For sure I don`t know how you use your camera, but based on this statement (and I do not want to be offensive) you are not a demanding user. I own an A1 and I own an X-T5 and from AF system point of view, these are on the 2 ends of the market for any camera released in the last 2 years above USD1000.

Who do you think you help when you imply, that the X-T5 AF system is as good as the A1 AF system? Fuji had AF issues. Fuji worked on the AF, it got better, but still behind the market. Fuji still have a lot do. /And we keep buying Fuji products to support them in their efforts./

I don’t know about the other cameras, but the X-H2S isn’t far behind the A1, and in some circumstances better - such as when hair is in front of the eyes using eye AF.

Wish people would make actual side-by-side video comparing the X-H2s vs A1/R5 etc with different environment/subject instead of making anecdotal subjective claims.

Tried out a X-H2s myself after hearing those glowing comments but was left with mix feelings. AF while much better was definitely not close to what sony/canon can offer.
