Hi guys, just signed up here. Im a Professional videographer looking for a nice high quality B-Cam that matches the footage from my Blckmagic Pocket 4K Camera well. The last months I was able to borrow a Fuji XT-3 from a friend as gimbal B-Cam and the footage was really useable for professional work and also matched the color science of my Blackmagic Cm really well. Since I also didnt have a reasonable stills camera for vacation trips for years, I wanna spend in a b-camera that also fits the gap for shooting great stills on vacation and Behind the scenes on video production. My picks atm are the XT50, esapically because of a great offering at my local dealer, but also its bigger brother XT-5. Video and stills quality wise, they should pretty much deliver exact same results. The only complaint about the XT-50, which costs about 600-700 € less than the XT-5 here in germany, is that it's not weather sealed. I really don't care about that as far as videoproduction goes, but I don't wanna get into problems in winter vacation in northern Norway the upcoming month.. Should I invest in XT-5 to get weather resistsnace? How important is it? Espiaclly when traveling in snow and cold contortion.. apart from this, the xt-50 looks really nice with high video bitrate options and great stills.. Thanks !

I got an XT5 a couple days ago and yesterday I noticed that every time that I grab the camera firmly there is a certian play and a squeaking sound coming from the SD card door. I noticed that when the SD card door its closed it seems that its not 100% flushed and if you push it inwards the door has a lot of play and makes that squeaking sound. My model is a black model and before getting this one I rented a silver one and I don't remember noticing anything like that. Has anybody have this issue? would this compromise the weather sealing?
