Goodbye Canon and Olympus. Hello Fuji!

My digital journey started since 2004. And what a long journey it was! My first digital camera was Nikon Coolpix 3.2 MP (still being kept and working perfectly!). At the end of the day being a hobbyist, it not easy to carry all those heavy lenses during my travels and hikes. As soon as the mirrorless quality can match the DSLR, I knew the time has come to downsize and change to a more portable system. The Olympus micro 4/3 OMD-EM5 was a great camera but I felt uncomfortable with the ergonomics and the 4:3 aspect ratio.

So welcome Fuji X-T1! (and the 18-55 f2.8-4 R LM OIS)
