Summary:

Overall... for me I don't know that I'll be upgrading, but... putting the X-T5 and X-H2s in my hands definitely reinitiated my G.A.S. Came home, tried the face tracking on X-T3 and came away thoroughly unimpressed.

Anyway I'm hoping to head back in a few days with some SD cards so I can test image quality, buffer size/clearing speed, etc. I'll post an update when / if I can. If I had to choose between the two ATM, I'd probably still go for the X-H2s but its tough... I really want 40MP AND the stacked sensor :/

TL:DR Try them both out if you can before making a decision.

Resist the G.A.S.

Wait for X-T6/H3 maybe then you'll have 40MP stacked!

Honestly speaking that may be what I end up doing. I was using an X-Pro 2 until last month when I picked up a new/demo XT-3 at an another local big box store’s closeout fire sale.

As amazing as the new cameras are, I honestly can’t believe just how big of an upgrade the X-T3 is over my X-Pro 2. So far it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it like a champ, including (lower intensity) sports.

I really WANT the speed/accuracy/confidence of the XH-2s, but I’m beginning to have the sinking suspicion that I may not NEED it at this time. The whole reason I avoided X-Trans 4 was that I wanted a “real” sensor upgrade along with better AF, so technically this applies to the 2s as well…

But we’ll see, if the price is right I may bite…
