A warning about the peculiar ergonomics of the X-H2S

The traditional Fuji dials and knobs really don't allow full customization. They will lie to you when you look at them if the manual setting can be overridden by S/W presets. The Q menu - is primarily only for Jpeg.

Agree. Major issue of Fuji retro dial is didn't show actual figure if override by software preset/command dials.

These kind of hard coded dials (regardless retro / PASM) easy solve via E-Ink dials.

E-Ink dials :

• Consumer can customize own dials mark/function.
• When auto mode, E-Ink display actual figure instead of "A".

The problem with a hard coded PSAM dial is it also limits how one uses quickly modifies the settings.

Consumer also can't rename mark in hard coded PASM dial.

The dial is great if someone has a fixed number of presets of the camera that they use all the time. That it is fixed on a dial - opens the UI up to the same constraints of the traditional UI. In reality why is there a need for a Q menu if you have presets?

From what I have seen from the H2S manual is the UI will work wonderful for people that have a fixed number of presets for most of their work and they can switch between them quickly. But I have to tell you I like the Leica UI is much better to use than what I am seeing from the Fuji PSAM.

Agree.

But that is just for me. Bottom line - no UI is perfect and it will not be totally comparable to the way everyone wants to work. Fuji UI - a work in progress.

Best benefits from E-Ink dials : allow consumer configure own dials. Different photographer had vary need.
