I also would like to use the camera for my vintage lenses, plus its own AF lenses. Based on my research on paper, I feel X-S10 is a better choice among X-S10, X-T30 and X-T3/4. However, when it comes down to lenses, I can't make up my mind. I prefer to have a zoom for travel and was initially interested in 16-80 but later found out it is quite big (having a 72mm filter diameter). 18-55 seems not long enough for me and 18-135m doesn't seem to have a very good reputation.My hesitation on lens choice also leads me to think if I should just buy a Tamron 28-200 and together with my A7iii as I have traveled with DSLRs before anyway.Before I make my mind, I'd like to hear any comments from Fuji users regarding X-S10 or in general Fuji cameras. Thanks in advance.Don't get me wrong, I love my Fuji, but since you already have one ILC system (Sony), I would suggest to look for a smaller and lighter setup for traveling. Sony has the RX10 IV (read great reviews) and the tiny RX100 VI which I once had and is a very capable camera with maybe the best CAF I have ever seen.

If you find the 16-80 short then the 18-135 is a great lens and can be found cheap in the used market (I will be selling mine too, as I have also the 16-80).Thanks for the comments as well. I might just go to Bestbuy to see if they have this lens for display.Happy to send you some RAW files to check IQ if you want.Thanks, no need to bother you for that. I can search online for some sample photos.Saw your other post about the all-in-one solution. I actually still prefer a camera with interchangable lenses (for my vintage lenses).

It's also fun thinking of creative ways to get the best out of a single prime when travelling.If you really want a zoom, then the 18-135 is a very under-rated but highly versatile travel zoom - but due to it's size it works best with XT bodies - so not a huge weight saving compared to Sony.Thanks. That's certainly very attractive, if I trave by meself.
