Lots of newcomers to this forum in the past 2 years. All loudly proclaiming how wonderful FUJIFILM is. The color, the dynamic range etc. This leads one to ask, where were you during the 90's when Fujifilm was making very competitive SLR's early on that ran toe-to-toe with CaNikon? Reviews here at DPR of the FUJIFILM S1 and S2 are extremely positive and showed that they were a MAJOR player in the move away from film to digital SLRs.

Why did it take the X series to get you to FUJIFILM?

Why was CaNikon your SLR of choice over FUJIFILM?

That's where I was  - Minolta X700, 500si, 800si, 7, 7D, Sony A700 and A850.

Sold that lot (and all the G lenses) and got a Canon 7D (with a few L telephotos) and X100.  Liked the X100 so much I got the X-Pro1. The great thing about the X-series is the IQ coupled with ergonomics that do not take a back seat to size/portability.

Cheers!
