Some thoughts about EOS M, EOS R and Fuji

Have you ever used the X-T3 or other Fuji cameras? What did you like/dislike in comparison to the M5 or other EOS M cameras?

I had Fuji XE1 for something like 3.5 year. lovely camera, and 18-55 and 35/2 were excellent optics to use.

but...

this being a small camera seemed excellent for travelling. but only seemed until I realized I actually like having UWA lens and only option in Fuji is very expensive XF 10-24.

The Fuji 14mm f2.8 is a nice wide angle complement to he 18-55mm f2.8-4.  The 14mm lens is much smaller and cheaper than the 10-24mm zoom.  Also, the 14mm shares the same hood and filter size with the 18-55mm lens.

at the price of this lens alone I could buy 750D with 18-55 STM kit and 10-18 STM. with both being respectable zooms (not Fuji XF quality, sure, but good enough for me when travelling)

You can now put the 10-18mm lens on an adapter and get full AF and IS on a Fuji body.  The most capable adapter is $300 and also includes an aperture ring similar to the new Canon RF mount adapters.

and the camera having full compatibility with my EF lenses, which made it great secondary camera for my backpack. and I ended up with 750D, 10-18, 18-55 and 55-250, and later with 35/2 IS with actually zero remorse. Fuji was a lovely camera, but it wasn't optimal for me as secondary system.

at this point I'm thinking of swapping the Rebel to with M5 with EF/EFM adapter and the EFM 35/1.4. going back to Fuji... not really. I would love to have XT1 with basic set of primes, but can't afford to have two secondary cameras and lens sets
