So, after some considerable thought and dust collecting on my shelves, I’ve decided (almost) to sell my hardly used XT4.

I have an XT4, X100V and X70 along with a 16 1.4 lens (sold yesterday) and 35 1.4 lens. I’m a hobbyist and have occasionally done paid food photography shoots which I’ve ended up using my X100V for but find I almost always pick up my X100V
I have a baby on the way and decided to sell things I don’t use for space rather than money and my XT4 just never seems to be picked up. I feel I can get by with the X100V and the X70 for most things.

Has anyone else done the same. How has it gone so far? Alternatively, I could sell the XT4 and get a cheaper body. I don’t do video really but don’t want to limit my photography of my new child in anyway.

would love to hear your thoughts.

How's the AF and AF-C performance of those bodies? Is the X-T4 better than X100V or vice versa? With the baby, you'd want reliable AF, especially in low light. I only had a Canon Powershot when my daughter was born, it wasn't able to keep up, especially high ISO shots were so noisy (taking pic of her sleeping). Soon your baby will be crawling around, too, reliable AF-C might be even more important.

If you shoot mainly with primes, then the X-T4 has the obvious advantage of IBIS. Taking pics of your sleeping baby, for example, can be 1/15 or 1/30 for cleaner shots. The majority of your shots will be indoor low light, at least for the first few years.
