The X-T5 - will it expunge Fuji's sins?
16

As most of you know, I recently bailed from Fuji and swapped over to two FF cameras for all of my paid events work.  I won't delve back into all of that in this missive, but suffice to say a big part of my leap was the price of the X-H2's (around 4K for body only here in Auss), and the fact that they brought out both models with that wretched flip around screen.  They seemed to completely forget the fact that some of us never use video, therefore for the stills only photographer, we really need a choice of semi-pro/pro camera with a normal flip-out screen.

I didn't sell all of my Fuji gear, as I have kept my brilliant 16 1.4 and my X-T3.  I don't use them for paid work anymore, but will use them for my personal stuff.  Even though I love the images from my FF cameras, they are really not fun to use like my Fuji gear was.  I was solely with Fuji for over ten years, so I really did it tough needing to swap over to another brand.  I am really hoping that the coming X-T5 will have a normal flip out screen, a 40mp sensor and retain the dials.  If that is the case, I'll be the first to order.  I just read that it will be announced and available next month.  Not much longer to wait.
