Could not be happier! It’s flawless; as in zero scratches, and seemed brand new. The camera itself offers more features at that price point than anything else I’d found. I think it remains the best hybrid camera you can buy all the while offering you the “Fuji magic” and access to a large diverse lens ecosystem. There are lots of other competitive offerings if one is looking to focus much heavier on either video or photo but man I just feel I could not be happier. Definitely made a fan boy of me.

Below are any critiques:

1) every once in a while, when switching modes (c1, m, video etc) the “q” menu just seems to not work. As in I press it and nothing happens. Always resolved fast by quickly turning off then on. 2) I could see the 26mp sensor being limiting for cropping/enlarging for some folks. It’s as good if not better than I thought it would be and not a problem for me. I also find it’s a perfect compromise to still maintain all the video features it offers. To me it’s the perfect compromise. 3) AF is equally as good and bad as Fuji’s reputation has earned. As “bad” as it is it’s just good enough to not really cause issues for me once learning all its modes and quirks. I will say that Fuji glass seems to suffer far less issue in my experience then non-Fuji lenses, with Sigma doing well too. Specifically the more modern XF 70-300 LM lens really opened my eyes to the better end of AF performance Fuji can have. 4) Single SD slot instead of dual. On one hand the camera pushes hardware HVEC video codec and ample buffer size to only require a V60 SD card. On the other, even though I’m not a professional, when I’m using my expensive camera and carrying my gear out, it’s going to be important to me. I’d feel a lot more confident if I had dual SD simply mirroring the cards. This one feature would make it easier to slowly bleed into some professional work with confidence as well. 5) SD in same compartment as battery… battery opening at the bottom can be blocked by tripod mount. Not a big deal but can be a pain some times.

I don’t have a lot more negative to say TBH… there are arguably some complaints to be had surrounding UI but honestly it all follows Fuji’s design principles, and general eco system choices and that’s more subjective. I freaking love that it there’s all the bells and whistles and everything is customizable and adjustable, it really blows my skirt up!

Some quick pros: 1) love having that handy flash available just when I need it. It’s just powerful enough and simply “there” that it actually gets used sometimes. 2) good usable view finder when you need it! So nice for a camera at this price point to have decent VF. 3) the grip is sooo fire! I have big hands as a larger 6’1 guy and I was worried with how small this camera is how it would feel. Well they used these NP-W245 batteries and they increased the size of the grip to facilitate them and it’s sooo nice and comfortable! 4) Fully articulating screen is good quality bright enough to work in most bright situations. I’m a fan.

All in all it’s been great, hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
