It's time to make a change.

[Cortian]

This may sound like an outrageous suggestion, but why not get one of the newer small(-ish) point-and-shoot-on-steroids cameras and keep your current kit?

A FOAF (friend of a friend) that allegedly has a metric boatload of Canon gear not long ago acquired a Sony RX10 Mk. IV and is so pleased with it he never touches his Canon gear any more. (Or so my friend says he claims.)

I have been looking for a small camera with fixed lenses to take on vacation, because I'm just not interested in hauling-around ten pounds of camera body, lenses and assorted cruft on long trips. I can't afford to go these routes, but, if I had the wherewithal, I'd look at maybe the RX10 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000?

Then save your current gear for when you really want/need the performance of changeable-lens systems and use the smaller, lighter, simpler super-zoom for more casual or travel-intensive excursions?

Wow that was quick! If you're looking for a used XT2 and kit lens, check out the Fuji buy/sell Facebook group. I've seen several XT2's on there lately. I just scored myself a 90mm f/2 for the lowest price I've seen to date - $640. Transaction via paypal. I've bought several items from those groups. You can check the feedback thread at the front of the forum to see if there person you're dealing with has some reviews.

I'm planning on buying new for the warranty. I'm okay with used glass though.

Going to check out that buy/sell group. I did join a Nikon group for that and got zero hits haha.

Congrats! I held one at a camera shop and was super impressed with the feel of it.
That's great, man! Got any glass yet?

Well I bought the kit, so it comes with the 18-55 2.8-4 that everyone loves. It will be a great start anyways. I'll buy some lenses later. No need to rush into it.

 

[zulu42]

That's so cool. How exciting. You went for it and took the plunge. It was kind of ballsy lol.

 

[Gary A.]

Good for you, Nerwin. I hope it all works out.

 

[SquarePeg]

Gary really hoped it works out.

Lol congrats! Looking forward to your thoughts on the switch I hope it renews the inspiration and joy in Photography that you said had been missing lately. It did that for me.
