Type C

[keylight]

Putting this out there in the hope that Fuji might be able to scrap the USB type b that's currently in the beta versions of the camera and use USB Type C. 

• Every single phone now uses type c
• Almost every laptop released now used type c
• The new macbook pros are about to come out with only type c
• more and more hard drives are coming with type c
• it's a significantly more secure port in terms of tethering
• Let's face it, older type B ports are already outdated and awful to use

While we're at it, let's get Type C on the X100F and XT20 also

...every single phone? I think not!

Wrong. I have a Nexus 6P phone, which is barely a year old. I have taken care of the phone very carefully, yet after nearly a year of using the phone (and the daily charging required for it), the port is incredibly loose. It is not the cable, as I have numerous Type C cables, all of them sold directly by Google.

 

I am also not the only one with this problem.

 

USB Type C connectors are not as physically secure as many make out.

I agree. USB-C is the future, and the camera having USB-C ports will future proof it.
