Another great video and the cameo of Eric stealing the show 😅 glad to hear your experiences with the X-T5 and highlighting how capable this camera is for the pricepoint. Love the forest imagary and all the sample photos you put in the video!! Thank you for sharing your fun spirited personality it's always a joy catching a slice of your life and adventures and I look forward to the next one 😊
Thank you very much for this comment and I apologise that I missed it until now! He always does steal the show, he is too sweet! the camera is great and very versatile. I am so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words! 🙃✌🏻
What I like about your reviews is that they are aimed at actually using the equipment in the real world rather than obsessing over every minute technical detail. Sometimes reviewers forget that the whole point of photography is the picture.
Thank you so much for this! and yes, that's what it's all about for me, the enjoyment of photography and how it actually works in the field in an unpredictable-not-studio environment 🙃✌🏻
Got mine last Sunday but I’ve not used it yet… still to set it up in the way I’ll use it. I have the X100v and the image quality from that camera was better than the full frame camera I had, which I sold to get the X-T5 so I’m looking forward to seeing what it can give me. Bought mine with the WR kit lens and the 35mm f2 WR prime. Nice review 👍🏻🏴
Yeah, gotta love those XT series cameras! What sold me were definitely the dials. Having direct control over the exposure triangle is so convenient. 🤓 Despite your fantastic review, I won't upgrade from the XT-4 though. The new sensor seems fantastic, but I think I can wait until the XT-6 to upgrade. Probably. Maybe. 😅 Cool outtakes again, and the "Timmy" bird was so funny. I heard it too! 😆
I was a tad dubious about the 40mpx sensor, thinking something must have been sacrificed for the upgrade. I have the x-t4 & 100-400+1.4 t/c & was in a position to 'upgrade' one or t'other. The 150-600 didn't offer enough potential improvement in IQ to offset the major inconvenience of carrying a much bigger lens, so I opted for the x-t5 & cropping. Had the x-t5 for several months now & haven't used the x-t4 for a single image: My intention was to keep it as a 2nd body, in case I found shortcomings with the new camera, but am going to sell it.
I agree, the dials and the classic vibe is definitely a winner. The XT series are cameras for the lovers of photography and enjoy the tactile elements. You are right about the convenience for the exposure triangle too and I think it works well for anyone wanting to pick up and understand the fundamentals of photography. That is ok, you stick with what suits you! It took me 3.5 before I decided to upgrade an already very old X-T3. I will be interested to see what the X-T6 would include! Hehe thank you, and yes the bird definitely said Timmy! I'm glad you heard it! 🙃✌🏻
As usual, lovely, lovely video! I just picked up the X-t5 to MAYBE replace my X-t30ii and accompany my Xh2s! So, yeah, will definitely stay tuned… and more Eric please 😊.
All my portfolio work has been done by the XT5 since I got it. I didn't plan it that way and I've been shooting other cameras including 4x5 film, but the XT5 images always rise to the top. (OK, a few have been shot with the Xh2, but it's the same sensor... 🙂🙂)
Nice review…although you did miss my favourite aspect of the camera in the screen which tilts 2-ways not just the usual uppy-downy landscape job….Love to Eric, he’s a star ❤
Thanks for this review! 😃👍 I should not, but i will probably buy a Fuji once i am back in Switzerland in 10 days. I still hesitate between an XS-20 for its vlogging capabilities (its a bit like a Swiss knife), or an X-T5, because its beautiful, cool, and great... 🤔 Hard decision. I don't know why, but i wanted to tell you about the complicated choices i have in my life... Thank you for reading.
Hehe why not treat yourself! The only down fall I have found with the X-T5 if you are wanting vlogging is that you cannot fully rotate the LCD screen- i have found this fantastic on my XH2S and that’s why I use that all the time now for vlogging. So it depends what you are after, I haven’t tried the XS-20 for vlogging or photography so I cannot say on that. Hehe but I can see why that is a complicated choice and I am glad you told me but I don’t know if I helped 😄✌🏻
I had decided not to buy the XT5 and stay with my XT4 , which is great but I hate the flippy screen. Recently I was offered a good deal on a demostration Fuji 150-600 and was amazed at the detail it gave on birds feathers. Despite not intending to, I have a Fuji XT5 arriving tomorrow. Your review of the 150-600 was great ,perhaps I should stop watching your videos to save money! Although i cant blame you for the XT5 as ordered it before watching your review.
Hehe this made me laugh! I am sorry and I have this problem too.. I test equipment and end up buying it - it’s Fujifilm’s fault 😅 I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the X-T5, it is brilliant and the details are fantastic especially with the 150-600mm, have a wonderful time with your equipment, it is a mighty set up for sure 🙃✌🏻
Brilliant as ever - that is called a proper camera review. Even though I already have an X-T5, I am now tempted to try shooting in FHD 120P as I have never tried that before. Thank you :)
It was seeing your photos why I was so excited to use it! Fujifilm should make you an ambassador as your work is stunning! and it is a brilliant camera, I really enjoyed using it 🙃
Excellent, very entertaining review and video as always! And I loved the bloopers! Curious if you're moving on from the X-T3 now that you've tried the X-T5 or is the X-T3 a good enough companion to your XH2s? I decided to stick with my X-T3 for a bit longer, since I think the 40MP would probably slow down my post-processing. But not discarding it for the future, it looks like a great camera! Cheers!
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it! hehe the bloopers always make me chuckle, especially Erik being potato 🙃 It is a tough one, the XT3 quality wise is still good but I think just some features I have noticed are a bit slower i.e. the autofocus, but it is still working great and I would never get rid of it as it has too much sentimental value to me -- being my first camera. I really am loving filming on the XH2s but this means I cannot use it for photography either so I need to have a think about my set up. Ideally I would like to upgrade to the XT5 or possibly to the XH2 (I like the fully articulated screen, it works well from my vlogging and self portrait photography) but I shall see as it all costs a lot. I hope that helps and actually the 40mp was fine for post-processing, I didn't notice it slowing anything down 🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria Erik being a potato was phenomenal 😄I'm glad you have such a sweet furry companion with you in all your travels. And good to know about the 40MP not slowing you down noticeably! I have considered also the XH2, but I still like so much all the tactile controls of the X-T line, although I've heard the quality of the X-H2 and X-H2s is top notch and better than the new X-T, like you said, with the paint and even the dials. But oh well, first world problems. They're all great cameras in the end. Thanks for your response and keep on with your adventures! Didn't get a chance to comment on but loved the wildlife series in Africa as well! 🦍
Thank you very much for this! I like to provide lots of samples to show how diverse it is and hopefully it covers the areas people might use it for. Thank you again! 🙃
Thank you for watching ☺️ oooo that is a tricky question.. I would day yes it is worth it, just with the updated sensor, auto focus and other bits to the camera. If you are just wanting a second camera the X-T3 is still good - i still use mine but personally, I would like an updated 2nd camera but that unfortunately costs lots! So yeah, as a main camera and upgrade it is definitely worth it, as an additional camera the X-T3 is a great option 🙃
Such a good review. I’m a beginner and the way you break down every aspect of the camera was great, it really helped me to understand the camera and what I could get from it. ☺️
aww this made me smile lots! I really hope it can help you and if you need any help or have questions about photography please do not hesitate to ask. Being a beginner is super exciting so embrace it! 🙃
Great review Victoria! Just thought I'd mention that the Sandisk Extreme Pro ii 300MB/S cards have worked great with my X-T4 for fast shooting and filming sports, so I guess they'll be good for the X-T5, but I'm no expert;). They're expensive, but definitely worth it if you do a lot of fast action photography. Having said that, I've found that timing and picking the right moments are key. "Spraying and Praying" could lead to dealing with the buffer freezing, so I guess it's down to practice and knowing the sport. Keep up the great work and once again, your photos are fantastic!
Thank you! And that is great to know thank you for sharing that! I had someone else say they use the 300mb/s so that solves that problem 🙃 it’s ok to pay a bit more for a good SD as it means you don’t have to upgrade a whole camera 🙂 Yes you are totally right! It’s remembering the trigger is not one of a gun but a camera, so choose wisely and be intentional with your photos 🙃 Thank you again for watching and this comment, also I hope you are doing well and still enjoying Morocco? 🙃
@@wildandfreevictoria no worries:). Yeah still enjoying Morocco. It's been super fun to photograph and video at the skatepark. Just waiting for the surf season so I can start offering potential clients video shoots. Also aiming to change the videos of my channel to maybe do short cinematic type films involving surf, travel and nature. What video editing software do you use by the way cause your videos look amazing, particularly when you do slow motion?
Nice review Victoria. I love my XT-4 and want to have a go at high speed photography so thanks for the advice. The XT -5 is on the wanted list now. Have a great week. 👍😎
Thank you very much ☺️ Yes definitely get a fast reading SD card, many of the comments have said a 300mb/s works well for them. Hehe it is a fantastic bit if kit! And enjoy your week 🙃✌🏻
What a breath of fresh air your video is. I love your images, and I love the locations. You connect with the whole creative process, immersing yourself in where you are, but still explaining the technical side. Thank you so much. I'm about to invest in this camera and system, so I've found the video really helpful - much more so than the usual blokey approach. Brilliant!
This is such a lovely comment! Thank you!! I’m really glad you found the video helpful, I just wanted to come from the perspective of using the cameras in the field and how I get on with them from a creative and passionate way. Thanks again! 🙃
Got mine last Sunday but I’ve not used it yet… still to set it up in the way I’ll use it. I have the X100v and the image quality from that camera was better than the full frame camera I had, which I sold to get the X-T5 so I’m looking forward to seeing what it can give me. Bought mine with the WR kit lens and the 35mm f2 WR prime. Nice review 👍🏻🏴
It’s been so hard for me to decide on a new camera. I had an XE4 and this made me absolutely fall in love with Fujifilm. I’ve since had to sell that camera and am now looking to buy a new one. The XT-5 seems like the perfect camera for me but my only concern (based off all the reviews I have seen) is the burst rate and auto focus. I really want to get into wildlife photography but I’m on the fence whether or not the XT-5 will be a sufficient camera for this vs what else is on the market in the same price range
Picking a camera is always tricky! I have the XH2S (mainly for both filming and photography) and it has been fantastic with wildlife. I do have a comparison review coming out of the XH2s and the X-T5 which will talk more about practical use in the field. Fujifilm also allow you to rent their lenses and cameras for 48 hours for free (with a deposit) so maybe do that so you can get a feel if you like it or not? also if it is going to match the style of wildlife photography you are looking at i.e. faster paced or small/larger subjects. I hope that helps, best thing is to test the equipment then you will know yourself if it is sufficient enough 🙃
Thank you, for which pictures? The wildlife? Well that isn't a high ISO for a telephoto, it is quite normal. Also, I was doing everything hand held on a boat so needed a higher shutter speed - and the birds were in flight (if that's the shots you were on about). And the pictures came out clear and sharp, so all good 👍
Hello, you are amazing photographer, continue, I love your clips and off course you☺️ I’m sony photographer but I like your photos, love you from Milton Keynes ❤️
Aw thank you so much for this! It’s a lovely thought reading that someone all the way over in Florida is watching this, thank you ☺️ and hello from rainy Scotland! Enjoy the sunny hot Florida 🙃✌🏻
Hi Victoria. Thanks for the review and good vibe. I was honestly waiting for a more « in-depth » review and or comparison with the XT3 and XH2S as you use all these cameras and was disappointed until you finished the video mentioning this comparison was your next piece so you got me hooked there. Your honest review/comparison on these 3 models for wildlife is high on my list. Hope you will enjoy filming it. Cheers
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Well.. it is a review of the X-T5 sooo… 😅 As mentioned there will be a comparison review coming out but I won’t be doing a comparison with the X-T3, just the XH2s and XT5. Thanks ✌🏻
Thanks for the review! Been confused between this or Xh2s vs The song A7iv all 3 of which are equally priced here in Canada. Low light gives Sony an edge but this seems better on all other fronts. That is considering the sensor vs apsc..
Thank you! Buying a camera body is a nightmare, I find it too confusing! Personally for me I absolutely love my XH2s and it has worked fantastic in low light - especially when drawing images through onto lightroom and having a great image to edit. If you can I would see if you can rent the camera bodies ti test out. In the UK you can rent Fujifilm equipment for 48 hours for free (obviously have to leave a deposit) but see if there is the same in Canada and then it will give you a good chance to feel what suits you best 🙂
I think they are different the XH2s is something around the 5.76 million dots with 0.8xmagnification and refreshes at 120fps, and the X-T5 has 3.69 million dots, 0.8x magnification and 100fps refresh rate. But to be honest, when I used both I thought they were both great :)
@@wildandfreevictoria I had the Sony A7RII with 3.7 mega dots, now I use Sony A7RIV and A7RIVA with 5.8 mega dots, I used the RIII and the RIV side by side, the RIV are much better for manual focusing for macro and Landscape fx (I guess you only use autofocus !?), now I wish for the 9.5 mega dot EVF !
@@cameraprepper7938 why would I only use AF? No, I use a mixture as I always shoot in manual with everything else so I also mix up my focus as well. So no I don’t just shoot in auto. That’s cool about the sony, I don’t shoot sony, i’m just giving you the info you asked for about the Fujifilm models.
Hello, if I can remember well I used the AF-C and the tracking focus (in focus area) or the subject tracking (bird or mammal) along side the CH high burst mode - you can test these out by 15fps up is good. If you are doing a wildlife hide set up or in a situation where your subject is staying still but potentially going to fly away then also don’t forget you can use autofocus lock - this will keep your point of focus locked until lifted and then coupled with the burst means you should be able to get the animal in flight. Also think about your shutter speed to make your conditions e.g hand held or in a vehicle etc. So make sure your shutter speed is high enough to match this 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria Thank you for sharing 👍. I was in a hide this week and my parameters are very similar to yours. My question was more about the AF-C custom settings (you have a choice from 1 to 5 or 6 the custom one), which one do you recommend?
Brilliant X-T5 review. You are a great presenter and produce such wonderful unique photographs. 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for always being lovely ☺️
Another great video and the cameo of Eric stealing the show 😅 glad to hear your experiences with the X-T5 and highlighting how capable this camera is for the pricepoint. Love the forest imagary and all the sample photos you put in the video!!

Hehe thank you, and yes the bird definitely said Timmy! I'm glad you heard it! 🙃✌🏻
what lens did you use for this video? the 23 1.4? thanks for the beautiful video!
If you mean for the vlogging element then yes it was the 23mm f/1.4 LM WR but any specific other filming will have a label on it saying which lens 🙃
A very clear and succinct review. Thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it! 🙃🙃
were the video shots filmed on the xt-5?! crazy quality!
Yup, everything labelled with the X-T5 on it :) the vlogging parts were done on the XH2S 🙃🙃
Another fantastic review done
Thank you so much ☺️
❤😍
🙂✌🏻
As usual, lovely, lovely video! I just picked up the X-t5 to MAYBE replace my X-t30ii and accompany my Xh2s! So, yeah, will definitely stay tuned… and more Eric please 😊.

It is a great camera and I can see why you love it! Keep happy shooting!
This is my new dream camera justing ship to Fuji from Nikon I want the Xt5 & Xt30ii with a couple of prime lenses for travel.
Well I hope you enjoy your set up with whatever you choose 🙃
She's a babe ❤
She is a great camera ☺️✌🏻

Thank you ☺️ yes I know, i only remembered at the end but it’s pretty self explanatory 🙃 thank you and he is a beautiful pup 🐶
Try the cobalt sd cards from prograde for the fastest speeds, not the cheapest but very good
Thank you! I own the XH2S so it’s ok for me but this is be good info for folk looking at the XT5 with the intention of using high burst mode 🙃✌🏻
Thanks for this review! 😃👍

It was seeing your photos why I was so excited to use it! Fujifilm should make you an ambassador as your work is stunning! and it is a brilliant camera, I really enjoyed using it 🙃
Does the skin smoothing mode under the dynamic range work in video or just on stills?
That is a great question but unfortunately I have no idea as I didn’t use it. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it on the X-T5 manual online though :)
Excellent, very entertaining review and video as always! And I loved the bloopers! Curious if you're moving on from the X-T3 now that you've tried the X-T5 or is the X-T3 a good enough companion to your XH2s?

A quick question, is the X-T5 worth double the price of a mint used X-T3?

Yes, there is a Fujifilm official grip at around £150 and there are third party ones on Amazon.
I didnt think there was one, i’ve only seen grips for the older models. No doubt there will be third party ones though, it’s handy to have!
A very helpful video. Thank you dear lady. I’m thinking of getting one 🙏
Thank you and it is my pleasure! And I hope you enjoy 🙃
Nice review Victoria. I love my XT-4 and want to have a go at high speed photography so thanks for the advice. The XT -5 is on the wanted list now. Have a great week. 👍😎

For serious birding/wildlife, I suggest looking at something like an olympus OM1 or EM1x with Olympus telephoto lenses.
Picking a camera is always tricky! I have the XH2S (mainly for both filming and photography) and it has been fantastic with wildlife. I do have a comparison review coming out of the XH2s and the X-T5 which will talk more about practical use in the field. Fujifilm also allow you to rent their lenses and cameras for 48 hours for free (with a deposit) so maybe do that so you can get a feel if you like it or not? also if it is going to match the style of wildlife photography you are looking at i.e. faster paced or small/larger subjects. I hope that helps, best thing is to test the equipment then you will know yourself if it is sufficient enough 🙃
Beautiful and Wild
Thank you ☺️
Great review. One thing I'm curious about, is why you had the ISO high? It seems like it was to keep the shutter really high but I wasn't sure.
Thank you, for which pictures? The wildlife? Well that isn't a high ISO for a telephoto, it is quite normal. Also, I was doing everything hand held on a boat so needed a higher shutter speed - and the birds were in flight (if that's the shots you were on about). And the pictures came out clear and sharp, so all good 👍
Hello, you are amazing photographer, continue, I love your clips and off course you☺️ I’m sony photographer but I like your photos, love you from Milton Keynes ❤️
Awww thank youuuu! Hehe thank you for even watching this even though you shoot sony, I do appreciate it a lot ☺️✌🏻🌳
I enjoyed your review of the Fujii!!! You're funny and delightful to listen to!!! I love your dog! New subscriber! Sunny hot Florida USA👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Victoria. Thanks for the review and good vibe. I was honestly waiting for a more « in-depth » review and or comparison with the XT3 and XH2S as you use all these cameras and was disappointed until you finished the video mentioning this comparison was your next piece so you got me hooked there. Your honest review/comparison on these 3 models for wildlife is high on my list. Hope you will enjoy filming it. Cheers
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Well.. it is a review of the X-T5 sooo… 😅 As mentioned there will be a comparison review coming out but I won’t be doing a comparison with the X-T3, just the XH2s and XT5. Thanks ✌🏻
Thanks for the review! Been confused between this or Xh2s vs The song A7iv all 3 of which are equally priced here in Canada. Low light gives Sony an edge but this seems better on all other fronts. That is considering the sensor vs apsc..
Thank you! Buying a camera body is a nightmare, I find it too confusing! Personally for me I absolutely love my XH2s and it has worked fantastic in low light - especially when drawing images through onto lightroom and having a great image to edit. If you can I would see if you can rent the camera bodies ti test out. In the UK you can rent Fujifilm equipment for 48 hours for free (obviously have to leave a deposit) but see if there is the same in Canada and then it will give you a good chance to feel what suits you best 🙂
The X-T5 should have had the same EVF as the X-H2
I think they are different the XH2s is something around the 5.76 million dots with 0.8xmagnification and refreshes at 120fps, and the X-T5 has 3.69 million dots, 0.8x magnification and 100fps refresh rate. But to be honest, when I used both I thought they were both great :)
@@wildandfreevictoria I had the Sony A7RII with 3.7 mega dots, now I use Sony A7RIV and A7RIVA with 5.8 mega dots, I used the RIII and the RIV side by side, the RIV are much better for manual focusing for macro and Landscape fx (I guess you only use autofocus !?), now I wish for the 9.5 mega dot EVF !
@@cameraprepper7938 why would I only use AF? No, I use a mixture as I always shoot in manual with everything else so I also mix up my focus as well. So no I don’t just shoot in auto. That’s cool about the sony, I don’t shoot sony, i’m just giving you the info you asked for about the Fujifilm models.
@@wildandfreevictoria Nice you also shoot manual focus !
Yay, outtakes. I think that not allowing a battery grip is a weird decision by Fuji 😟
Hehe thank you! Yeah I think it is a bit odd as well, i’m sure there is some reason for it but yes, a bit odd! 🤓
Well done 👍 looking forward to the comparison in AF with the H2S 😊
Thank you! And I will get creating it ☺️
You’re over here doing gymnastics…. So talented
Hehe yeah I think I was a bat in a previous life 🦇 😄
Hi Victoria, do you have any recommendations regarding AF-C setup for fast moving subjects like the puffins ? Thank you
Hello, if I can remember well I used the AF-C and the tracking focus (in focus area) or the subject tracking (bird or mammal) along side the CH high burst mode - you can test these out by 15fps up is good. If you are doing a wildlife hide set up or in a situation where your subject is staying still but potentially going to fly away then also don’t forget you can use autofocus lock - this will keep your point of focus locked until lifted and then coupled with the burst means you should be able to get the animal in flight. Also think about your shutter speed to make your conditions e.g hand held or in a vehicle etc. So make sure your shutter speed is high enough to match this 🙂
@@wildandfreevictoria Thank you for sharing 👍. I was in a hide this week and my parameters are very similar to yours. My question was more about the AF-C custom settings (you have a choice from 1 to 5 or 6 the custom one), which one do you recommend?
too late . x-s20 now is good to go camera .
Well I hope you enjoy it 🙃✌🏻
