Hello all,

Been meaning to upgrade my X-T1 and get a 24-70 equivalent zoom for my event work. The x-t1 pretty beat up (e.g screen doesnt work) and my 35mm f2 is often not wide enough for group shots, not that versatile when doing events.

Looking for better af, better handling (grip is rather shallow on the t1), a bump in resolution, some decent video chops, a workhorse generally.

Now, the t4 body is coming out at $1700, the xh1 with 16-55 is around the same price.

The shiny new xt4 is tempting with all the advances in af and all. The flippy screen, having used a gh5 I dont care much for it. I have no issue with xt1 implementation save the fact that it doesnt do vertical tilt.

To go for the latest and greatest now, or to go for decent body and some glass?

What do you guys think?

I would take a serious look at the X-T3. No flippy screen, great autofocus, blazing fast operation etc-etc-etc!
