8/30/2023 0 Comments Fuji full frame 2016Subjectively, in photographic club competitions I have won more “firsts” this season with Fuji than I used to do with Canon - and this includes printing up to A3 size. In my view, this is due to the larger Fuji 24mp sensor aided by the absence of a low pass filter and presumably, the advances in image processing engines in recent years. Secondly, and rather surprising for me, Fuji image quality is superior to that from the Canon 5D Mk2 and 6D MkI with my Canon L lenses. This weight differential is reflected across the range of cameras and lenses. For camera bodies the difference is between my X-T2 at 507g and the Canon 6D Mk 2 at 765g. Just to give two examples of comparable lens weights: the Fuji f/2.8 50-140mm tips the scales at 995g against the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 at 1490g the weight of the Fuji 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 is 1373g against the Canon 100-400 at 1640g. Since I often carry two cameras, this is a major benefit. The most obvious change is that the weight of camera bodies and most lenses is substantially lighter than their DSLR equivalents. So what do I like about Fuji and how does the system compare with my previous DSLR life? I also have both the 1.4 and 2.0 tele-converters for added reach on both these lenses. My lenses now comprise three primes, the XF 16mm f/1.4R WR, the XF 23mm f/1.4R and the XF 56mm f/1.2R, and two tele zooms, the XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR and the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR. Walkway: The odd one out, but would you notice? - one of my last shots with the Canon 6D and 70-200 f/2.8 before selling up and moving over to Fuji ![]() ![]() In later 2017, I sold the X-T10 to replace it with the 24MP X-T20. I soon realised that I was having more fun with my photography than ever before. Using the diminutive 16 MP X-T10 as my sole camera, while awaiting the launch of the 24 MP X-T2, was an illuminating experience. I sold my Canon gear (5D Mk2 and 6D) to purchase the Fuji X-T10 in January 2016, followed by the acquisition of the X-T2 in September 2016. This is the story of what happened and why. It is now two years since I moved over from my heavyweight DSLR system to the (relatively) lightweight delights of Fujifilm.
