I agree 100%. But in this case, being used especially by pro wedding photographers, how would a pro's wedding portofolio look like with a 6mp 10 years old APSC? There must be a FF(the newer the better) or clients won't hire you. If we could compare only the pictures, no gear, exifs, pixel peeping involved, then I'm sure Fuji S5 pictures would be still on top (afaic they are). A few weeks ago I went on a trip with some friends and kids and we took some pictures with Fuji S5. It was a sunny autumn day so the light was great, the scenery was great and the Fuji sensor did the rest. We have taken pictures together before but when I showed them the S5 pictures (sooc jpegs) they were so excited, I've never seen them so excited for a bunch of pictures and that meant a lot to me.

i would say that this camera cant used as a main camera for all professionals works. I mean that some works demand speed, some works demand large prints, some works demand high iso.. but this camera can be used for portrait work in day light with people they dont want very large prints. i would say a small camera with nice lens can work much better in any situation.i would say that fuji mirroless is ideal for professional work. they can work in high iso, there are small so easy to carry, etc. but at the moment   i am afraid to selling ll my gear to go to fuji:)
