Of course I have no first hands impression.
But to me, the camera is definitely less big and heavy than the D810 - and for sure, less heavy. Now, lenses... depends: If your're used to pancakes or small and not so fast f/2.8 or f/4 lenses, then yes. But if I call a Sigma Art 50/1.4 a standard lens, then things are slightly different:
Fuji: ø 84 × 71, 405 grams
Sigma: ø 85.4 × 99, 815 grams
Now, which makes my back happier?
But of course, it depends. The 120 macro is around 1 kg, while a "normal" FF macro like the 105/2.8 micor Nikkor only comes to 750 grams.
Decent wide angles - none so far. Tele-lenses like 150-600 (190-760 with this crop factor of 1.27 × roughly): will not come, will not be affordable and nobody needs them, as long as current APS-C are that good.
With an adapter for Zeiss, Mamiya or Schneider lenses (which sometimes are second hand available and cheap compared to their original costs) I'd loose AF - but with that EVF I don't see a big problem. At the moment genuine lenses are only three, another two are visible on the official camera pictures. Yes, the price is something I don't spend just for fun. But it's one of the more affordable bodies in this sensor size category. And a high MP Canon is also around 3.5 - 4 k€. Using low cost lenses for this pixel count makes the whole thing less well performing, so on the lens side they are not that much more expensive. But they are.
