Firstly, I'm not the only person talking about the waxy skin. So by all means pick on me but please don't assume I'm the only one who has experienced this issue. Secondly, you are comparing your X-T1 to my experiences with an X-T2. I think with your "lots of experience with DSLR and mirror-less cameras" you can work out that we are talking about two different cameras. Thirdly, DO NOT dismiss my opinions and DO NOT imply I have a lack of skill. Because if you do you are going to look like a very silly little man.
The comment you quoted and Barry Sprout quoted was made by me to amateur photographers. And I stand by the comment. The FUJI is a joy to use (I Still own a X-Pro2) and I can live with it's weaknesses (ISO/sharpness) for my own personal use. But for pro use it's not as good as my Nikon's. Simple fact. For amateur use go for it. Fun to use and decent JPEGs. Noisy RAW files that don't play well with Adobe. No thanks.
On your other point, I'll tell people they are giving bad advice if I believe they are. All day long. You won't stop me and neither will anyone else. Dave70D made a misleading and completely inaccurate statement, suggesting that members of the fuji thread "could" be pros. What a joke! Sure they COULD be. But anyone who's been a member of the forum for any length of time will know that the vast majority of the forum are amateurs/hobbyists. And that thread is no different. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder about professional photographers. Whilst it's easy to sling the "pros are not very good" label around it's just a pathetic insult from a bitter man. Get over it.
To the poor OP who by now will have given up on TP, I would just say this. I have used DSLR and mirror less in real world professional environments and at this stage I would strongly suggest you stick with your Canon cameras for your portrait and event work. If you want to get a mirrorless for your street photography it might be worth dipping your toe in. But whatever you do don't ditch the Canons.
Oh and did I forewarn the Fuji Fanboys would be beating the door down to get into this thread. I think I may have.
The XT-1 and T2 are not all that different. And I will dismiss all I like, as you are doing it to everyone else's comments. Nobody is picking on you, I said nothing the first 2 times I saw you scaremongering about artifacts and waxiness. It's like you're on some anti-fuji mission, you're in with your tuppence every thread you see someone considering a move.
Every single one of your posts in here is misleading as not so long ago you were all praise for the very camera you're now slating. You're also being a massive hypocrite, telling someone off for giving supposed bad advice to newcomers, then you say your posts in the Fuji threads are aimed at amateurs, [are you actually a pro?? - you think this makes your opinion more valid?] yet here you are .... again, bad mouthing Fuji cameras to newcomers because it didn't suit you. I am implying you are lacking skill, with Fuji cameras, yes. It's not an insult, it's an opinion. If you want to take it to insults go right ahead, I think you're the one who will end up looking silly[er] though.
You didn't forewarn anything btw, you threw that line in because you knew people would call you out on it. Calling them "fanboys" is just showing you up even more. Grow up.
