Its hard to say for certain or even this early if the Fuji sensor will completely smoke the Micro 4/3 sensors and Micro 4/3 probably has the best lens lineup of all mirrorless systems in reality.The GX8, as well as all to be announced top end m43 cameras, like the new PenF or later this year the EM1markII will "only" have a 20MP sensor and this in m43 format. Needless to say that the XPro2 with it's 24MP APSC sensor will smoke all of them easily, I do not have the slightest doubt. Further Fuji cameras to follow later this year like the XT2 will have the same sensor with probably some add ons and further benefits.
This means that Fuji is clearly ahead of the complete m43 bandwagon already now and will most likely stay so in the years to come. Add to this the pretty complete range of high end lenses specifically developed for this cameras, especially the new 100-400, and there are not even the arguments of more complete lens range compared to m43 holding up any longer. Even if some argue that the XPro2 does not support 4K, this is only true for now and could easily change, as the new processor and the complete hardware infrastructure of the camera including sensor is capable of 4K, which makes me almost sure we will see this feature in any upcoming XT2 and very likely as FW upgrade in the XPro2 soon after.
Hard to withstand the latest Fuji offerings ....
I understand the excitement for the camera though it looks great on paper and it's good to see Fuji finally update their most interesting system camera line IMO. Personally I'm most interested in the rumored MF Fuji system if it's priced correctly or in the spirit of the Mamiya 7II.
