When the differences are so obvious, I'm tempted to blame it on post-processing, otherwise the Fuji camera is a distant second to the 645Z. I don't shoot MF, but in smaller formats the weight of the camera is the least important factor, for example I find the Sony APS-C and FF bodies to be awkward and unbalanced with the lenses I want to use and that makes the EVF vs OVF argument pointless for me. I don't like EVFs, even on better handling bodies like Olympus, but it took 15 seconds of holding Sony bodies to know I didn't like them.
If you are only going to take photos with a tripod, handling isn't an issue, but it appears to me that Fuji images are inferiour to Pentax. The paying public doesn't give a crap about resolution, all that matters is the initial impression. So really it comes down to whatever it takes for the photographer to take pictures with immediate impact.. Buy whatever you want, either you take appealing photos or you don't and the equipment you use doesn't change your inherent ability one way or the other.
