Differences between Fujifilm and others (Sony, Canon, Nikon)

i have been using Sony since the A7R was introduced. I am now using the A7RIII and the A7R IV.
The A7RIII is probably my favorite camera of all time, but slow sensor readout and questionable weather sealing made me look elsewhere.

I purchased the X-H1 in 2019. I loved the colors right out of the camera. Fujifilm got the film simulations right. But the cost and the logistics of working with 2 camera systems was getting challenging and I reluctantly sold my Fujifilm system 3 months ago.

I just realized 3 weeks ago that my favorite pictures and colors came out of my long gone Fujifilm system.

This made me look at Fujifilm’s latest offering and realized that the X-H2S is the dream camera I was looking for all this time. With a stacked sensor, reasonable resolution and weather sealed body.

So, I now have the X-H2S with a 23mm 1.4 WR and a 56mm 1.2 WR. 
I am not sold on the perceived advantages of full frame sensors. I tend to try to get my exposure right to begin with. Even if I want to lift shadows or highlights, I don’t need to push it too far.

I am actually in the process of selling a bunch of my full frame lenses and deciding on X plus GFX system. I am looking at the GFX100S as my landscape/portrait system, but haven’t made up my mind as yet.
This is not a Sony vs Fujifilm as I have been using Sony from 2014. I think Sony is great. It’s just my personal preferences have changed after all these years. 
The X-H2S is a game changer for me.
