Not long ago, I was in a similar position as you were. I wanted an SLR like Fuji camera. My options were:

  • Used X-T1
  • Used or new X-T2
  • User or new X-T20

I went for a used X-T1 for about $650 CAD.

Why I did not get an X-T2:

  1. Could not find a used X-T2.
  2. A new X-T2 in Canada is $1,750 + 15% tax = $2,000...I do not believe the X-T2 is worth $1,300 more than a lightly used X-T1 (many will say it does, and that's okay).

Why I did not get an X-20:

  1. The EVF is smaller than the X-T1 (important to me).
  2. The body of the X-T20 is a bit small for my hands. (I'm about 6'2").

The X-T1 is an excellent camera with a BIG EVF. In your case, the X-T1 is cheaper than the X-T20 so I would definitely get the X-T1 and save the extra money for lens in the future!

Cheers,

Charles
