I am all in with the Fuji X system, and love the great images that I can create with these great cameras and lenses. I also find the retro style of the cameras to be a lot of fun.
I was originally a Nikon film shooter, starting underwater with the Nikonos V, and then the Nikon F80 SLR, before going digital with D100 and D200 bodies. From there, I went to the Micro Four Thirds system with Panasonic bodies and Pana and Olympus lenses. I loved the lightweight nature of m43, but ultimately found it limiting especially for astrophotography. The Fuji X System provides a fabulous balance of weight and size with great image quality.
