Hello all, thinking of getting either X100v or XT4 with 16-80mm or Oly M5 iii with 12-40mm f2.8

Am thinking of taking some pics of landscape, city and family pics. We are 3 families travelling and it is going to be half family pics and half cith/nature pics.

While I love my X100V for street and family photos, I find a "normal" range zoom to be preferable for landscape, city and travel and in general.

Any recommendation/suggestion based on the location am travelling to. I do have full frame (R6), but my lens are bit heavy to carry out.

Planning to get mft or apsc for smaller footprint and lighter in weight..

Thanks once again!!

If you've got a full frame camera and you want something that's lighter/smaller, mft makes more sense (to me) than Fuji. But that also means you should be choosing compact items from within the mft offerings. In particular, I think the Panasonic 12-35/2.8 is a better choice than the Olympus 12-40/2.8 because of its small/lighter specs. Image quality is excellent. I used mine with my Olympus E-M5 II and they worked very well together.

If you don't need f/2.8, then the Panasonic 12-60/3.5-5.6 zoom is even smaller/lighter with more focal range.

There is nothing with the performance of the X-S10 anywhere near its price-point, its an X-T4 with cheaper evf but better ergonomics and single sd slot. Same goes for 16-80 f4, no 12-60 2.8 currently exists!

X-S10 different class to any m43 in image quality, identical iq to Sony A7IV!
