I received my new X-H1 today. When I bought my E-M1, Olympus sent me a mailing shortly before the one-year manufacturer's warranty ended, offering me an Olympus-backed extended warranty for a ...

Henry The new camera / lens package is on the way to me via overnight express, as I type this note.  I really appreciate the expedited shipping, as well as not making me wait till the first camera ...

Thanks very much, Henry. I thought about contacting you, but figured "why bother the man if B&H will accommodate me through their usual channels". I wasn't trying to badmouth B&H on the forum, by ...

I'm comfortable with using the command line (I am an old IBM System 360 Assembler language programmer, and used DOS extensively on my first PC's).  However, starting something like that is ...

In some ways, I can sympathize with B&H. Due to their generous return policy people frequently order gear to try it out, and return it if they don't like it or develop buyer's remorse. IMHO, B&H ...

Your info about the shutter count came in quite handy, when I was talking with B&H re. a return. What tool / product did you use, to obtain that piece of data?  I didn't see anything in Picasa or ...

I called B&H and explained the situation.   The rep was very apologetic, and said that I should not have received a camera in that condition.  Many thanks to the poster who was able to read the ...

Thank you VERY much.  I must not have the right tool to view that level of EXIF data.  I tried looking at a RAW image in Faststone, but did not the image count there. 500 clicks would not bother me ...

Not seeing an image count in DxO PhotoLab or Picasa, but maybe I'm missing something.  Here's a test pic.

When I took my supposedly new X-H1 out of the box for the very first time, I noticed a very faint smear on the LCD screen. There was no protective film over it, or over the LCD on the top plate. Wh ...

To be honest, I don't HAVE to buy anything new at all; my E-M1 would suffice if all I wanted to do was take acceptably (to me) decent photographs. However, I've had my E-M1 for almost five years, ...

Thanks for the well wishes, and encouraging comments about the X-H1 and 16-55.  I am purely an amateur photographer, but I do want the pics I take to be as sharp as possible.  The micro four ...

Thanks Greg, and thanks for sharing your very impressive pics.  They have reinforced my belief that going to Fuji is the right thing to do. PS.  I lived on two acres of land outside Georgetown, TX, ...

Thanks to everyone who provided the advice and insight that helped me decide to buy my Fuji gear, and thanks also for the birthday wishes.  You guys and gals are great!  I can tell right now that ...

B&H made me an offer I could not refuse: a $450 savings over what the X-H1 and 16-55 were costing just a week or two ago. I succumbed to temptation, and placed my order half an hour ago.  Delivery ...

Well, Fuji and B&H have seemingly conspired to make my choice even more difficult!  They've lowered the price of an X-H1 and 16-55 f/2.8 combo to $2648, a savings of some $450.  They have not ...

Thanks to everyone who responded, I appreciate your taking the time to help me. From what I can gather from the responses thus far, it sounds as if the 16-55 is an absolutely wonderful lens, but ...

I was about ready to order an X-H1, but then I got to re-thinking the lens situation. As stated in my first post, the majority of my shooting is done with the Olympus 12-40 (FF eqiv 24-80) f/2.8 ...

Good input, thanks! Hmm, something to think about.  The camera price just dropped recently, so I haven't seen any lens deals with the X-H1 yet.  Perhaps a reconditioned or gently used 18-55 would ...

Actually, I'm going to buy an X-H1, even though its processing engine is downlevel from the XT3. I need the X-H1's IBIS, due to shaky hands. Other than that, I agree with all the points you make. P ...
