Hi, 

I´m not in to Fuji yet, but am thinking about it. I might sell E-M5iii, 12-100, 20mm 1.4 and some stuff I don´t use.

In that  case I would buy X-T5 or X-T3, 16-80,  a f1.4 WR lens. It might cost me an additional 850-1000€ if X-T5.

I need some good advice (probably against this because of my wife) if it´s a good idea.

My (swipe) reasons:

  • The tilt screen of X-T5 / X-T3
  • Better low light performance, I often shoot in low light
  • Better autofocus
  • I often crop and save pictures in 16:9 and 3:2
  • Dials
  • Better build quality, maybe being able to use pd-clip
  • Slow motion 240fps might be nice on X-T5
  • If jpg:s are nice I save them, but often shoot RAW and use DXO for denoise

 

Doubts:

  • No IBIS on X-T3
  • Weather sealing, the camera comes along on hikes, skiing etc in all sorts of weather. It´ll take some hits maybe. Never had problems with Olympus.
  • Money, if X-T5. I buy used stuff, so X-T3 is OK.
  • In the end there might not be that much of difference in low light performance?
  • Size (though 16-80 is smaller than 12-100 and I´ve got E-P7 with Leica 15mm as small kit)

    • Hmmm ... The custom profile files created and stored by XRawStudio look pretty similar. The whole structure of the files is exactly the same at least for X-H1, X-T4 and a X-H2 related (so, 3 generations). Just the values for camera and serial# are (certainly) different. And features/values that do not exist for an older camera generation are left empty there. That's all. E.g. if I take a custom profile file created with XRawStudio for the X-H2, and I copy it to the X-T4 folder and just edit the camera and serial# information with a simple text editor ... this manually adjusted X-H2 custom profile perfectly works with the X-T4 inside XRawStudio. As the underlying data structure seems to be very much the same and data are considering camera differences already, it cannot be rocket science to allow XRawStudio to manage custom profiles across cameras, even across camera generations.
    • I had this same problem with my manual focus lens. I couldn't enable focus peaking. I thought it was a problem with the lens, and was about to give up on the lens. Then I switched the setting on my XT5 from back button focus, which I always use,  to focus with the shutter button. And lo and behold, the focus peaking worked! I have no idea why that should make a difference, but it did. So maybe that is the problem that others are facing. Anyway, it's worth a try!
