I look forward to returning soon with the same kit.

    I'll keep my review short. It's major upgrade. Nearly everything I would have liked improved on the X-T1, has been done so. Mind you, the X-T1 is still a fine camera too.
     
    Pro:
    Autofocus is good enough now for everything I shoot.
    Image quality in jpeg has been improved.
    More pixels to play with.
    Video is now a useable feature.
    Everything I want customised is available to do so.
    Feels more rugged, except for the left door which still feels flimsy...
    USB charging! Yay!
    That stick is a thing of joy...
    *Eye autofocus gets almost unbelievable good results and is now perfectly usable and even recommended for single subjects or small groups. The newer the lens, the better it works.
    *The shutter sound is like an old school film slr, it sounds just like my Nikon F4.
     
     
    Con:
    Flimsy door on the left.
    *I still want a vertical grip, but it is too heavy and expensive.
    *The back button af-on button is still too small and not in the right place.
    *No real time zebras, please give us this for video and stills, like Olympus and Sony have already been doing for years...
     
     
    * Little update to all of the above after prolonged use.

    if you press the delete key for 3 seconds and then press in the rear command dial, the format menu will pop up asking you which slot you want to format
    Found this by trail and error Its not what in Manual says

    viewfromspace reacted to ychen in Firmware 4 - My main issue   
    (For the record - i love Fuji and i’m not a troll!)
     
    Remember why you bought the X-T1?
    “Back to Basics” photography Direct Manipulation Nostalgic / Emotional Best in class for what it did. Didn’t pretend to outdo competitors in specialised fields.  
    Now, firmware 4 is an amazing achievement (and i can’t thank Fujifilm enough for investing so much in customers), but take a look at what else it brought:
    Trying to play in new territories but not being the best. Not basic: New AF efficiency depends on the combination of 3 Tracking modes, 2 focus modes, 3 Drive modes, 2 Face Detection modes and 3 Shutter modes (anyone want to do the math?) Not direct: There are no shortcuts for changing 3 dials and 2 menu options in one click. “Fun Factor” diminished when i need an excel sheet to memorise what works in which combination.  
    To Fujifilm - i love you, and my only request for any future camera or future firmware is that you’ll keep the experience and the original spirit that was the essence of the X line. 
     
    Your Truly,
     
    A very satisfied X user (really).
