Back to Fuji talk, the X-T5 and 16-55mm are being delivered a day early meaning I'm getting it from Monday to Thursday now :cool:

Unless there’s something major that I can’t live with, I can’t see how it can lose really: similar form to my X-T4, which I love. Better battery life, IBIS and autofocus. It doesn’t feel like there’s a downside really (apart from paying for it!)

Unless you really like the flippy screen ;)

:oops: :$

Why? You've got A7x kit so why go for an SLR type APS-C? You must be getting away from the small light package of the X100. Small and light was the point wasn't it?

Maybe it's for the fun of trying new kit? I can understand if that's the reason as I ended up with way too many film era lenses because it was a fun thing to do but I've never really felt the same with cameras.

Anyway. My understanding isn't necessary. Enjoy! :D

The initial thought was weight saving for travel, but I do like the Fuji files.

I’m 90% sure I’ll not buy it though ;)

If you'll enjoy using it then I say go for it... you can always sell it on if if it doesn't gel but I do struggle to see the point in having both Sony FF and an incompatible APS-C FF bodie. Will the difference in size and weight between SLR type Sony and Fuji systems be significant enough? For me, almost certainly not. I know Sony bodies have got a bit bigger in recent years but the Sony SLR type bodies I've had killed off my MFT SLR bodies.

On files, sorry but I can't see them matching a Sony FF file for me but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Good luck with it.

I could have the body and two lenses for the same weight as the Sony and one lens (I’ll be taking zooms). It depends what you’re looking for in files, Sony files do have a smidge more detail, but I like the aesthetics of the Fuji files, and some of the lenses have very good micro contrast giving similar depth to the images. YMMV

I think (for me) the Sony files have quite a bit more detail, especially in lower light. But it feels in the past year or so detail and IQ have fallen down my list for a lot of situations. Maybe I've changed a bit and want more for photos with feeling or light etc Maybe shooting more film has changed those feelings.... I'm not sure....

In Cornwall, I certainly used the A7Riii and 35GM for the dedicated sunset/landscape photos. The X100f easily covers everything else. I've not really pushed the X100f for situations like that, but I feel I should. I always thought the X100f and the DJI Mini 2 would be a nice lightweight kit :) And, I should use the drone more often too!
