Re: X-S10 / X-T3 for vintage lenses

Thanks all for your advice. In the end ordered a used X-T3, two cheapish vintage lenses + adapter to try my hand at old manual lenses and a used XF 18-55 for general purpose stuff for slightly more than what the S-X10 + 15-45 zoom would have cost new.

My rational brain said that the X-S10 would be from a technical standpoint better camera with IBIS, more jpeg options, maybe better AF for when I shoot my kid and more film sims. But my emotional side just knew that the X-T3 would feel much better in my hand, has more external controls, a larger EVF and it looks better.

I remember why I bought the X100F in the first place. It was how the camera felt in my hand and how much joy simply using it brought me. So while the X-S10 is probably the more advanced and "useful" camera the X-T3 will be more joyful to use. And that is the important point.
