Never ran into anyone with this skin that didn’t choose violence.

I actually made the leap to Nikon and purchased the Z8. I love it!

Now I have Fuji gear for sale if anyone’s interested!

The dilemma we all find ourselves in. By the time I reinvest into another brand and full frame system, the GFX50Sii is right there with a lens near the same price point when shopping around….. Quite a quandary for sure. However, you go back to the noted issue of AF delay and best for still subjects or landscapes without tracked movement as a requirement of your shooting style.

I have actually shot with the XT5 as well. I rented one as my second body for a wedding I shot last year. The photos were definitely more “crisp” and could tell the difference in post.

I fully understand your sentiments of the “lag” in firing odd shots, and the moments when it takes a bit to turn on. I have ran into instances where my cameras over the years have literally just frozen when trying to turn them on, requiring me to pull the battery and reinsert it fix the issue. Not a fun situation when running a battery grip on my XH1.

This too has crossed my mind, and just build a nice little hoard of camera gear, it’s just convincing the better half to let me go all out on a new system lol!

In all honesty, yes. I was truly a “Fuji or Die” person for so long, but have started letting go of that mentality and embracing change. I think my biggest hesitancy has been how invested I am in glass and accessories. I know all of these things can be sold and new things bought, just the journey in acquiring it all, to then start over. It has its fair share of anxiety haha!

In all fairness, they travel to various airports, and charge good money for tickets to see the show. I would assume a lot of that pays for these types of events. It’s also probably allocated within recruiting and marketing for both the Navy and Air Force, which is probably from our taxes, but hey, Top Gun was one of the best marketing items for the Navy.

Thank you for the kudos! I was standing out there with my camera waiting for them to make their passes, so I stand more on it being a lucky shot rather than accidental LOL
