I love your custom mode trick! One thing that's surprised me with the X-T5 is that almost any change I make only applies to particular Quick Menu group I'm in, and is a permanent change until I change it again. Which means you can have seven vastly different groups of settings to toggle between. Which is all good fun for simulating old film types or for responding to certain environments, but I've used your trick to allow me to toggle back and forth between them an a lovely generic group that I can trust to get good detail in any light. To reduce wear and tear on my camera, it's also the only group fully set to a shutter other than electronic, so that I can switch to it in one button press when needed.

One of very few opinions I take to heart right here. Even with a bigger price difference here in the US it was still close enough for me to choose the XH2. However, when I feel it’s time to add a street only camera, the XT5 is at the top of my list. Looking forward to the coming videos!

My experience with the XT5, the autofocus especially for animals and pets was great. The resolution bump was noticeable. After a few days use I noticed a dead pixel on the rear screen. Sent it back for a refund. Waited three weeks for a replacement which is still on backorder. Cancelled the backorder when I realized I'm still perfectly happy with my x100v and XT3. In the end I just couldn't justify the cost of the XT5.

Thank you so much Roman for these useful thoughts about the X-T5. I purchased the camera and I use it along with the X-T4 for travel and street photography. I use both cameras whenever I am outside shooting because simply I don’t like to change lenses on the go. My typical set up is XF 35mm F2 on the X-T5 and the XF 16mm F1.4 on the X-T4. Thanks for the tip as well. I applied it already. 😊

I got mine on day of release and absolutely love it. When I first opened the box I honestly thought they'd sold me an X-T30, it looked that small. Mine will be my main stills camera alongside an X-T2, with an X-T4 for mainly video work. Loving the extra resolution already :-)

Fortunately the XH2s is on the border of being just the right size and weight. I don't need all those pixels! On the bad side, I don't care for the articulating screen since I'm 60% street photographer, but for other 40% of events, I'm a very happy camper with my XH2s!

Excellent overview. Really useful, and reinforces my New Year plan to upgrade from X-T2, but only to an X-T4. Not easy for me to justify the extra £££s for an X-T5, for the reasons that you mention. Really liked the deep-contrast shadow shots around London, too.

Great video and yes, it takes time to truly review this hardware. I’m still learning it after more than a month and a half. I don’t agree with all the naysayers arguing that it’s an unjustifiable upgrade. If you’re a Fujifilm photographer and have been on one of the older bodies, comfortable with the system and menus, and use these cameras professionally, it’s truly justifiable. I have found it as reliable as the X-T3 and the focus system greatly improved. The enhanced video features are a great added benefit. But with any new system/processor, it takes time to learn how to use it. It’s not completely turnkey. Great video.

As an X-T4 user, I tried the X-H2, hated it and returned it. The form factor was too big for travelling (for me anyway). Also what keeps getting missed is that X-H2 range only have 7 presets which have to be shared between video and photography. On the X-T5 you get 7 presets for each. Its size is also compelling - it feels way better in my hand. As for the flippy screen, even as a videographer primarily, I much prefer the tilt screen - it is faster to set up. But then I don't ever video myself - so I guess I understand it is an issue for those that do.

@MaineMountainMedia Жыл бұрын

Great review. so far I love this camera which is no surprise since it is so similar to T3 and T4 and I love them too. I think it's a suitable upgrade and build quality can only be judged over time (as you said). I think the X-H series is not a matter of "if you can afford it." Fujifilm is so darn affordable that it really comes down to preferences. That's why they make so many different models, different cams for different people.

I often shoot at waist level and the potential for cropping, straightening and reframing is insane! Like the one-touch custom mode idea by the way.👍

I feel like the X-T4 hits that sweet spot. Some XH features in an XT body. I.e. flip out screen and battery grip and a better built. I feel like I’d be giving up more upgrading. Instead of needing two cameras just one. Either way the X-T5 is a great camera but for my needs the X-T4 fits more for me.

@Peter-bj4dr Жыл бұрын

Since the X-T5 came out I got a pretty decent deal on the X-T4 at my local dealer with the 18-55 lens and went for it. Personally for me it is a big improvement from the Nikon D350s which I bought after Highschool in pretty much every aspect. Since I don’t crop a lot or blast my pictures on house walls the higher price wouldn’t have justified the pixel increase for me personally. I am happy to join the Fujifilm family and are looking forward to a lot of great photo sessions. Thanks Roman for your videos and inspiration that have been part of getting back into this wonderful hobby!

H2 is super performant but I don t need that and I’d not be crazy about the design found in all other brands. Kills a bit of the magic doesn’t it ahah? Super personal opinion of course, H2 is an amazing camera.

Hi Roman, Thank you for sharing that both informative and beautiful video 🔥. I got an XT4 beginning of the year (I’m coming from an Xe3) and I really think it is a very capable and fun to use camera. Throughout my journey with the xt4 I mainly complain about the flipping screen, the chunky feel of it and sometimes the autofocus.. I was about to sell my Xt4 and upgrade but the main concern I have is about the files size .. how much bigger are the 40MP files and how much impact would it have on the storage/editing system you use ? Thanks for that feedback! Cheers from France !

Nice initial review We have 1 X-T5 in our mix of cameras, and don't have a bad word to say about it. (but I am more than happy with the X-T3s too since i don't print bigger than 18" x 12" and don't need to crop) We don't own any of the X-H cameras and the reason for that is we don't need the deep buffer, and the cost difference between the XH2 and X-T5 was a lot more in reality, due to the need to buy CF Express type B cards that would have added at least another £500 to the price, when currently we have lots of very fast SD cards. Eventually I'm sure we will need to make the jump to CF Express type B cards with new cameras, but by then the price will have dropped too

@Optidorf Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you addressed the buttons that seem a bit less robust compared to previous models. When I received the X-T5 the first thing I did was comparing it to the X-T2 and the first thing that I noticed were indeed the buttons that were a bit more loose. Regarding the price the X-T5 is way too overpriced in Europe (2000 euro). If you have a fairly recent model I don't consider it an essential buy. I waited two years for the X-T2 after its release to buy it and I had to pay 900 euro. I'm not sure if this is still working in these times. The X-T4 is out for more than two years, but still is selling close to the original retail price.

Don't know if I agree with the EVF comment. For some reason as someone wearing glasses the new EVF with the XT5 is SO much bigger. I was in between getting the xt4 again and the xt5 and the increase size of the evf alone is the reason to get the XT5. The XT5 has been a really nice upgrade from the XT4, the increase in photo quality is apparent, I'm blown away everytime I look at the photos from the camera. Only thing I don't like is the mode buttons seem to move more than the XT4.

I would like to put in my 2 cents (or pence depending on which side of the pond one is). The XH2 lacks the focus lever, the click command dial, and the tilt screen that the XH1 had. It seems the XH2 made turned one step processes in the XH1 into 2+ steps. These are the reasons I decided to get the XT5 in stead. Interesting (read that "unfortunate) solution fuji designed for the exp comp function in the XH2 and XT5. In the former, one must first press the exp comp button then move to a dial somewhere. And on the XT5 they kept the exp comp dial on the deck (which on previous generations of XT's it ALWAYS got turned accidentally). But the XT5 also has a clickable comand dial that can be programmed to exp comp. So the XT5 has duplicated this funciton while the XH2 has made it more complicated. I like the latter functionality which makes the large top deck dial supurfluous. I personally am not married to vintage controls. IMHO, the most important fact is the number of movements required to execute a function should be kept to 1 for as much as possible.

XT5 has exactly the same processor and sensor so the image quality, low light performance and auto focus will be exactly the same. I can't comment on the build quality as I have not held the XH2....but to me, one is purely for still photography with a very capable vid spec for those who want it, whilst the XH2 is a hybrid camera. I like the way Fuji has gone with how they have put a marker down and separated stills, hybrid and video first cameras

Honestly it's nothing to do with the processor and sensor... It's a bit like buying a premium car with a 600bhp v8... but on the lower trim model, the plastic inside is a little cheap you know. As for features, the XH2 has more features... not everyone will care (I don't) but some would

I just got my hands on an XT5 and it looks great with the retro design and dials. That being said, I managed to get a feel of the XH2 in the store and it felt much more comfortable and better to grip - more natural in my hands. I’m new to Fuji and photography so I don’t know if dials or PASM will be better for me as as a beginner to learning photography. I do understand why still focused shooters would prefer the tilt screen as I have spent 2 weeks shooting with it, but I also feel that the articulating screen is more versatile and being able to rotate it inwards to protect the screen when not in use is a bonus. I’m planning to do landscape, portrait, architecture and KZfaq. If you have the chance to trade the XT5 for the XH2 without topping up any cash, would you do it?

Smaller size and inability to fit a battery grip broke this deal for me and I will not add one to my current lineup of X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T3 and X-T4. And I had been REALLY looking forward to it quite some time. For me, a real disappointment.

Xt5 plus pancake lens seems to be a better option and alternative to the impossible to order x100v. Think it’s time for me to upgrade from my xt2

As an X-H1 user, I wished for an X-H2 with retro dials and the same 3 way tilt display. So for the longest time I argued against buying one. But for 1645.- CHF in Switzerland ($1768/ £1468) it would have been dumb to say no. It's even cheaper than the X-T5 (still only preorder) and only 160.- CHF ($172/ £142) more than a new X-T4. And you get a 4-year extended warranty.

I just bought the X-T3 new this year for 920 EUR. As I never shoot videos and barely crop my images I don't really need Ibis and 40 mp.

Loved the custom setting tip, immediately tried to replicate it on my xt4 and realised 1) you can't recall custom settings 2) it wouldn't save the focus and photometry options :(

Fantastic video, thank you. Which SD cards do you use, please? I am using a demo X-T5 and after taking a picture the viewfinder blacks out for a few seconds and the little squares spin. I’m not seeing a preview of the picture in the EVF either. I’m doing something wrong. Thank you.

Waiting for x-pro4 with same specs and new titanium (or maybe platinum 😅) design) my point of view is that x-t5 is a bit a step back from design perspective... like flashback to x-t3 a bit... no feel of something new in hands...

@matthieuzglurg6015 Жыл бұрын

Since you're already an X-H2S owner I was convinced you'd go for the X-H2 rather than the X-T5 to be honest. That's what I would have done to streamline the form factors and memory cards (I mean I still prefer SD cards over CF express so I get it)

Love my X-T5, and I'm really starting to think it can replace my X100V, especially if I pick up a smaller 23mm lens (come on fuji, we need a 23mm pancake lens!). I'm looking to get a 27mm F2.8 though. I think its the slightly smaller size and better grip the X-T5 has, coupled with the lighter package that is pushing me to part with the X100V. I just cannot see me using that camera much any more. I Kept my X-T4 as this is my main hybrid and video camera, although the X-T5 is very capable as a video shooter. The 40mp allows for more cropping too.

@snapsbyfox Жыл бұрын

To be honest the XT5 can replace both your cameras... unless you need specifically 2 bodies

@NatsWright Жыл бұрын

@@snapsbyfox Certainly something i'd consider, but Its handy to have two bodys for what I do, so am happy to keep the X-T4. The X100V, though, is probably going and I can put the money towards some glass.

You can probably get all your money back on an x100v too

Beginner to photography. Looking to do product + family/ wedding photography. Do I go with an RP in hopes to improve and get a better canon down the line. Or do I get a Used Fuji XT3 , maybe XT4? Also what are your thoughts on extended warranties. Thank you

Nice video i love to shoot whit the xt5 in future. Is the viewfinder difference between the xh2 and the xt5 big or are the pixel number just numbers?

@carldaniel3155 Жыл бұрын

Hi Has anyone tried the 'M' file sized jpegs option? I believe makes 20mb file size images (rather than the 'L' 40mb file size). For AF tracking accuracy/noise/image processing etc... I see complaints about eye tracking, higher iso noise and load times in LRC and editing issues. Maybe the lower resolution files 20mb would improve this? Currently have x-t3 (26mb files more than enough for me) so 20mb would not be much of a res drop. Thanks

Hello, I have a question! In the process of changing the menu settings, I feel a little bit of heat in the camera body within a few minutes. Is this normal? I don't feel it when I take pictures.

Hi roman, how do you expose / edit for picturs like the one at 13:38? I find that when i try this the sun blows out the rest of the picture, and if i change shadows / highlights in post with masks it doesnt look quite natural

@magnetoclash Жыл бұрын

Thanks. … With the 40 megapixels, can you err to the side of a wider lens, and then crop in to get the desired frame not fearing too much of a loss in detail and quality?

@Dennisoneiljr Жыл бұрын

Have you tried the crop mode on the X-T5? I used to love the ability to push one button and punch in with a prime on Sony. I haven't seen any videos that show this new crop(digital teleconverter) mode on the X-T5. Thoughts on this? is it clunky to use and require more than one button press?
