Re: GFX100RF or X-T5 for user experience (compared to GFX 100s)
My thinking, in your historical story, is similar to stories long ago in forums about pixels and arguments for higher pixel counts. Too tiny of spaces between them.
The 50R, from what you seem to say, you really liked. Maybe more for the ergonomics and handling, than the images, but that is for you to decide. You felt similar feelings with your X100F...
Both had a bout the same pixel pitch or whatever they call it. You felt the X100VI felt mushy. Mushy in images? If so, a lot of people tried the VI and stuck with their V, or Older X100's, because they didn't like the "look" of the VI's 40mp sensor.
Do you feel the 100s has images that are "mushy" or otherwise, not as "pleasing" as you 50R ones? If so, that is probably your answer. You, or your eyes, don't like larger pixel counts on same size sensors. You're good with 24mp on APS-C and good with 50mp on Fuji size MF sensor. And all of that is FINE. A lot of people are like that. Of course, a lot of people think they are crazy. But I think people who buy a car that costs over $100K is crazy. So...
The 50R is old, gets some bad press now, be great if Fuji updated it, but they won't. And I'm not sure that the 100RF would make you totally happy, and those, the X-T5 wouldn't either.
Stuff to think about. Others can counter argue now.
