The X-T2 made in Japan put Fujifilm on the map of great cameras; used by professionals. The problem is that any used ones may not be in good condition. Any service repairs? Most cameras will not survive if the owner thinks the camera guaranteed for long-term heavy use. Electronics deteriorating in time seems unavoidable due to humidity and heat.

My X-T2 preferred over my X-T3 for the moment unless it packs up.

While I like my X-T2, there are two issues I´d like to mention

- battery life. I think it´s awful. I have to carry three reserve batteries for any kind of serious shoot.

- battery drain. If you don´t use it for a couple of months, you will find the battery empty and the camera also forgets all of its settings and also time / date. That drives me nuts, since I don´t shoot all year round and use lots of indivudual settings. I also have a Sony A7 I, which doesn´t show any battery when not in use.
