Fuji explains why they stick with the APS-C format
Jan Anne:
Amazon Japan met with Optical Device & Electronic Imaging Products Manager Takashi Ueno to follow up a previous interview, and talked about the reason why the X series will not go for the full frame format.
The short answer:
We gave a lot of thought to this, and reached our conclusion that APS-C is the best format for the optimum balance of body size and image quality.
The long answer:

Curious what our Fuji fans have to say about this, opinions of others are of course also appreciated :)

I'd say that we've heard this before, haven't we :) :) :)
Anthony:
As a long term and current Nikon user, I have to say that the image quality from Fuji is outstanding. Except for action photography.
Bjørn Rørslett:
Glad to hear, Anthony. What part of this is due to the raw conversion software used - or are the files straight off the camera (jpgs) good on their own?
tommiejeep:
Anthony, which Fuji(s) are you using? I have a very strong, maybe irrational, desire to play with a Fuji . Just want to check out the IQ. For several reasons I do not plan on investing in a 'system' . Often used XE-1's come on the market and some times with the Kit 18-55 f2.8-4. I've thought about the X-20/X30 but have a feeling I want the larger sensor. So I'm looking for the least expensive buy-in :) . The X100 series doesn't really suit my shooting and this would not be a primary camera. I do have access to some very good photographers using Fuji for PP advice.
Cheers,
Tom
ps others are welcome to advise also ;)
