This young blackbird was 150 feet away from me and the photo has been heavily cropped despite effective focal length c. 800mm. 1/1000s @ F11....6400ISO Really impressed with lack of noise on this sensor. Attachment: _DSF2115.JPG (Downloaded 9 times)

I found the results from the Fuji's were outstanding. I was continually annoyed by the restriction of having to use Fuji lenses and no third party options. They are also expensive and often very heavy, completely negating the weight reduction of moving from Nikon. I found myself not using my Fuji very often because carrying it with my continuing neck problems became a real issue. I found myself choosing between the Nikon P900 and the Fuji, and taking the Nikon unless I specifically wanted to shoot something with a view to large printing or selling. I have now sold my Fuji XT2 on, and gone over the Olympus

It's true that when you step outside the basic short range lenses, the weight of the Fuji lenses increases significantly ...and there is an element of disappointment in that , for a supposed light weight system. That said, my XT2 with 100-400 lens is still almost 500g lighter than the Nikon D500 with 80-400 lens. I hope to come to terms with this ' less than lightweight' combination as I will be carting it to specific photography locations rather then wandering around all day with it. Of course, remove the long lens and fit a short range prime or zoom and it regains some of its desireability for walking round town. My biggest gripe with the Fuji remains battery life. Whilst all mirrorless bodies come with the EVF battery drain penalty...the Fuji seems to be disproportionately hungry. Some if this is down to the boost option....which is supposed to overcome some of the mirrorless cameras tardiness in response time. To me, it seems to be too draining and little response gain.
