X-T5 for hobby

[Niv333]

Hello guys, 

Do you think XT5 will be overkill for casual street photography. Which one would you pick up Xt5 and Xpro3 have same price.

The flip screen on the XT5 will be good for street photography. It is nice to be able to take photos from a lower perspective, not just at eye level. I have used an XE2 for street photography for several years and the advantage of the “rangefinder” style is that some people will ask if it is a Leica! 
The additional resolution of the XT5 will give you more flexibility if you choose to crop an image.

I have  an XPRO-2 and an XT-5 (recently upgraded  from  and XT-3).  I didn't make the upgrade to XPRO-3 or XT-4 because I didn't see  fundamental improvement in the X-Pro, and the XT-4 was tilting too far to the video side of the  house with it's flippy screen and such. I have zero interest in making  video.

The XT-5 is a seriously capable camera, but if you are looking for casual shooting - handheld  camera that  doesn't shout  PHOTOGRAPHER!! I'd look at for a clean, gently used XPRO-2 with the exceptionally sharp,  compact and weather sealed "Fujicron" primes like  the 23mm f/2  and 50mm f/2.  If we have the  patience we might someday see an XPRO-4 that has the megapixels and processor of the XT-5, and in the mean time enjoy the very capable XPRO-2
