I am not currently an owner of a Fujifilm camera of any kind.  I am seriously considering the XT-20, however.  In terms of quality cameras, I have a very old Nikon D3xxx DSLR, which has been a good camera for me.  However, I noticed during Spring Break that my Pixel 3XL is taking better pictures. It is time for an upgrade.  I have also lost a good deal of weight, and I need to reward myself for that.  A good camera seems appropriate.  The bulk of what I've been using my DSLR for is vacations, including hiking.

At first, I was looking at the Nikon D5600. I even found a good 2 lens kit, both of which are upgrades over the two that I already have. However, I started reading up on mirrorless cameras. The Nikons are out of my price range; I'm a hobbyist, not a pro. I started settling in on either Sony or Fujifilm.  After doing a lot of reading, the XT-20 appears to be a good camera for what I want to do and at a very nice price point.  Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of the summer specials.  Hopefully, there will be some new sales.  My goal is to get a new camera by Christmas, as we will be taking a trip to Grand Canyon. I'm a geologist by training (though I do not work in the field), and I've never been.  I want to take outstanding photos.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
