I think the XP3 is absolute overkill for the Fuji X system and almost pointless Its def overpriced and that "silly" Duratect coating......... really ? I sell A1 /A2 Giclee Prints of my work shot on XP1 and XP2 and the prints are beautiful from both with in my mind the images from XP1 a preference but either is fine So there's a point ..... XP3 .... Why ? People talk about Film Simulation ...... Thats only in JPG, Shoot raw and if you really must use a simulation just adjust in your preferred software ..... Buying an XP3 for a Film Simulation is worse than buying a Leica for a Red Dot ( and I've bought plenty over the years ) Dont waste money guys and seriously dont listen to Fujis "X" Photographers ... most couldn't take a decent pic and only get used because they are happy to write pages of content .... Have you ever heard them say a bad word ? Fuji make great cameras but please dont get caught up in the hype and waste your money ..... Your XP1/2 didn't suddenly stop taking great pics ... only you did that !

I have a pair of XP2's and can't really fault them I also have an X100F I really do think that the files from the xp1 and the xt1 I had were so much nicer ! Im having a tough time trying to convince myself bigger is better but I print my work to A1 and I have a lot of prints shot on the old sensors which are just lovely and yes you read it right .... A1 with no problem ! Obviously the new sensors will print to this but as others are saying they just are not the same I use this kit professionally and dare I take a step "backwards" ? I am seriously tempted !

its a deal breaker send it back

Yep it's always been noisy ... Just this thread reminded me of it Its also my least used lens

I did exactly the same thing !

I don't think I lust after new gear If anything I am lusting for the good old days ! Its Paris tomorrow and I will be taking the XP2 , then I will see if it can earn its keep

What happened !! Musical differences ?

Mine is fine but the lens is a noisy bugger Anyone else find its a bit noisy when focusing ?

My god you're fitting a screen protector not doing surgery ! Ive just fitted the 650d protector to my XP2 quick wipe and on it went no bubbles or dirt very easy

Rubbish Collector XP 1

This says it all really ... Ive already sold one of my XT1's and the other is up for sale I still have both my XP1's

You are all correct and the new camera is great Maybe I'm just a sentimental old fool

Heres an interesting thing ...... I may well have lost the plot (quite possible) Anyway here goes... In the beginning there was the XP1 which after a bumpy start I ended up really liking , it had soul it was a camera that just felt right ... Then enter the XT1 with all its bells and whistles and yes I was tempted by the new camera and ended up with 2 of them They were fine and I used them with no problems but I did not love them Compared to my XP1's they were ugly and just had no soul Yep I know I'm mad but to me a camera needs to have something about it more than mega pixels and fancy focus , if the camera feels right a decent snapper will make great pics , I really do believe that So.... Here we are at XP2 launch and I have had mine a few days Yes it works fine Yes its faster But having it made me get my XP1's out of the cupboard and guess what .... It doesn't seem so slow Granted its not very useful for super fast things but I don't snap super fast things Then I started looking at image files from the XP1 days and I think some of my best Fuji era work was on those cameras ! Ive also printed those files to A1 with no problems (I'm never likely to go bigger ) So here I am with 2 XP1 bodies and an XP2 body , I am 2 days away from a job in Paris and I am seriously thinking do I dare go back to the old days ! I am seriously considering it and if I do ....... who wants to buy an XP2 (attached pic from XP1)

Thats cool Its good to know there is no "fault" just an inconvenience Im liking the camera and the menus don't worry me to much as I don't really change things once set up apart from ISO and thats well taken care of with the new dial

right I get what u mean now If using EVF i can use main screen for changes However if I use view mode to turn screen off so only EVF I can only change menus in viewfinder I assume thats what u mean Thats not a fault though as essentially you have chosen to turn the screen off so therefore nothing will appear Make sense ?

Mine is going to be used heavily in Paris for a week starting Tuesday This will be a really good test for it under real work conditions not review testing Im happy to try this on a real job , if it stops working I switch to another camera I don't see a problem Ive checked if I can change the settings on LCD rather than EVF and I can do either Also when removing battery and replacing it the settings are ok

Well clever you Im happy to help work out the problems so you can buy a cheap camera with no faults I assume you've just bought an XP1 , I think thats now cheap enough

Calm down !! Its only a camera

and so it begins No freezing but have had the reset thing Since then all is good There may well be the odd teething problem and I fully expect a firmware update fairly soon I wouldn't worry too much

I am selling my XT1 with a battery grip , spare battery and 32gb card for £650 Its mint and boxed and has just had a professional sensor clean Considering the Euro to pound rate I think mine may be a bargain

Do you not fancy the LR and PS deal ? I have that and the upgrade (once I realised there was one !!) was simple

Prime every time

The fuji phone app is flakey at the best of times My connected to my instax printer first time If you are having probs make sure its not the Raw file you are trying to print It won't do that

Another...
