In your full review, your build quality comments are mainly focusing on the dials. What about the rest - the body itself, lens mount, body plate etc? Having 2 X-H1s, I am hesitant to upgrade for reasons of poorer build quality. As a mainly out in the field shooter, also with the heavier zoom lenses, I am not sure that an upgrade to the X-T5 would be a good move. This besides the smaller pixel sizes and related diffraction issue - not a positive for landscape phogography, unless one is open to using focus stacking, I understand. Would be interested in your thoughts in view of your GFX experience (also the 50 MP version) - due to the shallower DOF, focus stacking may be required as well, won't it? Thx in advance for any feedback on these points.

Hi fcracer, I would really appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Hi Dan, sorry for the delay. I’m heading out to Bali for Xmas vacation so have been tied up getting work finished before leaving. There’s a lot to unpack in the questions above so I wanted to write a proper reply. If it’s ok, I’ll need another day or two to reply.
