I have no axe to grind in this war as I remain an APS-C shooter with no
plans to go FF. It is just interesting to see the development, and the hype Nikon
is using to come into the FF MILC market.

Large and medium format will always have its users, just a declining
number. Like you, I reckon APS-C now does what once needed FF. It even
does broadcast quality video. I've been at a couple of (outside) events
recently where BBC reporters were just using iPhones for radio interviews.

With APS-C I am curious to see what Fujifilm will bring when they announce
the X-T3 with its new sensor, and some feature changes from the X-T2, and
X-H1.

Currently my Fujifilm APS-C cameras and glass, along with my very idle these
days D300S, and Nikkor glass meets my non-pro needs.

For me a move to FF MILC, or even DSLR with Nikon would mean a whole new
investment in FX glass as the Nikkor glass I have now is all DX with three
exceptions. So If I was going to go larger than APS-C I would probably just
skip FF and go to MF with the soon to be announced Fujifilm GFX-50R which is
going to be at about the same $2,000 price point as the new Nikon Z6, and
deal with that new glass. However, I don’t see that happening unless I have
some unexpected cash windfall.

Fair point, MF is going to fall in price sort of in line with Moore's
law. It's the cost of all those kilograms of glass which bothers me! Not
to mention the weight (as a non-studio photographer).
