Hi,

Thanks - a thoughtful review.  I'm still using my one year old XT4 and have been watching the XH2 and XT5 threads closely.

Your review and personal directions hang a lot on AF.   That's fine - different aspects will appeal to different people.  I don't personally place as much emphasis on AF competence in challenging situations rather than a balanced suite of good attributes and decent AF in more routine uses.  I guess I'm in the 'largely static' group of users that you mention who might find the XT4/5 fine.  I suspect there's a lot of us.

If I were to change  - or add - a direction, it would be to become a dual system user with either a GFX50 (given that I can't afford or justify the GFX100)  or a Sony A7R4.   Sony appeals as the FF system of choice simply because I have access to lenses  - I'd only need a body.  Sometimes one has to experiment and answer all these questions for oneself.

Regards, Rod
