I had the A6000, then M50, then X-T100 and now the X-T20.

The M50 is a nice camera but there were just to many nitpicks for me:

- The flip screen while cool on paper, requires to be swung out completely to adjust the angle. In Sony and Fuji you can just flip it up or down quickly.

- When using the touch screen to adjust the AF field while looking through the EVF it would behave erratically when my nose was touching the screen (only the right part of the screen was active).

- After i stopped using the touch screen for AF, changing the field with D-Pad was a chore because the jumps aren't big enough and you really have to wait a lot for the rectangle to move.

- The one adjustment wheel is really limiting.

- The last straw for me was the fact that in the Canon M-System the lens is always wide open even when half pressing the shutter. You have to assign a button for "DOF-Preview" to make it close. No other mirrorless i was using would do that. I understand that this is how it worked in DSLRs, but I am buying mirrorless to have a complete WYSIWYG experience.

The X-T100 AF is laughable and the sluggish interface makes it though to use.

I now have a used X-T20 that i bought for the price of a new X-T100 and I am finally happy.
