Eric, have you had a look at the new Fuji XT2 specification?
I think that Fuji cameras are getting closer and closer to the AF speed of a D3. I need to check out the XT2 when I get one in my hands at end of Spetember.

Ok Jonathan here's the big question........
Do you think the XT2 with the 100-400 lens matches the D500 with the 70-400 in terms of AF speed and general responsiveness?
Starting from the XT1, I find it hard to believe the XT2 will be such a step change to match the Nikon pairing.
And then there are the Fuji ergonomics and EVF issues to consider.
I miss an OVF...even the hybrid version as on the other Fujis, might be acceptable.
I am struggling to convince myself that the benefits of the lighter, more compact bodies and lenses counter the Fuji shortfalls when compared to a conventional DSLR.
There is a compelling financial argument for Fuji. The body and lens pairings mentioned above would save £700 going the Fuji route.
But cost isn't the key driving factor....performance wins.
