Re: Anyone moved from M4/3 to Fujifilm X series?

m43 wins

  • Size and weight
  • Lens choice is pretty vast at this point.
  • IBIS is just better (for me. maybe the smaller and lighter cameras/lenses means I'm more stable with it.) but that's a mostly om systems thing.
  • OOC jpegs are just better. Oly's colors are better. Panasonics remind me of Canons (also a good thing).

Fuji wins:

  • Bigger and better sensor.
  • Better noise
  • Better controls.
  • Sickos like the film profiles of fuji.

Wash:

  • Lens quality is about the same.
  • Build seems pretty good on both although I've only ever broken an olympus body and lens.

Hi everyone,

I'm considering selling my Panasonic G9 and GX9 (and several lenses) and buying an X-S10 and the Fujifilm 16-80 f4 initially, perhaps followed by a longer zoom. One advantage of the X-S10 over the G9 is its significantly smaller size and lower weight, although that may be countered by Fujifilm's larger and heavier lenses (for FF equivalent). This might be a major factor as I have arthritis which is becoming more of an issue for my photography.

I've read several expert reviews and comparisons but would very much appreciate feedback from real world users of Fujifilm X series cameras (especially the X-S10) who have also used M4/3 (especially the G9 and GX9).

In particular I'd appreciate comments about OOC jpegs, image stabilisation, ISO performance and handling (the grip on the X-S10 looks very comfortable and similar to the one on my G9).

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Brian
