If you are considering this, the video below is a must watch.

Yes...the new Fuji's are great cameras and many of my friends are ditching their Sonys & Nikons and moving toward them. Much lighter and less bulky to travel with. I am still hopelessly in love with my FF Canon and will simply ignore this video....haha.

I use my Fuji X-T20 for street photography where it is discrete, travel shots where I do not want to bring the Nikon D850 on a plane. But, for sweeping landscapes, astro, panoramas, time lapses and long exposure noting beats a Fx Nikon.

Our generation has the greatest range of choices humans have ever been given and I never forget where I came from and still play with my old film cameras often....can't part with them. And I always look forward to the day's shooting ahead of me with great anticipation and thankful for my Dad haven given me the opportunities I now have. He made it through Omaha Beach on D-Day and is gone now and I miss him so.

My only reservation about cropped sensor cameras. Is that i love extreme wide angle. I have a 121mm lens for 8x10. 65mm for 4x5. 47 mm for medium format. And the 14 to 24 nikkor.

Similar personal preferences here. I even used
the 47 on 4x5 [who needs corners anywho ?],
etc etc etc. Had a Widelux, Globuscope etc etc
and modifed neg carriers to handle all my weird
ultrawide aspect ratios.

But I don't feel deprived today. I have my 8mm
f/4.5 SLR Magic for my m43 stuff. So it needs to
be stopped down .... so what ? Did I not lust for
a Zeiss Hologon that was fixed to f/8 only ? Did
I not lust for a 50/6.3 for my Mamiya Press and
did I not love my 47/8.0 on the 4x5 adapter on
my Graflex XL-SW ? I do not complain about my
10-22 EF-s on my a6500. All of these are about
equal to 15 or 16mm "FF equiv". So, not feeling
deprived in my m43 and APSC, not in the least.

If 15mm no longer rates as "ultrawide", I really
don't give a ratzazz. Lenses shorter than 1/3 of
the format diagonal don't actually produce any
sort of useful increase in angle of view ... they
just clutter the outer regions of the format with
gooey stretched out "details" ... great example
of the failure threshold of mercator projection
[schmooshing a 3D world into a 2D rendering].

Here's an 8mm on m43. There's overly obvious
mercator effect already. This is no distortion by
any optical flaw. A pinhole at 8mm FL would do
exactly the same thing.
