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.

I've owned Fuji-X gear since the X100S and X-T1 were released.  Over that time, my personal shooting preferences continuously changed.  i started primes X100S only, went primes only with the X-T1,  and am now currently back into my zoom phase ---- although on my current trip to New York City, I find myself using my 18/1.4 (never should have gone into B&H) more than any other lens.

So things can change over time.  But, if you are tempted to go all in on the X100V, why not?   I think the X100V has all of the things I enjoy about shooting Fuji-X.  You just got to be very sure 23mm focal length is right plus the X70 are all you need.

In another year, there will be an X-T5 and newer lenses.  In two years used X-T5s will be available.
