I have been testing my XT1 with the new v4.0 firmware today. I have been busy with other non-photo related business recently.
OK cutting to the chase this new firmware is definitely so much faster it is almost or very, very nearly as fast as my Nikon D800/D600/D3/D3S/D300 cameras.
There are one or two small items that I need to test further on the camera namely:
1. Face detection and eye detection and its speed.
2. Motion AF tracking.

If these are as good then I am struggling to find a reason to keep my sheaf of Nikons. The only saving grace is that my Nikon lens collection is infinitely more versatile than my Fuji one. I will need to wait for the 140-400mm and 120mm Macro but at least I can start to address this with the purchase of the 55-140 f2.8. In the mean time I can use my Nikon lens with a Kipon adapter but in MF mode.

What will Fuji offer in the next version of the firmware?
