This is a feature I really wish Fuji would implement. I've seen it used to good effect on some other cameras that have this option. I can think of quite a few times in the past year that a non-destructive crop mode would have helped me frame an image better. It sure would be nice to press a button and be able to see what elements are being included in my planned crop before I take the image.

The "workarounds" that people suggest are usually either crappy ways to deal with it (seriously, putting tape on your screen?) or suboptimal at best (i.e. cropping in post). There's a clean, simple, elegant solution if Fuji chooses to implement it.

i do not see why cropping post capture would be suboptimal. The only disadvantage I can see is that you do not remember the framing you had in mind. But if you cannot remember, it maybe was not a very compelling idea after all?
