Why Fuji and not the other guys

A shout out to all your comments and suggestions on my video where I ask your suggestions as to my photographic move from Canon to Fuji. It is much appreciated

I have, as of late, been toddling around with the idea of getting a Fujifilm camera. Their approach to photography is one that I personally share to a great extent. This post is a lot about why I think that this move will enhance my personal workflow. Now here are the primary reasons why I decided to make this purchase.

Price (Fuji summer deal that is super attractive)

The reasoning here is simple. The latest price on the Fuji XT-2 is quite amazing. I took advantage of the deal where they offer the camera, a fantastic kit 18-55 2.8-4 kit lens and the battery grip for $2400 Canadian (roughly 1851$). Therefore, it would be foolish of me to to say that price wasn't a factor. But it is a truly aggressive price.

I love the Fuji philosophy

I am from the old school of photography. You might want to call it me longing for the good old days but I like the idea that the camera has external dials and an overall old school approach to taking photos. It is how I learned to take photos and how I feel at ease taking photos.

Hearsay (The word is out Fuji kicks ass!)

Yup! What I have heard in internet land and what many people are saying about the general impressions of this camera all around. It is only good. Now, you all know as well as I, that sometimes people tend to want to reinforce their purchase so when they speak of how amazing a camera is it could be just a bunch of rationalization.

Short flange distance on an APS-C camera

This reason weighs heavily in the balance. Due to my increasing collection of vintage lenses, I really want to take advantage of that glass and do not like using my Canon DSLRs to do this. Because of the relatively similar flange distances of Canons to other brands of cameras, adapting to the Canon platform is not easy. Therefore, I am sort of restricted to getting a mirrorless interchangeable system to get to use the vintage lenses I have. I have ruled out Panasonic. Although, I generally like the company, they slap all of their tech on a four thirds system. Arguments are strong for the capabilities of this system but I do not believe in them. I have ruled out Sony because I truly cannot stand their menu system and think that they have a crap load of overheating issues to still resolve before they can ever be considered.

Fuji's existing lens offerings are reasonably priced and of excellent quality

I think that the offerings that Fuji do give are quite attractive. Although nothing like Nikon and Canon, what they do offer is great. I have never been a fan of kit lenses but, for now, I will be using this camera with the kit lens and be buying the

I will, all of a sudden, have a great old school digital camera with all the bells and whistles of the new world mixed in with the fun and attractiveness of the old
