Well for me the Fuji XT2 camera is the best designed digital camera ever. It is better as far as camera control layout than any Nikon.
If every camera in the Nikon range was as good from the control layout perspective then I would be happy but Nikon seem to have different control layouts now between cameras.
I still like my Nikon flash controls as this is where the Fuji is weak.
I've been giving the XT2 a run out these last few weeks and while I agree there are some very good features on the XT2 there are also some disappointing points.
The focus joy stick catches on everything causing the focus frame to wander from the selected position.
The AElock button is too far away from the AFlock...I am continually having to look where my thumb needs to be to miss the rear command dial.
The evf flickers into correct exposure when moving the camera around different exposed areas of a scene. I find that 1920s flicker show effect distracting. Why can't it change smoothly and instantaneously?
And I am sorry....unless you put the camera on CL or CH you STILL lose a moving subject in the viewfinder. These modes burn batteries!
I've never had a Nikon camera that ran through 2 batteries in a mornings shoot. The NEED for 3 batteries to have a meaningful capacity obviates the weight saving. And why does the in camera battery start to drain while the grip batteries are still holding some charge? Surely the difficult to access body battery should be the last to be used?
The focus tracking is slow even with boost on...I've struggled to track BIF coming towards me! I've not managed to get sufficient tracking control in any of the modes.
Either my XT2 isn't performing correctly, I am expecting too much or I need some pointers as to where I am going wrong because I am STILL not convinced mirrorless works well enough for wildlife and fast moving subjects.
I've got some nice sharp images of static subjects ...so the sensor is good.
