I once have the XT4, i couldnt stand the autofocus. Bought the A7cii, outstanding autofocus but I couldnt stand the colors. Sold it and bought an XT5. So far im happy with my decision. The autofocus is not Sony level but its enough for my needs. I really miss the Fuji colors 💪😎

Got mine last month and testing it for few weeks now alongside my x-t2 and x-t3…x-t5 is everything that me as an x-t user ever wanted…tactile feel, with improved ergonomics and handling, more battery juice, fantastic ibis, better screen and evf, boosted image quality…everything is just perfect for me…AF is more than enough for events with newer lenses, although it could always get better thorough firmwares and updates

@Iamtongue 4 месяца назад

Yup it’s a great upgrade 😀 and I don’t know how many updates they need to get their af right. But it’s decent enough.

@lighthunter1980 3 месяца назад

I moved from a Canon EOS R to an X-T5 and absolutely no regrets. I think the Canon AF was slightly more sticky even on the older EOS R but the X-T5 is not far behind if at all. The latest 3.0.1 firmware promises AF improvements. I was out shooting today with the new firmware but didn't notice a big difference. I got a lot of keepers from my toddler and only very few out of focus so overall very happy. More important is the shooting experience, weight and bulk savings, and the amazing out of camera jpgs. I love this camera. I currently have the 18/1.4 and 33/1.4 LM WR lenses. Both are amazing wide open and fast to focus.

@71co0k 4 месяца назад

Just bought one (sold my XT4). I can say, having had the T2 - T4, the build quality is just as good as the previous ones, possibly better. It feels like they "perfected" the weight to strength ratio of the magnesium alloy. Lighter weight, but clearly still as durable.

I really hope that Fuji will make the leap in AF that I want with the next series (XH3's?). I fell so in love with the system and the only thing that, in my opinion, holds the system back from really keeping up with the big boys is the AF. Imagine a Fuji XH3 with the AF of, say, a Sony Alpha 6700. That would be absolutely awesome. Above all, the liability of the autofocus when there are several targets in front of the lens kills me every now and then. If that gets fixed, fire away. then Fuji can be at the forefront

@hanns1401 2 месяца назад

I feel the same. So much to love, but subject eye detect AF isn't one of them. When one pays a premium for very sharp lenses, it's a shame they're let down by the camera's AF system which gives me slightly out of focus results. Single point AF works great, but it's a shame I can't depend on the subject tracking. The false positive green box thing is especially annoying.

I also like how the screen information shifts vertically when rotating the camera into portrait mode. Nikon and Leica have caught on and are now doing that. It seems like a small thing but once I got used it, I find it hard to use a camera that doesn’t have this feature.

Yes, I’ve had my XT5 for about a year now also! If you have the latest lenses with the linear motors in them, the auto focus is pretty good. Otherwise you’ll end up using limit focus a lot. So far, no problems with the XT5, where the XT4 had to send it in twice for repairs. Hopefully the XT6 will be just right for auto focus? But for street photography, I’m pretty satisfied. I actually prefer the XT5 over the pro series cameras because of the size. I’m not sure I’ll buy another pro series. I definitely did not buy the X100 VI. Too limited for my taste, although I’m sure it’s great for point and shooters. 🤙

I've had mine for about a year. I've used the XH2 more. I think in the first 6 months I preferred the XH2 and maybe that was a familiarity thing. The XT5 was a second body for events mostly, being the same sensor as the XH2 and owning 2 of the same camera was a bit boring. Despite coming from an XT2, I like the PASM dial and really appreciate the custom spots on it. I really really prefer the exposure compensation dial on the XT5 vs the XH2 though. The XT5 is my go to for street photos and personal use. The textured cover around the XH2's grip is starting to become unglued which is annoying for a 18mth old camera. I have used it a lot, but still ...

@@IamtongueThanks for the perspective. I was debating on the X-H2S when I bought the X-T5 because it was supposed to be better for action shots due to the CF Express card, but portability won me over. Plus I want to focus on the portrait side before getting into sports shooting. Not that the X-T5 can’t but I think you mentioned in your other videos how the buffer can fill up and I’ve experienced it. Not a big problem, I just have to be more mindful with my shots.

I do think your review is fairly accurate. However, as an XT-5 owner for 8 months now, I find the auto-focus very adequate. I'm not pro-photographer, but serious hobby shooter. One issue I find no one mentions... I forgot to turn off the camera after some recent shots taken. Today I find the battery dead!! Why, why can't Fuji do what Canon does and have a standby mode and then an auto power-off feature. Standby for a while with screen unlit and then off after a user configurable time period. Good thing I had a spare battery but I never had this issue with my Canon 5D IV.

Hmmm…without going to my manual I'm going to say you might want to double-check that ‘no auto-off’ because I'm sure it does. Might there be a setting for that?

Switched to Fujifilm from Canon after a year of X100v ownership (true love). Sold my Canon gear and bought an X-T5. Struggling a bit with the lenses. 16-80 is ok in the middle of the focal range, elsewhere… meh. The 10-24 a little better. Got a 16 f/2.8 which is pretty good. Hoping that pairing a Sigma 18-50 with the wee 16mm Fuji will give me the ‘portable’ landscape gear that I’ve been searching for. I stopped saving jpegs a while ago (I simply use the camera profiles in Lightroom to get started with edits) as the file sizes are starting to get ridiculous, especially if you save TIFF files after a Photoshop tweak. I think I need a summer to get the most from my X-T5 - the dark winter days here in Scotland don’t help any camera, but the X-T5 does seem more noisy than the X100v and my old Canon gear. Overall, very pleased with the handling and user experience, but the jury’s still out on image quality. Admittedly this could be as much to do with my skills when working with a more technically demanding 40+ megapixel APSC sensor.

The Nikon is great if you don’t mind there are only two lenses for it, realistically. Once you grab a 24-70 or 70-200 or, heaven forbid, a flash, the ergonomics will be as bad as the XT5 with no way out (no battery grips)! Just sayin.

The AF test with the 33mm at around 8:06 where she walks towards and then past the camera is exactly where I have issues. It shows a green box all the time, but when reviewing at 100%, the ears or hairs are in focus, not the eyes, it’s lagging behind, regardless the settings. Are yours in focus?

@beepneldo 4 месяца назад

The interesting thing is that the problem almost disappears when the subject is stationary. The camera knows where the eye is and if you give it enough time, it eventually nails. But if the subject moved in the meantime, it still focuses to the outdated calculated distance. The promised update for spring 2024 mentions that it will have improved prediction algorithms for AF tracking. I hope that will improve at least a bit 🤞

@matt88169 4 месяца назад

I’d like someone to do the test with single point, AF-C tracking and compare results. That is more meaningful to me since I don’t find face/eye useful unless I’m working closer to the subject. Yes it would be nice to trust the face/eye AF but it overrides whatever your AF-C settings are anyway, so either the camera hits or it doesn’t and I am not convinced Fuji has poured resources into improving it. But I think the added processing power has helped AF-S and AF-C modes a lot. There is also focus priority…sometimes a good idea-XT3 slows down at times in focus priority so I know it’s lost focus. I then release the button and re-acquire. Also shut off extraneous crap like exposure preview-it sucks up processing power. Finally, for some reason, I seem to do way better when I go into CH mode-the camera tends to nail focus and of course give me like 10-20 shots. I shoot CL the most but I swear the AF misses more. BTW all AF tests are meaningless unless we know/try different lenses. They all perform a little differently.

How good is XT5 compared to XH2S for sports photography/videography? I don't have the budget for XH2S right now per se, should I save for the letter or just go with XT5? I currently use the XT4, love everything about it besides the Auto Focus of course.

The XH2s would be the camera to get. It’ll perform much better for sports. The xt5 has a shitty buffer it’ll crap out.

I have to laugh a little when I hear complaints about AF issues. I think that you are correct, but your use case goes beyond what most of us out here are doing with out cameras. Meanwhile, I'm shooting with the X-T3 and still enjoying it. The only time I've ever had AF issues was when I shot portraits like you. I did some shoots with my daughter and for a few HS graduation shoots. But, I was also using the old XF56 f1.2 with the old motors. When I shoot with the XF90 f2 it's rarely a problem. I love that lens btw! Really nice overview of this system. Have a great day!

Yo tongue fully agree with your AF statement there. I have the xh2 and it is definitely accurate by 90% of the time but sometimes you just wanna blow it up because a very promising looking image just fell short on nailing the focus :( Would you say the xh2s nails the focus more accurately than the xt5? Like on a wedding for example, would you say the xh2s nails it?

@Iamtongue 4 месяца назад

No, I feel the xh2s still runs into that issue. I think it's alot better at tracking and photographing action than it is hunting down a person's IRIS.

Hi Tongue thank you for the review.. it's very good! But I have a few questions about this camera: 1. Is there is any difference when you edit 40mp raw files vs 26mp raw files.. because I still use old laptop, I am afraid editing the 40mp files will be very hard on my laptop. (So far so good on 26mp files from XS10 2. How about rolling shutter from this camera? especially for video work.. is it bad or not? 3. The low light performance, is it better from 26mp camera like XS10/XT-4 or not? because I see many different opinion about 40mp sensor in fuji camera.. someone say it's better but the others say it's worse Thank you.. hope you answer my questions 😊 Currently I am using XS10 for 2 years and a half now but so tempted to upgrade to XT-5 haha 😂

@Iamtongue 4 месяца назад

1. I cannot say, I have a m1 max ever since so it works well. 2. It depends on the user, shooting 4k i havent experienced any roller shutter, I don't do crazy whips or pan. 3. The low light performance is as good as the 26 mp sensor. The XS10 is still a great camera for photography, but video specs are meh.

@matt88169 4 месяца назад

Higher mp cameras are better for low light, not worse. If you made very large prints out of both it would be apparent that more MP is nice to have. In terms of pixel peeping, you will be depressed UNLESS you scale the images properly-all else equal the higher mp camera will tend to look more detailed as ISO goes up. The rolling shutter of the 40 mp sensor is worse than the old 26mp sensor. It’s not a big deal unless you are panning constantly or shooting from a fast moving vehicle. File sizes are larger so indeed if you don’t really need the extra resolution consider a body with lower resolution.

@@elnandowongkar5703 I don't know what "regular" means. Chances are, if you don't see jello on your X-S10, you won't see it on an XT5. Rolling shutter is worse recording at the maximum resolutions, so if you don't do that, it helps. X-S20 might be a better choice for you if you are really worried about it and can't afford the XH2S.

@Iamtongue 3 месяца назад

They do have some issues, it's not best AF system out there. It also depends on what you shooot as well. When I shoot portraits, I like to tell the models to add some movement in the shot, so I would ask them to move around and spin. And in that situation it hits about 70% of the time. It's not bad but it's not the best considering sony is 95% and higher. But it all depends on your shooting situation.

@hobonickel840 3 месяца назад

@@Iamtongue I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the reply and so much so I'm greedily gonna ask another question. The subject being encouraged to move freely is something of a better work flow in my mind, having never thought about it, it makes more sense and would create more spontaneous opportunities in a shorter amount of time. Hillywood seeded the idea the photographer was the doing all the moving and the subject only moved when instructed. I just realized I like film cameras more than photo cameras because I'm a lil lazy but luv fishing! lol Last question.. Is that the system or brand you began with? I can't afford to start out with a GFX100ii and it's inspiring seeing the pro workspace you creative around the BM system. I must admit that lidar rig makes it look more pro than any other pro I've seen and I would not bet on Sony being better from first or last impressions alone. The overall aesthetic of your rig is on point and destroys in the overall visual narrative. You so creative your system is even a work of art. If you could start over would you go the same route?
