So after spending about 3 weeks with X-H2s, I find myself liking more than I dislike, but some aspects aren't living up to my expectations.

CONTROLS

So, the controls are an issue for many people used to shooting with the X-T line of cameras... I personally love the X-Tx line of control and wish that were something they kept for the X-H2s, but they didn't. However, I do not consider this a deal breaker, as the 7 custom setups can more easily preset AF, shooting mode, EV Comp, AF Type, Burst Type, and IQ settings. This is all pretty intuitive and not a bad way to shoot over all.

This is the one thing I have actually found most enjoyable/usable in the X-H2S. I have a general list of settings for my regular shooting scenarios eg. Landscapes, Sports, Portraits and Wildlife.

Each one has a totally different list of base settings and I really appreciate how these are baked into each setting.

I agree that C1-C7 is a great idea assuming we can configure every single setting - much better than several physical controls when you need to switch between completely different setups in a moment. I found that there is a custom button function to recall C1 setup - I wonder why C1 only - would be nice i we can switch between all of them or at least C1 and other Cx set on the dial.

Annoyingly, for the most part my X-H2S has been sitting on the shelf. Between work and home life I just haven't had a chance to do anything since it arrived on Friday - bar fire off some test shots around the house.

Hope you'll find the time soon.

Cheers,
