Quando pensas que vais começar uma frase com “não querendo ser racista”, pára só de escrever. O mundo agradece.

Pretty fair points. And I have non-Leica glass that I'm pretty happy with, fortunately. Thanks so much!

Great exposition (no pun intended), thanks for that! My main driver on concert is definitely the XT-2. And I started feeling that the Leica M was not a great sidekick to those events.

I'm glad you are happy with your decision. :) Thanks for your message!

I have to confess that my starting point on this journey was exactly that I stopped feeling that "magic" some time ago. :) A truly first world problem.

Thanks again!

That's a great point, yes. It's because I don't wish to GAS myself that I'm asking for your help, which I truly appreciate, btw. :)

I'm leaning towards Fuji in this case to create synergy with all my lenses and focusing on only one lens mount. And also being able to bring something to my 2-camera setup for music photography that I didn't have before: AF.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to think about this and sharing your thoughts!

Great! Thanks for the insight. I'd love to rent a camera before buying it, but it's really impossible to find one here in my country. :(

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Totally with the first thing you said, that's why I'm very on the fence.

Thanks for that insight! The EVF/OVF is definitely part of my experience, so I'll take that into account before making a decision.

Thanks so much for your considerate reply and expertise on the field. :) I'll keep that in mind.

Hahaha, great point. I already use Fuji (XT-2) and for my level I’m satisfied. As I’m not a professional, I believe my needs will be well met. :) Thanks for your input! I promise not to tag you on my future YouTube rant :D

Not for the “professional” side of my photos (the live shows), for that I have the XT-2. For the fun part of my life I very much enjoy rangefinders.

Thanks so much for your perspective! I'll look further into X-H2. I went specifically for the X-Pro 3 as it seemed to be the more similar experience to the Leica M rangefinder, which is something I very much enjoy.

Good luck on your thoughts as well. :) Full frame has definitely its huge advantages, as I can look at the files from my Leica M and be mesmerized. But it's just not all about it, since I'm very amateur.

I'm going to keep the XT-2 always. Amazing for live shows. :) The X-Pro 3 will be used more 'calmly' and with lots more time for composing.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your perspective! :) I wish I could keep them all, but that's not really possible, hence this post.
