How about this thread is for suggestions, not meaningless drivel on X Vs Z camera or gear in general?
You seem the type without the ability to get over yourself. This isn't your thread, you haven't been helpful, in fact I don't know what your point here is, in any of your posts. Can you at least do a TL;DR of your lengthy ones? There might be a point in them some of us are missing
Nobody really cares about fisheyes or tilt shift, occasional specialist lenses, not even you! and if you really wanted them, the fuji system is one of the better for adapting old classic manual lenses - for those not overly reliant on modern AF. The gearhead in you forces you to persist in trying to make oddball stuff relevant, but your own data proves you don't actually believe them important.
OP asked was it worth the shift to another system as his current one isn't doing it for him. While some of us are offering him actual suggestions, your posts have been about nothing but trying to convince yourself that you're worthy of all the gear you splurged on. That's what I see.
Ironically, when YOU wanted simple advice on fuji cameras, in particular the xpro1, we were there to offer you straight forward, no BS advice. We didn't feel the need to turn it into our life stories.
You made a sweeping statement that he will missing nothing from the camera he has.
I made a post about things that is valid.
It is a FACT that the tripod screw is too close to the battery door, is yours different?
It is a FACT that there is no thumb stick on the X-T1, is yours different?
It is a FACT that the battery life is shorter, is yours different?
This isn't about me, it is about the difference between the cameras!
How are you so certain the Fuji ergonomics is going to fit the OP? Do you know him?
If Fuji matched a canon in every aspect it would be canon.
Fuji are expanding their range of lenses to suit the demand from fuji users, not simply to be to be canon clones.
The same goes for the ergonomics. They will of course be "different" and have a learning curve if someone has already got the muscle memory of another system ingrained in them. In many respects fuji ergonomics suits many people rather better.
There are very good TSE and fisheyes that can be used on fuji cameras some with adapters and some directly. There is little commercial sense to make their own.
And I merely pointed them out as Cagey over there is 100% confident he will love it from day one.
I merely asking questions - How is the UI to the OP? Not suggesting "you are going to LOVE it, you won't miss the Canon at all apart from the hefty weight."
As for learning curve, I hear what you are saying but no markings on the diopter is no markings on the diopter, I can't learn to have x-ray visions. Like I can't learn to not having to take the tripod plate off between opening the battery door. It's going to take me time now to unscrew it first, it is going to take me time to unscrew it in the future.
Is it wrong to point these things out? Am I the only person in the world who's camera have the tripod screw where it is? Am I the only person who thinks Optical VF is nicer? Am I alone that to find the Fuji battery are on the small side?
Are these not legitimate questions?
People seems to so freely throw it out there that the grass is always greener on the other side, and they seem to throw it out there that because it worked for them, it must work for everyone else. God forbid when someone posts that the switch isn't for them and point out some elements that I find short in the system and when questioned why, i answered, they say it's about me. Of course it's about the user, you both answer how it is for you too, how you found it. I answered it about me. It is about the user's point of view. You put out your point of view, I put out mine. Somehow I get attacked personally for putting out my opinion and when I say good things about the system and gear that point gets TOTALLY ignored and uncredited. When I point out something that they don't agree with, they answers on those only.
Then there is always the answer of "Fuji are always expanding their lenses" there is always adaptors. He stated that Fuji's lenses
matches,
I pointed out that in terms of quality, in some lenses they do match, but as a lens line up they certainly do not. They might match 5 years from now but they certainly do not match today. The mere fact that adaptors are mentioned proves that the Fuji line up do not have all the lenses to match. and by definition, to match means equal.
One can easily say "anyone is always expanding their lenses", It is a 2 way street, Canon is always expanding their bodies and lenses too, so is Sony. Sony can take adaptors as well.
The grass is not always greener on the other side, if OP can, try it, borrow it for a day, before selling up. You might regret it.
