Hi Andrew,
no, not in that combination. Occasionally I thought about getting a CX to travel light(er), but not in combination with 70-300. I read a lot of good things about from you, tord### (forgot the number) and on other forums, but I lean towards Fuji because those better fit into my hands. I always find the little Sonys, Olympus', Nikon 1s feel like doll cameras in my hands (no offense to the happy owners ^_^ ). I don't think I'd use it as a portrait lens (70 × 2.6 = 182 mm equiv., usually I prefer 85 or 105 mm).
810 mm fov and 1:3? you meant 81 mm? The bees are great and very sharp, too. As I recall, you're not wearing glasses? I do and I also do have problems changing my eye's focus to very close (age...) and don't want bifocal glasses right now. So, there's a limit how tiny the symbols on the wheel can be and at the same time I need a generous finder which Fuji has to offer. I couldn't adjust to the little CX system although I found it attractive in some aspects.
You're post gives me ideas, anyway. I don't think, using this 2.8 kg sports Sigma will ever happen without preparation and tripod and gimbal (or monopod), so always big load to carry around and of course, not often attracted to load that stuff on my back.
