Fujifilm xt100 still good ?

Hello .. I would like to ask a question to those who own the XT100 and use other types of Fujifilm such as the XT20. Do you find a big difference in colors rendering and sharpness? I'm not talking about anything other than the Jpeg file. Do you think the XT100 is better? Why am I asking that because I am in the process of buying a new XT100 at a good price. I have an XT3 and I have heard a lot of talk about the traditional Bayer sensors compared to the modified Fuji ones.

I will use the camera for static things and maybe with manual lenses.

Most criticisms of the X100 were about it's speed of operation when it came out, these have long since been resolved. It's no speed demon but I don't have any issues with AF speed personally, it's just not as zippy as more modern cameras. In terms of IQ, it has it's own subtle rendering, I find the colour to be excellent and it's particularly good for black and white in my experience. The lens is also exceptionally sharp from F2 onwards, it's a bit softer for close up semi macro stuff but that's no issue to me either. All in all I still love mine to bits, it's the only camera I've ever bought twice ( I regretted selling the first one so bought another ). The sensor is good up to ISO 3200 in colour, 6400 in black and white. Enjoy it when it arrives, it's cracking camera whose images completely hold up for large prints, no problem, despite 'only' being 12mp.
