Re: 10 Years of Fuji: was it worth it? Those upgrades over time? Mostly full res pics

I originally didn't mind "sluggish" but then after you drive a Morris Minor at 55km/h you feel like it would be nice to do 80 ...

My gripes kicked in when I "thought" I had some pics in focus only to find out on my 30" screen that some pics were a touch "out". Where it mattered.

I would love to try an X-T5 and see how it goes, my Q2 has a 51Mpx sensor (47Mpx cropped) and I had a few cameras in the 40+ Mpx bracket, so not convinced that I personally would benefit big time from using the 40Mpx sensor, but testing it, I would like!

Might get one when the market has cooled down and I have seen some really great pics where I would say that it would have been a shame to use a lower resolution sensor.

hehe... I like N/A engines vs. turbo cars purely for the responsiveness even though modern turbos don't have much lag these days.  Just not a lot of character anymore.

Honestly I'm using the Q2 more than my Fujis these days - there's a lot in those 47mps and I do like the lens quite a bit.  The Fuji SOOC jpegs are still better but now with Topaz Photo AI as my main RAW processor it is just as easy to play with RAWs as it was to play with the Fuji jpegs.

I need to spend more time with the X-T5 to make a real judgement though.  So far really digging the 30 2.8 macro as a walkaround lens.
