Fujifilm X Series Batteries NP-W126 & NP-W126S

There is a lot of excitement - rightfully so - around the launch of the Fujifilm X-T2.  The camera is packed full of amazing new features never before seen in the X Series.  As usual I'm not really looking to do a review or analysis - but try to add a nugget of info about the camera and perhaps some clarification where I see conversations happening.

One of those areas discussed is the new battery NP-W126S.  This battery is physically the same as the current NP-W126 and will offer no additional performance improvements in any of the X cameras.  It was designed to handle the higher temperatures generated by the X-T2 when it operates in some of its high speed functions and/or 4K video.  The "new" S battery has an orange circle dot versus the current square seen on the batteries.

 In addition - keen observers will see that the current X Series cameras have three battery contacts and the X-T2 has four.  This is to work with the new cell in the 126S which withstands the higher temps.  The batteries are interchangeable for the power booster and the 126S is fine to use in any X camera.  To summarize - the NP-W126S is NOT a power boosting battery - the Power Booster VPB-XT2 has that function.  

One of the new hot features on the X-T2 is the flip out vertical LCD - versus the standard flip the X-t1 has.
