I've owned both. I sold the X-T5 due to autofocus issues and picked up the ZF. I have no real issue stating the ZF is superior in every way except size/weight, regardless of the X-T5 getting it's autofocus fixed. That being said, the size and weight difference in use is pretty significant. It's visi

I use both systems extensively. I switch between xt5, z8, xt20, xt 30, etc. If you're not a jpeg soc shooter, it's a significant improvement using Nikon. Full frame files from my z8 beat my xt5 images, despite the small difference in megapixels. I'm not sure what raw editor you use, but Lightroom ne

I don't understand what you're asking. Fujifilm has their own look, in some cases a different sensor filter array, and their own models and user interfaces and form factors and lens portfolio. Nikon has their own look, models, user interfaces and form factors and lens portfolio. You use the camera t

I moved from GFX as well. Files were great but even the GFX 100 II the autofocus wasn’t great. The other thing that bugged me was the 200mb raw file size. Constantly filling up cards and hard drives. Didn’t mind the lens selection but hated the native lens prices. $2.3k for a 55/1.7 is ridiculous. I

I have the XT5 and tried my brother's Zf for a bit. Image quality and pixel peeping, I actually found the XT5 sharper which was very important to me since I'm a pixel peeper. Maybe because I wasn't using it right or because I wasn't using one of the S lenses. I remember before my brother using his N

The Z50II is a better camera than the D500 in nearly every way and has much better autofocus. Anyone telling you different either has not used them both, or is trying to justify their D500. Nothing wrong with using D500, it's still a great camera, but technology marches on. The Z50II is also complet

I've used the 3 major systems (Canon, Sony, Nikon), and I don't regret sticking with Nikon. From a general perspective - I think most newer FF bodies have pretty great AF performance. Can't speak from a video standpoint but from a stills POV - I've never struggled in any situation with any system as

Not your OP but I also transitioned from Fuji to a Nikon Zf. With native Z mount lenses, the AF is leagues better than my X-E4, decisively focussing in situations where the Fuji wouldn't and focussing faster in situations where the Fuji would. Full frame is a lot larger image area than aps-c, it's a

The real question is which one would you actually take with you most often? You’re somewhat comparing apples and oranges. The XE5 is intended as a “lifestyle” camera for creators that want interchangeable lenses versus the X100’s fixed lens. Yes, it’s a serious imaging tool too, but its design is ce

I jumped from Fuji to Nikon about a year ago after shooting Fuji since the X-T2 was new. Some of it was due to dissatisfaction with the direction Fujifilm were taking, I didn’t enjoy the X-T5 as much as the XT-2 I’d upgraded from (I’d ran the T-2 into the ground) and realised I could get a full fram
