Good day everyone. I'm a long time Sony shooter (first a6000 as my first real camera, then a6300) and I've changed to a Nikon shooter with now a D850 as my primary body.
I'm looking to replace my a6300 as my sidekick body because I'm annoyed by the miserable white balance, the crappy handling (it's too small, why no touchscreen?, and silly menus even for someone who's used it for years), and the ridculous expense of a non-awful moderate telephoto zoom and a 35 mm-e (23 f/2 from Fuji is $400, 24 f/1.8 from Sony is $1,100!)
I have a pre-order in for a Z6, but the crappy autofocus reports I'm getting for the Z7 has turned me off - I want something that's easy and reliable with AF for photographing people (like my 4 year old running around) and that's smaller and less conspicuous than my D850. I also don't particularly want a FF sidekick body - yes, the Z6 is smaller than the D850 but the lenses aren't any smaller.
Fuji's appealing to me as a single system (yes, perhaps even to replace the D850 someday), but I was unimpressed by the AF of the X-T20 I rented a year ago.
So now that the X-T3 is out, how are people finding the AF for candid shots of people, particularly small kids playing?
