Full Magnesium Body on x-T5?
1

Does the x-T5 still have the full magnesium body like others in the X-Tx series? The reason I ask is because when I hold the 5, it just doesn't feel as substantial as the 4, 3, or 1. The build quality feels like a step down, more similar to the X-T30. Also, I haven't seen any pictures of the body shell like I have with the other bodies. This, and the lower weight, all leads me to believe that they may have changed the body.

Stanley Kubrick’s sequel to his Vietnam movie perhaps?

Make it heavier -> people criticise it for being overweight (for an APS-C)
Make it lighter -> people think it feels cheap
