>>3825410I'm not a hater, but sometimes I do take part in the trolling because it's fun.
In truth, I'm a former Fuji shooter. I bought an X-T1 a few years ago, right as they were being discounted and the X-T2 was the current model. I think I paid $600 for the body and I picked up a few of the f/2 weather-sealed primes (the 23mm, 35mm and 50mm), which is really all I need. I was coming from Pentax before and although I enjoyed the DA Limited primes (so many pancake lenses to choose from), I always found it frustrating that so few of them were weather-sealed.
The advantages of the Fuji system, to me, were the compact size (with those primes), the external controls, the weather-sealing and the image quality (I NEVER saw any "worms" in my images, which I think only show up if you are incompetent at using the sharpness slider in Lightroom).
The disadvantages, however, were the postprocessing workflow (running every single .raf through Iridient first), the cost of eventually upgrading (although I got a past-generation body and the more affordable primes, it was frustrating to look around and see full frame prices being charged for most other lenses and the current generation body), the ergonomics, and, to be honest, the whole "analog+command dial" control scheme always seemed stupid and anachronistic to me.
Eventually, I realized that these disadvantages outweighed the positives, I sold my Fuji gear and, since then, I have tried a number of other systems, but I don't think there's really a replacement for a Fujifilm X-T camera if build quality, weather sealing and general size are important qualities. The EOS R, R6 and R5 are better mirrorless cameras than anything Fuji makes, but you do pay for it--which is saying a lot when the Fujis are already so overpriced. I currently shoot an EOS M6 Mark II, which I enjoy because the size, ergonomics, image quality and cost of the lenses (value for APS-C) are just better, but it's no replacement for a Fujifilm camera.
