Worth upgrading a XT4?

[David_miller70]

… if so, what for, Xt5? I like the form factor of the Xt’s

Not sure about the XH’s. 

Quite like the xe4, but have an x100v already!

I shoot landscape (country and city), dogs, family etc

Thanks,

David

As to the original question, now more than half a year old, I just upgraded from an X-T4 to an X-T5. I'm just getting started with it. I like the increase in resolution. I think I like the option to save as HEIF or JPG, though I'm just learning about the significance (and if you shoot 100% RAW it may be a non-issue anyhow).

I'm also intrigued by the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot Function", which repurposes IBIS to move the sensor around to 20 slightly different positions, taking a picture at each position. You then use their free software on a desktop computer to combine the 20 pictures, creating a 160 megapixel image. The resolution doubles, and each pixel in this final image has information from all 3 color masks, rather than exactly 1 which is puffed up by de-mosaicing. Very clever. It is a real 160 megapixel image, sort of. Haven't experimented with it yet.

There are a bunch of other improvements in the specs, though I don't think of those by themselves as sufficient reason to make the upgrade.

I'm having a great time getting to know the camera -- but, then, I am fond of equipment....
