I don't know where to start, but to make it really short, I'm jumping ship to the pentax K1.

I took some photos and imported them in lightroom and all I can say is that the images are astounding! I have never seen colors like that from any camera I have ever used. It is truly amazing and the price is just unbeatable.

The output of the K1 is simply on a whole different level and because I mainly shoot mostly in poor low light the amazing low light capability of this puppy will help me tremendously.

What I can tell you is that after only a few seconds of seeing how the files and the colors behave, I'm sold. The images look very much like "film" as well and I'm simply in love at first sight. Also after seeing the white balance capability I'm in shock at how gorgeous the images look. There is no way to explain it until you see the files yourself.

I have been waiting and waiting and I have looked at ALL camera brands for MONTHS, I talked to my wife about this move, and the K1 is THE one.

It has been a true pleasure to be here and to have used Fuji starting with the S5 Pro, then the X10, then XE1 and XT1, and a few days with the XT2. I have learned a LOT from many of you, and I truly respect everyone here and all you guys are awesome. I know I too have been a pain on the butt and I thank you for putting up with me as well.

It will take me some time to sell all my stuff so meanwhile I will continue shooting with my existing gear. Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend.

You know, I tried this same type of post to say goodbye to my "friends" when I left the Sony forum. I got crucified. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen here. All I have to say to you, Batdude, is "God bless. Best of success and happiness. Enjoy your new camera to the utmost. I'm glad you found what works for you and what you love." - Chris

Thank you Chris, I appreciate that.

I'm sure fuji will succeed at what they are doing and their products are for sure fantastic. I have no doubt that I might continue purchasing their stuff in the very near future. Fuji is kind of "my first love". Had that effect when I discovered the S5 Pro several years ago.

I'm definitely not going to post a "good bye" in the nikon forum. All those guys are obsesses with is AF, nothing else hahahahaha! They will definitely crucify me there.

Cheers and enjoy your new camera gear.
