From X100S, free upgrade to X100T or additional $236 for X100F?

Hi, I posted here a while ago about luckily getting an X100S for only $144. I love that camera even though the operation functionality is old. Now, I was able to sell it to an amount that I can get a used X100T (12300 shutter count) without adding any cash. WiFi transfer is a convenient for me, but I understand that it will be most likely same with the X100S' IQ, so searched for an X100F and saw one (5400 shutter count). I have to add $236, tho. Should I just go with the T or the additional cash is worth it for the F?

I'm gonna use it as my every day camera only.

This says go for the 100F.  I would too, partly because of the USB charging.

Grab the F. I bought a used T back then and quickly upgraded to the F for the better sensor, AF, battery life and usb charging especially, focus joystick and front dial...oh and Acros if you do jpegs.

Another vote for the F: better sensor and well-sorted controls.

Are you going to own other Fuji bodies? If so, the F will match batteries possibly. Are you taking photos of anything with movement that requires newer AF? F AF will be better. I only sold my T because I was tired of charging two different battery systems. I loved the T.

If it’s just walk around I would go with the T. I’ve owned both and prefer the images from the T. I think the 16MP pairs better with that lens. All subjective. The S has the tiny D-pad. Much better on T+. If you are getting the T in good condition for $400 or less you could always sell if for that.. a free upgrade vs adding $200+. If $200 is no big deal & you want the latest go F. All good cameras. I never use WiFi. I transfer most of my images via adapter to iPhone or iPad.

X100T has USB charging as well as far as I know.

Why did you get the S and sell it? That is what you wanted, is it not? You ended up selling it really quickly. Now it seems like you want to upgrade? So why not go for the F or better yet the V if you can afford it?

You're always going to wonder "What if I got the next level or upgraded model?" So instead of always wondering, why not just go for it? You're always going question if you're truly satisfied or not. If you get the T, I'm pretty sure you're going to create another post two weeks later asking if the F is worth it again. Yes, the T is a good camera but it was released in 2014... At least get the F (every single person here is recommending it and there's a good reason). It's an impressive upgrade over the T. Autofocus and MP alone is worth it.

I just got the S because of the deal, I didn't really intend to buy another camera because I have the XT30 already. But the deal was hard to pass up. Now, having used an X100 lineup, I'm convinced that I want to have it as well, but as I've said, it will only be a secondary camera. So I'm not yet willing to shell out for a brand new F or V.

I asked between both used T and V because $236 can be used on a different gear or something right.

Just get them both for $236. If you like the T then you can sell the F for $236, and if you like the F then you can easily give the T away.
