Man, I'm with 'Remco' on this one. I really think for the price, at the moment, that the X-T3 is the 'relevant' one. I had two X-T2's, and yes they are great cameras. I sold them about 2 years ago and updated to two X-H1's, which I really love and still use all the time. However, when I recently bought a mint 16 1.4, the H-1's couldn't 'cut the mustard' for focusing on fast moving objects, with that older lens.

I was forced to upgrade just so I could focus properly with the 1.4 lens. Prices here in Australia on 'Fleabay' for used X-T2 are still around 900 -1200 dollars. I got a brand new X-T3 (with Fuji rebate and Boxing day specials) for 1,300 and something dollars. The X-T3 has a real sweet spot - smaller than my H-1's, blazing fast autofocus like the T4 (and no goofy screen like the T4), and the same new backlit sensor. All of this for not much more than a used T2. Go figure guys!

I was lucky. I bought an X-T2 from Ted's Cameras in Melbourne a couple of months back. They had two in the second hand part of my local store. The one I got was in the box with all the new bits and pieces - everything, including the charger, unopened.

I got it home and found it had a shutter count of something like 170. I figure it was unsold stock with a few test shots or maybe ex-demo.

Not bad for $700 🙂
