    Nice shot. How are you liking the X-T5? I’m waffling quite a bit about keeping my FF setup or going back to APS-C. I would probably to for the X-H2 (dat grip), but from what I’ve read the X-T5 has parity in terms of capabilities.

      I upgraded from an X-T3, I think its honestly fine. I used a Sony full frame before that and I enjoyed it till the IBS broke on a bouncy hike (not dropped).

      There’s definitely a different look to full frame, that I miss. And I was eyeing the GFX-100 at the time of purchase, but I don’t think that’d work for a show, also lens $$$$

      But here’s what I’m enjoying:

      • Color science, I do very little editing with the preset profiles and recipes online
      • Dials galore (I can fly by settings easily in and out of the UI)
      • Processing Speed (particularly on the X-T5, that’s some of why I upgraded), I don’t think I’ve met the buffer limit while shooting any live shows
      • Build, I think I’ve tossed the X-T3 about on travels and out and about town, held up great, looks worn and loved.
      • the IBS is pretty killer on the 5, I don’t do video anymore but its wonderful when I shoot lowlight
      • Battery life is great, I haven’t bought a 2nd battery yet

      Also to comment on the 40MP sensor, its not much of an upgrade, I wouldn’t say it looks noticeably better. I do only use one Fujinon lens that “makes use” of the full res, but I do crop quite a bit and haven’t had an issue.

      I hope that helps a bit.
