Awesome camera, Lightweight, amazing photos from it, and you get the Fuji image quality. WIN WIN WIN. If I were going to a DSLR system an lenses, it would be what I would buy. I own two of its baby brothers. the x10 and the X-S1, both of which produce AMAZING photos.

It's an awesome camera system, and I have somehow purchased almost every lens the system offers. I think I have 11 or 12 lenses in total. I just returned from a 20 day trip to South Georgia and Antarctica and the system worked wonderfully. I used a Backrapid camera strap system, with two X-T1 cameras hanging from my sides, and primarily use the 10-24mm and 18-135mm lenses. Superb performance, even when it was snowing or raining. It just wasn't a big deal.

I use the older sibling the X-E1 and it's absolutely amazing. Beautiful colours, proper controls, good lenses, no mirror-box so you can adapt just about any brand of lens to the camera (I use quite a bit of Leica M lenses).

I have only minor gripes with it, the odd sensor design means that 100% crops of RAW's processed with Adobe Camera Raw get this swishy painterly effect, however JPG's and images processed in Camera One look fine. Most people don't think it's a problem, or like it. I'm just really picky about that sort of micro-detail (read: an idiot).

The great thing about a Fuji kit, especially for long distance travel is that you don't need to carry a metric tonne of equipment with you. You can pack a baby little pack with your gear in it and keep it up the front of your truck - hell, keep the camera slung around your neck, and have it ready to go the moment you see something. My biggest problem especially with road fatigue is that I get to a rest stop with an amazing view, and then I'm that tired and burnt out I can't be bothered getting the 'big kit' from the truck to shoot with.

Most of my photography on my website linked below for the last year or two were all shot on a fuji so if you want to see what sort of results they produce feel free to have a gander.

I love the fact that the Fuji's I have do not have interchangeable lenses. They take amazing photos and no lugging around anything extra.
