Fuji X-T100, experience so far

I returned mine för 3 reasons

1) build quality.... felt like a plastic toy with rickety (but fully functioning) buttons that were also way too small... the kitlens that comes with it is a joke - granted, pretty darn good IQ for a kit, but a joke in handling

2) viewfinder, after having X-T1 and Sony a6000 + a6300 the x-t100 viewfiner left a lot to be desired imho, specially since I mostly use manual legacy glass

3) ergonomy - strange that fuji whom I feel are great at handling design have inserted so many doubtfull aspects on this one...

• the top FN button requires dexterity and thin fingers to reach, 100% impossible to use with glove, barely able to find by feel with bare findger
• can't customize enough controls
• the backside vertically placed rocker wheel... has anyone actually tried using it with a thumb?

As an extra niggle... I really wish Fuji would just go ahead and use a fully articulated swivel screen like Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, and every video camera worth mentioning have embraced. Why spend the money on R&D something that in the end weighs more than a swivel mount (x.-t100 double metal mount) and in the end offers less angles of use than what's already oem available on the parts market.....?

All in all, a return for me. I'm stuck with a6300 for now, somewhat tempted by the X-T3 but really wished it had ibis for my legacy glass...

I'm looking forward to seeing what the x-t30 might look like though

Good analysis!  This is why some want a higher-end Fuji model with a Bayer sensor.  Nothing is out there yet....
