Re: X-Pro3 or X-T4 as a second camera

I've posted this before, so apologies if anyone ever reads my posts.

I spent ages with Nikon FM2n x 2 and Nikkors. I got a D200, then a D800, both logical but blimey the 800 was big and heavy, though excellent. I had an early Olympus M4/3 but it wasn't consistent. It was the only camera I had that couldn't consistently produce sharp images - shutter shock.

I saw a package deal of the X-M1 and the two XC zooms. After a while it dawned on me that I couldn't see much advantage to the D800, even looking closely at the images, and bought an X-T2. Some really careful comparisons said to me that the size of the D800 offered little or no advantage in IQ. The cost of the D850 when it came out finally made me think I'd not keep up with developments in the Nikon line and so I sold up.

The slippery slope is that you will not see any advantage to the Z6 when you have a current Fuji body and a decent lens - which they all are of course.

For me the Fuji strength is a single system ranging from big, competent and complex (X-H2s) through to small and light (X-E4 or X-T30) so you get redundancy and choice. Hence my Z50 suggestion which does the same, albeit needing DX lenses to make the real difference.
