New firmware installed and nice new features
Shame the interval timing doesn't allow for an exposure time > 30"
So will still need to get a cable.
Full time manual focus is a godsend but will take some getting used to the EVF with respect to this.

The firmware update is pretty easy, as I sure you'll find 
Btw, mine has manual focus by flicking the switch on the front (next to the lens) to M. |
I haven't found the screen staying on is a problem for my purposes. Battery life still seems excellent.
Yes, I have the manual switch but that's different to full time manual focus (as Canon calls it) where the lens is in auto focus, so you half press to auto-focus but then you can turn the lens to tweak the focus without switching focus mode (ie, always has manual focusing available even if in auto focus mode). Subtle but critical difference for how I shoot

Thanks for the alert for the new firmware. I will see if it will work with my XE-1. The colour reproduction on the fuji is simply stunning, plus they make a great walkabout camera to boot.

I do really like the Fuji camera, or at least want to like it, but it's taking a long time for me to get used to it enough to not take half an hour for every shot getting the settings right
ergonomics and menus are just so different to Canon I still find it fiddly. I'm slowly getting more used to it.
