(cammo cape ) All sooo heavy.... I don't know which will be the mpixels the next one will have, but if it 26 as the xt3, it's fine with me. Though I must confess that the 50mpx Canon works great for birds, which are far away, as you can cut the photo and it will always look good :) Thank you so much for your answer Martin! as usual the most lovely english man!

Have since subscribed to your channel and am now leaning more towards a used X-T3 as I can get one with accessories for less money than the Z50 and a wider selection of lenses i can put some of the leftover spare change towards.
    I'm sure I'll eventually come to a decision after falling deeper into the rabbit hole and watching more videos 😅

    Good video. I am (as a TH-camr myself) especially interested in the video capabilities of the X-T3.
    One particular advantage is that , now the X-T4 has been released , there are increasing numbers of high-quality barely used second-hand X-T3's appearing on-the-market here in the UK.
    The brand-new price of the X-T3 is still beyond my budget (let alone the X-T4). But a good quality used X-T3 is a great camera at an affordable price.
    Stay safe and well Maarten.
