My experience with the XT5, the autofocus especially for animals and pets was great. The resolution bump was noticeable. After a few days use I noticed a dead pixel on the rear screen. Sent it back for a refund. Waited three weeks for a replacement which is still on backorder. Cancelled the backorder when I realized I'm still perfectly happy with my x100v and XT3. In the end I just couldn't justify the cost of the XT5.

@snapsbyfox Год назад

very fair point... tbh both of those are great cameras and have years left in them

@dan.allen.digital Год назад

@@snapsbyfox great video btw. I always think you do a good job telling it like it is.

@AlonzaBlackwell Год назад

@@dan.allen.digital Just wondering where you purchased it from lol? Just bought an open box from B&H with what seems to be a dead pixel in the top left corner. Super torn on sending it back.

@dyllankolinen Год назад

The dead pixels seem to be an issue with whatever screen they're using on these newer cameras, I have a friend with a XH-2S which also has a dead pixel, he also has a XT-5 so well have to see if he has any issues with it.

@makmak69L7 Год назад

Thank you so much Roman for these useful thoughts about the X-T5. I purchased the camera and I use it along with the X-T4 for travel and street photography. I use both cameras whenever I am outside shooting because simply I don’t like to change lenses on the go. My typical set up is XF 35mm F2 on the X-T5 and the XF 16mm F1.4 on the X-T4. Thanks for the tip as well. I applied it already. 😊

@CouncilOfTheWolf Год назад

You're my favorite photographer on RU-vid. I've been taking photos for almost 2 years now and take a lot of inspiration from your photos and try to learn from them. I have an X-T30 and am waiting for my X-T5 to arrive now.

@joe_a_photo Год назад

@sshmus Год назад

Great video. Just got mine X-T5 in black with 16-80mm for travel. Can't wait to start taking photos.

@colinhoward2200 Год назад

As an X-T4 user, I tried the X-H2, hated it and returned it. The form factor was too big for travelling (for me anyway). Also what keeps getting missed is that X-H2 range only have 7 presets which have to be shared between video and photography. On the X-T5 you get 7 presets for each. Its size is also compelling - it feels way better in my hand. As for the flippy screen, even as a videographer primarily, I much prefer the tilt screen - it is faster to set up. But then I don't ever video myself - so I guess I understand it is an issue for those that do.

@mvonwalter6927 Год назад

I had the XT3, Xpro3 and I'm happy rocking the XT2 right now.

The 5 seems an interesting beast. Some noteworthy improvements over the 4 but not so drastic that I feel compelled to take the loss on my 4 and upgrade right away.

@marcpilon4585 Год назад

All depends what you are upgrading from. In my case from an X-T20. And I like the the top dials and the tilting screen versus X-H2

@mikefoster6018 Год назад

I love your custom mode trick! One thing that's surprised me with the X-T5 is that almost any change I make only applies to particular Quick Menu group I'm in, and is a permanent change until I change it again. Which means you can have seven vastly different groups of settings to toggle between. Which is all good fun for simulating old film types or for responding to certain environments, but I've used your trick to allow me to toggle back and forth between them an a lovely generic group that I can trust to get good detail in any light. To reduce wear and tear on my camera, it's also the only group fully set to a shutter other than electronic, so that I can switch to it in one button press when needed.

@duringthemeanwhilst Год назад

I got mine on day of release and absolutely love it. When I first opened the box I honestly thought they'd sold me an X-T30, it looked that small. Mine will be my main stills camera alongside an X-T2, with an X-T4 for mainly video work. Loving the extra resolution already :-)

@misterfritz9778 Год назад

That "Recall C1 Setting" thing is brilliant! It isn't T5 specific, I guess? Somehow I missed it in my T3...

@A1000Truths Год назад

I feel like the X-T4 hits that sweet spot. Some XH features in an XT body. I.e. flip out screen and battery grip and a better built. I feel like I’d be giving up more upgrading. Instead of needing two cameras just one. Either way the X-T5 is a great camera but for my needs the X-T4 fits more for me.

@vidaworksout Год назад

Don't know if I agree with the EVF comment. For some reason as someone wearing glasses the new EVF with the XT5 is SO much bigger. I was in between getting the xt4 again and the xt5 and the increase size of the evf alone is the reason to get the XT5. The XT5 has been a really nice upgrade from the XT4, the increase in photo quality is apparent, I'm blown away everytime I look at the photos from the camera. Only thing I don't like is the mode buttons seem to move more than the XT4.

@Holl.Mvrk. Год назад

By far the best “first looks review” I’ve seen on this camera and looking forward to the follow up to see how you’re getting along with it next year. I’m trying to patiently wait for the Xpro4, but the Xt5 is so tempting.

For me, this is one of the most important channels to watch to stay inspired and to not be too much of a wet shirt about my gear limitations. The views here also help balance out all of the technical reviews that my nerdy, gear-addicted side binges on.

@juliettemansour Год назад

I feel so much better watching this, Roman! Thank you. It completely justifies my XH2s just perfectly 😃. I have extremely small hands and wrists so the XT5 would have been perfect, size-wise. Fortunately the XH2s is on the border of being just the right size and weight. I don't need all those pixels! On the bad side, I don't care for the articulating screen since I'm 60% street photographer, but for other 40% of events, I'm a very happy camper with my XH2s!

@Optidorf Год назад

I'm glad you addressed the buttons that seem a bit less robust compared to previous models. When I received the X-T5 the first thing I did was comparing it to the X-T2 and the first thing that I noticed were indeed the buttons that were a bit more loose. Regarding the price the X-T5 is way too overpriced in Europe (2000 euro). If you have a fairly recent model I don't consider it an essential buy. I waited two years for the X-T2 after its release to buy it and I had to pay 900 euro. I'm not sure if this is still working in these times. The X-T4 is out for more than two years, but still is selling close to the original retail price.

@JET-Photo Год назад

One of very few opinions I take to heart right here. Even with a bigger price difference here in the US it was still close enough for me to choose the XH2. However, when I feel it’s time to add a street only camera, the XT5 is at the top of my list. Looking forward to the coming videos!

@bmeclipse Год назад

Great video and yes, it takes time to truly review this hardware. I’m still learning it after more than a month and a half. I don’t agree with all the naysayers arguing that it’s an unjustifiable upgrade. If you’re a Fujifilm photographer and have been on one of the older bodies, comfortable with the system and menus, and use these cameras professionally, it’s truly justifiable. I have found it as reliable as the X-T3 and the focus system greatly improved. The enhanced video features are a great added benefit. But with any new system/processor, it takes time to learn how to use it. It’s not completely turnkey. Great video.

@hellni79 Год назад

Super happy with my X-T4, but as I bought that second hand from a store with 2 years warranty for 1250€ one year and a half ago, I’ll probably get the T5 in a year or more with a similar formula, cause I really like the dials and everything form factor. H2 is super performant but I don t need that and I’d not be crazy about the design found in all other brands. Kills a bit of the magic doesn’t it ahah? Super personal opinion of course, H2 is an amazing camera.

@ethanperez4774 Год назад

I'm honestly glad that I started photography with the xt200. I have a ton of upgrade options already and I don't have to feel bad about wanting to upgrade, cause any upgrade at this point will be monumental. I will say, whenever it's time to upgrade, I will miss having my 3 top buttons mapped to aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Super helpful for changing settings in manual mode on the fly. Just wish I had more film simulations built in.

The best camera is the one you have with you and as the great Don McCullin said “ The photographic equipment I take with me on assignment is my head, my eyes and my heart. I could take the poorest equipment and I would take the same photographs, they may not be as sharp, but they would certainly say the same thing.” - So please, lets’s stop fretting about the gear, it really doesn’t make you a more intuitive or creative photographer … let’s be honest, a zillion ‘camera club’ Leica owners are testimony to that! 😉

Glad you mentioned the way dials and buttons feel. I was recently on the hunt for an upgrade for my xt2 but found that both xt3 and xt4 felt cheap on my hands compared the xt2. I decided to keep my camera for a few more years. I wonder if it is related to fujifilm moving its production of xt cameras to china or not. I also would like to compare my xt2 with xh2 and xt5

@richardramsay1795 Год назад

The T2 is a monster. Used it for 5 years, all weathers. Images are amazing

@aramisgrey3711 Год назад

I would pick it up in a heartbeat if it weren't for the fact that there's no vertical grip for it as opposed to the xh2. It's so much more enjoyable to take portraits with a vertical grip. The xt5 form factor is tempting though because I like light gear....😕 Not in a rush to part with my XT4.

Great video Roman. I do like the new screen flip set up on the XT5.📷👍🏼

@TarrelScot Год назад

Currently shooting with an X-Pro2, I'm VERY tempted by the X-T5. I just sketched out on squared paper the difference between the coverage of the 40Mp sensor and that needed to fill a 4K screen. I often shoot at waist level and the potential for cropping, straightening and reframing is insane! Like the one-touch custom mode idea by the way.👍

Excellent overview. Really useful, and reinforces my New Year plan to upgrade from X-T2, but only to an X-T4. Not easy for me to justify the extra £££s for an X-T5, for the reasons that you mention. Really liked the deep-contrast shadow shots around London, too.

The X-T5 is more camera than I'll ever use. Should get a great price on the used X-T3 market from what I can see.

@Peter-bj4dr Год назад

Since the X-T5 came out I got a pretty decent deal on the X-T4 at my local dealer with the 18-55 lens and went for it. Personally for me it is a big improvement from the Nikon D350s which I bought after Highschool in pretty much every aspect. Since I don’t crop a lot or blast my pictures on house walls the higher price wouldn’t have justified the pixel increase for me personally. I am happy to join the Fujifilm family and are looking forward to a lot of great photo sessions. Thanks Roman for your videos and inspiration that have been part of getting back into this wonderful hobby!

@yohan2437 Год назад

It can be argued that the XT5 (or XTs in general) are exactly what you don't want as a travel camera. For travelling you want to minimize weight. You want a smaller visual presence to be inconspicuous and not attract thieves. You want a smooth topped body that doesn't have a middle hump to ease the hundreds of times you pull a camera out of a bag to use. The idea travel setup are two light rangefinder style bodies to minimize lens changes.

@Denis_Klimochkin Год назад

Waiting for x-pro4 with same specs and new titanium (or maybe platinum 😅) design) my point of view is that x-t5 is a bit a step back from design perspective... like flashback to x-t3 a bit... no feel of something new in hands...

@MrRafalEn Год назад

Great video as always Roman. I am very tempted to buy X-T5 but I think I will wait and see what X-Pro4 brings to the table. If they will change screen to "normal" and include IBIS this will be a no-brainer for me due to the small rangefinder size for street and travel. By the way aren't you tempted by X-Pro series ? They seem perfect for your style of shooting but I may be wrong.

@MaineMountainMedia Год назад

Great review. so far I love this camera which is no surprise since it is so similar to T3 and T4 and I love them too. I think it's a suitable upgrade and build quality can only be judged over time (as you said). I think the X-H series is not a matter of "if you can afford it." Fujifilm is so darn affordable that it really comes down to preferences. That's why they make so many different models, different cams for different people.

@Nebeldiener Год назад

As an X-H1 user, I wished for an X-H2 with retro dials and the same 3 way tilt display. So for the longest time I argued against buying one. But for 1645.- CHF in Switzerland ($1768/ £1468) it would have been dumb to say no. It's even cheaper than the X-T5 (still only preorder) and only 160.- CHF ($172/ £142) more than a new X-T4. And you get a 4-year extended warranty.

Love my X-T5, and I'm really starting to think it can replace my X100V, especially if I pick up a smaller 23mm lens (come on fuji, we need a 23mm pancake lens!). I'm looking to get a 27mm F2.8 though. I think its the slightly smaller size and better grip the X-T5 has, coupled with the lighter package that is pushing me to part with the X100V. I just cannot see me using that camera much any more. I Kept my X-T4 as this is my main hybrid and video camera, although the X-T5 is very capable as a video shooter. The 40mp allows for more cropping too.

Nice initial review We have 1 X-T5 in our mix of cameras, and don't have a bad word to say about it. (but I am more than happy with the X-T3s too since i don't print bigger than 18" x 12" and don't need to crop) We don't own any of the X-H cameras and the reason for that is we don't need the deep buffer, and the cost difference between the XH2 and X-T5 was a lot more in reality, due to the need to buy CF Express type B cards that would have added at least another £500 to the price, when currently we have lots of very fast SD cards. Eventually I'm sure we will need to make the jump to CF Express type B cards with new cameras, but by then the price will have dropped too

@kgeo753 Год назад

While the X-T5 is a great camera on most fronts, I agree with Roman's critique that it feels a bit cheap. I own an X-T10 and that camera, which was released 8 years ago and sold for $799, feels sturdier than the $1,699 X-T5. The X-T10 has aluminum top and bottom plates and aluminum dials that add weight to the camera and instills confidence in the build quality. It has a louder and more satisfying shutter sound than the X-T5 that registers in your hands when triggered. This may be a drawback for some but for me it enhances the tactile feel of the camera. I plan on purchasing an X-T30 and when I do so I think that camera will easily become my go to FujiFIlm camera. Paired with a grip, it's extremely mobile, comfortable and capable.

Hi Roman, Thank you for sharing that both informative and beautiful video 🔥. I got an XT4 beginning of the year (I’m coming from an Xe3) and I really think it is a very capable and fun to use camera. Throughout my journey with the xt4 I mainly complain about the flipping screen, the chunky feel of it and sometimes the autofocus.. I was about to sell my Xt4 and upgrade but the main concern I have is about the files size .. how much bigger are the 40MP files and how much impact would it have on the storage/editing system you use ?

Excellent walk through and first impressions - looking forward to your full review. I have been waiting for this camera and finally I think Fuji has got it spot on for photo first shooting. Traded in my XT3 and really enjoying the XT5. I think your comments about the slightly "cheaper" feel especially against the XH2 and the extra feature set that the XH2 gives is a little harsh!! XT5 has exactly the same processor and sensor so the image quality, low light performance and auto focus will be exactly the same. I can't comment on the build quality as I have not held the XH2....but to me, one is purely for still photography with a very capable vid spec for those who want it, whilst the XH2 is a hybrid camera. I like the way Fuji has gone with how they have put a marker down and separated stills, hybrid and video first cameras

Honestly it's nothing to do with the processor and sensor... It's a bit like buying a premium car with a 600bhp v8... but on the lower trim model, the plastic inside is a little cheap you know. As for features, the XH2 has more features... not everyone will care (I don't) but some would

My first xt series camera was/is xt2. In November I went to Fuji event in local camera shop and as soon as I took xt5 into my hands I couldn't shake off feeling of "cheapness" while holding it. Comparing to my xt2 I had a weird felling about finish on the body and how dials, buttons operate. In the end I picked up used xt4 because of ibis and money saved will go probably towards new sigma 18-50.

@@snapsbyfox Yeah understand that - but the XT5 and the XH2 both have the SAME sensor and processor....the engine room so to speak. I get your point about maybe the materials and such will be better on the XH2, but I'm interested in what the guts of the camera can produce. Interesting never the less

@tomheim9516 Год назад

@@snapsbyfox It's interesting that Andy Mumford, in his review of the XH2, commented when he first picked it up: "It didn't feel as well constructed as something like the X-T4." He then followed that up with saying once he became used to it, it felt very solid. This was before he had held an XT5. In his subsequent review of the X-T5, he commented that "this does feel like a really well made camera. It's really solid in the hand, it's almost all metal except for the doors. Like all of the XT cameras before it, it really does feel very well made."

Love the channel. Check the cleanliness of the lens/filter

@jackprick9797 Год назад

The only thing I wish the X-T5 had now, is 2 or 3 custom settings similar to the HX2/2S. Otherwise, I will probably purchase the X-T5 to accompany my X-T1.

@mixeddrinks8100 Год назад

the XH2 price differences isn't just the camera price, it is also the CF express card and reader cost imo. So unless you have those, you are upgrading a lot more in reality.

Does this have the same issue that the X-H3 has with your saved settings carrying over from photo to movie mode?

Planning on buying this shortly. Will be my first Fuji camera. I currently shoot M4/3 and before that Canon.

@_krakra_ Год назад

How do you like xt5 vs m4/3. I am selecting between om-1, om-5 and xt5. Thanks

@Sean-Smith-Photos Год назад

@@_krakra_ My M4/3 cameras were the GX7 and GX9, which I liked alot cause they were smaller than my Canon DSLR. The XT5 has the ASPC sensor which is something I really wanted back. The body is heavier and larger than my GX9 however it's not uncomfortably heavy and fits my large hands nicely. I regulary go out for 4-6 hour walks and carry it in my hand (no neck strap) the whole time and have no issues. I also really like the physical dials and the menu. it's got a fast accurate autofocus, the ability to customize buttons is excellent and I've got my camera set exactly how I wan so I can easily access menu items quickly. I have zero regrets. I've been shooting since 1997 and hands down this is the best camera I have ever owned.

You often take amazing pictures with the sun in the frame but you never have flares. How do you do that? Maybe could be a topic for a video?

@Kingjay814 Год назад

I really want to rent one of these. I love my X-T4 but there’s time where it does feel chunky. As crazy as it sounds I don’t think I could go back to a normal mode dial style camera. I’ve gotten so comfortable and used to Fuji’s layout that everything else just feels foreign to me.

@snapsbyfox Год назад

If size is your only reason to change, I wouldn't bother... it's not thaaaaat much smaller.

$1700 because your camera feels slightly chunky at times? Go on a trip somewhere cool.

Xt5 plus pancake lens seems to be a better option and alternative to the impossible to order x100v. Think it’s time for me to upgrade from my xt2

@Jas-sh6kn Год назад

Hey Roman, any thoughts on the AF-C issues some other reviewers have mentioned? In your photos, have you noticed getting a green focus lock but then the actual shot ends up being blurry?

@granitfog Год назад

I would like to put in my 2 cents (or pence depending on which side of the pond one is). The XH2 lacks the focus lever, the click command dial, and the tilt screen that the XH1 had. It seems the XH2 made turned one step processes in the XH1 into 2+ steps. These are the reasons I decided to get the XT5 in stead. Interesting (read that "unfortunate) solution fuji designed for the exp comp function in the XH2 and XT5. In the former, one must first press the exp comp button then move to a dial somewhere. And on the XT5 they kept the exp comp dial on the deck (which on previous generations of XT's it ALWAYS got turned accidentally). But the XT5 also has a clickable comand dial that can be programmed to exp comp. So the XT5 has duplicated this funciton while the XH2 has made it more complicated. I like the latter functionality which makes the large top deck dial supurfluous. I personally am not married to vintage controls. IMHO, the most important fact is the number of movements required to execute a function should be kept to 1 for as much as possible.

Well, I have to say your video was helpful but what gave you a bit more cred was that the photos you show are actually really nice. SO many videos with camera reviews show the worst photos :)
