Nice review Harold...another former Canon eos M user & loving the Fuji experience.

This forum does seem lot more friendly lol & lot more active.

I went with the XT4...more expensive but not having to change batteries is great (not sure why the charger is not included though!) & ibis is a bonus...I don't mind the flippy screen either.

Fuji is obviously considerably more expensive than the M series (and it some cases bulkier and heavier) but at least you are given the option. When I tried the EOS R I knew I wouldn't like the weight/bulk but then the added cost and seeing which direction Canon was going (the ultra-premium route for the most part) left me uneasy. After now having the X-T3 for awhile longer, the weight/bulk is a happy medium between the M and R but if I wanted to I could get something like the X-E3 and a prime and have a perfectly compact camera.

Battery life has been fine for me. I'm getting around 500-600 shots per charge but I also turn off/on my camera all the time.

My only gripe after having the X-T3 for longer is the grip. While it's better now that I have an L-bracket with grip, I was contemplating the X-H1. Ultimately, I decided I liked the ability to remove the L-bracket and go a little more compact if needed.

Yes I agree...it nicely fills the gap between M & R...I do have the xe3 too for when I need compact. XT4's grip is better but not like the M6ii. I also switch it off so I don't even need a spare battery (but I did get one)

Cost wise maybe I've lucky & I broke even selling my Canon gear & picked up most Fuji gear second hand. Xt4 is (understandably) expensive but that was a bit of an indulgence for my birthday. It's all worth it though..great camera.

I do like the overall Fuji experience better so I could never see myself switching to another brand now.

I wouldn't switch either and the X-T3 should fulfil my needs for several years at least.

One positive side-effect for me has been CaptureOne. I have been a long-time LR/PS user and stumbled upon CaptureOne specifically for Fuji and I really, really enjoy CaptureOne over LR/PS.

Yeah I need to try Capture One...although I haven't really done much post processing. I like jpgs so loving the film simulations at the moment! I do like your editing skills..keep up the good work.
