I would just buy the H2 for half the price from efinity or whatever they call themself these days, it will probably be better than the X-T6 except for some specs that dont really matter at all to most people. They are certainly nicer to hold and use that the XT line in my view.

Time will tell. The leak I saw was actually $1600 so there may have been Tariff mitigations included in that. There's a chance it could be cheaper in the UK/EU.
Either way, I think anything over £1000-£1100 is scandalous and, as was mentioned, it begs the question what a future X-T6 would be priced at.
Personally, I'm itching to get an order in for the 23mm lens - it will do me very nicely.

There is currently and XE4 with the 27/2.8 I think in LCE, for £1300!!!
The lens is £400 new, wasn’t the XE4 £799?
Meaning it’s £100 above RRP.

That's probably priced about right based on the current used market. The 27mm is £350ish and a good X-E4 is £900 minimum.
I wouldn't pay those prices personally and even X100v's are still well north of £1000.
If the used price and supply trend continues, scalping will become an exacerbating factor.
I had an opportunity to get a GFX50 earlier in the year for a decent price which I passed on. I’m coming to regret that as prices continue to climb with no plateau in sight. The resultant divorce solicitor fees are also climbing

Fewer people buying prosumer cameras these days which means higher prices to cover the R&D costs. The photography industry has been heading this way for over a decade, but the pandemic really hit hard.

The XT50 body has been available for almost £1000 a few times.
Yup, in a similar fashion I was recently looking at a X-T5 as an upgrade from my X-T4, but the price hasn't come down in 2.5 years. Also, with R&D slowing down, the differences between camera generations is becoming smaller.
On the flip side, I sold off my GTX medium format gear about 3 years ago and got about 80% of the initial costs about ( the losses were mainly on the cameras ... lenses held value really well ).

Oh wait, that's the XT50...I want the XT5.
edit - I need to chew on it a bit more....I probably don't need the difference in features like dual cards for personal stuff.

I have the XT5 and its a nice camera but the body is quite bulky.
I got into GFX exactly 1 year ago and since then all the gear I bought has significantly increased in price. I could easily get out of GFX right now and make a very tidy profit.If the used price and supply trend continues, scalping will become an exacerbating factor.

The X-mount market has been fairly steady in the same time, minor ups and minor downs.

the "willy waving" thread suggest there's a few S10 owners here, possibly looking at a T5 upgrade. Are there people here that's made the jump and have feedback?
I've had a S10 for a bit over a year, as my 1st decent digital camera away from a phone - mainly for family photos and record my 6 year old grow up. When the images are crisp and well focussed they're great and I can soon justify the cost compared with my phone, but I find the hit-rate of well-focussed images way below what I get from my phone. I keep thinking it's to do with the processing/AI in a modern phone. I feel it's mainly the quick "capture the moment" snaps that are the worst, where I just want to raise the camera and snap, or my kids running about the place and the AF is trying to keep up - if I've got a few seconds I can mess about with AF settings like spot vs zone and check it's crisp on the intended subject. I've played with all manner of options and AF-C settings, watching many YT guides, using higher F-stops than I would typically want just to widen the depth of field and allow for more focal-range, etc. but I still find quick moments are still a gamble - this weekend I took my daughter to pony riding, and it kept wanting to focus on the horse's mane instead of her, even when the zone frame was predominantly on the rider and it refused to track her face, presumably due to the helmet, etc. so the more "action" shots are more of the animal and not her - but the "posed" shots are great. I also recently went to a RSBP place and tried to capture what I could with my longest lens (only 230mm) and it struggled to get crisp birds in flight, no matter what I did.
Realistically, is the T5/T50 gen any better? I read comments about AF improvements, but are they actually there? Or, is it a case of either practising more, or just burst mode and accept many images will be rubbish?
I keep wondering about the T5 (compared with the t50) as I rarely use the film-sims, so that top-dial on the t50 doesn't appeal and the weatherproofing of the T5 should make it more real-world usable. But, is it just a case that the AF isn't really much better (or that the improvements of the AF are outweighed by the 40MP sensor reducing the leeway)?
