Sell Fuji XT3 or XH1 to buy XT5?

Re: Sell Fuji XT3 or XH1 to buy XT5?
5

Having owned all 3 my thoughts are thus:

  • The X-T3 is twice the camera of the X-H1. The X-H1 gets a lot of love (which I can understand) but if you want up to date features (or the best features you can afford) the X-H1 is not that camera. It was long in the tooth even when it was released let alone now. 
  • Personally, I don’t find the X-T5 a massive upgrade from the 3. 3 to 4 pretty much saw the introduction of IBIS and that was it. I can’t honestly say I have noticed an improvement in my photography moving from the 4 to the 5. Yes the 5 has the higher MP sensor (which is nice) but it’s honestly nothing to write home about. 

The point I suppose I’m trying to make is, you will see a bigger improvement/jump in moving from the X-H1 than from the X-T3. If you like the ergonomics of the X-H1 (top plate etc) then an X-H2 or X-H2S would be an excellent addition alongside the X-T3 IMO.
