Yes the GFX is making some great images if you look on the various GFX boards but for an amateur it is a very expensive camera. For the professional doing weddings, fashion and high end shoots it will soon pay for itself.

Breaking 50 years of shooting habits may be an uphill struggle. But having sold all my Nikon gear ( except one lens and a flashgun) I have nothing to distract me.

Well Jonathan's enthusiasm for the XT2 has fired my interest and I have stripped myself off the ability to think Nikon ...for now. I suspect its going to be a Jedi Knight moment. With Obi Jon Athan instructing me to 'let go and feel the power of the Fuji Force', for some time. The XT2 is a great camera and from some of the results I've seen, capable of the highest quality and performance in sport and wildlife. I just haven't mastered this myself yet. But I will persevere. Having just had my wallet stolen in France I have no credit cards to buy anything else anyway!!! Just scraped up enough euros to fuel the car to get us back to Calais and home on Monday...we hope!!! Although with the way UK politics is disintegrating, we may start looking for a place over here!

Sounds like you are having a testing time in France. Hope that you get home safely. If you want help with the Fuji then I can provide it. Just message or email me. I can truly say that the quality from the D800 is matched by the results from the XT2. I havent done an identical sample shoot but where I use them together I eventually end up using the Fuji in preference. For BIF then the D500 is unbeatable as the speed of AF is exceptional.

I often focus and recompose without any issues. But then I don't shoot many moving subjects, but then I wouldn't use that technique on moving subjects either... One of the reasons I went for Nikon over Canon was that you could move from one body to another without having to work out where all the darned controls had been moved to. I went from the D200-D700-D3-D3200-D7200 without any big issues, although I did notice the D3200 and D7200 had moved stuff about more than I expected. What did for me was the weight and lenses. I have found new Nikon lenses repeatedly disappointing for the last 6-7years, but the AF on the older ones wasn't cutting it with the newer bodies. I didn't even like the 24-70/2.8 which everyone else seemed to think was the dogs wotsits. I much prefer the output of the Fuji, and the glass, but if I was shooting a lot of wildlife then I actually think I would go down the Canon route now (:-0)

Mind you, I notice Chris Weston has moved from Nikon to Fuji so it can't be that bad for wildlife
