Fujifilm X-T5 vs X100Vi | Which Is The Most Practical?

Рет қаралды 1,001

In this video I discuss why I am considering changing up my cameras, and whether the Fujifilm X-T5 is more practical for me than the X100Vi.
Should I replace both my Fujifilm X-H2 and X100F, or keep at least one as a backup camera?

Loving my X-T4. Fuji make great cameras. Still love my Nikon's though.

X-T4 is a great camera, apart from the flip out screen in my opinion. I think that Fuji nailed it with the X-T5 though.

@@rogerbrooksfilms I wanted the flip out screen for selfie video. I'm a KZfaqr man. Need my flip out screen... Hahahah. I got used to that with the X-T200. This camera has much better autofocus and IBIS than the X-T200. Otherwise I wouldn't have upgraded.

It is interesting that control-wise, XT4 is close enough to the XT5, aside from the flip-out screen. I really thought I could learn to love the flip-out screen; in the end I flip the screen closed and pretend I got a XPro3 and only need the EVF... I was a Canon fanboy and never got into Nikon; but, it is great to see Nikon flourish these days and that there's still a lot of used Nikon gear you can easily get and enjoy.

If I hadn't bought XH2 and waited for XT5, knowing what I know now about what I tend to shoot would have definitely bought XT50 as my secondary camera for all the things you said. I now use XH2, X100VI, and occasionally XPro2 or XT30 for times I want to go lightest with f/2 primes. Bought the X100VI for fun as my first Fujifilm is the X100S. Still not a fan with the X100VI back controls (i.e., lack of controls including 4 button d-pad) that I struggled with on the XT30. In the end I went XT5 because the XT30 was only $300 USD cheaper while missing WR, extra function buttons/d-pad, better EVF (sucks when eyes start to get old). I also prefer tilt screen like on XT5 over fold out found on XH2. Bought XT5. Now finding I use the XT5 as my main camera and only use the XH2 when I need two cameras or plan on shooting mostly with my bigger/heavier lenses. On travel, I like having both a ultra wide and standard zoom on two bodies to quickly grab snapshots as I run around. Carrying XH2 and XT5 around my neck is OK; bigger problem getting both to fit well in my camera bag. Great situation to have a Sigma 10-18/2.8 or wide prime on the XT50 with wrist strap, attached to the side of my bag with a Peak Design capture clip and my main camera around my neck. Ah, well. Nothining to do but go out and shoot with what I got and do my best until old age finally forces me to go even lighter and smaller.

Yeah, I agree re: the back controls on the latest X100’s, I love the d-pad on my X100F, and that’s one of the reasons why I love the X-T5. The X-T50 is a very interesting camera, and I can see why you’d have one in your setup. Time will tell whether my X-T5 remains my main camera, particularly after my X100Vi arrives… I prefer the look of the X100Vi, but the functionality and feel of the X-T5 is superb in my opinion. I am 59 at the end of July, and therefore I feel you when you talk about ageing and camera setups. 😉😂

@@rogerbrooksfilms Ugh. FWIW, I'll be 58 at the end of July. Back when I used Canon DSLRs, I argued that it was worth exercising a lot to be able to lug all that heavy Canon gear around. Switched to Fujifilm starting with X100S and then X-T1 and decided saving about half the weight was a good thing... Pity M43 and smartphones still aren't good enough...

I am slowly learning more about cameras. Very slowly. I’m still with my second-hand Nikon and at some point will buy a new modern unit.

Good to hear mate. Stick with the older gear for now while you’re developing a good understanding of the basics… particularly the exposure triangle.

That's awesome you can still enjoy going out and taking photos with older gear. Embrace it; keep G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) away as long as possible.

Get them all😂. I also have the 100-VI on pre-order. Maybe we will get it by Christmas. About 2 years ago, I sold my Canon gear and bought an X-T5 and several lenses for my main kit. I also recently purchased the X-S20 mainly for a separate video camera and backup to the X-T5 for photography. I also use it for some travel where I want a smaller camera. It’s a great camera as well. Get them all I say. Hope I like the 100-VI.

Haha, love that idea! 😉✌️ I was a Nikon guy for ages, moved to Fuji when I fell in love with street photography and purchased my X100F.

In the end, that's probably what I'll want to do: buy them all eventually. Life is too short; you just don't know when you'll die. So that next vacation trip might be the last good one; why not buy that XT50 in charcoal? I'm grateful that I'm not really into videography --- my DJI Pocket 3 is adequate for my needs. Would hate to be compelled to also buy a XH2S and/or XS20 as well.

If you're ok with manual focus the Voigtlander 27mm Ultron f2 lens is perfect on the XT5. Smaller than any other pancake lens with terrific image quality. They are a bit expensive but worth it imho.

@rogerbrooksfilms 22 күн бұрын

Good call, because I’ve been looking at both their 18 and 27. I’m trying to have lenses that will also cover any b-roll that I’d like to shoot on the X-T5, although not totally necessary.

I love my xt5, it is a perfect travel kit when paired with the 16-80 zoom. Though that lens is only f4 you have in body IS and OIS so you can shoot with slow shutter speeds. But, at 77 of age, I do find it heavy so I also have the xt30ii which I use for street work. I pair it with the 23 f2 and sometimes the 27 pancake and that fits in a jacket pocket. It's a lovely little camera and I find I gravitate towards that instead of the xt5, unless it is raining!

Ironically I never really warmed up to the 16-80/4 when I bought it when it was released. Today (07/03/2024) I used it on a trip to Disneyland. It worked rather well, especially stopped down a bit and was fine at f/4 at lower light. In these snapshot situations, I don't really mind if the edges are a little soft. If I didn't need the 80mm reach, I rather use the Sigma 18-50/2.8. Sooner or later, I'll want to try more street photography with my f/2 lenses and probably my XPro2; if that's too heavy, I'll use my X100VI and pretend 23mm focal length is all I'll ever need.

X100V would make a nice stand alone camera if your main system is not Fujifilm. If your main system is Fujifilm and you could only own one camera of the current sensor generation, I rather own a XT5 than a X100V or X100VI.
