I would love to know how you get on with wildlife and if the XT2 can do birds in flight. I don't know if this is a good thing as I'm feeling an funny sensation in my wallet pocket.

Frankly I've never been much good at BIF, even with Nikons! I think the problem with ALL electronic viewfinders foray action photography, is the momentary loss of sight of the subject, when the exposure happens. It's ok for shots where there is space in the frame for the subject to move and not be lost to the eye. But if you fill the frame with a rapidly moving subject...you don't get a second shot. You are too busy trying to find it again and lock onto it. Struggled with the XT1 following a blackcap in a bramble bush using 400mm. I am told the XT2 is better in this respect but have yet to prove or disprove. Watched a video of two guys comparing gather XT2 and D500 at a horse race track in USA. They were blown away with the XT2 on many things but still made reference to this loss of line of sight still being evident and something you would have to get used to....or not!

Apart from our own chores, my neighbour has just had an operation so I am walking his dog and running errands for him. Today my mobile phone died...the microwave is making strange noises....and a machine I sold on eBay apparently has a broken part that I need to source and replace... if the sale is to stand. Beginning to regret my euphoria about the camera deal. Murphy' Law is correcting that!!!!!!

The update will allow users to extend it up to 15 minutes. 4.ON/OFF for 1/3-step shutter speed adjustment The update allows you to turn off the Command Dial's function to adjust shutter speed by 1/3 steps in order to prevent unintended adjustments. 5.Full-range ISO adjustments with the Command Dial With the update, set the ISO "A" position to "Command" to adjust ISO sensitivity across the full range, including extended ISOs, with the Front Command Dial. 6."AUTO" setting added for the minimum shutter speed in the ISO Auto setting The update adds an AUTO option for the minimum shutter speed in the ISO Auto setting, that allows the camera to automatically define the minimum shutter speed according to the focal length of the lens attached. 7.Faster "Face Detection AF" The update enables the use of Phase Detection AF for faster performance in Face Detection AF. 8.Improved in-focus indication in the AF-C mode The update reduces focus hunting in the AF-C mode, making it easier to track a subject. 9.Addition of a smaller Focus Point size in Single Point AF The update adds a smaller Focus Point size in Single Point AF, bringing the total number of available sizes to six. The new smallest size facilitates pin-point focusing. * This function used with tether shooting will become available with "Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® Ver.1.5.0". 10.Addition of "Portrait / Landscape AF Mode Switching" The update allows you to specify separate AF mode and AF point settings for portrait orientation and landscape orientation. * This function used with tether shooting will become available with "Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® Ver.1.5.0".

Thanks Jonathan. I wouldn't have known for a while because I did a complete update of all my bodies and lenses, two days before your post!

I have found a bug in the new software and don't like it at all. I can no longer see how many shots I have left if I set the camera to put Jpegs on Slot 2 and Raw on slot 1. It just shows twice as many as I would get on RAW only and for all sizes. It is now impossible to tell how many shots I actually have left and I have to change my cards 'just in case' rather than close to full. I am hoping they fix it with the next update due the end of this month. I haven't been on here much as I am now completely converted to Fuji so feels a bit cheeky on a Nikon forum. But I do miss you guys.

Theres very little talk about Nikon cameras on this forum these days...maybe we should change the forum name.  I must confess I haven't noticed that bug...but haven't been storing files that way. And anyway I now domt bother with how many shots left. I've started using larger capacity cards and to date never got close to filling one...so I stopped looking.

I have thought of changing the name of the forum but that probably requires requires the acquisition of an additional domain name pointed at this location. If people think it worthwhile I will do the necessary but in reality this forum is very small compared to the FujiX forum that I moderate on that has 56000 members that is Fuji dedicated. I would also need to have a good proposal for what we should call the forum and its purpose.
