An old calculator can sum up sales figures. FujiFilm ain't even on the

Who cares about sales figures?

The bottom line is, having a camera which delivers great IQ, and performance
while being enjoyable to use. For me Fujifilm delivers that without the over
the top pricing of Canon, Nikon, and Sony. This is from somebody who has
spent considerable cash on Nikon DSLRs and glass.

I think it's interesting that this topic goes on and on about camera
makes *other* than Olympus. I take it that there aren't many (if any)
Olympus users in this group, so I'll chime in with my 2 cents.

In film cameras, I have 3 makes: Olympus, Leica and Rolleiflex. I was
always drawn to Olympus' superior technology when it came to compact
design (OM-1, very durable, compact and reliable) metering (OM-4 is
unique in this respect), and image quality. Its lenses aren't the best
that I have, but then I have lenses for my Leica and Rollei that each
cost more than a few entire Olympus kits. However, unlike my Zeiss,
Leica and Schneider lenses, the Olympus' delivers consistent contrast
over the range of stops. I realize this implies some compromises, but it
makes it easier to use DOF as the primary variable when framing and
shooting.

In digital cameras, I have Nikon and Olympus. The Olympus is superior in
every way, from the available options to the structure of its menu,
making significant changes easy and fast.

So, it doesn't surprise me in the least that those who are dedicated to
photography find themselves drawn to the Olympus line.

I believe we have one or two regulars in this NG who are Olympus users. The
majority are divided between Nikon and Canon.

As I said earlier, my film cameras are currently a Pentax K1000, and a
Yashica Electro35. I envy your Leica, and Rolleiflex.

In the digital World I was first drawn to Nikon, and when it came time to
move on, Olympus was for me a viable option along with Fujifilm. After
considerable head scratching and making comparisons, I decided on Fujifilm
for many of the same reasons you have stuck with Olympus. I have only been a
Fujifilm user for three years, and I could not be happier with my choice. Had
I decided on Olympus three years ago I have no doubt that I would have been
just as happy.

So, it doesn't surprise me in the least that those who are dedicated to
photography find themselves drawn to the Olympus line.

To be fair, those dedicated to photography find themselves, for different
reasons, drawn to the entire spectrum of great image producing machines
including, but not limited to Olympus, Fujifilm, Nikon, Canon, Leica,
PhaseOne, Panasonic, Sony, Pentax, Hasselblad, and others. It is just that
many of us, pro, or enthusiast have made our choices, and in some cases have
made a considerable investment in cameras, and glass.

No doubt that brand choices are made for various reasons, and some of
the makes are comparable in most ways. I was fortunate, in that all of
my kits paid for themselves through the work that I did with them. In
terms of image quality, I think that lenses make the biggest difference.

In the digital world, I'd say that ease of use is pretty important,
since they're all less efficient than film cameras. So, control
placement, menu structure, and a well thought out user interface are the
most important factors to me.

I've never been a fan of autofocus, finding it more of a compositional
hindrance than a benefit. When combined with a varifocal lens, the
camera becomes pretty useless to me. So, my choices are mostly for the
least frustrating kits!

I have always been an enthusiast/hobbyist, never a pro, and you are correct,
lenses make the biggest difference.

In the digital world, I'd say that ease of use is pretty important,
since they're all less efficient than film cameras. So, control
placement, menu structure, and a well thought out user interface are the

....and that is one of the characteristics of the Fujifilm X-Series that I
find appealing.

hindrance than a benefit. When combined with a varifocal lens, the
camera becomes pretty useless to me. So, my choices are mostly for the

I have several (4) Fujinon primes, and I find that I use MF much more than
with my Nikon DSLRs. The thing which makes MF so easy for me is the Focus
Peaking feature. Currently my most used lenses are the XF16mm f/1.4, and the
XF23mm f/2.0.
