Thinking of going 100% Fuji. Thoughts?
1

Maybe slightly biased here, but I'll ask anyways.  I entered the Fuji world with the X100s, and then sold it and got an X-T10 with the 16-50ii, and added the 35mm 1.4.  Love that combo, and I love some of the operational and ergonomic improvements the X-T10 has made such as the faster AF and tilt screen.

My "main" kit is a Canon 6D with the 24-70ii lens.  It's the oldest camera body I currently use, but I was surprised to see that it also has the least shutter count.  I only use this camera when I shoot events, very rarely (honestly almost never now) for personal walkaround shooting.  I'm not a professional, sometimes I get asked to do events.  Once in a while they offer to pay, usually not, I just do it because I love shooting.  A couple of weddings, birthday parties, workplace events, stuff like that.  I only really need the 24-70 for all this shooting, and sometimes use the cheapie 50mm 1.8 ii if I need an extra stop of light.

I'm considering the possibility of selling this off and adding another Fuji body, probably the X-T1 with the 18-55.  Then add a telephoto like the 55-200, and I think I'll be set for my personal shooting needs.

But then at the same time I'm also thinking maybe I should hang on to the 6D, because my Canon investment is relatively minimal anyways.  Just the 6D, 24-70, and 50mm.  Very small kit compared to what a lot of people have.  I could just maintain this until my 6D dies, and then reevaluate then.

Another idea is just sell the 6D since it's probably near its end of life anyways, but keep around the 24-70ii for the possibility of a move back into Canon later.

Anyways, thoughts on this?
