. My post is - I’ve been a long time Nikon full frame and DX crop body user and am considering going Fuji. I am a licenced photographer who shoot a few weddings, portrait , real estate , landscapes, wild life, macro, and whatever else I get a chance to shoot. I’m not hat busy as far as it being a business, but I do need gear that will fulfill my needs. I’m considering going FUji but what do you think of Sony and Olympus?

Third time you've posed exactly the same question in the last 12 months. Perhaps look back over the previous responses?

If you need full frame, then Sony would be a better option but the question is whether you actually need that. There are plenty of wedding photogs using Fuji, but the biggest change if you're a zoom photographer is that the best outcomes are to be had with Fuji primes. I.e. I know Fuji wedding photogs who will shoot with 3 lenses, 16, 23 and 56 or 16, 35 and 56.I hit send before finishing my post

Yes there is a difference between a picture and a photograph.

I came from Nikon full frame and I'm happy but I don't shoot weddings so I can't comment on whether that would work. The Fuji glass from a landscape and portrait perspective is wild life perspective is good though unless you need a long prime like a 400 f/2.8
Here are a variety of photos, I'm not a pro so I'm pretty sure you could do better. Some are full res, the others may be smaller depending on the size I uploaded to my site

Like you I used Nikon cameras for a long time. I picked up a refurbished X-E2 and a 27mm lens to see if I liked it. I did. I'm slowly selling my Nikon lenses. My advice is to try it. There's not too much cost associated with the experiment and I found it well worth my while.

I am also considering the Fujifilm X series, in my case the X-T20 or X-E3. I am more of a hobbyist photographer, I have the Nikon D7100 and the X-T2 is over my budget though it would love to go that route.
My main concern at the moment is with raw processing and the fact that I use LR/ACR which by all accounts do not work well with the X series raw files.

who told you it doesn’t work? All the pictures I posted earlier in the thread were processed in Lightroom

You've seen this thread I take it (ignore the bile, just read the first posting). I cannot say about Olympus (smaller sensor though, you'll need good light to match the Nikons) nor Sony but Benjamin Kanarek is someone whose living is selling high quality images to commercial publishers whose need is for very high quality and he plainly has no reservation about trading to Fuji (though he has some reservation about lens choice IIRC).
Apart from smaller and lighter I cannot see you making any gain going to Fuji (or Oly or Sony) from Nikon, but equally I doubt you'll be making any huge loss.
I am considering the same thing.

Great pictures by the way.
Do you have any specific work flow/camera settings?
I am doing my homework regarding the Fuji X system, and there is a consensus of views that Iridient/Capture 1 are better for this system.

Sorry, I got mixed up, this is actually a reply to Shockwave's reply to my earlier posting.

Chips,
Did you post accidently or is that some hidden message suggesting that Nikon produces real photographs whereas Fuji just produces pictures?
This could be a hugely clever troll post....
Or, maybe your post is deeply philosophical requires greater contemplation.....
But if you are asking if you should switch from Canikon to Fuji like we all did. then the answer is a simple yes.
Do you want to know the 43 reasons why you should? There are very few reasons why you should not unless you are a professional sports photographer or shoot only BIF.
But even then, you should have a Fuji kit for all of your personal and travel shooting.

I think historically Lightroom was bad for Fuji files, but over time it's got better so I think a lot of the rumours are old information thats been regurgitated. Iridient is better for foliage (trees in landscapes) but that's really where it ends. I have iridient but I almost never use it, probably because I don't do much landscape.
Other than that, my process is the same as I used for Nikon. Import, apply film simulations automatically with X-LR and edit from there.
I would like to ask you something:Here are a variety of photos, I'm not a pro so I'm pretty sure you could do better. Some are full res, the others may be smaller depending on the size I uploaded to my site
What caused the patterns in the white?

Ok ..... I shouldn’t have said Licenced PhotographerWhat do you find lacking from your nikons? What do you hope to achieve with the fuji? And what the heck is a licensed photographer? lolI hit send before finishing my post

. I was just letting people know I’m not a rookie and needed very good gear for work performed as a business. My current Mikon DX and DX fear doesn’t really la k anything, I’m interested in going lighter and smaller, use more primes, I hear so much good about evf as compared to ovf.--
