I think the X100V works best as your only camera. You fall in love with it and take it with you everywhere...I did love mine but the newer xh2s is so much better. Having a good compact fast zoom is great too.

I think this is largely true. It’s probably also a great companion to an X-Tx or an X-H (and when I bought it, I was largely using the X-T2). Alongside an X-Pro or an X-E I think it makes less sense.

Yes a great companion to a larger body or even work gear of another brand.

I would personally wait for the xe5 though and then sell my xe3 and xt4.

Well, this is the thing… in a way I’d be interested in waiting for an X-Pro4, an X-E5 or a GR IV. But you can wait for along time (especially these days) and in any case the chances are that none of those may evolve quite the way I hope they might,

I have a feeling it we may get something this year...X100V is almost 3 years old. It's great to be able to sell it for more than we paid lol.

Bottom line is that it's a great time to sell the X100V unless you're truly deeply in love with it and you have no other camera.

I seem to be talking myself round to that 🙂

I think my main reservation is that I’d have to use the X-E4 in a completely different way to how I use the X-Pro2 and the X100V, but that may b pe a good thing in many ways (though not so much for muscle memory…)

Well good luck with your decision haha. If I could find an X-E4 right now, I would sell my X-E3. All these smaller Fujis seem to be in high demand atm with people looking for X100V alternatives. Surely things will settle soon...or at least with a new release?

However, I'll be patient and see what's coming this year (if anything). XH2s is keeping me occupied for now.
