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.
  2. Lock ups when pressing the shutter button - requiring battery to be removed to reset.
  3. 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.
  4. 2.4Ghz wifi module failure - requiring the camera to be dismantled to reconnect module.
  5. Battery door weather sealing warping (likely due to being dismantled to repair wifi module), requiring replacement.

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..

This is just me, but I don't and won't put up with "failures" or "repairs" if my camera was purchased brand new.  I just send it back to the retailer and get my money back and get a different camera or wait more until Fuji fixes those issues completely.

Fuji is getting into that habit of selling new cameras with major issues.  I personally don't like that.
