Sounds like GAS to me - believe me I’ve experienced it enough times myself! It’s taking every fibre to hold off on the X-H2S - although he fact it isn’t in stock anywhere also helps

As a hobbyist, the X-T3 is plenty of camera and you were probably right about skipping the X-T4, it’s basically an X-T3 with IBIS. If IBIS is not important then it’s not worth the cost IMO.

If you have an itch that must be scratched I would suggest you would gain much more from investing in the 18mm now and pairing it with your X-T3 - so I voted for the final option however I would just leave it at that and forget about the 40mp sensor for a few months and wait for the hype to die down.

I am primarily a hobbyist myself with a 9-5, but I do shoot some freelance stuff in my free time which basically feeds the hobby - it stops the Mrs complaining anyway
Even with the lightish workload I have I would find it very difficult to justify an X-H2S for myself as much as I would love to have one.

All that said, if someone has the cash for an X-H2S and it makes them happy as part of their hobby then have at it I say - it’s not a cheap hobby that’s for sure but there are plenty more expensive hobbies out there!
