>>3802855It upsets me because it's personal for me. I bought into the hype for a short time and spent over a thousand dollars on one. I would have spent countless more thousands on the lenses, but the wool was gradually lifted from my eyes by the tough love of people on /p/ and I am trying to repay the favor.
By the time I had realized that I was investing into a system that I was paying full frame money for, but which would never be capable of full frame subject isolation, and which was trying to accomplish something with analog dials but failing (since you still have to mess with the command dials to fine tune SS, for example), and even though the X-trans sensor was able to cause certain types of details to look very sharp--hair, for example--other details--foliage, for example--looked atrocious. The film simulations are neat for certain scenes, but many photos needed postprocessing anyway (Fuji colors of nature never seemed natural to me), and running every single file through Iridient and then importing to Lightroom became really tedious, really quickly.
Don't get me wrong, there is a certain audience for Fujifilm X-cameras. The weather sealing, the metal lens construction, the generally smaller-than-full-frame form factor was all very cool. However, with Canon's EOS R now maturing--and the EOS M line for that matter, with the very advanced M6II--I just don't see a place for Fuji cameras anymore, except as a fashion statement or owned by people who *just want* that specific combination of metal lens bodies, weather sealing and fun film sims out of camera. Canon mirrorless have better autofocus accuracy and speed, better ooc colors, despite film sims, and way better ergonomics. Since you want to use Canon lenses anyway, your mistake is obvious to me. It's only natural that I try to correct you on your path.
