I own a Fujifilm X-T1. I was hoping to be persuaded by what I saw, and to some extent I was, but:I love the look of the XE5, but no weather seals? And the body on the cable in the shop looked scuffed around the top plate. It looked easy to scuff. A price of £1299? Might as well buy the X-T5.But the X-T5 is a big, brutal looking lump. An ugly design in both black or silver. Larger and heavier than my graphite finish X-T1, which is a much prettier design.This camera will need a grip making it larger and heavier, moving away from small and light in a way I don’t much like.The boy in the shop didn’t know if the X-Pro3 was discontinued and whether or not it would be replaced. I don’t want to waste time in a high end photo boutique with clueless sales personnel.Conclusion? If it had been weather sealed the X-E5 would have been of interest. The cameras were very expensive. Build was good, but it wasn’t extraordinary; That it wasn’t extraordinary was quite evident.The arrangement in the store meant I could not insert my memory card and shoot a few frames, nor could I use my own lens (doubtless if I’d asked…..) but the aforementioned salesman put me off. That kind of pointless interaction wastes time and grates on the nerves.I think I’ll hold on awhile longer with my X-T1.Frankly, if Fuji keep on like this I may drift away to a Panasonic LUMIX S9 mk2 or something of that kind. I’ve been waiting a long time for something better and increments don’t interest me.We didn’t particularly wants it, my precious.Maybe I’m getting old.
