I think over time we become lazy or less accepting to the notion of carrying large amounts of heavy equipment that allows us to capture that perfect picture or moment. Either we decide to accept a lesser quality or a compromised shot or we carry on lugging the heavy kit around until it is too heavy to do any more. I definite feel more at ease taking images with my Nikon kit but it heavier weight drives me to use the Fuji stuff more and more. If I am shooting a must capture event or picture then I will reach for the Nikon know I will have captured it in one or two shots. The same can be true with the Fuji kit but as yet it is still not second nature for me. But I do prefer its smaller size and reduced weight.

In my case, photography has sadly lost a little of its charm. When it becomes a chore, you notice a little more, the inumberance of lugging around something unnecessary. It's not a physical strength thing, it's a "is this really necessary" feeling. Your comment on the Fuji is well made. The main players have evolved an ergonomic design in their camera bodies which, having grown with it, we find instinctive in use. I find the Fuji isn't quite in that league or maybe, the frequency of my using it has been insufficient to feel 100% at home with it? For that reason, despite its greater portability and almost unnoticeable presence on the shoulder, I find myself loathed to part with the more familiar Nikon gear. The D750 to me, is more comfortable in the hand than the Fuji. But the lens size and weight tip the balance...literally. I suspect the answer is to revive my enthusiasm for photography and then the equipment feel won't matter so much. Back to the new bathroom installation!

I agree Eric. Just been supervising the builders here for the last three weeks, only one more week and it should be finished.

I think we all get distracted by other 'more important' events in our lives. I feel that my photography is somewhat at a standstill at times but then I find a new project or idea to photograph and enjoy. I actually think that I need to belong to a collective or commune and be forced to sell my stuff to make me more productive. I wish there were more farmers markets, artists shops, etc, here in Spain where I could go meet other people and artists and chat, learn and stimulate myself for new projects.

I agree for the most part. I'm finding I only use the D3 or D800 with really long lenses, in studio setting or when I'm already lugging a tripod. Like JK, my familiarity with them is now a matter of muscle memory - one of the great things that Nikon has done over the years was to make it simple to move from one Nikon to another and not lose your way (Fuji needs to learn this). I've taken a little more to the X-T1 but still think the ideal form factor is the X-pro and I'm really waiting for the xp2 in a big way. My most used camera by far in the last couple of months is the x100T, which I consider to be the all time street camera. tom

We, or at least I, have been talking about minimising weight and considering dumping my pro zooms for primes... for a better balanced D750 in the hand. Now here's the rub.... The X100T weighs 445g delivering a fixed 35mm focal lens equivalent. A 35mm Nikkor lens ALONE weighs 305g before adding the 700g body! So if one were striving for minimum weight then multiple fixed body cameras like the X100T but with different focal length lenses, could be another option.  I am curious as to why you consider the Xpro ideal, Tom. In what way does it trump the XT? I missed getting the XPro ( I did hold one but felt it more awkward in the hand than the XT) and wonder what it does better?

I agree that whilst the others work well that the 'feel' of the X-Pro1 seems to be best.
