OK Alan, I apologise what I said was over the top (I'm a bit grumpy today, and that's no excuse), but you have regularly whether in jest or not had a pop at Fuji (basing your experience on an older camera you didn't get on with and what you've read on the internet), you only have to search for posts by you containing Fuji to see this, I just find it tiresome, and today I snapped.
Sorry.
David, No, I haven't "had a pop at Fuji" and this recent post of mine about the article at DPR was in no way meant to be Fuji bashing but merely saying that IMHO the A7 is near enough what the author of that article is looking for, a X100 sized interchangeable lens FF camera. He was the one who brought Fuji into it and neither he (I assume) nor I are Fuji bashing.
I honestly don't care what make anything is. You know that I have owned a Fuji, it was my first digital camera, a S602 pro zoom, and if you can find any post of mine comparing that early generation camera to the Fuji's of today and using it to in seriousness disparage the latter I'll eat your shorts as well as mine and happily apologise. But I suspect we've both wasted enough time on this already.
To be clear and to try and be polite - No, I don't want a Fuji as I'm put off by Xtrans and the possible processing foibles but other than that I really don't have any negative view. The Fuji's look nice with their manual dials but I'd much rather have the A7 than any APS-C camera to use my old and new manual lenses on at their intended focal length. That's mostly what I use my A7 for and I have the smaller than both FF and APS-C interchangeable lens Panny GX80 MFT for AF stuff.
This is the second time in this thread in recent weeks I've been accused of Fuji bashing and I just don't get why anyone would think I'd waste my valuable time on any pathetic childish fanboy drivel.
I need a rest from all this.
