Yeah and? I pay for the gear they don’t give it to me for free. Plus this is a gear forum, although several people prefer it to be a “only say the pretty things about your gear” forumGood luck with that. You've posted your litany of what is wrong with every camera company out there and all of their models.Who cares if Fujifilm didn’t sell that many grips. THE CUSTOMER wants a battery grip, and that is exactly what Fujifilm must produce. Hey man, as long as there is a third party grip I’m cool with that.
FYI Nikon made that really stupid mistake with the Z6/7 and people were P***D. Yeah maybe they didn’t sell that many grips but so what. So they were (forced) to come out with “version II” bodies but by that time Nikon’s customers were not so happy about any of it.
If Fujifilm makes this move they’ll be definitely screwing me big time because I like and I’m a dial type of shooter WITH battery grips. Both my XT1 bodies have battery grips as well as my new XT3. If Fuji takes that away from me I’m screwed, and no I won’t be forced to buy a XH body because those cameras are not for me, as it is they already took the dials out as well as the tilt screen which IMHO was a mistake.
If Fujifilm removes a battery grip option then this simply means that the XT3 will be the last Fujifilm camera I will buy. That ain’t cool.
Yes thanks for typing all those other brands for me but yeah we certainly have a lot of options and yes even DSLRWon't buy another Fujifilm? What's it going to be then? Pentax? Nikon? Olympus? Canon? Back to DSLR?
But seriously, sometimes though it does feel like some people around here get paid to defend the forum’s brand and often those same folks rather defend the brand no matter what instead of the actual user or photographer.
My personal opinion is what I said in my post, that not providing a grip for the XT5 is a BIG mistake, and I am not changing my opinion although you will gang up on me, bully me and even insult me like immature teenagers, because that is exactly what you guys always do, and unfortunately I don’t see that Dpreview has laws against that. Perhaps is time for me to write a formal letter to Dpreview?
Once again there you go twisting my words. It looks like you actually don’t read what I say. I said that the XT3 would be my last camera I would buy, meaning that I would keep using that but would no longer buy another Fujifilm camera if they were to remove all the stuff I want and need in a camera.I eagerly await your new camera choice should this rumor hold true.
Either way, no one here needs permission to go with another brand.
