Re: A Tale As Old As Time - Help me find my first Fuji
OP, I think you mentioned the XE3 in your first post. Do also consider the XE4, too, if you decide to go the XE route.

I guess it is a bad time considering Gen 6 is coming soon. My assumption is that this fall, with the launch of X-T6, two things will happen. First, we get to see if the Gen 6 is worth upgrading too.

I don't constantly switch brands and can't claim to have hands on experience with the latest from other makes. In fact, constantly switching seems like a horrible distraction to me over getting to know what I have. I use my X-T5 with mostly later lenses which do AF better than older but almost never have an issue with Fuji AF anymore. I don't shoot sports but have had pretty good success with the occasional BIF. I think its great that Fuji packages the same sensor in different configurations to suit individual needs.
Good advice. (I use my XT5 as my "daily camera," too.)
I'm commenting on my own comment here!
I meant to share a couple of links with you.
This one is about my experience moving from the XPro2 to the XT5, so it might be relevant to your concerns.
The second one may be a bit less relevant to you, but it is about the XE5.
Enjoy. Or not. ;-)
