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
Nothing wrong with being cheap. It saves you a ton of money.
I am getting ready to sell off most of my DSLR stuff. I am going to consolidate down to one system - the M and call it day.
If Canon kills off the M, so what. It will continue to work for years. If they kill off the M and dont make a small RF I will just take my business elsewhere. Not a big deal.
