Nah... Nikon is part of Mitsubishi. Money should be the least of their concern, synergy options abundant.

Waited a long time for the X-E3, now i'm very happy with the X-T20.

I used Lightroom for quite a few years, but thanks to Adobe trying to force everyone in their cloud subscription model, I am now in the process of switching to CaptureOne Pro 9. Lightroom's interface and library functions are very nice, but it is certainly not very good for developing Fuji files (at least up to 5.7). Also, I refuse to pay for an update to 6.x (the stand alone version is very well hidden on their site), which to me is basically a minor update and a bug fix (speed). So goodbye Adobe. And I still haven't forgiven them buying the vastly superior Pixmantec RawShooter and taking it off the market before launching Lightroom 1. I like the colors of Capture One a LOT. Iridient is amazing in the detail field, but requires more attention to color and has no library function at all. The combination of both should be more than enough, so I am not very interested in spending time on even more alternatives (Raw Therapy, Photo Ninja). Basically I think Fuji jpg's are good enough most of the time, with the occasional need for tweaking beyond the capabilities of jpg. So I shoot jpg + RAW and I wish there was a good way of sorting out images and simultaneously deleting both RAW and jpg. Whilst spending only half an hour or so on Silkypix, I think it is way too frustrating. Now, there is one weird thing about Fuji jpg's, call me crazy if you will: they look stunning to me (YMMV) when displayed full screen on my older 27" Mac Retina (the sRGB version). Only when pixel peeping at level 1 (100%) the detail disappoints (sharpening +2 X-E1). It is amazing what Iridient can do regarding fine detail, just tried it with my new 35mm f2 toy. Rest assured, I never pixel peep at level 2 (200%) or 3 (300 %). All I have to do now is migrate my Lightroom catalog, play around with the Fuji profiles somewhere on this forum and hope that Phase One and Fuji finally become good friends, just in case I might buy an X-T2 somewhere in the next half year :-)
