X-S20 XC15-45mm Lens Kit

Great photos on your iPhone 13 Pro. You will do well moving over to a Fuji body. The X-M5 is well priced package. Hard to beat for buying new. Older Fujis will still have pretty close image quality as advancements in sensor tech hasn’t really changed that much. For instance an image from an X-T2 or

Fujifilm has more fun factor for sure. I really like the user experience. I traded an x-s20 for an S5II. I have also owned an X-H1 and X-T30 II. I do miss the smaller size and more affordable lenses, but I didn’t really care for the film simulations and if you mainly develop raw files, I will say th

The X-T4 Mirrorless Kit: (body + XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4) even against pricier full-frame flagships (€3000+), X-t4 IS THE Best Camera because no expensive model matches it. Other than the X-S20 which is the same with PASM instead of retro dials. I cannot insist enough on how much this camera is an actual

If your goal is crisp photos, that’s totally achievable with cameras in the Sony a6400 or Fujifilm X-S20 range. Both are solid choices and can give you beautiful results. Just one thing to keep in mind: there’s no magic camera that gives great photos on its own. The body is part of the equation, but

TBH you’d be fine going either way. Fuji’s autofocus is poor relative to other systems today but is still much better than autofocus systems from 10-15 years ago, and people have been vlogging since then and it’s fine. There will definitely not be pulsing in video as long as you’re smart with your a

I haven't really seen any reviews/footage of the XS-20 for video where it shows consistent and reliable AF, it's not really a Fujifilm strength yet, so I would drop that from your list. The S9 is pretty remarkable value (here in the UK often under £1k with a kit lens), it certainly ticks a lot of bo

The latest models have really good autofocus. I have the X-T5 and came from Canon 5D, 6D, and EOS R mirrorless and find the autofocus with the latest firmware from mid last year pretty good. Sony and Co are better, but Fujifilm is very usable even for my running kids. Photography is not all about au

I agree with pretty much everything you have said. The biggest head scratcher for me right now is the OM-5. That initial release was incredibly lazy looking back to it. They initially justified themselves that it didn't have USB-C and the new menu system because it used the older processor from the

Tagging on to this comment because you mentioned AF. I switched from a Fujifilm X-S20 to the Nikon Zf in November of 2024. And I did it because 2024 was a horrible year for Fuji autofocus and it took Fujifilm forever (literally months) to address the issues and update their cameras to correct a prob

For vlogging definitely XS20, lighter, open gate, articulating screen, 26mp doesn’t have rolling shutter, better AF, PASM dials are better suited for videography than retro dials. For photography definitely T5, 40 megapixels means more punch in without losing detail if you would want to print it, ti
