The Fuji CF 100-400mm f4-5.6 is due March 2016. It is larger than the 50-200 but is smaller than the 55-140mm f2.8 lens. Price? For me if the XT1 firmware update works well and makes the AF speed improve to DSLR standards then I will get another XT1 and the 100-400mm.

If, as you say, they can get Nikon DSLR AF performance from the Fuji XT, then I may start using it for faster shooting situations....and then who knows where that would lead? I certainly won't be buying an 80-400 Nikkor, until we know the firmware result. So I will potentially have to lug my 500mm around till next year.

I think you guys are chasing a rainbow trying to get the fuji's to replace the nikon gear. What fuji brought to the party is SMALL and light. As in the X100t, the xe-2 and to some degree the xp1. Using the xt-1 with a long lens is like using a D40 with a long lens...it will work but if you have a D3 why would you pull out the D40? If you have a 400mm lens, you need a tripod...if you have a tripod with you why not use a D800? Don't get me wrong...I think the IQ from fuji is top drawer but it doesn't have to match Nikon in every category to be the coolest thing in my drawer (or pocket). Just my thought on it... Waiting for the xt1 firmware, too...but the minute there is an xp2, I sell the dslr junior and stick with the RF form factor for fuji  Tom

I think that you are probably right Tom. But I find it a useful way to keep me from buying new kit if I have specific criteria that I impose for 'extending' my kit collection. At present I dont see big difference between images from a Fuji XT1/XE2 and the Nikon D3. I can detect some differences with the D600 and D800. If Fuji went to 24MP then this may diminish the difference with the D600 and leave only the D800 as king of the pack. Lens wise it is more difficult as AF is specific to lens make/camera combo. So buying new lenses for the Fujis is easy. Here I am trying to make myself only buy Fuji, if I sell the Nikon equivalent or I must have AF for the work with the Fuji camera.

I have just bought a D750 specifically to enable me to carry on using my long lens (after selling my D3 and D7000)....whilst still adding to my Fuji lenses. I still feel it's horses for courses for the reasons you suggest. But I am keeping a watching brief on Fuji and an open mind as to whether Fuji developments and a honing down of my photographic needs will draw close enough together, to abandon DSLRs. I still believe Fuji bodies are let down by 2 things....their poorer speed of response and the disappointing quality of their digital viewfinders when compared to Nikon AF and Panasonic viewfinders.

Well, tomorrow night we get to see the Fuji response to these complaints, Eric... New firmware for xt-1 (probably trickle down to other models in near future...it will have some improvements and some totally new focus features ...just amazing that fuji does this rather than issue a new model to try to pry more money out of users...just amazing. here is a video from the "fuji guys" about the updates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmKuYlP56hc&list=TLqnZNGQ4Y2Ms

Been comparing the D810 v D750. Got to say that the D810 some desirable features but the D750 has them as well, also the D750 is lighter. Only downside may be the lack of the 10 pin accessory interface socket. Not worried by 24MP v 36MP. Choosing between D750 and D810 would be difficult.
