These shots were taken with my
Fuji X-T1 using the 50-140mm lens. I love my Fuji camera but I have discovered
that it has some limitations when it is used for action photography. Whilst the
quality of the results from the Fuji are first class I found that there is a
memory speed issues when using high speed continuous shooting. The buffering denies the use of the viewfinder or
the rear screen until it has written all the images to the card. Now I have
recently up rated my firmware to VER. 4 so I must do some reading in case I have
missed a work round to overcome this problem. I also need to purchase the latest high speed card recently
new to the market since I purchased the camera. However I am not happy to lose
a second of contact with the subject when I am shooting sport or action whilst
the memory catches up. In future my Canon 5D mark 3 would be the camera of
choice for action photography even though it has a somewhat slower continuous
shooting speed.
OK I have solved this problem by turning the image viewing screen off. I will also buy a faster card to gain extra write speed.

My second comment is that in strong sunlight the EVF can struggle
to resolve a clear image, even with the screen & viewfinder fully adjusted.
It’s not impossible to use but it does detract from the ease of use, particularly
when shooting action photography.
