Lenses are expensive due to full frame. This is the main expense of switching from APS-C to full frame.
Any Mk III models will also be full frame and therefore have expensive lenses.
The Fuji XT-2, whilst very good, is APS-C, so will always have cheaper glass due to size.
N.B This isn't a bash at APS-C.

Seen this deal the other night and thought it seemed good.
Thinking of doing away with my canon 700d and getting this instead,anyone know if it will be much of an upgrade ?
Would love to get the Sony a7s but the price is a little too high.

You might find autofocus is too slow for you. You'd be better with an A7ii for the extra speed. The iq is awesome though.
Lenses Too Expensive
No Mains Battery Charger
Sometimes Doesn't Magnify
Very Poor Battery Life

I like how you didn't list a single Pro!

May be outdated but still blow away anything from canikon for the same money in terms of IQ!

What does this post mean? That you feel the world it littered with outdated products and there is nothing new and exciting anymore? I feel frustration and anger, a sadness if you will. ...Another. Outdated. Crap. Such a defeated and deflated view. I hope you find what you're looking for...one day.

Battery life is poor you can however buy aftermarket ones for just £10 ea. One of the benefits of this camera is its small size and weight (and Full Frame). I would expect any newer models to be quite a bit bigger to accommodate a larger battery (take a look at the new Sony A9). Lenses can be expensive but the standard kit lens this comes with, is very good.

The size benefit is negated by larger lenses.
Full free mirrorless is pointless - same bulk as dslr with poor battery life and tiny, hard to operate controls.

I've got the xt2 and will be selling it soon, a huge mistake. IQ is so-so, well controlled chroma noise but lots of issues with waxy skin tones and foliage, xtrans sensor simply doesn't work for landscapes (and yes, I tried dozen different raw converters like everyone suggests). Not to mention glass prices, 50mm equivalent costs 3-4 times more than 50mm for C/N and still won't give you that depth of field. 56 1.2 is ridiculously overpriced compared to 85 1.8 and again the dof is nowhere that close.
It's a great second camera but I wish I didn't fall for the mirrorless marketing hype.
