I've had an X-H2 since last November after owning an X-T4, X-S10, X-T3, and X-T20. I've never had issues with any of my cameras. However, I have experienced a lot of smaller hardware and software issues with my X-H2 that it's starting to build up into a bigger problem. I'm wondering whether any of these problems are common or have I just had bad luck?

  1. Screen failure (screens flicking on and off) - eventually this led to a complete failure

NO

  1. Lock ups when pressing the shutter button - requiring battery to be removed to reset.

Only lockup was with a Fringer adapter so may not be a Fuji problem

  1. Focus false positives – especially in subject detection. The camera will say the subject is in focus with a green box but the subject is completely out of focus.

I have gotten the occasional mis focus but not often. Typically AF-C tracking in use.

  1. 2.4Ghz wifi module failure - requiring the camera to be dismantled to reconnect module.

Never tried WiFi

  1. Battery door weather sealing warping (likely due to being dismantled to repair wifi module), requiring replacement.

Battery door is fine

The camera was replaced by the retailer after the first issue, then the new body has experienced the other issues with Fuji Professional Services carrying out repairs..

The above applies to both the X-H2s and X-H2 bodies which I have owned since release. Aside from the sensor the bodies are identical so the X-H2s should be relevant to your questions.
