Dear all, I am a bit torn between two decisions...sell my XT3 or sell my XH1 to have some cash for buying the XT5. I have actually tried to sell my XH1 already but I am glad I did not sell it so far because the grip, the shutter button, the top display....

My XT3 is the better camera I think. Yes I think! But it s not what I feel:-) When I look at the situation rational and my needs; Landscape, Wildflife, Portraits, Street photography the XT3 is the better camera with regard to autofocus...also looking at video capabilities I think the XT3 is the better option. At the moment i dont do much video but i have the intention to do more in the future

However it is not so easy to justify selling such an excellent camera (for stills) as the XH1 allthough i know if i have to sell one it is probably better to sell the XH1. My XT3 is more heavy used then my XH1 as the XH1 was bought as a backup body for my XT3.

The XT5 is the better camera for landscape, the autofocus is better then the XT3 and it has IBIS and better video capabilities

Any advice from your side?

The X-H1 is a 3rd gen Fuji camera

The X-T3 is a 4rd gen Fuji camera as is the X-T4.

Moving from a 3rd gen to the 5th gen camera (X-T5) will see many improvements.

Of course - the price you get for your whichever used gear you sell will reflect that fact.

The control interfaces will be closer between the X-T series than trying to mix a X-H series to an X-T interface as well.

The X-T5 has no grip - it was designed as a no grip body. Grip is reserved for the X-H2 and X-H2s in the 5th gen bodies. So personal preference.
