Upgrade from X-T2 to X-T4 or X-T5?

Thanks much you've all given me a lot to think about, I'm going to rest on it to make sure I'm not letting the lower price of the X-T4 cloud my judgement.

I watched a few youtube videos. Of the things I care about, the X-T5 is better. Size, Flip-down LCD, Eye AF, animal AF, marginally better IBIS and battery life. And more pixels is always better. The X-T4 has only the grip option and lower price that I really care about.

The X-T4 price difference isn't really huge and it would be nice to just stick with a camera for a longer time. I briefly got a Sony A7c, hated it, and lost time and money selling it. I played it safe with the X-T2 as I bought it cheap. I could easily go another several generations if I just buy new now, knowing that I actually like to use Fuji. I will mull over these 1st world problems for a week or so.

Sound analysis and plan in all aspects. The bigger battery in the X-T4 and T5 is a big change (even with spares) - the efficiency (shots per charge) between those two bodies is minor compared to the T2 battery. Same with IBIS... you're getting almost as good performance with the T4 as the T5.

If it was me and you're keeping the T2 (I'm keeping mine as the spare), it would drive me crazy going back and forth from flippy screen to the flip down screen. But that's just me. Animal eye AF is great - at least it works really well with my dog. Not for full sprint dog run purposes, but for regular situations where the animal isn't super active.

You have a tough decision there!
