Unfortunately I'm afraid I've hit a patch of not taking many photos recently, I need to get out of this rut before I'd buy again.

I agree with Rich but for action photography I still think the Nikon and Canon cameras are head and shoulders ahead of the Fuji XT1 that I have. The Fuji is the equal of Nikon when used in the studio or for landscapes and portraits. There are differences between the cameras that are advantageous to some but not others.

Several years ago I was thinking of going to Canon but I found I was not smart enough to operate them, so I went with Nikon at least I can fake my way with them they don't require as many little very cells on my part LOL Ed

I think you got that back to front Ed! The smart guy is the one who goes for the simplest easiest method of achieving his goal. I don't rate the guy who takes the toughest route. When I was an apprentice builder I quite often faced a dilemma of which method to use to achieve the task I had been set. Sometimes I would ask my boss which of the options would be best, invariably he would say the easiest, simplest and quickest that gets the job done satisfactorily.

In just the same way that high pixel density bodies like the D800 need extra care to realise their potential, the Fuji needs that little bit of care too. It's small and less ergonomically designed for hand holding than Nikon bodies. Combined with its lighter weight, I feel these facts work against maximising it's quality. The weight of a D3 acts as a damper. You simply don't move as much. The D3's lesser pixel density further ease the effort required to take a sharp handheld shot. The Lightweight Grail we seek may in fact be a poisoned chalice ...in that we merely exchange the effort of toting bulky equipment for something that needs more effort in standing still. I've been pleased with many of the shots I have taken with the Fuji. But I seriously think it's had a negative impact on my desire to take photographs. As I posted some weeks ago...I do feel stepping down in format has a subliminal impact on ones attitude towards serious photography. Sorry if that sounds weird and a bit depressingly negative. I mention this because you talk of a photographers block or perhaps life has taken priority over a hobby. Trying to come to terms with stopping professional photography I had hoped holiday snapping would fill the void. But it hasn't. There is no doubt that a project (self imposed or commissioned) puts the seriousness back into my photography. Without something to push against (something that pushes back!) most tasks will suffer the doldrums. I will stop waffling and see what images have followed me back from France. Lol

OH OH He's back! I have a question that is bugging me, probably because I have way too much free time, and must remain quiet so as not to disturb the bosses both human and feline. I have been using my time watching tutorials and reviews and a question comes to a feeble mind. WE have two cameras, a DX with 24mp and an FX with 12mp it is easy for one to think that 24mp is far superior, but is this truly the case. It is my understanding that in order to get all of those 24mp on the small DX sensor they need to be small (read tiny) and that the 12 mp on the FX sensor are much larger, therefor able to catch more light and also more information per each. If this is true then is that 24mp really that much better and is it something that a average dummy with aging eyes (read me) will be able to see? I realize that some of the above is hype to sell new cameras, and that is ok but is it really worthwhile to spend $500. t0 $2000. dollars for what may be a small difference.   Ed

I think that a 24MP sensor is ideal, wheter FX or DX as it gives a bit more fine detail for editing/cropping. However if you frame accurately then 12MP is enough unless you need fine grained images printed large 50"x40" prints or more. I would say on the physical side that a FX is bulkier and heavier than a DX body. On the same theme FX lenses are like for like heavier than DX lenses and also Nikon has a better selection of FX lenses than DX ones. So all in all I think the FX market is better served by Nikon, this is reinforced when you look at the body releases. All the professional bodies are FX and the amateur/consumer grade ones are DX. This FX/DX debate is a real issue as sports and wildlife photographers need long telephotos to get frame filling shots. Obviously a 300mm is fine if the subject is close by when using a FX camera but having a DX camera with the same 300mm lens fitted provides an image that is larger due to the x1.5 magnification factor of the lens on a smaller sensor area. It is a question of more or larger heavier kit to provide the same image size on the sensor. Depending on your needs the experience varies.
