Honestly glad to see cameras in general being more photo first or video first. I’ve been a closeted fujifanboy for a few years now. I shoot Sony APSC, and do a lot of commercial work. I might just switch to Fuji with the X-T5

@BlueHourVisions Год назад

You won’t regret adding a Fuji to your lineup. Owning the xt5 since release, I find myself picking this up way more often than my a7r4 due to its compact size and weight. 20mp less, sure. But this xt5 is locking on focus more than any past Fujifilm camera. You will be very pleased with Fuji lens lineup as well as third party lens support like viltrox.

I went from the X-T3 to the X-T5, and I think the "kinda" high ISO noise performance has improved. At 12.8k, in a dark setting like a concert hall, I've noticed patterns in the noise with the X-T5. But at 10k ISO and under, the X-T5 has had a nicer noise rendering compared to the X-T3.

@bmeclipse Год назад

For me, the 16mm f1.4 or the 33mm are perfectly balanced on this body. I shot for a month straight on it with both these lenses and it felt and balanced great. I even slapped on a 70-300 for a day and felt fine. A great photographer’s camera.

@blackentrepreneur244 Год назад

I agree, I'm going to sell my 16-80 lens. Its big, bulky, & isn't sharp enough to my likely. I'm going to pick up a prime instead.

Great review! The XT5 has been an impressive upgrade from my XT3 in every respect, and the new film sims, IBIS, AF subject tracking and custom setting capability are the icing on the cake. And I love how the XT5 the camera can be reconfigured in one or two button presses for any shooting situation.. kudos Fuji!

@komali2 Год назад

Also a lot of autofocus tests are missing this, but even if your little square on the screen seems to be tracking correctly on autofocus tests, if you actually release the shutter (YES i'm testing this in C mode) you still might not actually get an in-focus shot. I'm not sure what's going on here but out of around 800 shots I lost a couple really good ones that should have been easy portraits when I had face/eye detection on. So for now for portraits I just use single point autofocus in S mode, set focus with half press, and then recompose as needed, until I can learn more about wtf is going on with face autofocus. For street walks i still leave it in C mode with zone + face / eye detection and have been getting decent results.

@komali2 Год назад

FYI for those considering upgrading, note that Darktable requires a compilation of a as-yet uncompiled version in order to process xt5 raws, if you're on windows or osx.

@williamgoss4691 11 месяцев назад

Wow !! A really (really) in-depth analysis of the XT5. If you were thinking of buying this camera, this would b one of the best Reviews to help you decide. Thanks Benj.

@matt88169 Год назад

+1 for an XT5S! I too would rather have lower resolution and higher AF speed. Bump up that ISO and dynamic range performance and I’d have my dream camera. Particularly since the 26mp sensor is already razor sharp with the latest/better lenses. Also +1 for film sims…at times they are a huge time saver and frankly have a look I can’t replicate in post. I do plenty of in-camera editing. Fuji really should upgrade Fuji x-raw studio, it runs so badly it frankly is slower than just grinding out edits in-camera. But I would hate shooting my 50-140 all day with no battery grip, a huge mistake Fuji made here on their “photography first” XT5 camera. Unless the XH2S gets a tilt screen or the “perfect” screen like the Sony a7R5 I’m not sure I could ever make the leap.

@daymonpearcey8468 Год назад

Thanks Benj, really good review and well thought out 👍

@eliaspap8708 Год назад

Nice review Ben! I use the XH2s and XT4 for my weddings and Event photography and they under perform a bit when it comes to low light compared to FF, so your suggestion is awesome and I hope fuji listen, apart from that, the colors, dynamic range and the fact there only 26mpx still provides some room for post cropping, the Fuji files to me are just a bit richer to my previous R6 obviously under decent light. The lighter weight lenses is another huge advantage.

@babyboy1971 Год назад

I’m loving my XT5 so far, traded my XT3 to get it and it feels like a nice and solid upgrade, yet familiar and second nature. I still have my X100V and now with my XT5 & X100V, I’m set with Fuji bodies. Now I’m just saving for more lenses. I just got the new 56 and the 33 and they are incredible. Paired with the XT5, autofocus is great. Next lens is likely the new 18. Although with the 35, 50 and 85 equivalents I have with the X100V’s 23 and the XT5 with the 33/56 combo, I’m pretty happy. And pretty broke, lol. Great review, btw. I hope you get to eventually buy this camera and keep testing it!

@@morganmiller7777 incredibly limited? That's a little dramatic. The GFX line are great cameras, but even if you just do stills there are many use cases where a smaller form factor and faster performance will make a difference.

@@travis5481 GFX is not limited it’s amazing. Fuji x trans processing technology does not allow for better dynamic range; and literally paints the imagery to the point of flattening it at times.

@morganmiller7777 Год назад

@@travis5481 Fuji x trans is no longer much in size and weight than a Nikon z6 or z7, not xt4 and xt5z the x100v is a fantastic camera, but I’ll take a used Leica Q over a brand new x100v any day. Again, x trans has issues, even with the raw conversion in Adobe, which is the go to for many. Fuji can give their GFX the Fuji look, so they could ditch the gimmick of x trans and get back to producing files that meet the standards of today with dynamic range and better raw conversion.

@mortenthorpe Год назад

so the x-trans color array arrangement is not (!) a gimmick! it prioritizes greens over the other colors, because your eyes work this way… furthermore the cross-ordering of the pixel array, makes the need for correction of moire much less… just stop using Adobe to demosaic your files - Adobe makes shit software anyway - unperformant, expensive, not updated in honesty where it should’ve been too long ago…

@mortenthorpe Год назад

so, just to throw an observation made by Dustin Abbott in technical testing of this, paired with the new zoom 150-600… be aware that diffraction at 40 mp on apsc already sets in at around f 8, noticeably so at f11… this is unfortunate, goven that the lens and camera are of same-generation, and that the lens @600mm is wide open at f8

@A1000Truths Год назад

I will say the Fujifilm X-T5 is a solid camera. Recently upgraded from my X-T4 after getting an amazing deal on an X-T5 with a trade in of the X-T4. The autofocus alone is a major improvement. Picked up subjects from far away. With firmware it’s bound to get better over time. Also didn’t realize how compact and light it is which is great. See myself picking this up more often then my Sony A7RV due to its size.

@zacksimpson Год назад

Any differences between the two in terms of video that you’ve been able to notice so far? My X-T3 was such a great hybrid between the two at the time, but it’s time for ibis and bigger batteries. Video capability is the only thing keeping me on the fence.

@A1000Truths Год назад

@Zack Simpson lots of video upgrades from the X-T3. Full sensor read out in 4k 60 so no crop. Shoots videos in 6K and down samples. On the video side you’ll get a lot coming from the X-T3

@loganarowland Год назад

I create content for a church, and have a side gig making content for local businesses. I use a BMPCC 6K Pro for that. I love that camera. I’m always very happy with the images. But, I’m looking to get something that is more photography centered for creating stills content for those same clients. I’m considering the XT5 because I love my x100v but wish I had the ability to use longer lens with it. I am also considering jumping up to the XH2s for the addition of its video features. Having a camera with good autofocus opens up some different video options for me that are limited in a solo run and gun situation. Do you have any thoughts on this? Is the lower resolution of the XH2s going to be a bummer for photos? Will I find the video features of the XH2s compelling enough to pay the extra cash?

@saiyan_princestudios9790 Год назад

And I do think a lot of people agree with me about the flip screen (just maybe don’t say it out loud) bc the fuji xh2 is sold out everywhere and back ordered but the xh2S and the xt5 aren’t.

@snowwalker9999 Год назад

I love a tilting screen for video and hate it for photography. I wish a company would come up with one that could do both mechanically. I believe Fuji might be the first to do that. Maybe the X-T6? Ideally I would buy an X-T5 and an X-H2s. I just don't understand why the X-H2s does not come with 8K video. Liked & sub'd.

Fuji needs a firmware update to allow for a 26MP (or even 20 MP) small RAW format. They could re-sample down for you keeping the same ISO perf. of the 26MP sensor (the one in the XT4/X-E4/X100V, etc.).

@karimnasser9226 Год назад

I don't mind camera ambassadors, or paid RU-vidrs, and in fact I love Fujifilm as a company and their cameras are simply awesome. What I do mind is to proclaim the X-T5 as the best camera under $1700, when it so happens that the X-T5 costs $1699. I also didn't see any comparison to other cameras costing under $1700. Did I miss it? The X-T5 is an excellent camera, regardless of it being in the under $1700 category, or in the under $2000 category. That being said the 40MP sensor exhibits too much noise to my taste, the noise does render nicer than lower resolution X trans sensors, the latter having a non-uniform pixel pattern generates noise that looks like botches of color. The 40MP sensor although noisier hides that and creates a more pleasing noise pattern due it's higher pixel density. I no longer see the purpose of the X-Trans sensor at this resolution, I wouldn't be surprised if Fuji start using traditional CMOS sensors and concentrates more on lenses and film simulations, or image signature. Leica does that better than anyone.

Manual focus bug? Focus peaking no longer gives a clear viewfinder image when the shutter is half pressed (as it does with the X-T2, X-T3 and X-T4 and X-100F etc.). After spending £1700 on this camera, I'm seriously disappointed not to be able to see a clear image when focusing manually. I’ve tested three X-T5s and they all have this bug,… this is supposed to be a photographers dream, but with compromised manual focusing I'm surprised no reviewer has mentioned it. Does anyone else see this issue?
