Have anyone compared the 2? I budget to buy either a used XT2 or a new Xt200 body to upgrade from my XA1. Used XT2 and new XT200 are about the same price. I know I would prefer the screen on the XT200. Autofocus is important to me since I’ll use it mainly for family portraits (with a moving toddler). How do these compare? I already have a couple of prime lens that I plan to use.

I also added XE3 since it’s about the same price as well.

For a moving toddler I´d go for the a6400 with its sticky AF.

I have the X-T2 and it wouldn´t cut it (neither would the XT-200). Maybe an X-T4, but maybe not.

I never use the X-T2s subject tracking AF or eye-AF, it´s just not good. I´ve tried the Nikon Z6 once and that was already a much better implementation of tracking AF. But for erratically moving subjects like small children, the a6400 is arguably the best.

Apart from that, X-T2s AF is pretty fast and good enough to get sharp shots if you have some DOF and the kid´s not moving too fast.
