Yes, it has flaws. In the end, I got frustrated with the slow startup and general sluggishness, as I am so used to shooting for work with my X-T3. I sold my X-T100 and bought a secondhand X-T20 as a travel camera. I looked at the X-T30, but really couldn't justify the £400 difference in cost. Problem solved. The X-T20 is almost the same size as the X-T100, but in a different class for ease/speed of use. It is great.

Exactly the opposite of my experience of XT100 vs XT20

Then please tell what you do to speed upp the slow 3 second startup when using the evf-only. Maybe you are using an extremely fast sd-card or did you come from using a REALLY oldish sluggish camera before buying the XT100?

Just tested starting it up with EVF-only, and you’re absolutely right that it is 3 seconds and slow, but it is much faster in eye-sensor mode at 2 seconds only—even when your eye is already at the sensor at start up, which is basically like EVF-only. So, definitely seems like a bug.

So I’d suggest setting it to eye-sensor mode as a solution. Actually, curious why you’d use EVF only? What are the benefits over using eye sensor? Because I can’t think of any quite frankly.
