I see. What a coincidence, the first fuji camera I ever used (loan from a friend because I was too poor to own a camera back then) was also the X100S, very nice color SOOC, but AF was slow and I didn't like the 23mm FL back then. I agree that Sony AWB was always off especially toward to yellow tone at indoor setting. I find it at outdoor, it was ok. The irony was that when I first switched to Fuji from sony a6000, it was because I so much adore the Fuji jpeg, but after I've switched I find that I've enjoyed editing fuji Raw files so much that, I almost always edit the RAW files, even thought I shoot RAW + jpeg all the time and just discard the jpeg after I've edited the raw.

For me, anything north of RM4K is not worth the money in the apsc realm because frankly I don't need all the bell and whistle. I got my XT3 brand new for RM3.5k, that's so far the most expensive body yet.

Other than the price, the huge file size of XT5 will make noise apparent at high iso as well as the burden on the computing power on my old PC are huge turn off. If Canon allow sigma to make lenses for it's RF mount, I would have got myself an R awhile back. If I have to spend 8K+ (The price of XT5) I would rather get the Canon R6. But then again, that's just me.

If you really like the XT5 and you can afford it, why not ? These days, the worth is not really measured by how many new features in the new body vs the older gear, but on how much you wanted it.

Fair enough. XT3 is also weather seal, just saying....

Yoo destfull, how are you man ? I bet you don't remember me. We've exchanged conversation when I was a sony user back in 2016-2018. You were using a6500 and selling your 4K video for high profits. As for shop, other than kldslr, you can go berjaya time square, there are few shops around for you to test, Acce, sccamera, altech just to name a few...

Ibis is not so crucial for stills. It is more for videos. Larger MP files only good if you print big. Heck, even 20mp is good enough to print poster size, how big you going to print? Or do you really print at all. Higher Mp count comes with more apparent noise. Of course, asking you to get a XT3 or XT4 is more like a defeat since they have the exact same sensor as your XT30ii.

The way I look at it is that, your heart is pretty much set on the new gear, you're asking here merely to seek justification to convince your conscience that you "need" the upgrade. As I always tell people, it is not wrong to buy new gear as long as you can afford it and it doesn't burden you financially.

How much did you pay for it ?

What is your budget for the camera body? And your budget for lenses ? And what type of photography you want to shoot? We need to know this before we can recommend you a camera body and lens/lenses.

If I buy new, I won't buy from oversea. Warranty claim is a problems. If I buy used, then it doesn't matter la. Just my 2 cents
