Re: DSLR replacement X-Trans II or better

I’m not 100% certain what keeps puling me back to the X100S, but I don’t think size is totally it. I think its a subconscious knowing that the shots will be so much better than what I get from the 5D. Bear in mind that the Tamron 70-200 is 3.2 lbs and I’ve shot that one-handed*

*Don’t ask for the photos though.

II thought this too, but I’m worried I’ll end up with one fo the camera’s not having a full purpose. The X-E3 looks like its an X100F but with interchangeable lenses - going down this road and adding the X100S to the trade-in and getting a 23mm F2 (or even the F1.4) gives me the same thing but with some increase in versatility and a single camera. Definitely something I may consider. Now if there was an X-E4 … I hear rumours its due in Q1’21…

I’d like to include it, and it might still be an option but its just not available on the trade-in. The X-Pro1 and X-Pro3 are, but the 3 is only in budget if I don’t get any lenses 🤣 ROFL I wonder if that’s a sign - nobody trading them in as they’re just that good/loved?

Personal feedback like this makes mes lean towards the H-1, as it seems past the X-Trans3 series theres a lot of love for this range. Not a huge benefit outside of G.A.S. to upgrading either (apart from IBIS on the T4 but the H1 has this for half the price).

Good to know - see above, the E-series sounds like it could be a possibility but with caveats.

Does the H1 ‘feel’ like a DSLR in your opinion?

Given that the UK can (right now, for a limited period only) open retail, I am going to head into the store next week to do exactly the tactile-testing to see. Not having been able to do this for weeks makes it hard to come to a conclusion!

Do you have a ‘grab-cam’ that you instinctively reach for when you leave the house, like the E3?
