Long-term review after using the camera a couple of months? For a camera that's not even six months old yet?

Content desperation man....people should just be doing X-T3 LT reviews now sheesh

The urgency to churn out content is insane. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw some articles or videos titled "XT4 still relevant in 2020?" I

My XT-2 just shit the bed.... the ISO / Drive mode dial died, and to fix it Fuji wants to replace the entire topside of the camera.... AT A COST OF $500 plus tax and shipping. I can get one on Ebay for that. Same thing happened to my X100 a couple of years ago. I love Fuji, but my Canon system never broke this often.

Sounds like you're unlucky lol

Do you know why it failed? Water, corrosion, wear?

I don't know... no water, no impact... lots of usage over the years. Unlucky, perhaps... or perhaps the early iterations were somewhat under built. I am not sure fuji has figured out how to build a digital workhorse yet. Cameras should last decades, and indeed they used to.

Agreed. My XT-10 the entire front fascia fell off so now it looks like T-1000 from terminator. The GFX system is just as bad. 63mm took 3X back and forth with NJ facility to fix and the 100-200 lens fell apart in my hands with a client standing right behind me....it was only 2 mos old. Loved the quality but nowhere near as bulletproof as Cannon.

Complexity produces evermore points of failure. Digital steps up complexity. An original Nikon F will go forever until the shutter fails. We can't use lens cap off/on simplicity. While camera makers seem to be focused on foolproof design they need to consider durability just as much. My F3 and GA645 still work. My Isolette still works. Fuji, Nikon, and Canon know how to build virtually indestructible cameras and lenses. I think it's time for them to bring that capability to digital cameras.
