Some very interesting answers here. I brought this up as a result of my investigating possibly purchasing a Fuji X series camera. I have spent a considerable period of time on the Fuji Forum and found it very interesting as an outsider looking in on owners of all three X series bodies.

I started noticing postings from owners of the XPro1 and Xe1 making claims to having dumped their Nikon kits for the Fuji mirror less system. They all seemed to be happy with the decision. Of course, I am sure if one was hasty making this type of move, one would not be so outspoken about the horrible mistake.:-(

Anyway, I had never contemplated making such a move but it got me thinking about having to make a choice between the two systems.

The responses so far are along the the same lines as my own thoughts. Except that Robert and Eric, as usual, have managed to boil them down to well thought out concise points which I like - and wish I could do myself.

As of the present moment, I don't think I could part with my DSLR. Money always being the great leveler of playing fields, tells me I should stay with the DSLR as it checks off more of my needs than the X series. There is nothing "I" can accomplish with the X series that I can't do as well or better with the DSLR.

If money weren't a player ---- well then I wouldn't be asking these stupid questions
:rofl:

I still think it would be lovely to own an X100 to carry around all the time.
