  1. This is a funny topic; I am no photographer by any standard, but I love to shoot pictures as a hobby. I used to be a leica user with an M9, purchased the A7 to use my Leica lens because of the low light capability completely blow Leica M9 away, love it so much that I moved to the A7R and bought a bunch of the best E Mount lens, the 55, the 35, you name it, I had good lens. I was loving it. Then I go back to look at my shots for the year, especially since I have switched to A7R, I have much less 'keeper' pictures than with M9, yes even the high iso ones. The A7R is very difficult to get sharp image, probably because of high MP or whatever shutter slam issue, not sure but not really care, at the end, less 'keeper' So I started looking and landed on the Fuji XT1, traded all the sony gear and a 10-24, 35, 50. I have at least 'doubled' my keeper pictures, I have more choices on what I want to keep from my keepers, it widened my selections and options. FF vs APS-C, for my application is irrelevant, I can go as wide as 15mm (equivalent), my widest lens on FF was the voigtlander 15mm. If I want to get really close, I can adapt my 90mm Leica to get 135mm. If I need low light fast lens, I have the 50/1.2 or 35/1.4 I never missed a thing; Then it came to Fuji firmware upgrades, it turns my camera into a new camera, for free. Sony firmware? sure, they send one out when they need to provide support for their new lens, rarely they try to improve the camera they sold to you. Sony's approach is to sell you a new camera next year, A7II, A7RII, etc. I tried to convince myself to get the A7RII, which is a great camera, but I can't convince myself to pay that price for the sony when I am not sure my wallet will like this upgrade approach, and the price tag for the A7RII is also quite high. At the end I get myself more Fuji lens instead, for the price of A7RII I can get a few lens and they were all comparable to the Leica lens I had. I will get the X-Pro2. I love the support they provide to the camera and make it last, they even tell folks not to upgrade the X-E2 and give you an updated firmware instead, who does that?
