How does the Fuji compare to the D500 in low light at ISO 12,000?

I have a Fuji X T2 with the 18-135, a 23mm prime and a 60mm macro. I travel a great deal and love the lighter weight, although the 18-135 is still a bit heavy. I love have the controls right on top of the camera especially the exposure compensation. I do have to keep an eye open for that because the dial is easy to turn if not paying attention. The colors are gorgeous just like the old Fuji film was. The menu has taken a little getting used to. I bought a webinar on Creative Live to help get things set up which was helpful. I really like this camera and plan to see my

I did weddings and many other photos for money using Nikon but switch to Fuji. I love the various filter settings, film selections including B&L. They have very high ratings as noted on the preview.com. Check that out.

I'd submit the attached images as examples of why I too am happy to add my name to the long list of satisfied Fuji X-Tx owners. These were chosen randomly (almost) from the photos I took on a recent trip to Japan. They are all SOOC, handheld with the kit lens that came with my X-T1. Yes they're not the greatest shots in the world and I've seen plenty better here but for 'holiday snaps' they satisfy all my requirements.

Like others I like the light weight, ergonomics, stabilized good quality kit lens and small size. But mostly I just like the images it produces. A number of people here have tried to define that quality but it's hard to put into words. By comparison I also have a D810 and the biggest compliment I can pay it is to say if I take pics at ISO64 on a tripod the output is almost as good as the Fuji.

The only improvement I'd like to see is to the focussing speed when using my 60mm f/2.4 prime. I sometimes miss shots as it hunts backwards and forwards trying to lock onto the subject. Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.

I have the Xt2 with Fujinon lenses. 10-24, 18-55, 55-200. Back in the 70's when I was shooting a 4x5 view camera I was told to not bother with anything other than Fujinon lenses. Not even Schneider lenses. I was very satisfied. When I discovered that Fujinon was being offered on Fujifilm cameras I jumped into place. You can read the rest elsewhere. However, one more note. There must be more than a few of you who at one time loved Fuji Film, the Film product. Remember Velvia, Provia and some of the sweetest B&W Film you could ask for? Well, the Xt2, and I assume other X series cameras and beyond, offer a film simulation for each of their film products. Did you love shooting landscapes with Velvia film? Now you can do it again using their camera and simulations. JPEG only. But let me tell you. Shooting my Fujifilm X100F with the Velvia Simulation has been exceptionally satisfying. NO PROCESSING NECESSARY. I just got back from 8 days in Glacier National Park. I hauled my Nikon D750 and D810 with me along with my Fuji system. The Nikons never came out of the car. At review time at the end of day, my colleagues were amazed. Fujifilm cameras are worth looking into, but only if you want cheaper and lighter as well.

I shot with Pentax and a canon dial 35 while in the Navy. Then with Pentax MX, Pentax K5IIs, and now mostly with a Fuji X-E3,18-55mm. My Pentax is in the closet; why? I always shot with Fuji film so it is a natural progression to the X-E3. I still use the Pentax with the Soligor 80-200 for reach or the 10mm for wide angle. But not so much anymore. Thinking of selling the Pentax and lenses for new Fuji glass. Never will get rid of the Dial 35 tho. Cute camera.

So I admit to being a Fujifilm XT series fan - first serious digital camera after changing from 35mm film, made choice of camera largely on ergonomics (physical dials my hands remembered, size and weight also had a bearing). Took a while to learn, but now love it.
Agree with prior posters about quality of Fuji colour and images - and for anyone interested in how that came to be so, this historical video of Fuji from Tony and Chelsea I found fascinating.

Fuji were a very good film company and (unlike Kodak) saw the long term impact of digital and transitioned to a camera / sensor / lens company with a different niche from the majors Nikon Canon and Sony.

So if you have Fuji, and want to know why it is like it is, watch this :-

And as Mr Armstrong said, about another field - "It's not about the bike ..."

My interest in these cameras is solely based on my love of Leica M cameras. It is a dream come true.......a great digital camera in a rangefinder package. Love it.

I have had two Fuji Finepix super zooms. Gave them away when I upgraded to Pentax K-50. They took fine pictures and were nice and light.

I have both the Fuji xt2 and xt3 cameras. Both are excellent cameras. Lighter than DSLRs and in my view perfect for traveling especially with the 16-55mm f2.8 and 50-140mm f2.8 lenses. All prime lenses yield great images. The X-T series make photography a joy.

i have had an X-T3 for several months, following ownership of an X100F. The X-T3 is a great camera, and I especially like the dynamic range. I never knew how to photograph a black dog until learning how to use a camera like this in combination with a good filter (e.g., the camera raw filter in Photoshop). The 80 mm Fujimacrolens is simply superb, as is the 16mm, which simply heavenly and can operate like a macrolens. Like all cameras though, the devil is in the details. My other mirrorless is an Olympus OMD EM1ii and I very much like the firmware that has focusing layers (up to 10) that allows magnificent depth of field for macrowork (try to take a better photo of a snail!) The Oly 60mm macro also is no slouch. I also have a great affection for the Olympus 12-100 professional lens. A real beaut with no effective match in Fuji land. So like many, I love Fuji but still hold on to my Olympus and also my Nikon DSLR, if only for the REALLY long battery life for so many more exposures.
