I just recently sold all of my Canon gear and switched to Fuji, I wanted to switch to a lighter setup and I loved the images I was getting out of my X100. So I sold my 5D Mk II, 24L, 70-200 2.8L, 135L, 85 1.8, 50 1.4 and 17-40L. My new Fuji X-T1 setup includes a 14 2.8, 23 1.4, 35 1.4, 18-55 and 55-200. I'm selling my 18-55 and may return or sell the 55-200 and get the 56 1.2 instead.
So far my biggest gripe about the X-T1 is that the AF is not on the same level as the Mk II in some circumstances, not sure if this is due to the lens motors or the camera itself though. At times it can be very frustrating to focus, even more so than the 5D Mk II was. At 100% crop I would say the 5D Mk II has more more detail also. But I can shoot at higher ISOs with the X-T1, I'm sure the 6D would be at least as good though. The build quality is really solid, except for the SD card door, but its not noticeable when its closed. I also really miss the amazing shallow DoF of full frame.
I'm going to stick with the system for a while and see how it goes. Maybe someday I will switch back to a FF Canon, but right now I'm really enjoying the size and weight of this setup. Hopefully Fuji keeps working on its Autofocus issues!...Show more →
You might be able to shoot at a higher ISO with the X-T1, but you may not be getting better exposure (SS, aperture, brightness of exposed image)... I suggest a controlled test. That's my experience with the 5D2 and X-E1; I need to go to the higher ISO on the Fuji to get similar exposure values/output. So 3200 is cleaner, but it's not necessarily an advantage if it's exposing like 1600 on the Canon.
To the OP: The first issue with my Fuji (compared to my 5d2) is AF. Then resolution. The first issue with my 5D2 is the size, then the dynamic range. Both sides are moving together, but they haven't found parity yet. How I lust for an RX1-alike-or-followup with 5D2 centerpoint AF speed/accuracy. Bonus for a non-hump EVF or hybrid VF.
