The x-S10 compares directly to the Z50 and beats it in most places on paper. The biggest for me is IBIS, which reduces the size/bulk of lenses (if they would actually make them) and works better than VR imho (works in conjunction with "VR" lenses).
I see no reason to stay loyal to "Playing From Behind" Nikon just for the ability to use big heavy lenses with an adapter. Which is one of the reasons I want to change systems in the first place.
I can buy the kit 16-80mm f/4 and have nearly the same coverage of my 24-70 and 70-200--in a smaller/lighter package. I wouldn't even want the slow Nikon kit lenses. f/6.3 @ 50mm????
Also, have you not read me rant about how much I dislike Nikon as of late?
One of the biggest reasons I was a Nikon fan was their DR and sensor technology. Well once Sony come out with the A7, everything changed. Then Nikon decided to go to the 20MP APS-C sensor, that IMHO isn't that great.
It's been pretty obvious since ~2006 when I bought my D40 they have no intention of being cutting-edge trend-setters, but instead do the least amount of improvements/advancements as possible, wait for Canon to release a camera, then spec theirs slightly better with minimal improvements, while at the same time removing other features that made them better (like what they did to the D7500 released after the D500). I remember replacing the D40 with the D3100 (not knowing better back then) for the extra MPs and finding out the camera lacked many of the features the D40 offered.
And don't get me started on the absolute **** menu system they had used since day one.
Anyway, I'm up for a change, and I hear nothing but good things from Fuji owners/reviewers.
different people have different tastes .. technically I agree with some points but overall I just like Nikon and favour that over other brands and there's nothing wrong with that ... I don't have so huge experience with other cameras, I am not Ken Rockwell or whoerver else like that but based on what I've already seen and what I've experienced I have completely no problem with Nikon in the meaning of ergomics (well, that rant about menu is obviously very subjective, personally I do consider Fuji menu as less-intuitive and awkward sometimes) .. I do own Nikon cameras, Fuji and some Canon .. I almost don't know from the field Sony and Panasonic (Lumix)
your other complains about removing features and waiting for canon what they will release and so on is imho a bit unfair .. current lineup of Nikon cameras are considered as one of the best cameras on the market by wide range of sources so cameras like D850, Z5/6/7 are top notch .. it's sure that almost every brand has some wtf cameras like overpriced D500 which should probably compete with lighter aps-c Fuji or Lumix cameras or totally ridiculously backwards meh cameras D5/6 (20MP for $6K, lol)
You have right for strong opinions but it's your subjective personal matter and the stronger your opinions sound, the less relevant they are for the other ppl
.. I do it same except of manual focus .. why ? it's like binding your legs and going for a run competition
