I've already looked at it in the past. I should reevaluate.

Humm. I have a K1, I don't think this is possible. My K1 battery (Pentax battery, not a third party) last 6 hours, 1000+ shots.
The XT1 of my college does around 200 shots max / 2h on a fully charged battery.
Originally posted by pathdoc By all means go over to Fuji... but remember, the small size advantage evaporates the minute you put anything but a wide or near-normal prime on the camera. If you want an MX-sized body with retro dials that can mount a DA21-sized lens, it's probably just the thing for you. If you like to shoot with long tele zooms, not so much.
Sure, I'm aware of this. I don't plan at all to get a mirrorless for more than being a compact yet high IQ camera. For the tele and uwa, I sure use the DSLR. The compact camera is there to mount a pancake lens on it and throw it in the bag for traveling light.
Originally posted by Na Horuk Right now, I'd go for a Pentax KP.
humm, yep, I considered this idea. The trouble is , I sold all my ltd lenses. I considered getting a KP for compactness and use it on my DFA150450 with getting more reach (I used to have a K3), I could get aways with FPS, but its buffer isn't geat (8 raws) compared to using the K1 in crop mode. So, if I'd get a KP and a compact ltd lens, such as the DA21 or DA40, it wouldn't be cheaper than a fuji and a x prime and yet the KP wouldn't be as compact. + I owned the DA21 and it was neither fast nor sharp corner to corner. The KP is a solution but it isn't the best one for the money currently.

Yes, good idea, I thought about that one. A 40ltd on my K1. That's about equiv. to 27mm on the Fuji. The 40ltd is super compact, good IQ, would cost me less that a Fuji combo, and with the K1 I'd still get what I can't get with the Fuji 27mm: Sensor stab., 36Mp 24x36 snesor, pixel shift + long battery life... There are two reasons why I did not go this route: 1) K1 not so small 2) I already owned and used the 40ltd and after using it for a couple of years the quick shift mechanism got lose and it wouldn't focus well near / at infinity. So, what should I do?
Originally posted by Homo_erectus I use an X-Pro 2 for my event work and for my bif hobby shooting. My experience is that you want one battery for every 2-3 hours you'll be shooting. If you are super careful and turn the camera off when you aren't using it, and use the OVF rather than the EVF, you can stretch that time out an additional 45-60 minutes.
Yes, well described, battery life on fuji is sensitive to the amount of time the camera is powered on. That's also what I've been told. Good to know...
Originally posted by Homo_erectus The X-Pro 2 is barely pocketable with the 27mm on it, the X-E2s is a lot smaller. Hope that helps!
Yes, thank. I've seen and used a XT2. I have a hard time to realize how the XE2 is, I should try.
