It would be nice to have a camera that does both still and video equally as well as the other, without sacrificing something, and I don't mind if there is an ability to use video, to a limited degree, on a digital "stills" camera, but I can't express my joy with the knowledge that the X-T5 is more of a "still cameras" camera for the majority, including myself. Fuji has done well deviding the X-T5 with the X-H2 ans 2s. PASM, stay on your side of the fence and best wishes with the X-H2/2s, and may our dials, from the X-T1-5 remain on future generations. Nice video - Thank You!

X-T4 was an anomaly in the line, because Fuji tried to patched the X-H1 market failure with it. And don't bring up the X-T200, because that's not really an X-T, more like X-A7 with EVF.

And sure people value different looks but I love the retro, film camera look the Fuji lineup offers, and the X-TX line is for me the perfect balance between looking cool and taking great photos. I think I'll be upgrading to the X-T5 and your video helped confirm my choice. Thanks!

Gajan, you did an outstanding job. You covered this with your friend from a photography perspective, which is who this camera is meant for, flip screen be damned. I have the same view as your friend as I was never overly excited by a flip screen. For video and maybe a few special circumstances, maybe, but photographers never had or really care about flip screens due to composition. You are right and whether you choose to or not you did the Fuji XT5 justice by sticking to the facts and leaving the fluff alone and for that in my mind, this was a review. It is a hybrid camera with video features, which is where the market is today, but all of the buttons and dials are back, and if you want a video-first camera, as you said the XH2 is more than capable.

@matthewneiman Жыл бұрын
at first I was a bit off-put by the removal of the flip screen, as an X-T4 owner who uses the video features for work, and photo features for fun, the video functionality was the main reason I went with the camera in the first place (along with it's great looks). But thinking about it more, when I'm using it for photography, and most videography (except when filming myself) the tilt screen is actually far more useful (and very critically for me, looks far less goofy when shooting on the street). Where as the X-T4 was 50/50 photo/video, the X-T5 seems more 60/40. A little upsetting as I love the X-T aesthetic and personally much prefer the exposure dials on the X-T system as opposed to the standard like on the XH2s, which better suites my needs in terms of 'features'. For me two years ago the X-T4 was the absolute perfect camera all around. Now I feel like I need (want) an X-T5 AND an X-H2s. Guess I just need to keep working and get both because they are uniquely compelling. :) Love the videos as always! Upon seeing half a dozen X-T5 videos in my sub feed I knew this one would be the most insightful and wasn't let down!

Been using it for fast equine sports photography for a couple of months now. I have got around it's shortcomings...if indeed they could be called that. The lack of a grip...has proved not a problem. The battery life is superb. The buffer...well, this is the biggest problem. However, shooting hief and compressed raw and only zone focus (Not subject detect, which affects this) I get enough for what I shoot. High ISO noise... it's definitely worse than the X-T3&4, but with noise reduction software where I have to shoot in lower light....well, that's a non issue. (Adds to my work time though) This camera is a beast...if I need to crop, wow! I love it and would wholy recommend the X-T5 100% 😁

5 Reasons I would upgrade to an X-T5 from my X-T30: 1) Deeper grip than previous models in the X-T line. 2) IBIS 3) The return of the tilt screen. I really wanted to buy the X-S10 because of it's deeper grip and IBIS but the trade off of going from the tilt screen on my X-T30 to the flippy screen on the X-S10 wasn't worth it. 4) Larger battery than my current Fujifilm cameras. 5) The elimination of that nasty battery grip interface from the bottom of previous X-Tx series cameras. I was joyful when Omar explicitly mentioned that in his review. I forgot how much I disliked that thing. I might actually buy an X-Tx series camera now.

Thanks for the excellent review. I agree, why is movie mode not just another option on the top dial? That's a great idea! We have between 1 and 8000 the T B A settings on the XT-4, why not add an M for movie mode? This would free the underlying dial to return to the metering mode settings as it was on the XT-3. I use the viewfinder for all my photography, and only use the screen for reviewing shots, so I couldn't care less how it is articulated. There are a few times I have to lie down or hold the camera above my head, but these situations are not going to make a big issue on how I choose a camera screen. Other than I want to be able to reverse it and close it - I just had the screen of my X100V shattered by what I can only imagine was a small knock. I'd prefer to be able to rotate and close the screen to a position that it is not vulnerable.

Not easy to me to decide what will be the evolution of my actual X-S10. I will try the wildlife photography and I think for those activities X-H2S is the best choice. But I am a photographer not a video maker ad also the 40Mpx allow me to crop images if I need to. Then X-T5 will be the right choice. But I love the multi angle screen of X-S10 and I had Nikon system and for me PASM is natural, the same of the X-H2 series and I don't like the screen and I never use the "old style" command of X-T5, maybe the X-H2 seems to be the right choice. But X-H2 is bigger and heavier of the X-T5 and has the CF card very expensive... Really I don't have a clear idea, better I have a big confusion in my mind!!!!

Very helpful. I can't decide between the xt5 and the xh2. There are things I like about both. I've also considered the OM1 but the APSC sensor will probably push me towards Fugi. I think the low light performance would be better.

Yep, I think it comes down to how much video you’re gonna capture. Anything more than 40% and you should probably go with the X-H series. At least in my opinion. Good luck!

1:51 Hahahahahaha!! Gajan you cheeky bugger! Did you just describe the X-T3 dial set up as a wishlist item for the X-T5? Clever inside joke.

This is the best comprehensive review so far 👌 and is there a need for this 40mp camera if you own the xt4 and a gfx50sii ?
@GajanBalan Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I don’t think there’s a need per se, I think it’s more about how this can elevate your work if at all.

Excellent review as usual Gajan. I moved over to Fujifilm a few years ago and wished I'd done so years before that (from another leading brand). Using my X-T4 totally reignited my passion for simply getting out there and shooting, but the resolution has often been a (slight) disappointment compared to by previous brick of a camera! the X-T5 will be top of my agenda when it's released and when funds allow.

Hi Gajan, do you have an arca plate from the x-t4 that you can test for fit on the x-t5? I’m wondering if the anti rotation pins match, such as the RRS plate from the x-t4. Thank you.

What would be a good starter lens for getting into Fujifilm cameras? I am very intrigued by this camera...would it just be to start with the kit lens? the 18-55mm?

Electronic shutter readout speed? Can the electronic shutter be used for action? Not upgrading until electronic shutter readout speed is at least 1/160s

I am so excited to get my X-T5 very soon as my first X camera. What do think about the new 30mm macro as my first lens for general imaging?
@GajanBalan Жыл бұрын
It’s a great lens, I don’t know if I’d make it the first one but it depends on what you shoot. Congrats!

For general purpose photography, which lens would you suggest for my first lens?

Yea this room was actually not treated well. Tbh Audio is something I’ve had to wrangle over the months and only now I feel like I’m getting the hang of it. Always been a visuals first guy 😅
