[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 337410, member: 1061"] Yeah, all the pixel peeping IQ nonsense means exactly zero. Who cares how a lens performs in an airtight laboratory at zero gravity on Mars? It has no practical application. No one, and I mean NO ONE shoots in 100% optimal conditions. It's the camera equivalent of those guys who buy $5,000 1/2 horsepower improvements for their cars. Now, we can debate this all day long. But the simple truth is, it's nothing more than measurebating. "Mine is 0.035% better than yours." Mirrorless isn't for everyone. The system has its limitations, just like a DSLR. But for 90% of what I want to shoot, it's a good tradeoff. Just going off of the bulk of the images posted on this forum, most could make the switch and not bat an eyelash. The last thing I want to incite is a Nikon vs Fuji debate, but @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member.php?u=9619"]AC016[/URL] is correct regarding Fuji glass.
