Why must video be top priority for Fujifilm? I think flash, for instance, is higher on the list? Or better battery life (without resorting to a bulky grip).

Personally I would not use both a third party charger and third party batteries. That's introducing two unknowns with possibly questionable electronics inside. I know that the Fuji charger is the issue here, but still I'd rather keep the original charger in the "system" when introducing third party batteries.

There are other Fuji-X forums better suited for photo sharing. At least with much more activity. Worth taking a look there as well [emoji4]

The last one for me [emoji4]

I think the whole 24mp thing still eludes me for non-professional use. It merely means larger files (or issues with RAW converters being unable to read compressed files) and more RAM needed for my computer. With the maximum A3 sized prints that I create, 16mp is more than enough. Bottom line, it would be great when Fujifilm kept an updated 16mp model in their line-up. Won't happen of course

I use SilkyPix v7. Much more advanced than the old v4. But not free of course.

Thanks ... that case does not leave the USB cover free though.

I still use my old LowePro Nova 4 bag. Over ten years old now, but it is still going strong. And I'd rather put my money in lenses or cameras than in a shiny new camera bag. I've been tempted though, especially by the leather and canvas bags, but cannot justify the cost

@milandro I am commenting on this suggestion by the OP. Damage caused by overheating Li-Ion batteries is rare, but not fully unheard of. So at least assure yourself that the battery has a working NTC (and then hope that the charger measures on it) to minimise the risk.

Maybe, but that is the future strategy the OP mentions. Absolutely fine, as long as they are aware of the risks and ways to prevent them.

The question is not how often third party batteries fail, but what the consequences are when they get stuck in your camera. If you think you can pry them out yourselves, and will check for swelling each time, then that's fine.

Not sure what we can add beyond this excellent article? https://www.fujivsfuji.com/10-24mm-f4-vs-primes/

Well, take your risk with third party batteries if you like ... there are enough reports of failing overloading protection, resulting in swollen batteries. Third party chargers probably won't make this better. With the sensitivity of Li-Ion cells, and the lack of high temperature protection in many batteries and chargers, I'm not taking my risk with generic batteries anymore. If you want to take the risk, then at least do the following before you start using the batteries: measure the resistance between the T and the "-" connection at room temperature put the battery in the fridge for one hour or so take it out, and measure the resistance again If the resistance is the same in both cases, then the battery does not have a working NTC circuit. That's waiting for problems to happen. Regarding third party chargers; I would not expect these to have correct overloading protection implemented anyway.

My grey market 27mm was €180. I gladly took the risk of having to pay for service. I have had it for over a year now, and no sign of any problems so far.

For my X100T I bought a full case made by Jason Cui from China (brand name "TP"). Not sure if he makes cases for the X-M1 as well, but I am very happy with the quality of the leather and workmanship that he delivered. The leather cover is great for protection during travel. When walking around, I only use the half case.

Some pictures from a brief visit to Copenhagen. Regular work in the daytime, but I had the evening to make pictures. All with the X100T. Here are the remaining pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/jthole/album/970402

Exactly!
