Lots of people will say look at the specs such as the slow frame rate, only up to 1/4000 second shutter, etc. Most of that stuff means didly to the majority of people. They will see full frame, lightweight and I can use my old lenses on it. Canon just threw the gauntlet down for sales. It will be interesting to see everyone's response. I had a play with the EOS R and didn't like it at all ergonomics wise. Canon's just feel strange in my hand. I also tried the Nikon Z6. It was better but nothing like my old F100 film camera that I compare to everything. The best feeling modern camera in my hands is the one I currently own. The Olympus E-M1 Mark II. It fits like it was custom made for me. Enough rambling from me.

That said, a lot of people like Canon equipment.
I think the guy was blowing hot air, and it's far too early to tell how it will shake out.
It's also important to keep in mind that "mirrorless" encompasses a variety for models: micro 4/3s, cropped, full. It's the future, and it's wide open.
I have played with the Fuji. I really like Fuji cameras. I had one of the first S2-Pro cameras in the area. It was a good camera. I wanted the Fuji XT-1 when it came out but I went with the Olympus side due to price and weight. I bought the E-M10 originally. It was just going to be a travel camera to go along with my Nikon gear. The thing is I never used the Nikon gear after buying it, so I sold all of it. I moved up to the E-M1 and last year I moved up to the Mark II. I do like the Fuji stuff but I am too invested in Olympus to switch.GaryA wrote:

Have you worked/shot with Fuji? Coming from film ... Nikon F series, then Canon and Oly MTF ... I've evolved into Fuji as a great compromise between the small footprint of MFT and the exceptional IQ of FF. I love the Fuji handling, similar to the old SLR's with all the good stuff, shutter speed, ISO, et al, all on top the camera with aperture on the lenses.

Very nice camera. I don't know much about their specs from a person hands on standpoint, but the one thing I've always enjoyed about the Fuji brand is they keep with this retro feel to their cameras.
