Fuji makes nice stuff. The size is reasonable if you dont want a DSLR. Their controls are more similar to older cameras. The primary reason I am staying in the M's is I am already invested in it. I dont want to buy a whole other system and start from scratch.

I have two M bodies and three M lenses plus the EF/EFS adapter. I got two of the M lenses, the original M body and the EF/EFS adapter on the original fire sale. If I told you what I paid for them your would be shocked. And it was all new.

I got the M3 body/EVF and 11-22mm for CHEAP. I have about $1200 invested in everything I just mentioned above. No joke.

Did I mention that I am CHEAP .

Cameras are electronic consumable items that depreciate the second you buy them. I dont want to pay top $$ for anything. With Fuji you pay, with Canon not so much. You just have to be smart shopper and strike while the iron is hot.

yes i an a cheap skate too.. i have M1, M2 and  M5  11-22, 22f2  18-55 , 15-45  two gen ef to m adaptors a kipon tilt and shift M42 to M adaptor  the little M flash  spear gen canon batteries all for around £1000 GBP .....it do take a lot of browsing around the bay and waiting.....i only just get the M5 its as new  with the 15-45 +adaptor  and spear canon bat   for £520  i see the 15-45 go for 100+ and the adapter for 80 secondhand and new batteries are 50 new ....so the M5  body could stand me at £290..i will keep the adaptor may sell the 15-45

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
