Re: I'm Very Impressed With Mine

Im impressed with mine as well, BUT - there are a few things that are disturbing.

1. It sometimes freeze when i turn it off, leaving the screen on, but black, it drains the battery. A really bad bug.

2. When I start the camera and "evf only" is chosen, the camera first lights up the screen before switching to the EVF - all this takes about 3 seconds, which is like a joke in 2020 and very bad software programming.

3. DR400 is flawed. When shooting tree branches or stuff like that against the sun there is weird "sharpening artifacts" that is really ugly and can be seen even on small web-sizes. I guess it is because of the high contrast, but my X100F does NOT have this issue/flaw in the DR400 mode.

4. The little orange lever that holds my battery stopped working in about a week after only removing the battery twice!

5. Why cant I dedicate the Q-button to something I actually need?

6. When shooting a fully manual lens - why does the thumb control wheel automatically switch to being a shutter button (instead of focus/assist zoom) when flipping out the screen to take a selfie? Thats just weird!

7. The on/off switch is extremely thin and feels extremely frail, just waiting for it to break.

Aside from all the flaws, the jpeg image quality (even though not as perfect as the ones from my X100F) is GREAT (when not using DR400 that is) compared to most cameras on the market - they can handle some editing/filters without introducing banding or artifacts. Batterylife seems to be great as well.
