Hard to imagine that you won't be pretty happy with your kit once you bet past the learning curve (and that will take a bit of patience).

I assume you mean moving from Canon to Fuji in function and operation.  It is different to be sure.  I LOVE having the dials on the top of the camera, and the aperture adjustment on the lens.  Those are the number 1 reasons I went to Fuji instead moving to a Canon mirrorless.

There is a learning curve involved, including getting used to in camera stabilization and knowing its limits, but overall you will have a very powerful kit in your hands.

I've never had stabilization in lens or in camera.  I guess I have more searching on these forums and via Google to see what I don't know and need to know about IBIS.

I've been a LR user for many years, and being a certified old guy, I haven't really been inclined to change (did give C1 a run and just didn't bond with it). In spite of some of the noise you'll see in the forum, I think LR does a fine job as long as you are aware of some limitations with respect to rendering some forms of detail (take a look at the Iridient apps to help deal with that). C1 has a great reputation here, and giving it a try makes a lot of sense, and might save you a bit of post processing time as well.

I will definitely look into the Iridient apps.  I've used LR for so long, it's just comfortable and familiar.  I don't go crazy with my PP, so maybe C1 will be an easy thing to learn.  We shall see.

You have an outstanding kit (I might be a bit envious) and we'll look forward to seeing your work on the forum.

Thank you.  I'm excited, and despite having misgivings about spending the cash on this kit, I have zero buyers remorse.
