X-T5 vs GFX 100s - Print Comparison 

Well done! Very informative, no nonsense comparison. I will say, portraits tend to be 'easier' subjects for lower MP cameras to compete. Landscape images in which details in the distance (foliage on a distant mountainside, etc.) is where I see my X-T5 struggle vs my GFX-100. But with a good lens, the X-T5 does brilliantly at objects close to the camera, even in the fine detail. Thanks for posting this comparison - obviously a lot of time, effort, and expense involved.

Crazy amount of work you put into this; thank you. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

This is an exceptional comparison video. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this.

What a great video, thank you for making this comparison and the effort you put into it!

Great scientific and academic comparison. Thank you for this.

Awesome video. No fluff, just pure content.

Thank so much for this comparison. I wish that more “ image quantity “ comparisons would be based on prints. IMHO, the gold standard would be to take comparable images with whatever camera/lens setups are under consideration, make good quality largish prints (17x23, A2 ), with minor corrections as appropriate, then present this finished prints - unmarked - to one or more “objective” evaluators. This would help eliminate a lot of the confirmation bias that that seems to be behind much of what you seem on RU-vid

Direct comments , helpful pointing the cons and pros . You are right , only if you are printing you should balance what you want get . Congratulation

Thank you very much for the video, only recently I came across you, it’s informative, and yet it’s so difficult to choose which camera will be the best now, with its ergonomics, optics park, and I also prefer to take pictures in the dark, and I can’t decide, because there is a temptation to buy x-t

Thank you for this comparison. Your brother is the real MVP!

So helpful. So well done. Thank you so much.

I own both and i agree with you.....but the GFX though has more information and better tonal passages if the raw files are converted properly ( x-transformer in my opinion ...). Its not always abut sharpness. Btw.....i find the GF 110MM f2 A better lens than the Sigma 105 art for that sensor. Anyways a great test. Kudos.

Very helpful thank you! Own the XT5 and thinking about the GFX100S 🙏😎

Awesome video. Really appreciate the work and personal expense you put in. Its obvious the GFX produces a better digital image, but the XT5 holds up almost shockingly well. I currently have been too busy accumulating photos to do much printing, but would like to make some albums this year with much larger prints if I can find the time. Clearly I can push the ISOs if need be - might make the digital files seem worse but the prints will likely look great. I have an XT3+56mm f/1.2 WR and that is an amazing lens for sure that I use as often as I can. Very sharp, very punchy. The newer Fuji glass I've bought or tried lately has in general been outstanding in terms of overall performance. You make me think I could rather fearlessly shoot at ISO 6400 and beyond if the goal is to print. I should say that other of Fuji's lenses aren't quite as forgiving in low light, they can get a bit mushy or maybe I just miss focus more often. I have to say that I might still avoid the 40mp sensor someday as it is the file sizes that get me. Hard to keep up with the processing / hard drive space demands. As it is the LR "enhance" feature makes 95MB files out of the XT3's raws. That means I have to use it judiciously. Still, its nuts what you can do.

I made a 16x20 print from my xpro 3 and was SUPER surprised by the results. It was a night time image shot at high iso and it printed great! I agree with you 100% that the smaller fuji files DO print much better than what you see on the screen.

Finally a wonderful comparison !! I do have one request that no one RU-vid has ever done to my knowledge, would you consider doing a Comparison shoot out using the GFX Vs X-T5, BUT- you would use the build In PixelShift mode (160MP) built X-T5 vs the stock GFX camera? Would love to see if truly the picture of the XT5 can keep up with that GFX. That would be amazing !!

Thoughts on the 50sii? Image quality, iso test? May I ask if you at all considered the 50sii before the 100s?

Ely , your reviews. Really "Peaks" my interest . In comparison the Fuji GFX100S , and the Fuji XT5 . My mind want to factoring in your choices of lenses . And would it had made a difference difference ? If you had adopted both cameras with the Sigma 105 ? In or out of your Studio ? Would this had made a significance Comparison ? Your thoughts . Thanks ! ...Curtis

Thank you for the awesome comparison. That’s extremely impressive a 40mpx crop sensor can even achieve anything at 8000 iso, having the XH2s and XT4 I considering if its worth acquiring and Xt5 or XH2, i do prefer the button dial layout of the XH models especially the custom settings.

With Lightroom, you can select background which would've chosen the background of the model and just reduce clarity texture, and then slide the noise reduction to about 25% and that's actually a better way to reduce noise is reduce clarity, sharpening, and grain instead of just pushing the noise reduction higher and higher, because that makes the background looks soft and mushy and unrealistic. That's a technique I've been using with the XT5 because in low light it's not as good

I own an XT5 and I've only XT5 for six months or so. Doing lots of landscape work and I'm blown away by the printing. I do a lot of larger printing as well. I've printed up to 2 m x 1 m with the FujifilmXT5 and it's blowing me away. It is so good. Yeah it's a 40 megapixel crop sense camera it shouldn't do that but it does. It's a fantastic camera in the right hands

Great comparision. It basically shows that at low and medium ISOs, the X- cameras with excellent lenses like the new 23, 33 and 56mm are excellent, good enough for virtually every use case. At really high ISOs like 8000, the difference becomes more apparent, the Gfx sensor is almost precisely 4x larger than the X sensor. But with the new intelligent NR and sharpness tools even that difference tends to blur. I as a non pro cannot justify the high price of a GF system, let alone the bulk and weight.

How are you using the Sigma 105 on the GFS sensor? You shooting in 35mm mode??

Why not use native Fuji glass like the GF 110mm f/2?

Nice comparisons. I wish I had XT5 to test. I did have Sigma 105mm f1.4 and to me GF 110mm f2 is a better lens. I also had 56mm f1.2 but that was in old XT1 days. Nice lens.

Great video - new subscriber. What I'd be interested to see, if you are willing to oblige, is a test using those two cameras with the same lens - with standardized settings out of camera, or in post. I think digital files would be just fine. No need to print. 1. Photograph a subject with the GFX. For example, 4 feet from camera. 2. Using same lens on XT5, also 4 feet from camera. 3. Using same lens on XT5, set to 4:3 aspect ratio, step further away until you can frame the image the same as you would for pic #1. Then look at the image area shared in common between 1 & 2. Compare characteristics of what each camera captured using the same lens at the same distance. The GFX file would essentially be cropped. Next, compare 1 & 3 to see what you get shooting the same composition using the different cameras and same lens. I'm curious to see how detail and color compare with the lens being a fixed variable. That aside, I think both prints are perfectly usable. I prefer medium format over APS-C (and FF) because I get more "real estate" using the same lens. I can fit more on a MF sensor without having to shoot wider and without having to step away from the subject.

The bokeh is what really stands out here. GFX for the win.

Professional printer here: Why show out of focus pics in a comparison 9:42min ?

What did you use for noise reduction?

The title of this video would be better to be "prints comparison of portraits." It's not the same if you compare landscapes, macro, etc. Although xt5 is an amazing crop camera.
