    dsidaway got a reaction from CRAusmus in Introduce Yourself   
    Hi all
     
    I'm a 30+ year news photographer in Montreal, Canada. I use Canons for work and I don't own any Fuji equipment... yet. I'm one of those who has been waiting for the XPro2. And when I say waiting, I mean waiting. I trust the XPro2 will not disappoint.
     
    I bought my father an XE2 and he loves it. He travels a lot and at 83, portability/weight really goes a long way. And those are the same reasons I'm looking to buy a Fuji. It's the rangefinder style that I'm interested in and as much as I would like to own a Leica, I would also like a Ferrari but neither of those two options are available to me.
     
    I've been returning to Fuji Rumours to get any piece of positive info that will keep me wishfully waiting... and a big thanks for the website. I know a lot of working news guys who have a Fuji something-or-other as a personal camera and I plan on becoming another.

    As a news photographer, I use Canon and I don't see that changing but as for a personal camera, I am waiting, waiting, waiting to see the X Pro2, honestly because of the retro rangefinder styling.

    dsidaway reacted to andrew brown in Fuji hatred? Why?   
    Nikon hate Canon, Canon hate Nikon, Canikon hate any one that trys to ruin their monopoly.
     
    Who cares?
     
    Really?
     
    If you've bought into the Fuji X  system, it is because it offers something that makes your photography a much more enjoyable past time (or work tool) than using any of the other systems.
    That's all that matters.
     
    Every system will have something the other systems don't have, and all the small minded little people trying to justify their choice as opposed to the features that choice did not come with, just to stop them feeling like they've made a bad choice.
     
    I like the picture - not the camera, not the photographer, not the software used to process it, not the computer used to process it on or how good it looks on this smartphone or that tablet.
     
    So, I think you can assume this will be my only comment on such a subject...
     
    Look forward to enjoying other peoples pictures and advice on how to get shots or certain effects into a picture etc.
