Just wait until the new firmware v4 comes out in a week it is said to really improve the AF performance.

I have a brace too...but one is IR.

I was surprised how many lens and body firmware updates I was 'behind'. Spent 1/2hour yesterday getting them all up to date....ready for the XT v4.

Still think the ergonomics and feel in the hand of Nikons is preferable. I am loving the D750.

The Fuji digital viewfinder colour rendition and fidelity is also very poor compared to the Panasonic LUMIX models. Shame!

Iain...have you given up long lens photography now?

These mirrorless cameras are getting interesting. Soneys R7 cameras have caught my eye.

Had the use of an R7S and it had some interesting new features like down loadable Aps that preformed specialized tasks.

Nice thing was if you didn't want them you didn't have to have them.

Adapters are available to use Nikon lenses on these full frame cameras, but without autofocus.

Now there is one in development and if it works, my next big purchase will be a Sony R7xx.

No Eric, I've still got a Canon 100-400mm and a 7D mk2.

I too have held onto my longer lenses for the moment. The D750 was a sop to these lenses...I wanted to offload the D3 but needed a DSLR for the moment, to decide if wildlife is still on my list in retirement.

I like my Fujis...but I am not in love with them. They fall short of a complete package for me....but will watch developments with interest. They really need to speed up auto focus and improve the viewfinder. Take a look at the Panasonic LUMIX viewfinder to appreciate the necessary room for improvement.

I agree, if they could get the focus speed up and the view finder better they might then be close to the full package.
There seems to be a few people that have got their hands on the 4.0 firmware and are saying they see big improvements in focus speed and tracking.
