Oh, I didn't say the updates weren't nice to have. And they do seem to be worth however they're being paid for. But that said, I just can't get on with Fuji cameras. I've tried three (or four) and turned them all around pretty quickly. Something about them, the sensor design, the control ergonomics, the menu design, or whatever, always seems to just not work right for me....
Godfrey that's a nice spin, but regardless, the Fujifilm updates are useful and welcomed for some features such as AF tracking and 1/32,000 shutter. I think Fuji firmware updates are frequent because they actually listen to customers and add features accordingly.
Both Olympus and Panasonic have also issued very good firmware updates that did a lot to improve a camera from its delivered state, as has Leica. They don't issue them as often as Fuji does. But then again, I haven't even bothered with the last two fw updates on my M9 because it works just the way I want as it is.
