Hi Fuji fellows,
I started working as a part-time freelance photographer earlier in September 2024 after perfecting my craft as hobby for 8 years, and time has come for me to upgrade my gear. I currently work with an X-S10 as my main body, and my good old X-T20 as a back-up if I need to cameras, e.g., on events. Although these are mid-range cameras, I am fairly happy with them, but my X-S10's sensor has been giving me signals that it's time for it to retire. Blue lines sometimes appear across pictures, I imagine as the sensor reaches to high a temperature and it exhausts some cells, or something similar.
As some of my events are involve sports photography and fast movement, I am currently leaning towards the X-H2s, but if there's one thing I liked less with my X-S10... it was the ergonomy, that wasn't that of an X-T line camera. While the X-H2s is what I need in terms of buffer speed, autofocus performances, possibility to add a battery grip, etc., I can't get myself to turn away from that X-T5 - and I also think they're quite complementary.
Problem is: the X-T5 came out two years ago already. I imagine an X-T6 is on the horizon, though we might still wait for some months, if not a year, for it to come out, as Fujifilm keeps updating the other camera models. Still... would it be worth waiting, and using the X-S10 as a back-up to the X-H2s in the meantime? Or shall I just go for the X-T5, and if the X-T6 comes out next year, upgrade to the new model?
Anyhow - many, many thanks for your time and input.
Happy photographing,
Jesse
