[QUOTE="AC016, post: 431908, member: 9619"] First, let's get something out of the way. There is a right tool for everything. Therefore, depending on what you are doing, choose the right tool for your application. Not everyone needs a DSLR and not everyone needs a milc. You have to ask yourself what you are shooting and how. I can only speak of my XP1 against the Nikon DSLR that i have had and the only con, is the AF. No, it is not as fast and snappy as my D7100 was. But.... i don't need that fast and snappy AF for the majority of the photography that i do. With that being said, i have done just fine doing my plane spotting, some sports and birds with my XP1. It's all a personal choice based on what your needs are as a photographer. It's silly to compare Nikon's or Canon's lens line up to a camera system that has only been around for a few years. It's like saying Ford has made more cars then Tesla. It's stating the obvious. If the X mount lasts as long as the F mount, i can guarantee that Fuji will have loads of lenses for "collectors" to choose from. As it stands now, they have a very good line-up that would please the majority of photographers. Further, keep in mind that Fuji is mimicking the range finder cameras; therefore, the lens line-up will be somewhat different from that of a DSLR system. In regards to weight, it seems that everyone thinks that weight should be the driving force behind switching to mirrorless. That is not the case and was not for me. There are a plethora of other reasons to consider. Though, if you would like to talk about weight, why solely concentrate on the lenses? Nikon D7100, body only = 675g. Fuji X-Pro1, body only = 450g. That's a saving of 225g. I have done this before, many times and overall (in my case), my MILC will be lighter. Even if the Fuji lenses may be heavier in some instances (by a couple of grams??), they are not "plasticky" like the DX lenses. Comparing an FX sensor to APS-C sensor... really? Fine, why don't we compare a medium format, Phase One IQ180 digital back with 80mp to the Nikon 8XX or 750. Kind of ridiculous, no? If you want to do comparisons, let's stick to apples to apples. I know for a fact that the X trans sensor is great with noise and when doing ETTR, you can get a ton of detail from the shadows. It is far ahead of the 16mp APS-C sensor found in any other camera. RAF files have a ton of flexibility. You just have to know how to work with them and with what tools. [/QUOTE]
