Still having problems with the MF and the focus peaking. The colour highlites don't seem to work as well as on my XT10, need to have higher contrast and good light for the peaking to work. Maybe it will get better with time, and maybe it was because I was shooting close ups of berries in a forest.
However, really enjoying this camera and starting to get that fun factor that my other Fuji cameras have. The AF is better than the XT10 IMO. Was able to get runners in the forest in focus, which is usually difficult. Enjoying the touch screen, tho still need more practice
Here’s mine...

I agree with the touchscreen controls need a lot of work. So much they’re not reliable. I like the shutter feel. It has a snap to it. It seems pretty good with certain lenses. I’ll have to play with mine more since I’m used to the XH1 now. I definitely agree about the focus peaking, I can’t tell anything so hopefully a firmware can fix that a tad. But the viewfinder is good for a smaller camera like this. Probably on par with the XT1 at least.
I agree with most of the above (though the shutter is simply the same model as found in the X-T20 and X-E3 as far as I can tell and happens to be louder than the X-H1's unusually quiet shutter). However, I wouldn't agree with that last sentence (I have the X-T100, used to have an X-T1 and have the other models I mention in the current range). The EVF is on a par with the X-T20 and X-E3 (it's the same unit, and in the case of the X-T20, has the exact same eyepiece - only the rear of the moulding surround is different, to allow it to be joined to the different-shaped faux prism). They're not on a par with the X-T1, which was identical to the current X-T2 aside from refresh rate and is exceptionally large and clear, albeit lower res than the X-H1 (which I briefly used). Nonetheless, they are perfectly nice EVFs of a typical mid-market size.
I agree you’re not going to find a better EVF for $600
