I think the present line up is not going to replace your D4, Eric.
The focus is slower and the continuous focus is not as refine. For sports, fast moving animals etc, this isn't going to cut it.
The new x100s is apparently a step up in focus speed, but I'm sure it is still way off from a top of line Nikon.
That said, I find there is an extremely small number of times that the "slower" focus hampers me. I surely miss one or two shots now and then, but I miss more than that when I chose not to lug the big boy or it's on my shoulder, not around my neck where I can get it on the subject a lot quicker. Toss up, if you ask me and which is lighter and easier to carry and use and (at least for now) feels like fun again
The D800 is the BEST, the xpro-1 is the BEST ... Life is good
Thanks Tom
I was considering the same combo...D800 and FujiX....replacing both my D3 and D7000. Just not yet confident they will cover all situations. But I fully intend to give the Fuji a good shakedown over the next couple of months.
It's probably more operator error than the camera .at this moment.
