Hello, January 2022 here, 2.5 years after the last post on this topic. Yet something to share I guess... I'm on the verge of upgrading my yet wonderful X-T2 to X-T3. Yes, at time I'm writing this, X-T4 with its IBIS is on the market for a year or so, and X-T5 might be announced later this year. But my X-T2 is still a joy to use, except indeed its AF which is the only complaint I have with this camera.

I found today an almost new X-T3, 3 years old but almost never used, in brandnew condition, for 700 EUR. I can still hope to get about 400-500 EUR from my X-T2. So yes, now I'm upgrading to X-T3 for its AF (in the meantime upgraded to the same performance as the X-T4, which btw shares the same X-Trans IV sensor as well) and two welcome additions although not a game changer: better EVF and touch screen.

Second-hand is just a wonderful market. If you don't need to latest specs on the latest gear (and almost nobody does actually...) you can make excellent purchase with people who bought what the seller told them was best, but actually never use their gear and end up selling them cheap...

And, cherry on the cake, no need for new batteries: my set of NP-W126(S) are yet fully compatible with the X-T3 (and my cherished X100F)!

great camera. Got one in 2018, another in nov 2021.

too bad they were made in china.

So great that you bought two of that China made camera…
