And so as referred to in my last post we're back with Fuji, a bit humbling to have to go back online shopping and re-buy all the gear I was using two years ago but it is at least more handleable for me. The size of the cameras is better (The Z 8 was a bit of a brick to be honest but the image quality isn't in question, and I do miss that!). Due to the arthritis in my thumbs and forefingers, I found both my Z8 and Zf Nikons a bit difficult to hang onto but the Fuji's are better in this regard. I did briefly think about dropping down further on the supposed image quality ladder to an Olympus system but in the end I just couldn't do it. Then OM Systems came out with the OM3 (It's absolutely gorgeous by the way!) so I still might put one of those in the bag at some point in the future!

Anyway I'm digressing here! 

I've dropped about 6 megapixels going from the full frame Nikons to the APSC Fuji's, no big deal. The X-H2 I now have seems to equal or even better the Nikon in dynamic range, which has surprised me. I'm primarily a Landscape photographer and so the stop of extra noise at high ISO does not bother me one bit. Ask any Landscaper and they'll tell you the won't shoot anything at I.S.O. 200 because there is an I.S.O. 100. Viewfinder on the X-H2 is better than the Nikons were, the X-T5 about the same as the Nikon, so that's fine by me. Where I have most definitely gained is in the weight of the Lens set up, they are about half the weight and have reduced the pack weigh by about two kilo's. Camera packs have a tendency to put the gear right on the small of Your back and losing that extra four and a half pounds of pressure has made a big difference!

I've linked to the Fujifilm Gallery on the website for a comparison to the Nikon gear I alluded to in my last post, compare if you like for kicks and giggles  but So far, Hell ain't a bad place to be!
