I still have M43 but now it collects dust pending Ebay

Yeh it is confusing - it is because you could return your XT3 and then still try and claim so they make you wait 30 days.

I would like Lumix GX8 style XE4/XPRO 3 with large tilting EVF  and a tilt screen, IBIS and E Ink top screen like the XH1 -optical viewfinders are history now.

I hope so.   They might be tempted to copy Nikon & Canon's new releases so they can say we have that too.

I favour the 18-135 with 10-18 and the tiny SEL 20 F2.8 for when I want to be compact.  I do sometimes use 16-50 but time to power on annoying and seems a bit low contrast! There are lots of ...

XT3 Design cost= cost of changing badge on XT2? No wonder there is price drop.

I would like to see Sony match these new lenses from Canon-quality and price.   They have been slow with releasing 35mm f1.8 where Nikon and Canon know you have to cover the basics first, with a ...

Not me. I already have M43 & Sony FE which is great.

Beautiful images: I have travelled around Kyrgyzstan 2016. It a very unique country more horses than people!

EVF is poor with limited diopter adjustment. No flash, no grip, no tilt screen.   I think it is over priced for what it offers. IQ is of course usual Fuji.

Better face and eye recognition

I think xt3 is going to have a weak usp.  I can only see high  speed and incremental improvements.   Ibis would be of more interest to most buyers. I think that is why it will be cheaper tha. Xt2 ...

Search on you tube i have seen test videos there.  From memory G9 is best vid AF

Gx8 weakness was no ibis in video and shutter shock.  The electronic shutter is quite fast though and i use it most of the time with no issues.

Yes all true. My comment about holding back is regarding camera features rather that sensor tech.

Well phone sensors are tiny and very sucessful so logic tells me any camera/sensor has to be noticeably better than that or have better useability/featurers  to be popular.   So it is up to ...

I have owned sony for years.  No sensor dust problems!

10-18 my favourite travel lens, and selfies/v log just hold the lens dont even need a stick. At 10mm.  Add the 20mm 2.8 for ultra portable and your 18-105.   Low light performance is so good you ...

Sony A73 price adjusted the market.  The market makes the prices things sell at.

Unfortunately no houseboats - I think they are in Srinagar, I would love to go but I will be trekking Markha Valley in Leh  -more mountains and monasteries!    Issues will be weight, dust and ...
