    Not mentioned in the press release or during the press events.
     
    I'd bet they offer something after a year or so to boost declining sales.

    starwatcher reacted to Scalatron in Moved from Sony to Fuji!   
    Hi, after using Nikon for years I switched to Sony last year mainly to reduce size and weight. While this worked well I didn't realise how fiddly and annoying button pushing would be on a a6000 and how utterly soulless the experience would be. Sony's apathy to crop sensor lenses didn't help - just two E fit primes, the 35mm and 50mm unless you buy fullframe FE 'Zeiss' (Sony with Zeiss logo and price tag). It was while I was in a department store looking at laptops I came across the camera department and was immediately attracted to a graphite X-T1. As soon as I looked through the viewfinder I knew I was selling the Sony! Here was a camera that didn't feel like an electronic box, one with dials and aperture ring but smaller than the Nikon, similar in size to my first SLR the OM-1. The next day I part exchanged the Sony for a black X-T1 and loving it.

    starwatcher reacted to milandro in X-PRO 2 ......a little disappointed but still going with it!   
    Are you missing something? I don’t know. Probably not.
     
    Fuji and Canon are different cameras they suit different people and different shooting styles.
     
    If you feel that dissatisfied and you wonder whether you have missed something... there is a good chance that you are missing something.
     
    Perhaps the classified section?

    I am sure someone would be able to put you out of your misery and relieve you from this burden leaving you to your Canon pleasures.
     
    As they say, to each his own. Having been there and done that ( although mostly in the studio) cannot see myself, again, burdened with the weight and size of a Canon in real life.
     
    But maybe you don’t mind that.
     
    As for sharpness, I really don’t miss any in most lenses ( some of which are non Fuji native ones which don’t even have the benefits of software correction). The extremely humble 18-55 is one of the sharpest lenses that I’ve ever used in my whole life.
     
    I am reminded every day of its qualities.
     
    But again, to each his own.
     
    If one system would be the only one capable to fit all the so many needs there wouldn’t be so many camera, so, maybe, indeed, this system might not be for you.
     
    Good luck!
