Can’t tell you whether the Zfc is a mistake or not, but as to the current Fuji’s, the sensor is absolutely the best APS-C chip out at the moment, so dynamic range is excellent. AF is very good, though not up to the standards set by Sony and Canon in their full frame cameras. Still, it’s quite good, especially with linear focus motor lenses.

The biggest differentiator is likely Fuji’s commitment to the format. They don’t have a full frame camera, so they put a lot of R&D into crop factor lenses. Take a look at the lens offerings for Fuji vs Nikon for APS-C.

I agree with this, I was a longtime Nikon guy but switched to Fuji primarily for the lenses, specifically the small f/2 primes to use with an X-T4.

Oh yea, as of now the Z DX lenses only have 2. This is probably another reason i guess why im feeling like i made a mistake going for Nikon Z FC. Anyways, i already ordered a return order. I might just have to wait what fuji will do with its new stacked sensor. If that time comes, surely XE4 will be more affordable.

I wouldn’t expect the release of the stacked sensor to have any effect on the price of the X-E4. The primary advantage to the stacked sensor will be readout speed, though it may have a higher megapixel count as well. That means it will be targeted for a future X-H2 and an eventual X-T5, but I wouldn’t expect it to make it into anything else for at least a couple years. Honestly, while the advantages of a stacked sensor are real, they mostly won’t be relevant for X-E4 shooters.
