Upgrading / Changing Camera, but to what?

We currently have a Canon set up as follows:

6D Body
24-70 f2.8 USM L II
50mm f1.4 USM
40mm STM Pancake
EX430 Speedlight flash

We’re looking for something with improved quality and more compact but retaining flexibility of lenses.

Tech has moved on a lot since we bought this gear and the picture we get on iPhones are impressive by comparison. Where do we go from here? What we have is probably worth £1200 and we can go to £1500-£2k all in for the right set up (so the Leica Q2 I want is out 🤣).

Thanks.

Ooh, thanks. I’ll do some research.

If going for a fixed lens per suggestion above, I'd look at the new Fuji X100vi, £1,700 new and a lot more up-to-date. Only problem is you'll have to join a long queue to buy one (or maybe pick up the prior version X100V for a better price).

Alternatively if going for an ILC I'd probably go for Sony, maybe the A7C.

the canon EOS R that i had for sale at a very low price, plus an adaptor so you could use your current lenses on it

The Fujifilm XT-4 on SC at the moment is a very compelling price for what is apparently an excellent camera. I did think hard about the XT-5 on SC a month or so ago but I have an X100V and Nikon Z7 and don't really want to sell the latter. I've been very impressed with the X100V (like my X100S before it) and from what I've seen of the photos out of the XT-4 and -5 I suspect it's all the camera most of us would ever need.

This post is very much appreciated.

Back in late 2019, I dropped my X1 in Shanghai & it did not bounce too well.

Then Covid hit & my plans to drop it into Leica in London for repair went out of the window.

After lockdown, Leica stopped repairing the X1 & offered a trade in deal... which I didn't want.

After reading this thread, I contacted David Slater on the above ( https://camera-focus.co.uk ) link.

The X1 is back & repaired.

Now I'm really looking forward to getting out with it again !

This place never ceases to amaze me!
