Fuji quality is not what it used to be ! Fuji for me has always been a good reliable make with good customer service & after sales extended warrantys, which i cant fault cause other manufactuers dont, except for paying up front with Allianz insurance which is quite pricey.

Poor build quality and rubbish customer service This is a camera and manufacturer to avoid. Initially I was very pleased with it but desite keeping it in a case the coating on th ecamera body quickly started to wear off making it look shoody. After 6 months of light use the autofocus packed up and Fujifilm inist on £89 to repair it!!
Buy from a different manufacturer, there are plenty of better ones to choose from.
