Agreed on the price differential between Sony and the X-T5. The review post was really useful to me. Thanks for sharing your experience and photos. As someone looking at moving from a cheaper small micro four-thirds setup to either a Fuji or FF camera, it ends up being all about compromises and personal priorities.

I tried a Nikon Z5 and liked the image quality. But the overall weight of the system meant for me it'd probably end up staying behind when I travel or hike. And I didn't love the auto-focus interface. The autofocus and quality of the A7R5 seem amazing, but it's more than 3x the price of the X-T5. I'm looking at the X-T5 as a good compromise with improved image quality, a better sensor to enable cropping when needed, and good enough improvement in the autofocus area from where I'm coming from in the price bracket of $1-2k. So it really comes down to quality for the price and size you're willing to deal with. If I decide to really prioritize image quality over size down the line, I expect the GFX line is a good upgrade or 2nd system option. I loved the images you shared from your Italy travels in other recent blog posts.

Btw, @fcracer, I tried posting to your blog, but got a 'Nonce verification failed.' error. Just fyi.
