What's up with the Fujifilm X-T5? 

AGAIN. DON'T BE DUMB. Scammers continue to pretend to be me and use Telegram to try to get $$ from you. You didn't win anything. Sorry.

Received my silver XT5 yesterday and I couldn’t be happier it is the XT that I have always wanted. The resolution hike is quite distinct. The IBIS maybe only slightly better in the figures quoted than the XT4 but in practice it is a lot better and I am a shaky old 70 year old so it is much appreciated. Focussing shutter EDV & LCD much improved and the answer to any serious stills photographer the tilt screen is back. One of my biggest gripes about the XT4. Also the ibis/OIS conflict with my 70-300 is gone and the zoom now nails focus which it did only intermittently with the 4. My 16-80 was a fine lens but now after using the 16-55 last year is matching that fine heavy beast for image quality but of course better range.Happy old chap here. At last I got what I have wanted after 50+ years of photography.

Can't wait to upgrade my XT3 to the XT5. I'm thrilled this geared toward photographers and not videographers. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never ever take video with my camera. I use my iPhone for that if I need video. I love the dials, the vintage style, the feel in the hand, etc. What I'm looking forward to is the IBIS and higher res. Nice video Omar. I enjoy your channel.

Thanks fior the initial impressions. To answer your question as a XT4 user. Do I need 40Mp? No, Would I like the return to the three way screen, and have improved AF and battery life,? Yes. Do I like the smaller, lighter body? Yes. Coming full circle, do I need a XT5? No. Do I desire one? Yes. Placed my order this afternoon!

X-T5 is the body I've been waiting for to upgrade from my X-T20. Really pleased with the return to photography focus and the increase to 40 MP!

It's great surprise that they back to screen rotation like in XT2 and XT3. It the best type of tilting screen for photos I ever used. It's a really good decision.

The comedic value of this video is off the charts. 😀"Elusive silver foxes". Thanks for a great overview!

I have an X-T4 and will probably stick to this model for a long time as it stands unique in the X-T line, and fulfills exactly my needs. I use the video capabilities professionally and the flip screen is a must there. Additionally I love to take my camera with me to business trips, and the X-H series would be too big for that.

You are the only youtuber that I click 'like' even before playing the video. Love the XT5. Love the review. Love you too Omar!

I upgraded my XT3 to the XT5 whilst I could still get a decent trade in value. I have used my XT3 a lot over the last 5 years or so! I have learnt a great deal about photography and how to use my XT3 from RU-vidrs (like you, thankyou, and Chris on Pal2Tech, what a guy!, Dan Bailey and John Peltier etc. all troopers). Recently I have started printing out some of my XT3 photos on A3 sized prints and have been amazed at the detail, usually taken with a 55-200 lens. The bar has been set very high, especially as I'm mostly a walkaround photographer. I LOVE the results! Now it's time to start again with my XT5. So far I have had mixed results. The BEST ones are much better, there's just something rather magical about them...the others are OK, and that's more than just OK, they're as good as the ones from my XT3. I can't decide if they are twice as good, the XT5 cost twice as much as the XT3, but at least they are not worse (a great relief as I loved my XT3). Who knows, I might try printing in A2 now and see what happens, it's all very exciting!!!. BTW, I only shoot JPEG Fine, these cameras are like mobile Lightroom devices once you get to know them, and I'm not doing this to make my living, just having fun, and lots of it! Bless you Omar, keep on keepin on, you're a star in the firmament... Peter

This is the first announcement that made me want to upgrade since I got the X-T2! It looks amazing and those 40 megapixels would be great for bird photography and croping when the focal distance was not enough zoom!

Pre-order done~! Exactly what I was hoping for - a body more like X-T3 with the 3-way screen, IBIS, better eye AF…. Don’t need it but want it and won’t even bother trying to justify the purchase! Excited!

I love watching the Fujifilm presentations that include the “clay” design studio and that discuss their overall design philosophy. It’s in line with their parallel focus on the color science (and art) reminiscent of their legacy film types. I’ve enjoyed several of the X and GFX product lines, but the classic dial arrangement of the XT cameras is still my favorite. The XT-4 is already brilliant, but the improved ergonomics (including the easier to find AF button), faster processor allowing improved autofocus, and the increased resolution make the XT-5 a worthwhile upgrade. I’ll be up at midnight 11/16. I’ve grown to like the articulating (fold-out) screen, especially for its ability to fully close, but I’ve always enjoyed the flip-up design as well. Hey, Leica M, Q and SL bodies still use fixed screens, which also work fine.

I’ve watched both of your videos regarding the megapixel comparisons. Even on my iPad, the difference in detail is immediately apparent. The details, even when only slightly zoomed in, is obvious. Especially in textures.

Hey Omar, thanks for your thoughts on the Fujifilm X-T5 camera. I currently use the Fujifilm X-T1 and X-H1 cameras and love the Gen 2 and Gen 3 sensor's color rendition and cinematic aesthetic. I completely agree with your assessment of Fujifilm's older sensor output and wish they would bring back this gorgeous color palette. However, that's just wishful thinking on my part as it seems the trend is for more and more megapixels. I will definitely not be upgrading as I love my older Fujifilm cameras and their beautiful files. Thanks so much for the great content Omar.

I want it, Omar, I have the X-T4, but...Just for these 4 fixtures, I'm going to buy: --> The 40MP, the 120 ISO, the AF, the 4:2:2 10-Bit, the 160 Pixel Shift Multishot, and the Tilting Touchscreen LCD!

I’m definitely going to upgrade to the XT5 from my XT3, and as a stills shooter who loves the ergonomics and small size of the XT3, this is a perfect camera for me. IBIS, more film sims, better battery life, tilt screen, higher res and improved shutter with better AF, but still nice and light weight, I’m really excited. I shoot professionally as a portrait and family photographer and will likely keep my XT3 as a backup body, so having a similar feel in hand will with familiar controls, dials and buttons be a great thing when switching between bodies. XT5 is going to be perfect for me.

Really enjoy your relaxed way of presenting...so smooth.

Ha.. Enough is enough! Love the Rocky reference... I won't be buying this camera just yet for budget reasons. Especially since I recently acquired two XF lenses. But, I could see myself getting this down the road for sure. I love how the 40mp sensor gives more contrast in portraits. That last portrait at 11:38 you shot looks so good. The detail and the deep blacks give such nice depth to the portrait. I've also never been a bleeding edge buyer with any electronics. So, I'll be watching all of the shakedown videos for a while. Fun video as always Omar! Have a great week.

Man, your videos are the best. Almost like top gear series in automobile world :) minimal of tech specs, lot's of humor. Mmm yammy xD

I think this is what we were all hoping the XT-4 was going to be and it's nice to see Fujifilm get back to that with the XT-5. Coming from an XT-3 currently, I don't feel the need to go out and pre-order one but it's nice to know the option is there down the road should i need more megapixels, IBIS, bigger battery etc.

Before XT5 announced, I was going to upgrade my XT20 to XT3. The only reason XT4 isn't in my list, mainly because its' flippy lcd screen. I'm only into photography and I don't do videos, so I have no purposes using that feature. Glad Fujifilm has decided to bring back the tilt screen, I can't wait to have XT5 officially sell here in my country 😊

I have the X-T20 and I've been recently torn between the X-H2 and the X-T4, problem solved now :) I am still eyeing a possible X-Pro4 as well. All in all, happy with what Fuji has been doing, 3 impressive bodies in one year is no small feat!

What a relief to finally get an X-T3 upgrade. Ahhhhh. Good to see the Silver Foxes get a high-res upgrade. Definitely love the 40mp upgrade. I crop a lot, so extra detail will be nice.

Another thorough, level-headed (pre-)review. The X-T5 looks so sweet! I almost pulled the trigger on an X-T4 a couple weeks ago. Glad I waited! Though, I’ll probably try to grab an X-T4 from someone who’s upgrading. 😜

I like that the screen is tilting and not flipping out!

Glad the screen goes back to what the photography god intended.

I just pre-ordered the X-T5 this morning. This camera will be replacing an older, wonderful X-T3. The primary reason for the upgrade - IBIS. Now I can use my XF 16-55 2.8 lens without having to mount it on a tripod or dial up the shutter speed. Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for the great overview. After shooting with the X-T3 for almost four years, this seems like an obvious upgrade and I pre-ordered right after the announcement. I'm not a professional, simply looking to enjoy myself when I go out shooting (street, travel, some landscape) and Fuji is just plain fun. Side note, with the silver top on the camera, almost every trip someone will ask if I’m shooting film. 😊

Loved the video as akways. Just placed a pre-order for the X-T5 after watching this. Excited about the new sensor. Looking forward to comparing it to the R5 sensor to see the difference. Loving all this new camera tech.

I love it. Barring any surprises, I’d eventually upgrade from my 4 for the smaller size, the improved AF and the tilt screen, which I prefer over the flippy screen. BUT…if they can port improved face detection to the 4 via firmware, I’d feel no need to upgrade.

So glad the 3 axis screen is back! This is more tempting to return back to Fujifilm for me!

Great preview of the XT5! Currently shooting with my new Nikon Z7ii and have 2, XT4 bodies and 1 XT2 as a back up to my back up. I went to sell it to recoop some $$$ from investing in the Nikon system but man, that XT2 is just special! So I will most likely unload an XT4 body and shoot with two different systems which is not what I typically do. XT5 does not tempt me at all but it might if I didn't just get the Z7ii. I shoot a mix of headshots, portrait, wedding, events, architecture, theatre. So each has it's purpose. I LOVE the flip screen on the XT4 mainly to keep it closed inward to protect the screen since I rarely use the external screen! It really looks like a film camera with the whole camera back the same as the body. Anyway, just on here rambling about gear stuff. Love your videos!!

I always thought the X-T3 was the peak of the X-T line and I have not seen any reason to upgrade, but now, with the X-T5, I'm in lust again! (However, I don't really need 40 MP.) And I agree with you about the older sensors. I have an X-T3 and ... hm ... two X-E2's and the latter actuallt sees the most action. I luuuv shooting b/w with the X-E2!

Great to see you being invited to these events FINALLY

I've always loved the X-T3 style tilt screen and I guess it says a lot that Fuji went back to it after the X-T4. I don't shoot tons of video with the X-T3 but now that the settings are saved going to video and back to photo mode is going to make a lot of folks happy. I'll likely wait and see how much better auto focus is, to me that's where Fuji has always needed to improve.

The screen and video improvement sold it to me! Definitely upgrading this from my xt4

Just got my brand spanking new X-T5. Already I'm in love!!!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Everything I was asking for when I was thinking about upgrading my X-T2 to the 4 which never happened. The 3 way tilt screen, IBIS, better tracking in a smallish package. Sign me up this Christmas

Thanks, Omar. I'll be sticking with my X-T3s for a bit longer. As a stills only photographer, 26mp is more than enough (still shoot with my old 16mp), so I have no need or interest in bigger files to store and clog processing.

Just can’t wait to put my hands on one.

I got an ad for a Cadillac X-T6 before this video. Also the beginning was hilarious 😂

The XT-4 had one feature that I wanted, IBIS, but it wasn't quite compelling enough for me to upgrade from the XT-3. This is a pretty compelling package though. It's nice to see Fuji still coming out with competitive products in the APS-C segment. I got the XPro 1 and XT-3 specifically because I didn't want to carry around a full frame body (or more importantly full frame glass). I'm probably going to upgrade this generation. I'm curious if my old lenses can fully take advantage of the 40MP sensor. Thanks for the always informative and entertaining content Omar!

I did go on a trip to oregon and did not like the images on my xt-3 i just felt like i needed the extra megapixels. 7 months later, i bought a sony a7rii and the images i got in another trip (this time in Washington) were great for cropping/ making wallpapers /sharp. Im pretty sure the xt5 will make a lot of landscape photographers happy. Excited

It's a bummer it won't have a battery grip, because the Fuji grips rock. I will probably (90%) upgrade from my X-T3. Even though I'm still using X-H1 for my workhorse.

Tooooo much value out of this video,humor,info,everything!I hope X100 VI has this screen and the 40MP for zooming on the go!

Thank you Omar. I owned an XE4 for about 16 months and recently I have been thinking to change it for an XT3, however I might be waiting for the price of the XT5 to go down a bit and then upgrade. Thanks for the video

I could live without the 40mp, but hey, I'll "tolerate" it just for the IBIS, smaller size and practical photo to video modes. Anyone want a superb condition XH1 and XT1 decked out with extras? haha. I LOVE them both, but this T5 having IBIS and being smaller for my smaller hands is most ideal for me. Thank you Mr. Gonzalez, your video comparisons are exactly what I've been wanting to see!. You're the best!

I got the xt2 and kinda stopped keeping up with releases over the past few years so I didn’t experience the video-centric fuji xt cameras. Glad to see them listening to customers!

Omar, I'm like you, waiting for an X-T40/50. Because the easier your gear is to grab and go, the more often you'll shoot. But after watching this video (thanks, by the way👍🏻), I made the decision to jump from my beloved X-T2 to that new sexy slim X-T5!!!

Pre-oredered it - my X-t3 is getting very worn, time to make it a backup.

Sure will upgrade. I like large prints and doing that on a small camera saves one from going big to get the same benefit.

I was very fortunate to Pre-order this morning from B&H. I m a hobbyist who shoots scapes and wildlife. My lineup includes EM1 MIII, CANON RP, and my favorite XT 3. The EMI as I’m certain you know has IBIS onboard and good tracking, thus kicking the XT3’s butt when I’m targeting flying waterfowl. Thus because I love the retro design, and the flip screen design, I hemmed and hold, over purchasing an XT 4 and then again the recently released XH 2….. Decisions…DECISIONS…. ultimately I was fortunate to lock onto FujiRumors…… and thus with their leaky rumors I waited …. Immediately after FUJI JAPAN went live with the announcement I called B&H and preordered. I’m now a happy camper as Fuji Japan announced that they were in production and expected to begin shipping by November 17th. Now the wait begins…..but there is light at the end of the tunnel and time to consider which of my present stablemates will be going unto EBay in order to make room for this hobbyist dream come true…..Thanks as always…. You are a true upbeat joy to watch…. RustyIronMike

This intro was amazing Omar ahaha

I’m excited to get one. I had the xt3 but moved on to Nikon Z full frame bodies and the GFX ….but definitely missed the the form factor and the FUN factor. I’m glad they got rid of the video centric rear screen. The 40 megapixel upgrade to the sensor is awesome. Can’t wait to get one ! The xh2 I’m sure has better ergonomics and closer to that workhorse bigger grip,SLR style which I have in the Nikon but I really missed having an XT body for street and as a daily carry….yea I’m excited ! Great review as usual

40MP requires lenses which can use all those pixels properly. And such a glass is really expensive, I'm not talking about 23mm f2 here, it is more like an exception, but overall, I don't think, I would upgrade to XT-5... I love my X-S10, it has the same sensor as xt-4, maybe slightly downgraded by the firmware, I'm not sure, but it really works well in terms of the price, body size and the results in photos.

Excited to watch the XT5 first impressions & review ;))

Great releases from Fuji. Funny enough I think this puts the X-T4 kind of in a sweet spot between those who want some XH features in a XT body. I.e. flip out screen, video and a battery grip. I’ll hold on to my X-T4 for a little longer due to that.

LOL loved the intro. Super pumped to get the X-T5 in my hands. It's the best of both worlds - that X-H2 sensor and AF with the X-T3 body style (even smaller!)

Wow. This looks like a really owesome camera!

"If it ain't broke than keep it around longer" is my favorite line of the day. 😀😀

I love my XT2 but need ibis as I get older but am afraid of the 40 megapixel file size.✌🏻

This camera has made me excited about Fuji again. As someone interested primarily in event and street photography (the tilt screen is a must!), I was seriously disappointed when the vlogging/video-centric X-T4 was released. Now there is finally a true successor to the X-T3. And, as someone who often crops quite heavily, I’m sure I can find a use for every single one of those megapixels 😁.

I still shooting with my X-E1 and love it and will never sell it but I will buy X-T5, it looks to be a great camera.

Also the 40MP sensor has a little bit better dynamic range than the 26MP which is great for landscape.

Great announcement, features etc. Glad Fuji is returning to their roots. If they release an XT-50, I’m there. Please Photo gods make an XT-50 next. 😊

I'm glad that Omar explicitly mentioned that the battery grip interface is gone from the bottom of the camera. That is a great point! That interface on the X-T series was ugly and the potential for losing the cover was a big con for me. It made me feel a little joyful when Omar pointed out that it was gone. 👍🏾

Omar, love your vids (Jersey in the house!) XT-3 user here. Was going to wait until the XT-5 came out and look for a used T4, but the specs on the XT-5 look great and I think I might go straight to the XT-5....torn.

Hey Omarrrr... good to see your opinion. I upgraded from the XT20 to the XT3 in 2022, so I think XT5 will definitely be on the cards, in 2025 ;) Fuji has been doing incredible stuff recently. It's been my favourite travel cam, but I think XT5 is overkill for my specific needs. For my commercial work, which is mainly video, I have a Lumix S1 (and adding a S5 to that mix soon). That system serves me well, and has superb video-focused lenses. For travel, I would absolutely upgrade from my XT20 with Fuji brought a XT40 or XT50 with either the 26 MP sensor, or the 40 MP sensor, and added - 1. 4K 10 bit internal video, even if capped at 15 min for 30 FPS or with a crop at 60 FPS, and 2. IBIS. The IBIS alone would be enough to get me to upgrade to that model. I love the X-H series' features, but I miss my dials and I want them in a mini sized body.

This is just what I've been looking for for adverse conditions travel. Recently hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain with my XT-4 and only a 23mm f2. Needed water resistance due to being a very rainy area, so the XT-30 could not fit the bill. I did not enjoy the extra weight, though, and the flippy screen was awkward, and eventually beat up my eyecup until I had to rip it off. ( it was a replacement cup that was bigger and always got knocked by the incoming flippy screen). I've traded in both my XT-30 and XT-4 and will go with one camera. Enjoyed your thoughts more than many vloggers who had greater access to the camera.

Yes same is happening with MFT cameras. GH6 is now larger than a full frame camera. So is this XT-5 which defies the purpose of having a smaller sensor APS-C camera in the first place.

I preordered one in black. I had the X-T1, loved it. Had the X-T2, converted one to IR when I got the X-T3, which is my favorite camera of all time. One quibble with the X-T3 is the way I shoot, the Q button seriously gets in my way. Not sure if the Q button in the X-T5 is too close to the rear dial, that might be the only thing that kills this new camera for me. I would have preferred a more modest megapixel upgrade, maybe to 32 megapixels but the 7-stop IBIS will help tremendously in allowing me to leave my tripod in the car more often as my main workhorse lens is the 16-55 f/2.8, which is not stabilized. Most of my photography is done in low light and I am glad that the base ISO has been lowered further. Hoping the smaller pixel size won't impact my low-light work. The smaller size and the chonkier battery are welcome changes for me coming from the X-T3 and I will find a Smallrig L-bracket/grip to use like I've had since the X-T2 to improve the ergonomics. All in all, pretty excited to get my hands on this one.

I chose a 2ndhand X-T3 over the X-T4 when upgrading from my X-T20, because I am a photographer with no interest in video. I get why every RU-vidr is obsessed with video, but I really don’t care. I had the flippy screen on my Canon DSLR, it’s great, but for walk around photography and street, the flippy screen is better. You also feel less paranoid about accidentally breaking it off. The w things I would have loved from the X-T4 was the larger battery and especially the IBIS. The restI preferred the X-T3. And frankly the battery has been just fine for me, occasionally I exhaust the battery and quickly swap

The XT5 is a perfect upgrade from my XT3. Preordered it!

I used the X-T1 then X-T2 but I now use - and prefer the X-Pro2. I'd love an upgrade with the screen and focussing abilities of the X-T5. I’d be happier too with 24 - 30 megapixels. I’m starting to worry about my computers ability to handle 40 mp files.

I just pre-ordered my XT-5 -- upgrading from my T3. Practically all the new features (resolution, video specs, screen resolution, IBIS, more film simulations, familiar size and form factor.. and the 3-way screen) were factors in this decision. My only modest disappointment was the lack of dedicated headphone jack for video, but adapters and 3rd party gear can (fairly) inexpensively handle any missing video features.

I wanted to buy xt4 but always felt not enough of an upgrade because it still uses the xtrans 4 sensor. I'll definitely save more for xt5 though cause this is a worthy upgrade for the xt line.

really tempted by x-t5 not only for its photo specs, but also for its video specs: if you want to learn video and color grading "on a budget" (well, sort of...) now you can have a small beast with 10 bit 4:2:2 SD card recording and no need for external recorders

Ordered mine and cant wait using it!

I'm coming from using an XT-3 and I am more interested in the IBIS than any other feature. I still own my XT-1 and love it to this day, but I will be getting the XT-5.

Still using my X-T20 with the 18-55, a Samyang 12 mm and some very old analogue lenses, some from the east of divided Germany in the 80's. I've been thinking about to upgrade to X-T3 or X-T4, but now I know it was right to wait. Maybe X-T5 is my new camera. Greetings from Germany

I want one! But I love my XT2 so only if it does better bird photography

I have shot with the X-T2, X-T3, and the X-T4 for work. Since the X-T2, I have had a vertical grip on every body I have owned so that I didn’t have to change batteries (always at the most inconvenient time). The X-T5 no longer has the capability of having a vertical grip. The lack of this feature is disappointing. That and the continued lack of a photometry dial is also disappointing. I say that because Fujifilm themselves are emphasizing that the X-T5 is photo-centric camera. Will I upgrade to an X-T5 or an X-H2? Either way I lose a feature I have grown to rely on and enjoy: X-T5 lacks vertical grip while the X-H2 lacks the retro dials. I understand the design of the X-H cameras (crop sensor GFX style bodies). I guess Fujifilm supposes that the X-T line is more for photographic enjoyment and hobbyists rather than professionals. I also am guessing that Fujifilm really wants to differentiate their camera line since the X-H1 lost to the X-T3. I will upgrade to a 40 megapixel Fujifilm body. I just haven’t decided as to which one it will be. P.S.-I am actually really excited. There are really some wonderful things in the X-T5. I just want my battery grip.

I am still using my XT2O. Hmm, very tempted to get this... Yes, I will get it! 😆

Another great video. I love the XT 3 because of the secret sauce...there is something magical about this camera that sets it apart from other brands with more MP etc. I can't wait to see actual user reviews to see if this also has the nostalgic sauce recipe. If so, then it will be a worthy addition as I don't think I would actually upgrade but rather keep the XT 3 as the XT5's trusty loyal companion.

A good point about being stuck with a 40Mpx raw file format! That's going to eat SD card space as well as mass storage space and computer cycles processing it.

Would love to see an X-T40 or 50 with IBIS.

I like the 40 MP for the ability to crop on BIF photos. Just gives more options when the birds are small or far away.

After owning about 15 Fuji bodies now, it's tough to decide to upgrade for photography based on MP alone. The older sensors still resonate such a magic to them, and they are smaller, lighter, cheaper & just as fast operationally (post XT1). The reduced size of the XT5 is plus. The main way I see upgrading Fuji cams is for the newer SOOC Jpeg settings and film sims (storing the WB shifts was a big worthy one in the last gen). They are also going to HAVE to add a smaller RAW output option. Having to dump and work with a slew of 40-50MP raw files just because you want the latest features is not the way.

After watching a lot of your videos I got a used X-T2 this year to see if I’d enjoy doing photography again and if Fuji was the right platform for me. And I gotta say, I LOVE IT! My main frustration has been that I don’t feel I can print large enough with the 24mp sensor ( and I would love to have IBIS. So this really checks the boxes for me and I plan to upgrade in the next 6 months.

Can't wait for the x-t6

Thank you Omar!!! Yes, definitely I'll upgrade. I'll sell my X-T2 and I'll keep the X-T3 as second body.

go go and purchase XT5, approved Omar!!!

Thank you Omar! I have the XT3 and been thinking about one of the new XH bodies. But now I guess I found my next purchase.

Good intro to the XT5 Omar. I am still shooting with the XT20 and love it. I would love the 40mp for landscapes but financially I can't justify the upgrade for my personal hobby.

I was literally waiting for the X-T5 so I can have image stabilization and the flip screen. But since I only get one... I am probably sticking with my X-T2. Still a beast of a camera.

Great review. As someone to Fujifilm can someone recommend 2 best lenses to pair with this camera. I already have telephoto lens covered with my Canon R6. So more under the 70mm focal range. Thanks~

I would have preferred the 26mp stacked sensor in the x-t5 but overal a great release.

I've been shooting an XT-2 since they came out and for the most part it's been perfect... Except for the lack of IBIS, modern focus performance and a small battery. I normally carry 4 of them when I go out and the last time I was in Spain, I'd go through all of them in a simple walk around Toledo. When the XT-3 came out I didn't feel there was enough there to merit an upgrade. Then the XT-4 came out but it had the flippy screen and that made it a no go for me. Now the XT-5 answers all of my issues plus a 40MP sensor. What's not to like?

Appreciate the comparison with the XT1 as that's the only XT camera I have. Nearly got the X-T4 but unfortunately bought the X-H1. Thanks to this review I can finally replace my well-worn XT-1! Will make a nice companion to the X-100V I carry for street photography opportunities.
