To me, the 100-400 is a specialized lens made for wildlife and sports. It's big and heavy but the weight is not an issue with that kind of photography. The 55-200 could be used as an everyday lens. Using that lens for landscape and cityscape can give interesting results with the compression effect.

I know many people have different brands, but I prefer allowing all my budget to a single camera mount. That being said, I got my X-T1 yesterday!! I picked a 18-55 f2.4-4 for now and I plan to get the following lenses in the coming weeks/months - Rokinon 12mm f2 - XF 35 f2 - XF 55-200 - XF 100-400 I'm also considering adding either a 16mm or 10-24 I will read carefully the manual in the next days and install the latest firmware.

Based on the Lee system match, the 14mm f2.8 should work without issue on the seven5 system. But the 10-24 is marked as not compatible: http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera/system-match However, I found a blog post where someone was able to use the seven5 system with the 10-24 by removing the second slot: https://richardbowdenphotography.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/can-you-use-lee-seven5-filters-with-a-fuji-10-24mm-lens/ I currently have only one lee filter which is the big stopper (100mm). But as I'm moving to Fuji, I also consider selling my filter and buy a seven5 kit. I'm not decided, because while seven5 is cheaper, the 100mm is for sure a better long-term solution; it will last many years and who knows which camera/lens you will be using in next 4-5 years..

I'm looking forward for the X-T2. it might fix that issue, even better than the X-Pro2.

When using 8FPS on X-T1, does the camera do the focus on every frame? And it would be great if the X-T2 doesn't have a blackout period. Thanks

Wildlife is not my principal interest. Last two weeks, I did rent a Sigma 150-600 to shoot goose migration. My D7000 was slow to focus sometimes and since the light was not superb, my camera was set to ISO 3200 and even 6400, which is a way to high for my camera. On next Saturday, I'm gooing to shoot red foxes. I will still use the same setup and hopefully the condition will be better. I don't think the 100-400 with the X-T1 (and later the X-T2) will be an issue compared to my actual setup, at least for most shooting conditions. Shooting a moose, fox or bear doesn't require the fastest AF on the market. But if a need something better, I would prefer to rent a Nikon FF body with a good telephoto lens about 4-5 times a year rather than keeping my D7000 and buying a good telephoto lens.

It looks like the X-T2 won't be available for my summer vacation, so I made my decision and I will buy a used X-T1. The lower price will help me to buy lenses. There are a couple of interesting offerings in my region actually. I will put my Nikon gear for sale this Friday. I'm still unsure if I need to sell my SB700 flash. Yesterday, FR posted a new product that allow Fuji users to use Nikon flashes. I really know nothing about how Fuji can work with third party flashes (TTL, HSS), I need to read on this topic. But for sure, I want someting easy to use.

Nice to hear that. In the next days, I will be selling my Nikon gear (D7000 and lenses) to get a used X-T1. You are right about the a6300 and the blackout period. And in a recent interview, a Fuji manager told that they should improve that as well.

Beautiful pictures!

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing.

Hi, Nice pics! I'm with Nikon and planning to buy a x-t1 or x-t2. What is the best Nikon to Fuji X adapter? Is the AF working? Thanks

Thanks Deva and addicted2light for comments. You are right about battery life. This is something really good about DSLR. I have shot about 750 frames on Saturday and my battery was a bit below 50%. But this shooting was an exception. I don't shoot that much normally. I will carry more extra batteries with a X-T. I never used an EVF but the one from the X-T1 seems really good, specially the size, a real advantage. I'm waiting for the official announcement and based on the price and availability I will decide if I go with a new X-T2 for a used X-T1. With the recent price increase in Canada, I might go with the last option for this summer to save money for more lenses, and then move to the X-T2 once the price drop.

Well, while Fuji lenses are not the most compact, I think their size is good as they got wide aperture. And Fuji seems indicate that they will be focusing on smaller F2 lenses which is great. And since Fuji has only an APS-C system, all their lenses are designed for that sensor size. With Canikon, most of the times, they will release wide aperture lenses with FF in mind which means larger lenses. Sure they got a few small 1.4, 1.8 primes but they are not as good as Sigma ART lenses. But those ones are so heavy and big; I would not want to travel with that.

I never use AF tracking anyway, it doesn't work good on my current camera. And for high ISO, I actually never go above 1600. I never got great results at 3200. It still a 5 years old camera... On this chapter, the X-T2 would give me the results I want. In the meantime, the X-T1 could do a bit better than my D7000 which is a good thing. Sure the new D500 should be a beast, but people are so crazy these days with high ISO. Wildlife is the only time I need really high ISO but having a good 6400 would be perfect.

Thank you everyone for you comments and suggestions. Really appreciated. Last year, I almost bought a D7200. This would have been a really rational choice. But I realized that having a smaller kit is what I wanted. Then I fell in love with Fuji. The D7200 is not a super heavy camera, but I do a lot of hiking and outdoor activities, so having a Fuji with one or two light primes could be perfect (27 / 35f2 for instance). Smaller bag, smaller filters, lighter tripod is an advantage too. Also, my current lense setup is ok, but I never updated it since my D7000 purchase back to 2010. So I miss a long telephoto and my ultra wide angle lense is not suitable for night photography (stars). I also do more portraits than before, and I don't really have a good lense for that. So as I need to invest into lenses, I think it's the right time to switch to mirrorless. I would keep this system for at least another 5 years. I'm happy to hear you that the X-T1 would be a better camera in almost every aspect. That's being said, I think I will keep an eye on used market in my region and wait to find a X-T1 at a good price. It's that time of the year when I don't shoot often, so there's nothing urgent. Then I will loose less money when moving to X-T2, and I could wait a few months to get this last one so the price can fall and Fuji can fix first issues. This could be a perfect tradeoff. And to answer you Fredkelder, I understand perfectly the "limitations" of current Fuji system vs latest generation of DSLR. And Fuji has a great lenses lineup. When they announced the 100-400 earlier this year, at that time I was then convinced that Fuji could fit all my needs.

Hi all, Since last year, I'm more and more interested by Fuji. Since a couple of months, I really enjoy looking at your pictures on this forum. I'm really looking forward to replace my Nikon D7000 and lenses to get new gear for this summer. I initially thought than I should wait for X-T2, but the wait could be long and starting with X-T2 plus a few lenses could be pricey. So I'm wondering if the X-T1 could be a good choice and start invest into Fuji today. My biggest concern is to make sure that my next camera is a noticable step forward from my D7000. Is there someone here that did the same upgrade path? How is the X-T1 compared to the D7xxx line in term of image quality and usability? The D7000 has not the greatest AF system... which camera would be better (speed, accuracy and low-light)? My main interest is landscape and nature, but I also enjoy taking pictures of different subjects types. I also like wildlife, but I'm already limited by my 70-300. Here is my current gear (to be sold) Nikon D7000 Tamron 17-50 f2.8 Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 Nikon 70-300 VRII Nikon 50mm f1.8 (don't use it often) Flash Nikon SB700 + Yongnuo flashes Lee 100mm holder + filters I would like to start with this kit now, and improve it over the time X-T1 18-55 f2.8-4 55-200 or 50-230 Rokinon 12mm I would need a good TTL flash, I think Yongnuo has one for Fuji I would like to migrate from Lee 100mm to Lee Seven7 In the future, the 100-400 would be my top priority for wildlife, then I would add some primes from time to time for better portraits, and to have more ultralight combo options for street photography or hiking. Thank you for your comments!

Nikon DSLR, waiting for X-T2. It will be my unique camera.
