I went to look at a Fuji XT-2 today and tried it out with a number of different lenses. The quality of the files when I got them back home was great. However, I found that the on/off switch is very easy to knock when operating the front dial. Instead of changing aperture I turned the camera off. Has anyone else found this or is it me?

I have the XT-2 and yeah the on/off switch is pretty easy to move, I agree.
It needs to be a little stiffer or have some click to it.

I haven't had a problem when using the front dial though I have found the camera off when I could have sworn I left it on.

So far other than having to learn my way around a new camera I don't regret the decision to get rid of all that Canon weight :-)

I made the switch to the X-T2 recently, myself. I have yet to accidentally turn the power off. I don't use the front command dial for any of my settings though.

I'm sure you'll love Fuji!

Yes - I do. The switch thing hasn't happened once since I got the camera - must have been me!

All I need to do now is find a decent bag....
