lucky, lucky lucky..

Yeah I love the look of the Fuji X cameras, with APC-S sensors an' all... just that there don't seem to be much choice in the lens dept.! a few primes and just 3 zooms in the Fuji X mount range.
Anyone know where these lenses rate, in comparison with the high quality stuff?!
Lets put it this way, I wouldn't have dumped my entire Nikon full frame setup if Fuji wasn't capable.
Tell us how you cry yourself to sleep every night
Fuji's are really nice and IQ is amongst the best, but just remember if you go APS-C CSC the overall package can be significantly larger than m4/3. That being said, something like the Fuji X-T1 is aimed at something like the Em-1 which is itself getting pretty large again.Thanks mate, I think you've just saved me a lot of fannying about! Though, probably like you, I still like to learn this stuff anyway. So I'll continue to read on, but just won't make it such a critical factor when deciding which cameras to look at.

Will do, thanks. I'll post them on here once I've whittled it down!
Actually, I don't. Ive done the switch so many times I understand the benefits of most systems and the final results. FF is a pita to carry and up to ISO6400 my Fuji is just as good but a ton smaller, lighter and doesnt make me look like a pap.
I did a comparison over on TP, my Fuji kit is 1,45kg without accessories vs Nikon 3kg without even heavier accessories and I can fit 2 1/2 of my Fuji setups into my Nikon setup bag with equivalent fast primes. Both the bags are a good fit for each setup so its a good comparison.
More importantly I enjoy using my Fuji more and take it with me a lot more so the IQ is excellent and I get more pics out of it so don't miss moments.

I don't you s'pose you did any direct pic comparison shots between the Fuji and the FF set-ups before you got rid of the FF, did you?
This is what I would love to see!! same shot, same camera settings and ('equivalent' length) lenses, where the lens quality's where considered in the same area, and see what we get!!
larger in terms of equipment size and weight, right?
I had a quick go at this when I was looking at the Fuji X-M1 I won as a prize vs. the Olympus E-PL5 I already had. It's wildly unscientific and I came to the conclusion that they were both great cameras so I stuck with the one I knew best and had the most extras for.This is what I would love to see!! same shot, same camera settings and ('equivalent' length) lenses, where the lens quality's where considered in the same area, and see what we get!!

It's OK, I don't tend to make a lot of sense. What I was meaning was that with M4/3 I've only really talked about the EM10 as that's what I've had, and the X-T1 is both physically a bigger camera and most lenses are also bigger, mainly due to them having to work with an APS sensor. However, the X-T1 is more aimed at the extreme enthusiast and some would say Pro market, and so to do a fair comparison with M4/3 you would probably have to compare it to the EM-1 and the EM-1 is quite large for a CSC.larger in terms of equipment size and weight, right?
I don't understand this sentence
Watch out for DPR though, although Fuji images look decent the studio comparison is done using ACR or LR conversions. Most people who use Fuji know that there are far better RAW options out there that handle Fuji files (much) better in terms of fine detail. Adobes not really putting the effort in to maximise x trans RAWs properly. I posted a link a little while back and it was pretty much night and day difference between RAW editors and it surprised a few here.
How about this for a comparison
D810 (The best FF sensor available!) vs XT1 (bear in mind the Zeiss isn't even as good as the Fuji 56mm!)
Best case is C1 vs C2 as theres no movement in the image and the light hits the subject in the same places.

when I view them at 100%, looking at the face - by comparison the Fuji photo looks oof.
pixel peeping ruins lives people..
Yep, that's the trouble it starts to get very expensive very quicklyHoly Moly...the aforementioned Fuji 56mm F1.2 lens is £900! ... I guess this is where one starts to pay for wanting the best IQ!
Still, it's a hobby where you can build up the equipment over time.
Jeez, so much research to do!
