"Surely the key to Jeff's 4/3 success is the 2x multiplication factor enabling greater frame filling ...and Jeff's innate skill!
Without the onboard multiplication factor we would have to resort to post process cropping and DX images don't crop as well as FX."
Exactly.
But you have the technical skills in Photoshop and camera so it balances out but then there is the local knowledge and fieldcraft. If you practice daily then you gain those skills maybe not at teh same level but. No gain without pain/cold/perspiration....
As I have said before the cameras are usually way better than the operator (speaking personally!).
If it fits well in your hands and the controls work for you then it is a good camera for you. I love the control layout of the XT3 so I have no intention of changing at present. The new Fuji X-S10 is more Sony like but I dont like the control layout but could live with it but it is not as intuitive to me as the XT3. I would say to you that the Nikon 500mm f4 PF will sit very nicely on a Z7 or Z6 with the FTZ adapter and you wont notice any difference except you are then mirrorless. I know you didnt like the EVF of the Fuji but maybe the Z7/Z6 EVF suits you better.
My main issue with having Fuji and Nikon is I would prefer to have only one camera system with a set of lenses that worked across all the cameras. The Fringer adapter gives me this as I can use modern AFS Nikon lenses on the Fuji. I dont need the reverse as I have enough Nikon kit.
This is one reason why if I was thinking of Sony I would also look at Canon as well. They it would all be a question of why not get rid of all and go to a single make.
I certainly wont be getting a 8x10" in order to try to produce Ansel Adams photos!
