I was looking at cameras tonight on B&H's website and cam upon the Fuji weather sealed UV/IR DSLR APS camera at 12.5MPs.
I would like to see some reviews on that camera. If it's a good as the 5D image wise, it's a better investment, even though it's 500 US more. It's weather sealed and offers UV and IR capability.
But what is even better is that they make the backs for both Canon and Nikon lenses.
This is the way to market. Now you don't have to give up your lenses and buy new ones if you simply want to change backs, not lenses.
I wish Fuji had a 16MP or 21MP camera that offered both IR and UV, plus the other new technology. If it were less, and performed as well as Canon, it would be an upset in my book. In any event, they're in my opinion doing something here that will catapult them over other competitors, such as Sony, since most people are using Nikon or Canon lenses in this sensor size.
If you want to go Sony, even if they do offer something better than Canon or Nikon, you have to invest in a new line of lenses. My point is that if Sony and Fuji compete and both have similar offerings, Fuji is going to win out with those already invested in Canon or Nikon.
I never could understand why Sony didn't do that exact thing, instead of forcing a new lens kit. Yeah right Sony. You better have something unconceivable to get people to do that.
