Further to the discussion mid video about the Fuji. This is not the video I set out to make!!

FWIW I tried multiple lenses and this error continued, I had no choice but to switch kits and shoot with my Nikon Z7ii instead.

Whilst I was able to complete the Retro shoot with Felicia, that was thanks to good planning and having back up equipment on hand. Imagine this were on a trip to Mongolia and my only camera went down - you would be really in trouble! Even here, I still had real costs as a result of this - as I had to hire a second model and crew for a half day of filming to finish my tests with the Fuji.

I sincerely appreciate Fuji HK getting me a replacement loaner camera, and I still think this is a great machine. I think I just got unlucky with a faulty camera. However seeing this is a final production unit, and it was sent to me to review - it would be wrong not to include this in my coverage.
