So far I was not really interested in APS-C crop sensor cameras but the new Fuji X-T5 and Fuji X-H2 changed my mind. These two cameras are truely professional cameras for professional photographers despite the fact that they have a cropped sensor smaller than full frame or medium format sensors. In this video I provide a comprehensive introduction to these two cameras, compare them in great detail side-by-side and also do a shooting with five top-notch Fuji XF lenses.
Lenses I shot on these cameras:
- FUJINON XF 23mm F1.4 R LM WR
- FUJINON XF 50mm F1.0 R WR
- FUJINON XF 56mm F1.2 R WR
- FUJINON XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
- FUJINON XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR
Note: not all Fuji XF lenses are capable to resolve the high 40MP resolution. Fuji has a list of compatible lenses here:

On this website, look for a clickable blue/pink-colored area saying “XF Lenses with 40MP resolving power”. The five lenses I shot on the Fuji X-H2 are all on that list.

Note: I did not yet test in detail dynamic range of the 40MP sensor although I did shoot the cameras at night and dynamic range seems to be pretty high. If a large number of people drop me a comment and show interest in a detailed look into dynamic range of that new Fuji 40MP BSI sensor, I am happy to provide a detailed dynamic range test where I will look into the number of stops you can under- and over-expose and then recover information and detail in post.
By the way, the Fuji X-H2, Fuji X-T5 and the medium format Fuji GFX100s share the same battery system so you can swap batteries between these cameras.
