Re: Would you choose X-T20 + 18-55 over X-T10 + 15-45 + 35/2?

The X-T20 is a great camera - I'm not 100% certain that the X-T20 will offer focus assistance, but I'm sure a quick search will reveal the answer.
I'd think the 18-55 lens would be better all around than the 15-45. I have the 16-55, acknowledged as one of Fuji's best lenses, and the 18-55 has been compared favourably to that lens.
Hope this helps

Hi guys, it's a hot topic and I have a pretty hard question regarding Fujifilm cameras, so I hope that someone can inspire me: I'm going to spend about 600 USD for a Fuji set and there are two options for me:

- X-T10 + 15-45 kit + xc 35mm f.2 (once it's available)
or
- X-T20 + 18-55 f/2.8-4

The first set will be like 600 USD and the second one is like 700 USD - What would you choose?

I have heard great reviews regarding 18-55 lens and obviously, I'd like to possess one, but since I got limited resources and those two options - I have a different question - Is 15-45 that bad? My current "versatile" lens is Panasonic 14-42 3,5-5,6 - Do any of you have experience with comparing them?

I also have 28mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.7 vintage lenses which I will surely use, so I expect "help" in manual peaking from the camera and I don't know if X-T20 is going to be a great step forward in that matter.

So, I guess that this problem can be summarized as "old camera body + so-so kit + great prime' versus "better camera body + great kit".

I'm curious about your opinions -
Based on the words above, what would you choose in this situation?

Thank you for your participation in the discussion!
