No urge to upgrade to Fuji X-T5 - 40mp?

Back in the day I had no problems enlarging a well exposed D70 6MP image to 20x30 for my brother-in-law.

I still shoot some sports and action and I will be buying the X-T5 for the improved autofocus. Birders that shoot Fujifilm might upgrade for the same reason.

Well, I'm upgrading my X-T3 and buying the X-T5, but not for the 40MP. Rather, for the AI focus and the extended battery life. To each his own.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The old D70. I had one of those.

As a corollary to your post, I have no desire to purchase/upgrade any of my photography equipment. I have quite enough and it all works rather well.

I have a habit of buying a new drill each time one comes to market, however, I always end up drilling the same type of holes over and over.

I have an XT-5 on order, not as an upgrade but because I want a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera - don't have one at the moment - and I'd like it to be another Fuji.
No point in buying an XT-4 as it (so far) doesn't seem that there will be enough price difference to make it worthwhile, and why buy old tech when new is available. Plus, the XT-5 seems to have some substantial advantages:
- I don't need a huge pixel count but do like to crop heavily sometimes to accommodate the lack of a fleet of lenses.
- auto focus seems much improved, both in terms of speed and picking up eyes.
- no idea what I'll do with 1/180,000 electronic shutter speed but it might be fun to play with.

GAS is usually unproductive, except for the camera companies. Most of the features on modern camera, in my opinion, just make photography more complicated than it needs to be.

One advantage of having many drills is being able to find one when you want one.

And you don’t have to ask, “Which drill should I use?”

Interesting...I guess we really do not need 10% of all the camera hype from the big manufacturers after all...
