I am a X-T3 user and even with sensor stabilization, weight reduction, extra megapixels and some video features, the X-T5, for again that price, is not worth an upgrade for me. It even downgraded the pre-shot ES mode frame rate which I use a lot.

These deals are also exactly the reason why upgrading is not financially beneficial. If I were to sell the X-T3 secondhand, it will have to compete with new X-T3 at a price you otherwise would have sold your used one for. You can barely get rid of your old model at €500. If you consider this, the X-T3 deal looks more attractive at 90% of the features of the X-T5. And if you want 98% of the features, get an X-T4 deal!
