Went rogue selling some of my good Sony cameras lens etc and bought a Fuji XT3 with lens a
Black Friday deal. A photographer from San Francisco wrote an extensive article about his work
with aps-c camera's and his work is outstanding. He resisted larger gear and has been very successful.
I have Full frame and bridge and small like the RX100 4. But was intrigued by the Fuji camera's.
I don't want to identify him so he won't get a lot of crazy online stuff like Ken Rockwell gets.

Thank you Jerry. I was reviewing my Sony camera's and the first NEX 5 got me to drop Nikon.
I have the a6000 but when I bought the a6300 I was startled how good the stills and video were.
Might keep the Sony FF a7s II with the zeiss 55mm lens. Not sure. Probably sell easily.
I have the RX100 4 and the RX10 24 600mm bridge.
I must say Sony did a great job with their lineup. The camera's are great. And
they led the charge for mirrorless and video off of DSLR type style camera's.
My researching led me to believe that a good smaller camera can make
images the same or very close to the big guys.
Thanks Tom

Making profit while doing it? Or is it otherwise?

I love my X-E2 and am considering my next system, since I don't own the Nikon gear I use.
I will eventually need to return the Nikon stuff.
I was drawn to Fuji for the interface...so intuitive and film-camera like.
Fantastic lenses!
I think it helps to use a camera you love to use.
I’ve used a few that I didn’t.
A very good pro friend of mine in town has an X-T3 to shoot along with his Canon gear.
He looked at the X-T4 and didn't think it was worth the upgrade.
He's going to loan me his older X-T2 for a while....which could be dangerous.
There are some really good FaceBook groups dedicated to Fuji cameras (no apostrophe needed as it's plural, not possessive).
FaceBook can be beneficial in that area.
Helpful members who’ve actually had the same issues you’re experiencing and seeing what’s capable.
for starters:
"Fujifilm X-T User Group X-T4, X-T3 and More"
"Fujifilm X-T3 Photography"
Enjoy your Fuji!

That's irrelevant, but selling used gear for more than you paid for it is dreaming. The sale of the old equipment could bring in more money than the new gear cost, though. That's ideal.

Just sold my Sony equipment and went XT-3. I’m very pleased but realize I’m still on my “honeymoon.”

Absolutely love my XT-3. Found it much easier to use that the Sony system I dabbled with a few years back. Their lenses are of very high quality in terms of build and images. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I absolutely love the control layout, easy access without having to dive through menus, and image quaility of my Fuji X-T2. Best purchase I ever made. I still enjoy my Nikon D 7100, but always reach for the Fuji.

Thanks, I haven’t visited there in a while.

I ditched the full frame stuff awhile back, just found it wasn't needed for anything I do. I did stick with sony though, again does the job wonderfully and I own it and am familier. Maybe it wasn't a good example but have owned a couple of fuji x100's, loved the look and feel and quality but I never got comfortable with the menu's?
