The resolution is nice but the IBIS is fantastic on the xt5. The batteries last twice as long,it focuses faster than xt3, the older lenses seem to have better image quality. The xt5 jpg,s are only 20 mb easy to deal with. Definitely worth the upgrade. Thank you so much for asking !

I'm still using and loving my X-T3 (usually with a battery grip, a facility that the X-T5 has bizarrely dropped). However, I also have the Sony A7RV, and I do have the options to change the resolutions of the RAW files. I mainly use it at 26mp, but more than occasionally 'treat' myself to a nice luscious 61mp image! Like you said, had the X-T5 given me a similar option, I would have upgraded from the X-T3, the lack of a battery grip being less if an issue with the better batteries, although I would miss the vertical controls.

Thanks. I’d just add that newest glass looks super sharp on the 26mp sensor, and the AF performance is a clear leap ahead from the oldest/“worst” lenses. Hence you don’t need a better body to enjoy an upgrade, per se, but better glass has been worth every penny and will perform even better if I ever switch to a 40mp body. But ya, no vertical battery grip cured my upgradeitis for the XT5-such a dumb move by Fuji. XH2 solves that, I guess, but if I go PASM, it will probably be with a Nikon, Canon, or GFX.

People are forgetting upgrading is not always better. Eventually we'll always need to upgrade but to keep buying the newest and latest version that comes out is just wasting your money. It's only worth it if you are someone who is filthy rich and buy 10 mirrorless cameras if you wanted without a hitch. Sure, go ahead spend another 2k on a new release if that's pocket change for you. If you upgrade, you'll also need to spend another $5K to invest in a new PC with top of the line graphics card which is hella expensive. You'll have to keep upgrading your PC specs to keep up with the processing power that is required. You'll need to upgrade to newer software programs too. Buy larger storage drives like 22TB drives ($400 each) won't be enough and you'll need to buy a few of those to keep on hand as well as more memory cards as 512gb will be way too small now. So yeah, upgrading will cost you a lot more money than just the camera.

I've decided to go for the X-T4 cause of the battery life, IBIS and fully articulated screen for my KZfaq headshots, but I understand that the X-T3 is also a beast of a camera with the same sensor. Therefore, this video has definitely made me realise that 26MP will be more than enough for my paid surf photography/videography work as well as high quality travel photography images. To be honest, if it weren't for the factors I mentioned about the X-T4, I probably would go for the X-T3.

Hey there - great - welcome to the family! if you do video with your Fuji camera, the T4 makes more sense indeed (I'd go with the XH2s probably since we are still talking 26.1mp but it means a budget and to start the T4 is amazing). And yes, 26mp is definitely enough for most of the photographers out there (not to mention the high ISOs will be handled better with a lower mp count). Take care and enjoy!

Hi Cris, I own the XT5 and a selection of "old" lenses and they produce wonderful results. Although I sold my XT3 over a year ago, comparing the results using the 35mm f1.4 they look crisper on the XT5. I think Fujifilm has confused everybody with their statement about the "old" lenses. According to a Fujifilm rep last year, he told me the resolution thing only concerned these older lenses at their lowest aperture. Once stopped down a bit they are fine and can take full advantage of the sensor.

Hey Michael, thanks and that’s very possible re: the lenses. Personally I like the “less” crisp and sharp results of the 26mp sensor personally (the reason why I always refused to go with Sony is because of the sharpness of the images and the clinical look).

Nice video Cris and I can understand many of the points you raised. I have always found it tough trying to work out which of the Fuji cameras is right for me ever since I moved from my Nikon DSLRs and pre-ordered the X-Pro2 when it was first announced. Certainly you make very valid points about the positive and negative sides to pixel-counts. More pixels gives greater resolution but possibly more noise so that is something to bear in mind. Also much larger file sizes so memory is another constraint. Then there is the style of rear screen; non-moving on the X-Pro2, 3-way tilt on the X-T2 and 3 against the front-flip X-T4 and so on. Plus different battery types, the availability of add-on battery grips etc. I guess I am lucky in that I have been able to buy, and keep, my X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T3, X-T4 and now I have also added an X-T5 so I can choose different cameras depending on my mood and need on the day. But for most folk, it can be a tough choice. Then of course there is the added option of one of the X100 range, the X-Pro3 and the XH series. Luckily I have never wanted one of any of those but it does add to both the choice and confusion. Your video was very interesting and informative Cris and I look forward to the next.

All good stuff and I agree that the XT3 is still a great camera producing great image quality if you don't need to crop in too far. One point I think is a bit unfair is about the lenses. Yes, Fujifilm - and they may have dropped a clanger here - have produced a list of lenses that are capable of resolving the full 40mp of the new sensor.....but, and this is backed up by Fuji themselves, the "older" lenses not on that list WILL perform BETTER on the XT5 than on the XT3..... This is because those lenses are capable of resolving 30 - 35 mp depending on the lens. This is greater than they can achieve on the old 26mp sensor.....so, it isn't necessary to change the lenses, just that there are some that will give better resolution for higher cropping and retaining more detail. This is hinted at in the small print at the bottom of that "list" that Fuji produced

Please don't spread the myth that you NEED to upgrade lenses. There is no magical hard limit that causes the 40mp sensor to be completely wasted just because of "non-optimized" lenses. Even older lenses still get a net-gain in detail from the 40mp sensor. It's extremely important to clarify that even if you have a bad lens, the only thing that will happen when you move to a higher resolution camera is that the impression of sharpness >per pixel< might be lower, but the >total< amount of detail in the image will still be at least as good as before. The way you word it can cause people to believe that they get a net-loss of detail if the lenses don't live up to the sensor resolution. This myth has been going on since the Nikon D800, it needs to die.

Ciao Mauro! Didn’t forget anything - that’s my reasons not to buy it (there’s nothing to “forget” 😁 1) don’t care about IBIS (never did - never will) 2) I focus the good old way and I always will (hell I even shoot manual focus on Leica M cameras) so definitely not a must for me 3) I mentioned that. But 40mp is an overkill for the editing I do (I “crop” with my legs when am shooting usually) 4) 😂😂 ok that’s a good point 😉 Take care

Leica is not the only one allowing to reduce the size of raw files - Sony since the A1 & A7IV also gives the possibilty. In the A7IV you have 33, 14 and 8 MP. And i believe the A7RV has 26MP when selected Medium which is the sweetspot you obviously prefer 😉 I also will propably get a XH2S cause of the 26MP and uncropped 4K60. BUT Leicas reducing algorithm seems a lot smarter... 60 to 36 is a very good step and 18 also perfectly usable. If the The XT5 would get this feature they would presumably reduce to 20MP like the Jpgs which is a bit too much of a step. 40,30,20 would be perfect i think.

Raw compression yes. I guess they woke up and smelled the coffee finally? Good to know - let’s see if Fuji does the same soon 🤦🏻 cheers

@@cris_photography I unfortunately doubt it. Unfortunately, Fuji has also become really sluggish when it comes to updates. The XH2S has been launched almost 8 months ago and still no usability updates for XH2S and S, only a AF update for the S...
