Sharp, but too bulky and heavy

Serious question, would you make the same point if he said he was fine with the size and weight, making sure we all knew the size and weight were fine FOR HIM?
Fuji does not need their products defended at every turn by loyalists. They will do fine on their own.

And btw, your opinions you shared are only really only applicable to YOU.

I completely agree with you.

I think the mods and others have said directly or indirectly that they at least acknowledge that it’s implied our posts are our opinions and it would be more productive to move on to other topics. Pointing it out over and over doesn’t make people feel good or produce productive information. Just spelling it out because nuance may be lost over the internet, English isn’t everyone’s native language, people may just be skimming posts, or whatever.

For me, I got rid of the 16-55 because it was past a threshold where it would fit into a compact bag, and at that point the size and weight difference with a full frame didn’t seem material. I also don’t know the right way to describe this but at 16mm there was far more distortion than the 16mm f1.4.

That being said, I love the new XS10. I can use the 18-55 for high aperture and get ibis on the 1.4 primes for bokeh. Having lost a camera to a rain storm and discovering WR just means some rubber trim on latches, I will take the more compact non-WR bodies and lenses.
