Thank goodness the post police showed up a little ways back to tell people what they should or shouldn't post and to chastise them for what they posted.

I switched from Nikon (D850) to Fujifilm's X-T3 and X-H1 and I haven't missed much. The optics are terrific, the camera technology is fine and the whole system weighs less than what I had. So count me in as a FUJIFILM advocate!

Very sorry to hear of you health news rjay. I'm nearing 60 and my body is changing and fixing things isn't as much fun (not that it cannot be done rather than I'd rather do other things). I also must think about this end process and get my things in order. I try to teach others what I know and help with mundane things (to me) that may be challenging to my family, as in building a pantry the other day from a kit and it looks very nice. I'm almost done building a new computer for photo editing but one hard drive was defective so I'm waiting for a new one to arrive. In the past I've used laptops that were upgraded but lacked the video and extreme processing power to work with huge RAW files. Not to bother you with to much but if you would like to see and hear more just let me know. I look forward to seeing more of your pictures here at UHH.

My very first venture into digital cameras was with a Fuji S200, a bridge camera that was built like a tank and had INCREDIBLE color and clarity. Used it for several years and if it weren't for it accidentally knocked over a ledge, I would still be using it. By the time of the accident, Fuji had stopped making it and I didn't want to buy a used one. And I have also seen unedited photos taken with Fuji cameras(not sure which models) and the same quality is still there. I am one not afraid to go outside of the Canon/Nikon world since i currently have a Pentax K70 and am saving up for a Fuji.

I Have owned PENTAX glass & cameras since VietNam, 68-69. Never had/or saw, anything I liked NEAR as much. When doing some research to find a camera for my son,s trip to Japan, I discovered “FUJI” and recommended same to him. My enthusiasm for the brand was quite strong, so much so that I bought one for myself. I got the X-T20 and it’s swell and was inexpensive(though I now wish I had spent a little more and bought the X-T-2, being weather resistant etc.”)I have since acquired another fuji camera and 5 fuji lenses. In my not-so HUMBLE opinion, Pentax & Fuji are all I want/need, for my Photographic pursuits. Just GREAT glass and MACHINES. Now, it’s a “toss-up, for me as to which system I choose to use on any photo shoot, so I usually have one of each body and a few lenses. RJM

I have found the menus on some of my OM cameras are a nightmare to filter thru; I have heard similar stories ( right here on UHH; guess I didn't really "hear" them, I "saw" them ); how do you find using the menus on the Fujis ?

I was a Nikon user myself (3 cameras with half a dozen or so lenses), until I bought my first Fuji, now it is pretty much all I shot with. I just really like how it operates, not to mention the size and weight loss going to a mirrorless camera gave me.

All I can say is that the Fuji menus are a hell of a lot better than the Sony menus.

I have had many Fuji cameras. I made the switch a year ago from Nikon FF to the 24mp Fuji X-H1. Crop sensor medium sized body mirrorless piece of heaven! With the grip its a wonder to hold. Without, nice and relatively compact. IBIS, along with lenses with IS. You can migrate any of your current lenses to the Fuji and have IS, although manual Focus. Fuji colors are as everone says...amazing. Can't quite put into word's. Just something about them. Intuitive menu system. Face detection, many of the bells and whistkes other brands have, if you need them. Check around, oeople who own these cameras love them. If you want the current one thats a little more compact, get the X-T3.

rjaywallace,
So sorry to hear of your health troubles. Not sure how you might receive this, but I will pray for you. Your comments here have always been astute. Thank you.

I own an X-T3, X-H1. I have owned X-T1, X-T2. I also have a X-T30 converted for IR. Obviously, I’m a Fuji fan. Changed over to Mirrorless several years ago from Nikon and have not looked back

I have both Fuji X-T2 and X-T20 (as well as Nikon FF). Love them all, Fuji's color is different. Controls are also easier to adjust, but take some getting used to. X-T20 is light and portable but not weather resistant (not an issue for me as a hobbyist).

I will proudly admit to owning and using both a Fuji XT-2 and an X-T3! My Fujis have become my “go-to” cameras, even though I’ve used Canon for over 30 years and still own a 5D III (soon to be sold) and a recently purchased EOS R. I use full frame when needed and I still prefer the Canon flash system, but I love my Fujis! Yes, there is a learning curve, but after you understand the Fuji approach, in many ways it is simpler, more intuitive, and just more fun! And...as others have mentioned...Fuji glass is superb (and I am comparing to my Canon L glass)!!

One comment stated the Fuji is more complicated. What I have found is that mirrorless cameras in general are more complicated initially because of all the customization options. If you take the time up front to learn the setup options and to think through your habits and what will be the most convenient for you, these cameras become very user friendly. I found this to be the case with both the Fujis and the Canon EOS R.

Bought a Fujifilm X-T20 with the two kit lenses at a military appreciation sale at my local BX. TWo months later I sold my tank Canon and several expensive lenses, bought more Fuji glass. Haven’t looked back since and no regrets whatsoever. Elderly? At 77 I guess I qualify, i do have to occasionally use a cane but try to not let that slow me down.

Hi there,

I own 3 Fuji Cameras. An XE2 which was my introduction to Fuji (I have shot Nikon all my life up to 4 years ago when I bought the XE2). I have an XT1 and an XT2. All the bodies were bought used. I have 4 Fuji lenses 14/f2.8 10-24 f4 16-50 & 18-135. I also have about 15 "vintage" MF lenses - Nikon, Industar, Helios & Konica.

I love the feel of the cameras - they are metal and both the T1 & T2 remind me of my FM2 which was my fave film camera. The XE2 is a great, very small and light package.

I love the fact I can use vintage MF lenses with great results.

The image quality from Fuji Cameras is extraordinary - it has a special "feel" to it. It's very hard to describe. I love to shoot manual with my Fuji AF lenses - get the benefit of AF but the control over the trilogy that I want.

Are Fuji X-T cameras perfect - of course not. IMHO I do not think a perfect anything exists let alone a camera. Maybe I will trade in my old Nikon D300 (perfect condition under 10K clicks) and a couple of Sigma lenses towards an XH-1 to get in-camera stabilisation which will be great for my vintage lenses or maybe, shock horror, buy a used Sony a7ii for my vintage lenses.

I had a Nikon D7K which made good photos I sold it to buy a Fuji lens. It was a competent camera but did not press the right tactile buttons for me.

Finally, I'm a very happy Fuji shooter. Prefer the XT-1 to all the others - it's a size thing - even though the T2 is better and faster. The XE2 is just so cool to use.......

Hope you find these thoughts useful.

Andy
