It's a good camera at heart. The lenses are lovely, the pictures are sharp and it feels lovely. It has some horrible flaws.
The obvious one is the battery life. I am only getting half the promised 380 frames per charge with no help or acknowledgement from Fujifilm that there might be a problem (although Amazon were very helpful). It's already an expensive camera that doesn't provide a battery charger: am I meant to add a handful of extra batteries as well to the hidden costs?
It's very fiddly to use as well: the opposite of intuitive. In general, wheels need to move in the opposite direction to what I expect. Settings seem to change for no deliberate reason. There is nothing as simple as a single setting for shutter and aperture priority. ISO numbers change randomly. I don't think I have needed to read a camera manual in depth for about 15 years. Until now.
