If you have X100T and you care about stills and not video, you will not get much by moving to X100V

I am long time happy user of the Fuji x100T. it is great camera, simple to use , with lots of manual control, the one thing I was not happy about was the focus speed. So I bought the X100V.

The X100V is not a totally different camera, but if the previous models were focus on still photography this one is supposed to be good for video as well, which I do not use. other things in the camera I am not planning to use

- touch screen - disabled it completely.

- face detection and all the focus points.

- tilt screen

- i miss the 4 way controller

- q button position is not comfortable

the battery, i was hopping to use the batteries I have from my Fuji X-T1, but they are not optimised for X100V, and there is a message on the screen telling you these are not optimal for fuji x00v.

On the image editing side.

I use a relatively old stand alone version of lightroom, so the RAW file can not be edited in this version for that i purchased Iridient X-Transformer, and that changes my workflow.

Bottom line - IMO - If you have X100T and you care about stills and not video, you will not get much by moving to X100.

I don't know how this works, but below your message I see a score for the 100t or  v and the highest score is for portraits, for a camera with a 35mm equivalent  lens.

Can somebody explain?
