Do you have to full or flip something out on the charger unit? You don't need the cable? Just plus it straight in with the separate plug?

Looks like a 20% off sale at Fuji refurb, lenses too. If you click through to one of the items they say the offer ends 31st March. Much is now out of stock!

Good grief, what's going on at Fuji refurbished? XT3 £879, XP2 £799, XH1 £719 and so it goes on. The last time I saw this happen, eg big drop on XH1, prices new took a tumble not long afterwards ... Who knows, maybe they just want to clear their stock?

I do like the sound of this feature. I wish Fuji would do it their X100 line.

OK, so *why* would anyone want to splash out on the Q2? Apparently you can't back button focus with it using a single button - you have to keep a function button pressed and then use the shutter? I don't need one either, nor do I want one, at least I don't think so. Jono's sample shots look...

I assume others here are not seeing this mis-focus issue with lenses 23mm and wider? Are you all on firmware 2.00? If you are on a previous firmware and all is OK, then maybe hold off upgrading! It's just my guess as I have received a 2nd body and it does the same as the first, :( I am in...

This issue seemed worse with focal lengths wider than 35mm, such as 23mm, 18mm and 14mm. I wonder why? Anyway Fuji are sending replacement - should be with me tomorrow. On the whole I really like the camera and I think the results (when properly focussed) seem more appealing than those I get...

Just wondering - for stills photography are you guys leaving IBIS on all the time or just activating as and when? Anyone noticed any detrimental effects leaving it on for higher shutter speeds? Lee

It's down today to £1199 at Amazon, Park, WEX etc. £100 more if you get the grip as well.

How did you get Fuji to admit that? Well, it will give me time to re-think. Looks like prices new are about to drop ...

Sadly, I think it's going back. Having some random out of focus issues. I have mostly been using a 23mm f2 lens. Never had that with my X-Pro2. For example, in AF-S mode with distance scale displayed and shooting at a subject sort of 30 ft away I can see the AF choosing anything from 7ft...

It arrived and it's a thing of beauty. Sadly, the rain also arrived so no real shots yet ... Lee

Thanks to all for their comments on this. In spite of telling myself to just use my X100 this year, I have succumbed and ordered an X-H1 from the refurb shop for only £899. Seems like an amazing price to me. Should arrive today ... now where is that text that I had expected from DPD?! Lee

Hi X-H1 users What's the real story with battery life for the X-H1 for stills photography? Are you using the older non-'S' batteries OK? Thanks Lee

I see from their Twitter feed (https://BANNED/film_dev?lang=en) that Filmdev now offer 16 bit TIFFs from the Noritsu scanners and say that 'feedback has been impressive'. I am wondering if anyone here has requested this and, if so, I wonder how they compare to the JPGs? Lee
