What you are saying, Howard, is that an awful lot of buyers are buying the wrong camera for them. That's not Fuji's fault or a weakness with the camera; it's the buyers' fault for not being more discerning.
You missed my point. I was responding to your statement that a comparison between the two cameras is misplaced, apples to oranges, because they are designed to serve completely different roles, with the Fuji GFX being a full featured, versatile camera system that offers the ability to adapt third party lenses, tilting EVF adapters, the ability to use a tech camera with it, etc. For a photographer who has no need for all of that versatility and just wants/needs what the X1D does well, a comparative evaluation IS appropriate. I believe there are many photographers who fall into that category who will accurately perceive (NOT misperceive) their needs as being more limited, and they SHOULD compare. There are many, many photographers who own cameras like Nikon D810s who use hardly any of the features and capabilities that it offers, yet they buy them for the image quality produced by the sensor/imaging pipeline and the lenses. I think that makes perfect sense. I think that the GFX will be the same.
