New here to this forum, thought I'd throw this out.
I’ve gone the route of switching from M43 to FujiX and here a few of my thoughts. The ergonomics of the camera line suit me well. I currently shoot the XT2, XE2 and most recently picked up an XPro1. As an eyeglass wearer, the viewfinder on the XT2 is like the difference between watching an old crt television and a modern LED widescreen. The first time I looked through it at a store, the viewfinder alone could have sold me on the camera. The improved feel and responsiveness of the camera compared to my former OMD is very noticeable, this is as much of a “pro” camera that I will ever need. The new sensor gives one a wide latitude in files. This is a workhorse of a camera. Weddings - no problem. Sports – no problem. Landscape – no problem.
The XE2 along with the 35/1.4 was my first foray into the Fuji world and got me hooked, with firmware updates it was not quite as responsive as the EPL7 but perfectly usable and the images it captures sold me on the system and I started the process of liquidating my M43 gear of the two bodies I mentioned and lenses (14, 20, 45, 75, 9-18, 40-150). The reference of a less digital look certainly seems to ring true for me.
Right before the holidays I picked up an XPro1 and took it with me on vacation along with just the 35/1.4 to the Bay Area. This is the body that I had the most difficult time adapting to, haven’t figured out why I can’t use the control dial to fine tune shutter speed like I can on the other two bodies and just a bit of getting use to on the OVF/EVF. But the files are something special with a bit of magic thrown in. The colors and tones on Velvia (-1 color), suit my taste perfectly for a variety of genres, especially food. This combo might even replace my RX1 as a travel camera - the X100F, after a short stint, did not.
The primary downside is that everything is bigger and heavier and I have to be more judicious about what I put in my camera bag. The 16 and 90 are two of my favorite lenses along with the 35. But compare the Oly 75 to Fuji 90 and it turns into “I better shoot with it on an outing” vs “ I can take it along just in case”, the same goes for the 40-150 and 55-200 comparison.
Best of luck in your photo gear adventure.
