Those are my issues with the Fuji system.
I wont be selling any Nikon stuff until I have thoroughly tested the XT1 if I buy it. I wont sell the Nikons until the Fuji proves itself in my hands. That means that first of all I have to convince myself that it focuses fast enough to compete with the D3. If that happens then I buy, then I test it and if I am convinced then I either sell the D3 or/and D3S or if it is not up to scratch then the XPro1 will go.
Surely this is horses for courses?
I can't see the Fuji competing with a D* body in speed situations. People already complain about the rest of the Nikon range being too 'slow'. So I don't see the Fuji stepping up for fast moving applications. But that's ok, as the majority of my general shooting is more pedestrian situations.
I could see me getting rid of my D7000 and all my 'consumer' lenses, if the new Fuji was a worthy replacement for the XE1.
But I would hang onto the fast glass...and then need a Nikon body. For me that is the D400...provided it ever comes, and when it does it's a proper D300 replacement in terms of performance. But in the meantime the D3 is an adequate stand in.
