Sold my D3, sold my X100...still hold on my XPro1 and use most of times my XT1, yet my old Nikon F and F2 F3 FM and even F4 and F5.......Cant be parted. They are mostly there in my dry cabinet and I take them out from time to time.....they are great cameras that went through lots of work<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-90379601905504863312015-04-01T19:48:22.758-04:002015-04-01T19:48:22.758-04:00From a pro who's switched from CXanon 1Dx to F...From a pro who's switched from CXanon 1Dx to Fuji XT1 I can say that there are several things the Fuji does better. First of all they are half the weight. When carrying two cameras and 5 lenses all day I can tell you my back prefers the Fuji. Secondly they are sharper when shooting wide open. I always had to double check my Canon primes when shooting at f/1.2 on outer focusing points due to inaccurate focus - the Fuji is perfectly sharp, all the time. The focus points also spread out across the entire viewfinder. Then there's the WYSIWYG viewfinder, in camera RAW processing (so I can wifi a bride's photo to instagram on the same day) and the ability to turn any Nikon lens into a tilt and shift lens using a simple adapter.<br /><br />Sure the Canon and Nikon gear has advantages (HSS flash, better motion tracking, longer lenses) but for wedding photography the Fuji wins. Best of all I can sell a used 1Dx and a few primes and buy an ENTIRE 2 camera five lens kit of Fuji gear, leaving me with a spare 1Dx and all my f/2.8 zooms for when I need them. No contest.Antony Handshttp://www.chasingsummerphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-45139272078627963822015-03-26T08:17:11.501-04:002015-03-26T08:17:11.501-04:00I sold my X-Pro1 in favor of the X-T1.

But like a beautiful car that leaves you with engine problems in the middle of nowhere I really started hating both - the work-around to get over the poor AF, shutter lag and flash issues. I'm about 30 years a Nikon F user and the unreliability/inflexibility of this combo became just a bit too much for me to carry on. The X-T1 is a far better try to make a good camera, it's a fair bit more reactive & competent, but not free of issues either. If I had to make the choice today I don't know that Fuji would still remain on my list. Or any other CSC. There's nothing I can do with this type of cameras that my Nikon FF gear won't do better, most of all faster and more accurate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
