I have had my XH-2 since November. Mine has worked fairly reliably until a week ago when the usb port stopped working preventing me from shooting tethered. The only issues I have also had are hot shoe suddenly not working and the odd battery removal fix when it freezes. Fuji lent me a replacement body for a two day shoot. OMG. First issue half way through first set up the camera changed setting to medium file size from large. Luckily picked it up but couldn’t change it back, until dreaded battery removal. Then focus area joystick stopped working again battery removal. Then usb socket stopped working and had to view everything on screen. Also seem to get odd things happen like level suddenly appear in viewfinder, face detection suddenly stop working, play back in viewfinder stopped working, all solvable by going back into menu but a pain when you have models on set and a client looking over your shoulder. Will reevaluate whether all kit goes back once returned from Fuji. Generally disappointing.

Interesting, maybe it's just a batch of them, or they are dropping quality control or using less quality components? Anyway, I just bought an A7iv to try out while mine is back in with the service centre. It's probably got its own set of issues too but looking forward to comparing them back to back when the X-H2 is returned.
