My first Fuji was the X-E3, it was bad to hold and I was often accidentally actuating buttons and controls. I purchased the Fuji metal handgrip for it and found it was significantly improved. Then I disabled the Q button as I was often accidentally pressing it, I also disabled the touch screen. I still own and use the camera 8 years later and it's been a great photographic tool. Maybe look into a handgrip and some adjustments to the controls before you jump ship. -
Hi to everyone, I'm finding this thing very frustrating and don't even understand why it should happen. I'm using two X-T3s and a X-E 3 and it happens on all those cameras (all the firmware are up to date): When in MF I focus with the AF-On (AF-L) button. Then when half pressing the shutter most of the time (but not always!!!) the lens slightly moves the focus motor before being ready to shoot (the focus is always perfect though). The problem is that if I press the shutter button completely it takes that half a second (doing that little noise) before taking the shot. This is so frustrating when I need to capture the moment. I don't even get why the lens should do it if it's already focused...and on top of that it doesn't happen all of the time. If it does it it's until I focus with the button again, if it doesn't it continues not to do it until I focus again in another spot. It looks like it's random at every new focusing This never happens with the 18 1.4 or other fast focusing primes, but happens exactly the same with the 27 f2.8 or the 18 f2.0. It looks like it affects standard motor lenses. Any other experiences on this behaviour? Thanks! -
I went in a slightly different direction from Astigmatism - I have both the X-H2S and the X100VI. Both are enjoyable - the X100VI is more discrete and better as a wander around camera but I really enjoy using the X-H2S with its larger grip, forward shutter button and lots of controls. -

I'm sympathetic. My first Fuji was an X-T30 ii, and I would have preferred that it be a little larger, with more room to operate controls. Then I bought an X-T4. It is bigger and the controls are easier for me to operate with my clumsy hands. It also put more settings on dedicated knobs and switches rather than in menus. Moreover, the Q menu on the X-T30 operated from a button that was too easy to activate accidentally, and the X-T4 has a much better placed button so this issue went away. Since then I got an X-T5 which I like even a little more (besides the huge pixel count increase). I still use the X-T30 occasionally when I need the smallest camera possible, especially with the same 27 mm pancake you mention, or when I think there's a slight chance it will get damaged, and I lend it to my spouse to use in full AUTO mode. But my main camera is the X-T5, or sometimes the X-T4, and I'm quite happy and impressed. Neither. I think you should try the X-T5. -
Thanks for your reply. I'm sure they have but does that mean they are better? I've just spent some time watching a couple of videos about user settings and menus from Omar Gonzalez on Youtube. I think I've now got a better handle on the buttons and dials. What Fujifilm camera do you use yourself?
