Sounds like you are badly organised

 

A little knowledge and all that.  Good grief, we used to carry film and batteries! ;)

 

One change of batteries and a powergrip will get me through a wedding in 'boost' mode.  Two batteries will get me through a day shooting seascapes with 16-stop nd's and silly long exposures. 

 

The XT-2 is effin' awesome, two XT-2's are twice as awesome at least.   Now, where were we....?

In my experience, Fujis in general are 2-300 shot cameras. Run C-AF, turbo mode, 3 motor AF zoom lenses, etc and it can drop from there. Conversely, if you run primes with eye sensor and no rear LCD, you can squeeze out around 450-500 shots.  Surprise! Electronics use electricity and the more electronic features you rely on, the faster you use it up.

I used to fret a when using the 75mm Summilux or  f/.95 50mm. I tried the RRS plate with grip for the M9 and found the little additional weight a benefit. Now I have them on both M9s, and for the the analog Leicas, I've added Tom Abrahamsson's (RIP) Rapid winder with his grip. Weight when it helps balance is my friend.

 

Aside: I wonder if any of our senior citizens members have a tremor. Weight helps a great deal to steady.

Ok, ok, I did mention the blur cause in the original post, shutter lag -and a bit of motion blur too. The whole point was that the EVF can be used for long lenses in a not-static situation, not the artistic (dis)merit of the photograph. That  the EVF2 is not the ideal instrument is clear.

I doubt whether a much better EVF like we have nowadays is much help  either.

The IVF on the SL would be better as it is better ??

I don't see anything on the "leaked" photo which distiguishes the shown camera from an M240.

It appears to have the frame-line selector lever, and is missing the video button. With the front focus button it must have live view but no video feature...

Yes, agreed.

The framing does not show any feature unique to the M10, as seen in the previously published FCC photo.

Indeed, the collar of the lens release button is pure M240 and not moulded into the lens mount as in the leaked-M10.

Clickbait.

My M (Typ 240) has neither that dial on the left hand side on top of the body nor the white area just above the viewfinder window.

Interesting discussion on battery life

It seems to me that what really matters is accurate reporting - the M9 was a particularly bad culprit in this - the battery was fine, fine, fine, fine, dead :(

If you still have 20% of the shots left when the battery says 20%, and you can rely on it, then that's okay by me (Sony are good in this respect). 

It's a while since I had my X-T1, so I can't remember anything about batteries. . 

 

Carrying a couple of spares around isn't too bad, but it's really irritating when you can't trust what it says!
