Incredible
Just fantastic. If you're looking at this camera then you've probably already done tons of research, so I'll just leave bullet points. I've only had this for 4 days, but have spent about 35 hours with it by now and feel like I know it pretty well! Pros - - It's TINY. I was expecting it to be bigger, but it's barely bigger than the X-E1/X-E2. - Fits in the hand beautifully. Fuji have put a rubber "nub" on the rear top right corner, and it's perfect for one-handed shooting. - The knobs on top are great, everything is intuitive. I actually bought the Nikon Df in December and returned it after a couple of weeks, it never became intuitive. The only thing I would change is not having to press the button in when changing ISO every time. - Rear screen is big and bright. Seen many comments saying it should be a touchscreen (it shouldn't) and it should flip sideways (it shouldn't) - touchscreens should stay far, far away from cameras! - Build quality is ace. Feels rock solid, but weighs practically nothing. - SD card slot is on the side, helps with not having to take off tripod to change card. - OHMYGOODNESS THE EVF! I've never been a fan of EVFs, but this is incredible. The first day I shot with it, I loved it, but I knew I needed to wait until shooting at night until I got the full picture - it was fantastic. Helped me see things in the dark that I never would with an OVF, it's going to change the way I shoot night photography. Being able to see exposure and WB changes in the viewfinder before shooting is fantastic - and the auto-rotation when shooting vertical is genius. Cons - - the buttons are just a tiny bit TOO indented on the rear of the camera. I'm sure there's a reason for this - weather-proofing maybe, or maybe during testing having looser buttons resulted in too high an occurrence of accidental button pushes, I don't know - but they're a little too indented for me. - battery life, but if they'd have used a bigger battery they'd have had a bigger camera. - no 2nd memory card slot, but same as above - would have resulted in a bigger camera. That's it. I absolutely love it. I've got a couple of Nikon D800s (always been a Nikon guy), a Mamiya RZ67ProII, a Rollei - but I'll shoot more frames with this camera than I will with almost all of them combined this year. Fuji is doing incredible things - if they can add to their speedlight options they're going to have the perfect setup. And seriously, this price is phenomenal for the camera. You won't regret it! (But get the body only - the kit lens is really good, but the primes are breathtakingly good.)
