X-T20 focus speed vs X-E2 (18mm and XC50-230 II)

55-200mm is a completely different league of AF to 50-230mm XC. If you want blazing fast try the 90mm f2, 50-140mm f2.8 16-55mm f2.8 unless their prices are what makes the inaccessible. But in that they are no different to DSLR cameras/lenses.

The f2 primes are best for kids from what I've read.

I recon that from the other threads i read, i got the feeling that AF wasn't very diferent between the 55-200 and the 50-230 II. Optically they were also not very different. Of course the f-stops allow higher shutter speeds and that alone can make it worth for some people. I live in Portugal where we have sun 70% of the time and i use it in daytime so AF is the gamechanger for me, not being brighter.

As i mentioned above, the in DSLRs you have cheap telezooms with USM or not USM, at least in Canon (have not used Nikon so i don't know).

A 75-300 USM or a 100-300 USM are arround 100GBP used. 55-200 is more than 400GBP used. Even the 75-300 IS USM from Canon is 200GBP used now...so that is something different in DSLRs world.

I wanted to stay light and have only one camera, so while getting the X-T20 would be a wonderful solution for me, the 55-200 at 580g doesn't sound very friendly to be honest.

My budget only allows one of the options:

Exchange X-E2 for X-T20

Exchange 50-230 for 55-200

(maybe) Exchange 50-230 for 90mm f2 (90mm would be nice for indoors also...although no zoom)
