XT5, because I am an old git I like the analogue, I don't shoot video so don't need the car door mirror rear screen, which would also get in the way doing street. I don't need a big grip because out of habit (film) I hold the camera in my left hand, palm under the base, finger & thumb around the lens barrel. No wildlife but some sport and it works mighty fine indeed. But I can see why some people like and use the X-H2.

@Nathansmithphotography 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video. For me, the lack of a vertical trigger on a battery grip was a dealbreaker on the XT5. I was able to pick up the XH2 at B&H with the free battery grip and sale price for only $150 more than just the XT5. I honestly can’t believe that Fuji didn’t offer a battery grip option on the XT five since the XT, one, two, three, and four all gave you that option. And even though I do 95% photography, I also shoot 98% of the time in aperture priority with AUTO ISO, so even on my XT cameras normally the shutter and ISO dials are locked anyway.

Yes, I feel the same way. They should have offered a grip for the X-T5. I think you made the right move getting the XH2.

@jamesmlodynia8757 10 ай бұрын

I have both the XT5 AND XH2 In my camera collection, they are similar in some ways and different in others. The reason that I have both cameras goes back to the XT 3. The XT 3 was the first fujifilm camera that I had purchased, I had cameras from Panasonic, Pentax and Olympus and I use them for different purposes. I have been looking at the Xt camera bodies for some time, all the cameras that I own have been based on the DSLR style body. The good thing was that this style of body could handle any size lens, the fujifilm XT3 was a more compact body with a style that reminded me of my old film camera, I bought the XT3 after the XT4 WAS released, if it kept the screen of the XT3 I would have bought it but they used the flip out screen like most mirrorless cameras so I bought a slightly used XT3. I was so impressed with the camera that I wanted to wait to see what fujifilm would release next, while I waited I picked up a few lenses one of them being a 100-400mm fujifilm zoom. The lens was just what the doctor ordered but it overwhelmed the XT3 Body. When the XH 2S WAS released l didn't need the speed and I use the camera for stills,then the XH2 was released and it was the answer to what to do with the 100-400mm fujifilm lens, the body and grip were a perfect match for the 100100-400mm lens and for me has become my wildlife and landscapes camera when I need to use long glass. The xt5 was unexpectedly released with the same 40mp sensor and the same screen as the XT3, it was like an XT3 on steroids. It was the APSC camera that I waited 16 years for, that is how long I have been using digital cameras. with the XT5 my collection of cameras is complete.

I really couldn’t make up my mind, so my wife knocked some sense into me. I really like the size and LCD design of the X-T5, and I absolutely love the look of this camera. I shoot mostly still photographs, and have not desire for videography. So why the X-H2? First, I compose and shoot overwhelmingly through the evf. That high resolution evf sounded like a plus to me. Also, I think the PASM workflow will be more efficient for me, especially with the button and dial interface of the X-H2. My wife also warned me my teenage kids would lose patience if they had to wait for me to turn several knobs to switch shooting modes. As much as I love the look of the X-T5, the idea of working with knobs, and shooting incognito from the hip with that LCD, practical matters pushed me to the X-H2. Is one thing to romanticize working with knobs, and is another to ignore reality of how I typically like to work. Having to take my eye of the evf to adjust a knob would frustrate me in the end. This will be my first camera since my Nikon D90. Looking forward to shooting with the XF 50mm f1.4 and the 18mm f2. Pete, any recommendations on good small portrait lenses? I’ve been looking for a 50 or 56mm lens; although the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 seems tempting

@PeteCocoPhoto 2 ай бұрын

Awesome! I think you made a good choice. You are gonna love it. The 56mm is really good, I have the 50 f/1 and love it but it's very large and cumbersome. The Viltrox is good too, but again not the most compact. Size-wise, the 56 1.2 feels really perfect on the camera.

@vgfjr505 2 ай бұрын

@@PeteCocoPhoto Haha… You’re going to get a kick out of this. When it came down to pulling the trigger, I couldn’t do it!!! I bought the x-T5. I am a photographer first and in the end wanted a camera that’s going to excite me; something small I can carry around. I wanted something more conspicuous for street/documentary. I also realized through the manual that there are ways of customizing the command wheel to adjust the shutter and aperture. It’s a different working process but I am sure I will get used to it. My first camera was all knobs. Thanks for the recommendation; yes the Viltrox 75mm is on the big side. I did like the size of the 56mm lens and that’s what drew me back to it in the end.

I agree with you but I feel it’s more complicated than that, at least for me. Where I live there are no camera shops carrying either camera. I recently travel to visit a family member and took the opportunity to visit a shop. They had an X-T5 demo but no X-H2 demo. I could only look at the X-H2 and feel it through the plastic wrap that comes in the box. My first impression is that the difference in size or weight is not as big as I originally thought. The X-T5 build is not bad; the knobs are plastic but seemed sturdy and well built. Yes, I would have preferred metal. The X-T5 looks great if you love the old look, but the X-H2 didn’t look as boring as I expected either. Superficially, pretty much what I’ve heard in videos is about right in terms of look and feel. I think the difference will be in how each person likes to work. As much as I loved the look of the X-T5, I know I will end up using the front and back dial by the shutter to adjust the exposure simply because I like keep my eye on the evf. On the other hand, the LCD of the X-T5 is very enticing. I feel I can use it to shoot from the hip like I did with a twin-reflex camera I used once with much fun. Unfortunately the time I spent at the shop didn’t give me enough information as to which one I would prefer. I think they each have their advantage and unless you spent sufficient time using both, you won’t know what you prefer. In summary, I feel the X-T5 will motivate me to go and shoot more, but the ergonomics of the X-H2 fit more my style of working with cameras. I haven’t worked with a camera with knobs in so long that I don’t know how I would feel or adjust my workflow going back. That’s really my dilema.

As an owner of the XT2 since launch, I chose the XH2. It isn't my XT2 replacement. It's my work horse camera and the XT2 becomes my leisure camera. The deciding factor is the CFExpress card. Its seemingly unlimited buffer is very important when I shoot at an event. I dont want to miss a shot while my camera is buffering.

Nice video. Bought a couple XT5 bodies for short form videos / b roll. Chose the XT5 because I can continue using the 100’s of SD cards. The cost difference of the bodies is small, but when I added multiple CF cards the price got significantly higher. The XT5 does 90% of the XH, and yeah, the retro look is pretty cool. ;-)

I really am not a video shooter; however, I like the idea of a bigger body and the PASM dial - perhaps I'll give it a go. I love all things Fuji for nearly 15 years. A guy took a photo with a Fuji camera and sent me the JPG file for inclusion on my club's web site. I couldn't believe the color and detail. This was back in 2004 - at that moment, I became a fan. I have an 80th anniversary XT1. I love it and won't ever give it up!

Made sense for me to go for the XT-5. Though I loved the XH1 I realized I chose APSC for the size, so XH2 didn’t make sense for me since I use Fuji strictly for photos. I find the ergonomics of the XT5 perfect for my hands, and it’s so small! I held it next to an x100V with the TT Artisan 27mm pancake and the XT5 was about the same size! I also love the return of the 3 way tilt screen (which I loved on the XH1). XT5 is the best Fujifilm camera for me as it fits all my needs. Plus the new firmware update today autofocus is incredible! My 35 1.4 focus has never been faster or stickier lol (I may go buy and other XH1 because I do miss it, a special camera and highly underrated)

Similar reasoning here for the X-T5 over the X-H2. I originally bought an X-H1 from KEH used, which I loved but I had changed to Fujifilm from Sony for the fun of shooting photos. Though I loved the images that came out of the X-H1 it was too heavy and too like my A7III for me. I love to shoot photos not use the video capabilities so much. I returned the X-H1 and sprung for the X-T5 and I am totally in LOVE. I too have the TTArtisans 27mm f2.8 lens as well as the Fuji 18-55mm f2.8-4 and the Viltrox 75mm f1.2. I love Fujifilm and now I shoot every single day. The images that come SOOC are wonderful. Such a change from my Sony usage. My A7III sat on the shelf for 2 years unused. Also, now that third party lens manufacturers are releasing so many good lenses for Fuji and Fuji’s own great lenses are available, I don’t miss full frame at all. I hadn’t realized that I missed just shooting until I got my X-T5 in my hands. I’m very happy that I switched to Fujifilm.

Stepping up from, but keeping, my beloved X-T2, which probably has 200,000 shots on it.. I still find the T2 to be very capable, so when it came time to get something I considered everything from the T3, T4 and both X-H2's.. I was convinced the X-H2 was the right call (buffer, EVF advantages) but at the last minute went for the T5.. one factor was that I prefer the tilty screen, but if I'm really being honest it's just that the T5 in silver is so damn sexy 😆😅

I keep seeing people claim the C1-C7 function dial is only available on the H2. It's not. C1-C7 is on the Xt5 and is actually implemented better. On the h2 you have to use two hands to change the custom settings. on the xt5, you program a button on the back to show the C1-C7 options, then use the thumb wheel to select the custom setting and press the wheel in to confirm. IT's way better than on the H2 since you can do it all with your thumb and one hand.

Sensible overall review. Have owned XT20, XT2 for some years and had been waiting for Fujifilm to get into the present with AF- I ran out of patience and purchased a S10- mistake. It's an excellent camera, however, AF cannot hold a candle, in my perhaps skill challenged hands and brain, on AF. Missed quite a few portrait and people type shots with the S10. So for this type of work, purchased the excellent Sigma 56 1.4 and borrow a mate's 4/5 year old Sony a6400- just magic IAF- why has Fujifilm taken so low. The XT5 is obviously a top camera, however I would prefer its slightly more expensive sibling, PASM is great- fully appreciate many don't share this view- also, believe I would prefer the larger body + ability to add battery grip to its sibling, with the S10, battery life is very disappointing and purchased a mint used battery grip for my XT2. Video is, unlike most others in the world, largely irrelevant to me. Aware of the lens "compatibility" possible issues with the new bodies, though most of my glass should pass . If not, will probably be getting the excellent Sigma 28-50 2.8. Yes, will be testing the new body to make sure the AF is as reviewers have stated.

Don’t worry about lens optimization. It really doesn’t matter at all - I use a variety of lenses on the xt5 and have no complaints (both old and new).

appreciate your videos :) I have the XT4 and the XH2s, and what I notice is that the XH line has many idiosyncrasies that we have to re learn...I prefer the menu system of the XT series...double tap the joystick to center, quickly flip through the film simulations recipes through the Q button, quickly toggle between Manual, Continuous, and Single shot, and the ability to change exposure compensation when ISO is in Auto at any point....with all of that, the XH2s feels like a Tesla which just has this raw power that can snatch focus at any time, while the XT series feels like an old porsche - it drifts, not perfect autofocus, but within those limitations, you find the freedom of total control.

@PeteCocoPhoto Жыл бұрын

Thanks! The XT5 has those same menu idiosyncrasies relating the AF joystick. I wish they would change it back.

The XH2 is probably a better choice in that case but both are great

@GPadugan 7 ай бұрын

the thing most people need to understand is that these days, most camera companies are releasing cameras that compliment each other. Meaning, they are designing cameras with the intent that the customer buys two bodies. If you are shooting multiple genres or as explained in the video, a hybrid shooter, you really should have two of these fuji bodies. Either the h2s & H2 or the h2s & Xt5. Having both the xt5 and the h2 doesn't really make sense.

@PeteCocoPhoto 7 ай бұрын

Yes, this definitely makes sense for anyone shooting professionally. You must have a backup body anyway.

@PeteCocoPhoto 10 ай бұрын

Yes, I did a video about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp97ltGgzZvWh58.html It is definitely limited in the buffer though so it wouldn't be my first choice if that was my main genre. But for occasional sports and birding, I have found it to do well.

@@PeteCocoPhoto Thank you for the reply. The a6400 only supports UHS-I and the XT-5 UHS-II V90, and I have not had any issues using the a6400? I do not do any burst shooting longer than 3 seconds. I follow Jared Polin (Froknows) philosophy, If you do longer sustained shooting, one should be capturing the scene via video. I am a proponent of burst shot release burst. Am I missing some other limitation in the processor that may limit me with XT-5, than what I am currently using .. a6400?

XT5: unergonomic design, grip too small, much worse balance with heavier lenses, worse EVF; no cf express card (SD much slower SD, fast SD cards much more expensive, compared per GB), smaller buffer. When switching from sports to portrait - during a football game - or from portrait to studio/flash/macro .... - with the X T5 have to change 10-15 settings with the dials and menue settings, trying not to forget one of them.... whereas the XH2 is solving this with one turn of the PASM dial. In my use cases, I am changing these settings 3-5 times a day. This would be nightmare with the XT5.

@PeteCocoPhoto Жыл бұрын

I don't think it's all that bad haha. But yes, I agree for sports go with that PASM dial. When I use the XT5 for sports I just use the front/rear command dials like I would on the XH2.

@grafixnetz 11 ай бұрын

@@PeteCocoPhoto It IS that bad when you forget to change focus mode in a hot pinch. On the X-Ts you can't set that in a custom menu. Also the custom menus on the dial are AMAZING! I use the extremes for what I need most often: C7 for birds-in-flight set to burst mode and C1 for people/portraits. It's a set and forget system. If you're shooting sports and need to quickly do another kind of shooting, a simple twist of a single dial gets you there.
