There is no doubt that for you the more convenient and price wise choice is the X5S, as to as you said before "future proof"? well I'm sure a couple of years ago everyone thought the X5 was "future proof". In the world of electronics there is no such thing. I have an Inspire 1 though I wanted a 2 but the price made no sense at the time, Outdated bird outdated camera which I replaced for the X5R yet another outdated camera, but guess what, I'm sure in the long run very few people when looking at my videos will say, "hey, that would look so much better if you shot it with an X5S or an X7" The great disadvantage I see with the X7 is the lenses, not in terms of quality, but just the fact that they are only going to work on the X7, that is a bit of a turn off for me. however if money is no object, and you have room for more toys, hey!
I couldn't agree more about cameras changing every year and never being future proof. your right, I highly doubt, especially when uploaded to something like youtube, if anyone could tell. It's not like the X5S is some slouch either. I'm able to get some really nice high quality stuff with my X5, so I can only imagine the X5Sto be better especially CinemaDNG 5.2K and being able to crop in. |
