Thank you Aswald. I think I'll send it in for cleaning. Since its out of Warranty, I'll may have a local camera shop see if they'll want to attempt it themselves or have Fujifilm do it.

Yes, unbelievably a Tangerine broke open onto my XT1 (it was sitting on top of the xt1 in my backpack). I tired to clean it off as best as I could using a damp paper towel however the juices did get in between the body the knobs on the top of the camera & although they're fully working it is very difficult to move them probably due to the juice drying into a sticky mess where I can't access it to clean it off. Are the top knobs easily remove able? Any suggestions on how te best clean it? TIA!

I think he already owns a D800/600. I'd wait and rent an XT1 once the firmware update is released. One thing that will be different is having only the APS-C / DX crop sensor which changes your lens selections. For me, I shoot mostly using telephoto lenses and rarely need extra high quality wide shots so having the extra 1.5 crop is a bonus. A good friend of mine has the D810 and raves about it's low light capabilities and excellent high ISO results. We did a cursory sharpness comparison test between my D300s, X-T1, and his D7000 & D810 using their 18-55 kit lenses. It appeared the Nikon 18-55 had superior sharpness albeit marginally. We didn't have time to try it with the same lens Nikkor lens on both cameras using my Nikon to Fuji lens adapter though. HTH.
