I would say I am an ambitious amateur photographer and had until now 8 years offering a Canon 30D has made me always very good service with good lenses + flash. Why then the change and what was important? 1. I wanted a contemporary top image quality (Low Light and resolution) 2. I wanted a good lens selection 3. I wanted something portable (weight and volume) I have long struggled with a full-frame camera to have best-off image quality. Then I read various sizes and weight comparisons of Nikon / Canon FF equipment with mirrorless systems, thinking, "I Nee did not feel like more on the smuggling - I want something compact with good image quality which I also like it to pack and carry everywhere to use - so unwitnessed ". Whats there? Sony? -> (Unfortunately, unfortunately mau of the lens selection - an adapter for third-party lenses - nee really not - not what to compact what to screw additional purchase but again ran Sorry!). Olympus OMD? -> (Really interesting, top body, top lenses, but weaknesses in low-light and somehow the idea an even smaller sensor Nee?!). So Fuji! WOW expensive! AABER: Points 1-3 are met! So I Body + 10-24mm + 18-135mm + 23mm + 56mm + EF-42 bought and Lens Roadmap promises still a lot! What I got? Body PRO: Super materials, valuable as a D-SLR! I learn to photograph! I like to use the automatic functions, but it's fun to use the manual controls! Addictive! The electronic viewfinder! Picture quality is fully convincing. A dream to develop ISO 3200 shots! The white balance is simply overwhelming. I always photographed RAW, now I use the JPEG camera in daylight and most recordings. RAW only for photos of my Galierien. When talking about RAW I can only say I am fully satisfied with the output of LR. Photo Ninja have tried to compare and can find no reason why I should give up the extensive facilities of LR. Body NEUTRAL: As expected, everything a bit smaller, the control wheels with locking bit fiddly, but for the size of super solved. The 4-way navigation really not optimal, but not as bad as often described. When the ISO adjust wheel actually turns the switch including with - not great but if it's a conscious then go. Due to the compactness of the control elements are only to use by the eye removed from the viewfinder and the setting will be searched. Bin fortunately not a sports photographer. Body CON: You need real extra batteries! The door to the memory card will not keep determined forever! The money you have already want to take into their own hands!
Conclusion: Attention! But not a toy camera system and a visually beautiful apparatus to increase the conscious photographing! Not for carefree clippers, fast shooters and need something in hand types. There are better and cheaper. For top picture quality for amateur photographers, enthusiasts, on the essentials Focused without fear of fully or partly. Manual operation. Super Fujinon lenses all of metal and sharp performances in the figure and open aperture. The 56mm F1.2 with indescribable sharp. The 23mm f1.4 is a compact always with you dream. For me, the best and most ambitious current mirrorless system package of electronics (Body) and optics (lenses) with weaknesses in detail and by the small size ergonomic limitations. But Fuji pushes this system which makes me confident right here in the future to have invested. One star deduction for the high power consumption, the quality of the battery and memory card door and pray in the X-T2 a slightly larger grip see Sony Alpha 7 MK2 or Olympus OMD-of did the compactness hardly hurt.
