I am really struggling with this camera:
- blur blur blur (50% keeper rate)
- WTH AF (50% of the time)
- wishy-washy metering (50%, either +1/3 or -1/3)
- CA hell
- Moire party like the 80's
- Missing that higher resolution & lens sharpness, for cropping
I understand the last 4 items are really limitation of the camera and can only be avoided by carefully framing the shots.
But the first 3 items, I'm planning to use it a lot more and tame this "wild" camera.
- Low battery indicator is very FUNNY, Fuji! Except I'm not laughing.
First time it happened to me yesterday. Was shooting happily, until the low batt warning showed and before I knew it, it shutdown itself.
As if the camera was playing a joke on me: Keep going, keep going, just kidding, shutdown!
I guess I must've underestimated it, when I thought it was going to behave like a smaller version of my DSLR.
I realized now that I've been spoiled by my other system.
No, it's not for sale
Here's a test shot:

It took me a few shots, to get this mediocre snapshot -
I'm pretty confident that I only need 1 shot to get this right the 1st time and with better IQ, with my other system.
