Now that you bring up the X-T2, what has been your experience with it? A google search for problems shows that a number of early users have had problems with locking up, requiring the battery to be removed and reinserted, and a number of other teething problems. I would not make use of video, but some of those who do report overheating and early shutdown problems. I am trying to decide between a used X-T1 and a wet-behind-the-ears X-T2. Life, at least for me, is too short to solve developmental problems, though I understand that the October firmware update helped.
