@S_Connor - Exactly!

Beautiful animal photos.

"Fuji 16mm f/4 is equivalent to 24mm f/5,6" - Well ... F6.1 actually (F4 times 1.532x crop).

"the Fujinon 14mm F2.8" is equivalent to 21F4.3.
"good optical performance" - When stopped down, yes....

21F3.5 would be my guess. I could live with something like that on FF, if the price is right.
F4? Only if it beats the zoom in both price and performance.
"A new flagship APS-C DSLR"? - god NO!

It should have been a mirrorless 645M :)

Fantastic images!
Real winners.

"MFT lens seems sharper" - I really doubt that.

"refocusing my crop gear on mobility/versatility and focus on quality on my FF gear"
- See, that's where we have different opinions. For me, the nicer crop optics are not smaller than the...

"why should it be f2.8 if you don't need the extra stop?"
- You don't have to follow the herd :). F4 is fine. F5.6 is fine. F6.3 is fine. 24mp is fine. 50mp is fine. 60mp is fine. 102mp is fine....

"24mp will cost less (assuming it's same gen/tech), have better ISO performance"
- The 42mp A7RII is only $1400 now. Only $500 more than the 24mp A7II and $600 less than the 24mp A7III.
Better ISO...

Yes, it seems like things (protocols, backward-compatibility) are in transition now. In the end it might not be called ePCIe. It could be a unified version of Thunderbolt or a glorified USB-C....

"Type 5DsR soft corners in Google, you'll have plenty to read"
- Thanks, but I don't read ignorant nonsense. Those people are comparing things wrong and they don't know what they are talking about....

Modern cameras are actually charging their batteries while plugged with USB cable. I'm not a fan of built-in readers. They tend to be rather cheap (in terms of quality) and unreliable, sometimes...

"whether corners are sharper on a 50mp FF sensor compared to a 20mp FF sensor"
- Yes, they are. And it's not a matter of opinion.

"I didn't shoot 1/5s is because it was harder to get a sharp shot...

Nice. Now we need camera companies to start putting microSD slots into their cameras. One card slot ... Two card slots ... Why not 3 or 4 card slots? A CFexpress slot + 3 or more microSD slots...

"that's like asking street photographer why they bother shooting complete strangers"
- You shoot complete strangers in the dark at 1/5sec? You are weird.

"the issue is corners when the lens is wide open"
- The issue is that an equivalent 25F0.9 wide open on MFT would be terribly soft even in the middle. And 50F1.8 at F4 on FF is like 25F2 on MFT. No...

Are they trying to make the overpriced CFexpress reader look good? Like this "slow" $30 SD reader should make the $130 CFexpress reader a good deal :). While we can get a nice 64GB UHS-II (or 128GB...

"I also already explained and backed up with figures"
- You didn't. You are just making stuff up.

"no sense in putting an average lens on a 40-50mp camera"
- What's an average lens? My 50F1.8...

"lens can perform worse with more resolution/density" - That is total BS. Higher resolution sensors just squeeze more data out of the same lens, with a lesser efficiency on each step. The lenses...
