When the new Nikon and Canon full frame mirrorless cameras were announced with their inability to support high frame rates with continuous AF and exposure computations, I suspected that they had either intentionally crippled performance or, more likely, incorporated in-camera processors that are deficient in processing power. An examination of the specifications of the Fujifilm X-T3, Nikon Z6 and Canon EOS R indicates that Fujifilm did not make the same mistake. The Fujifilm X-T3 has greatly super performance in terms of AF and exposure speed at significantly lower cost. AF performance might scale with the number of pixels in he sensor, but not the size of the sensor.

When I decided to go mirrorless I of course looked on the internet over and over and of course heard from every expert on every camera tout their praises but the one thing that stuck in my mind, although I cannot find the op, was that Canon, Nikon, and Sony seemed to be trying to outdo everyone else and Fuji keeps trying to outdo itself. And what I've seen of their updates and quietly plodding along with their crop sensor finesse' is just that! I was sold (and of course I picked up the thing too - that didn't help ;)

Fuji, Panasonic, Sony and Olympus are more experienced making mirrorless cameras than Nikon and Canon are. Actually Nikon and Canon are newcomers to these cameras.
Precisely last night I was watching groups of images made with Nikon, Canon and Fuji and the Fuji colors are excellent and the quality of its lenses superb to say the least. I saw also images made with the Leica M-10 and Ernst Leitz lenses and the images from the Leica in my opinion were not superior to those made with Fuji lenses. It is very possible that enlarging to mural sizes the Leica lenses are better but who in this world shoots to make murals? In my case I seldom go beyond 13x19 inches when I enlarge my files and I do not enlarge on a daily basis.
The quality of Olympus lenses is also very well known and Panasonic is not that far behind. Both companies have been making mirrorless cameras for about 10 years and they are experienced at that. Panasonic is going to debut a new camera soon so called "full frame" but shooting Olympus or Panasonic at a default 4:3 ratio the cameras use the full sensor. It is rumored that Olympus will debut a new camera in early 2019 with a new sensor.
I use Olympus with lenses made by Olympus and Panasonic and I am entirely satisfied with the quality I get. Fuji is a great choice although I prefer Olympus because of its IBIS (in body image stabilization).

I gotta tell ya - My primary squeeze is a Nikon D810 and my wife is using an Olympus E-M5mk2 and a bag full of PRO glass. Her images are fantastic and enlargements are no problem. To get into ML, I bought the last E-M1 available new in Toronto for C$999 18 months ago so I can share her lens collection. I am loving it. I think that the Olympus bodies are being underrated by all of the noise about sensor size. I do agree that 1/2 full frame is a bit small, but when I compare my wife’s E-M5mk2 with the PRO 300mm f/4 lens attached to my D810 with my Nikon 300mm f/4 lens attached.... And she has an effective focal length of 600mm with that lens. Hmmmm.

People can get worked up ad infinitum about full frame v others, latest and greatest v older models. Have to admit it has had me in its grip at times !
I'm totally APS-C (Fuji X) now and in the "good enough for me" (thanks Thom Hogan) bracket. I've had an X-T2 for a year, before that X-E1, X-T1, X-100s, X-Pro2, and my, how it's grown due to Fuji's commitment to firmware updates. Yep, would love, and will probably eventually purchase the T3, but would simply advise the "enthusiasts" like me who have no intention to have the need to make money from their hobby, then consider what's "good enough" for your own particular wants/needs.
Example here ...... photo is from 2014 / Fuji X-E1 (even Fuji lovers laugh at this now !) / XF 35mm f1.4 lens / 1/850 sec / f1.8 / ISO 200 ...... isn't this "good enough"?
Up to you, of course !
