Sorry for the rant, it was influenced by the Fuji rumors site which is desperately looking for "professionals" using the cheered cameras. And it's comparatively easy to say, it's not a pro-system - long fast prime lenses are missing very much.
I admit, I was not carefully studying the mirrorless market when I bought the first X-E2 a year ago, together with two nice primes. Things were going well, some Kaizen updates were stunning improvements - but the pro or x-t league has still shortcomings and quirky handling, so my enthusiasm was cooled a fair bit. But still, my back remains grateful for mirrorless.
Also the software related part of photography is bothering me more and more. So many half hearted apps around , few cool features come together will some bitter pills to swallow. Forced updates, yesterday I had a freeze of the Mac due to the new Sigma raw converter version - can't recall when that happened last time before.
5 years ago I mastered a steep learning curve wit Aperture, later with Capture One and my amateur world was alright and enjoyable. The I was looking closer, saw a difference in sharpness of the same lens due to AF problems and started to seek solutions.
