Fujifilm X-T5 - Made For Photographers 

Larger battery, smaller body, flip screen, high res sensor, upgraded autofocus. I still have my xt2 and couldn't be bothered with the xt3 or 4. THIS is what I've been waiting for.

The screen also has a button on the left side to allow it to flip 45 degrees up when shooting in vertical orientation with an L bracket - just like the X-T2 and X-T3!

XT2 & XH1 owner here. I do use battery grips, but not a deal killer. However they have saved me in one type of situation that doesn't involve camera usage. Some airports are strict with the number of loose batteries one can have. I've witnessed situations where airport security made people discard extra batteries not installed in a component. On one of my trips I met another XT2 user. Both of us had 6 batteries. I had a battery grip, he didn't. Security made him toss three of his batteries as each device was only allowed two loose spares. My grip counted as a component and my 6 batteries weren't questioned. Since that time any time I travel, I'll carry my battery grip even if I don't intend to use it.

THANK YOU. I've been so tired of seeing most camera reviews lean toward video features for so long, as someone who barely uses the video features, it's nice to see a camera and review that's about photography. I get that most of the reviewers are youtubers who are video photographers, but still. Battery grip? Don't need one as someone who takes stills, I can take the time to change batteries when need be, it's not a problem. Might at some point upgrade my X-T3 for this. I think the way Fuji does the tilty flippy thing on these is perfect. As someone who is relatively short, I use the tilting screen often when I do over the head shots, when I need to see the shot and can't reach the viewfinder.

Finally. Been waiting for the right camera to upgrade to since the X-T2. The 3 had that impossible-to-use rear dial. The 4 had the awkward screen. The H line has the SPAM dial. The Pro line got a weird screen and too much expense in the optical vf. The E line has like 2 buttons and dials on the body. Finally. Finally.

I still remember when I got my XT-4 in a (almost) perfect condition with the 16-80 f.4 for only 1.000€ back when it came out. The pre-owner thought there was a dead pixel on the sensor and thought it's not worth any more money, in fact it was a dead pixel on the screen.

He is so cool and calm I don’t know if there’s any other RU-vidr like him with so much knowledge. Thanks for sharing about xt5 yes I will get one .

I absolutely love Fuji cameras. My bank account however, does not.

I just enjoy watching you play with all these high end amazing cameras. Kinda picture myself in your shoes while watching.

Best apsc ever made! I love it!! Paired with the 56 1.2 a true beast!!

This was the most fun X-T5 review I’ve seen. Brilliant.

now the x-t4 price will drop perfect timing thanks fuji!

That short video stats segment was amazing. Love to see it

When ever i see these production release campains like this one i always hope to see how they perform under very poor light conditions.

Loving the content drop ❤

Nice one Kai enjoy your style on these

I like Kai when he's improvising the review.

I love how 10 bit 4k is an afterthought in video now. Lol.

just got mine love it

Got the xt-4 second hand while in japan at the beggining of the year, the only thing i dont like is the tilty flippy screen, sad i didnt wait

Time for me to get an XT-2!

Great review Kai

I’ve never had an issue with the tilting screen, as a matter of fact, if you’re gonna be the camera operator and not vlogging, it’s better than a flippy screen in my eyes

I still use the xt1 today, but i think i will upgrade to the xt5. But still, the xt1 holds up great, no one ever had a complain about my image quality.

Lovely. I’m looking forward to the new generation of X-E and X-Pro. I 💚 fujifilm’s rangefinder-style cameras. It might be too soon to upgrade from my X-E5, though. ;)

I like those dials, they look cool, and they are very practical -- just one glance and you know they are set on A where you want them.

Love it! Thanks

Yeah!

I like the left flip display on my sony a7iv because it reminds me of my favourite gadget from modern warfare, that always flapped on the left side: the heat signal radar XD

The xt100 which was a failure of a camera had a flip out screen that also could tilt which has allowed me to take photos at interesting angles without contorting my body. I wonder why they didn't put that kind of screen on this camera?

What Fuji instax printer can I connect to the camera when printing JPEGs for people? My Fuji SP2 printer has been discontinued and I want to print from the camera not from a smart phone.

Be interesting to see the AF vs Canon r10/r7. Most modern cameras capture good enough images. I am far more interested in AF/IBIS etc.

some reader at dpreview questioned the quality of the black paint on the top of the camera, around the dials and such. they felt it looked "cheaply" done for some reason. do you still have the camera? any thoughts on the black paint on the top of the camera? qualitywise?

LOVE THE TILTY SCREEN

Hoping they put this screen onto the Xpro4.

I use my XT4 like a film camera by flipping the screen "shut" (protection mode?) and I'll really miss that feature in the XT5

This is a good sign for Fuji's general health, the guy whose face Kai taped to a balloon had me worried. Hopefully more photo-centric cameras are on the way.

Fujifilm gets a dedicated photographer camera 📷 😍 Again, live view makes wotkflow faster

i would like a vertical grip still.

hey kai, just came across this video, been watching you since the digital rev days 🙂 and love your stuff. but what i would like to ask you is how you take such great photos with glasses on? i have recently started due to really poor eyesight now and nearly every photo i take is blurry, can u help with any advice. thanks man, appreciate it, and keep up the great videos, going to get an xt5 for vacation in dec, is it any good ?

What watch is that you're wearing?

What lens was Kai using?

The removal of the video recording time limit alone is a big upgrade for me. However I'm gonna have to wait for the price to drop

Quietly waiting for the Fujifilm XS-1 😉

I personally thought this is Fujifilm’s way of apologizing to the X-H series after topping the X-H1 with X-T3 merely months between releases.

Not photography related but Kai always has good looking watches are they vintage?

Great Video

Fantastic now put the chip, processor and flip up screen on an xpro body!

so its basically the same camera as the xt4? I don't see the upgrade? 6k?

I think the IBIS is dependent on the focal length. Somewhere I heard someone say “IBIS - seven stops at 35mm”.

Shoshin ni modoru - go back and remember the feeling of being a beginner. That's what I miss about photography. If a company can focus just on the basics again without video as well. Fuji had it good with the original X100 and Pro1 but then they became like everyone else.

It's kinda funny how everyone has the same reaction with any new camera on the market "oh yea it has like pff Idk 40MP and IBIS and big battery with how the fck knows how much dynamic range and ISO very high and very low and it has lenses and 2 SD card slots and yea just the usual so let's wait another month for the new one maybe they give us something new" Love you Kai is not your fault and I'll always enjoy your content xD

what watch u use kai

Any info on the XPro 4?

Will the xt5 and the xh2 be approximately the same price? Do you know if both will come with a "kit" lense?

looks great, wish they could make it slightly smaller on the next upgrade!

what's the watch Kai?

Trying to decide between this and a 40mp Sony A7r iii. I really want to know which has better af? Anybody know?

Waiting for XT2 and XH1 to go down with their price!

Not much of an upgrade from the XT-4. Remember, you have to upgrade your storage too! 40mp is BIG. Definitely not necessary too. Awesome upgrade is your coming from the XT2 or 3

I know it’s not a full review but really seemed like there’s nothing really jumps out or is super enticing about this… i only recently picked up an xt3 and looks like I’ll be holding onto it for a while.

I just wish they’d put the super cool Fujinon logo from the XPro1… so much cooler… and no doubt at the heart of great photos

Can someone tell me how far you can flip the screen when holding the camera vertically. So far I have only seen how people flip the screen when holding it horizontal.

Now that you got the macro on, does it do focus stacking in camera? Like the R7 and R10?

We need a monochrome version with a dozen black and white sims.

Hi Kai!

Awesome video :)

Am I the only one who would like a X-t5 but with the fully articulated screen...??? You will tell me X-H2... but I want it small and silver too! I currently have an X-S10 but I can't stand the weak battery anymore. With the X-S10 I'm constantly swaping batteries... I hate this.

I still got my xt1 😂😂. I love it

The day a camera company defies physics and makes a FF camera with this form factor and lens size, I will be a happy man!

Thank you very much, great video! I love my sony A1 and the lens selection but frankly their lack of substantial/meaningful firmware updates is embarrassing! Even for their "Flagship camera". Focus breathing compensation came out with A7SIII (OCT 2020) and still not available for the A1!!!! So I don't see the new focus stacking (A7RV) making its way to other models. Also $1200 for a CF express type A is disgusting!!!

Does it support cfexpress type B card?

Is this made in japan or somewhere else?

Would you rather have a GR III ?

0:40 It's a 3-way tilt LCD, not 2-way.

I need caamera that gets a kazillion shots on one charge... and the autofocus has to be able to capture beams of uv light while maintaining 100 frames per second.....and be able to go under water to 100 feet...

With price well south of 2K quids, Fuji could some some great 1 and 2 lens packages undercutting Full from competition

was looking to buy h2s but i might as well save some money and get t5 and maybe get a new lense it will be major upgrade from t1 anyway 😂

The camera is not deep learning while using it, because there is no automatic way with new photos taken to reward or punish the neural net for it. Maybe if you could afterwards give it feedback(infocus/oof), but this is probably too complicated for the end user and likely to harm performance if done incorrectly. They trained a neural net with the method called ´deep learning´. The neural net, after itˋs trained for all different modes acording to the needed subjects, will aquire focus like it‘s an algorithm for each specific mode, but probably a lot quicker and less prone to error. That’s very simplified. The camera looks good, i probably will sell my x-h1 kit, which is somewhat disappointing in the focus department and get the x-t5.

With the X-T5 arriving soon, is this end of the XPro line, where is the XPRO4? No love for the XPro users?

So is the difference between the H2 and the X-T5 just the form factor? Less dials?

Me want a new x100 variant

Does it mean I cant mount L bracket on this design?

X-T5 is better than X100V ? im noob about that

Which one is faster on auto focus, sony or fuji ?

"I don't remember it being good" haha

The only feature of interest is the IBIS. But the lack of headphone jack makes it not great for video. Though the video specs are nothing to sneeze at. Sure you can use an external recorder, but thats just more stuff. Guess I'll stick with my XT3. Maybe pick up a used XT4 which will surely be dropping in price.

why didn't they put this screen on x-h2?

No battery grip? :C

I am waiting for new X100 generation, anyone ?

Their has never been an issue with the camera since the X-T3 in "detecting" the subject, the real issue is does it focus. This is the biggest issue. You showing us it can detect, that's cool and we know it can do that, but you didn't talk about how many were out of focus. Sure it's preproduction, but focusing will not be one of those things that will be tweaked.

I can afford this camera but then I wouldn’t be able to afford anything else 😅

I'm glad the screen goes back to what the photography god intended.

Time to upgrade from my X-E1… finally.

My parents get those big stick insects on their deck on a regular basis.

Will Fuji actually be able to supply enough of these for them to not be always out of stock everywhere? I'm not talking pandemic supply chain problems, pretty much the only two Fuji models you could get before the pandemic was the X-T30 and X-Pro3, the prior because everyone wanted the X-E4 or X-T3, the latter because of the polarizing rear displays. I'll be interested when an X100 comes out they can keep in stock so they don't cost 2k used. It'll prob be that new at this point with them claiming "NEW SENSOR HIGH RES" bull that isn't needed anyway. At this point an X-Pro3 with a 23 or 27mm lens is there same price and easier to get than an X100V. The new 35mm equivalent lens in the X100V is a lot better than the interchangable lens version along with other parts. If only OM would get enough money from their new overlords to make a new Pen-F that's weather sealed with the same internals as the OM-5 with the OM-1 menus like the 5 should have. I've had a lot easier time with OM-1 raw files than my X-T3, and the sample jpeg and raws from the OM-5 have been great too (should be, it's basically just an EM-1.3).

Somehow fujifilm manages to push its flagship cameras (X H 1 and X H2) to the backseat. But why? What's wrong with X-H2 ?

Is it just me or is the frame rate a bit off in this video?

I don't care about the battery grip, but I got to play with an X-S10 a while ago, and I really love the bigger grip on the side of the body. Kind of wish the X-T5 was shaped more like that.

And made for filmmakers and videographers too. We don’t want the side hinged selfie screen, none of us shoot ourselves whilst working. Only RU-vidrs think we want the side hinged rubbish. The tilt screen is perfect, the side hinged flippy screen is too slow, cumbersome and obtrusive. Thanks.
