I just bought mine a few days ago and I love it, I haven’t used full function and I’m not a vlogger , thanks for the review! Best Mother’s Day gift for myself ever
Why only 15fps in 4k Fuji? Whyog why? Would be a great VLOG camera with 24 or 30p with that mic jack! Any chance you could bump that to 30fps in a firmware update in the future?
Would you know why is it when I am taking a video, it's kind of blurry or it autofocuses? Can you please help on the correct settings? Thanks in advance!
I have 2 questions: 1) with this camera can I use the lens I use with my xt20? 2) the quality of the photo is superior to the quality I can get from the 1'' sensor cameras (e.g. Sony RX100 m3)? Is there a REAL difference? Tnx.
Hi Daniele. Yes, you can use this, or any FUJIFILM X-Mount lens on your X-T20. You will notice a difference in the bokeh between an APS-C sensor (in the X-A5) and a 1" sensor. There also tends to be better performance in low light. However, there is much online debate on whether or not there is a "REAL difference", and we're not prepared to wade into those discussions.
Hi. is the build quality of the bottom part better than the X-A3? X-A3 had issues of cracking due to tripod mounting. Hope this issue was addressed in the X-A5. thanks
I would love to see these new features come to my xt-2 and x-t20... it's one of the reasons people love fujifilm... x-a5 one of the best entry level cameras hands down!!!!!!
Hey could you please suggest me which series from Fujifim I should buy ? I am just beginner..... and I want to use it for traveling.... is Xa5 suitable? Thanks for your suggestion!
Is that the electronic level indicator i'm seeing at 2:28 and 5:54? So they finally equipped the xa series with this feature? Very important for landscape shots. Pls confirm this thanks!
Yes! There is the option to turn on the electronic level on the X-A5. Go to Settings > Screen Set-up > Disp. Custom Setting. From there choose Electronic Level to toggle it on and off. Really useful for landscapes in keeping the horizon level!
Hi sir, i got a problem with my xa5 mic. I tried recording with but the video sound doesnt come. Even i transferred the video in the phone no sound come.
Sorry to hear of your issue. It's difficult to diagnose your issue using UA-cam comments. Please contact the customer support group of the Fujifilm office in your country, as they are better suited to assist you. In Canada, call: 1.800.461.0416. In the USA, call: 1.800.800.3854.

Thanks for confirming the clean HDMI out.. I'll probably get this to use instead of the X-T2 for my video recording on the channel.. and to start vlogging.
The screen does not fold 180° only up. Thank you for the feedback! It did not bother me too much. Fuji Guy Jerry only used it for quick reference for focus and exposure.
Either are great choices. They both have Auto-SR+ allowing the camera to make all of the decisions about exposure. The X-T20 does have the EVF, which makes it easier to see in very bright situations.
The ability to change the shutter speed will depend on which mode you have the command dial in. If you have it on SR+ or "P", or "A" you will not be able to adjust, as the camera assigns the shutter speed automatically. If you want to adjust the shutter speed, and have the camera automatically determine the aperture (lens opening), turn the command dial to "S". You then use the rear command dial to adjust the shutter. You should see the speed change on the LCD screen. (If you see the aperture value on the screen turn to orange, that's a warning that your shutter speed has exceeded the speed for a properly exposed image, based on the other camera settings.) If you want to manually adjust both the shutter speed and aperture, turn the command dial to "M". You then adjust the shutter speed using the top command dial. If you have the kit lens you adjust the aperture using the read command dial. GW.
Hi Gerrick, Here is the full breakdown for video recording. This is also available on our website High Speed movie is in 720p. 4K 3840 x 2160 15P, Continuous recording : up to approx. 5 min. Full HD 1920 x 1080 59.94p / 50p / 24p / 23.98p, Continuous recording : up to approx. 14 min. HD 1280 x 720 59.94p / 50p / 24p / 23.98p, Continuous recording : up to approx. 27 min. High Speed Movie 1280x720 1.6x / 2x / 3.3x / 4x
I own an X-E1 for 3 years now and I was waiting and waiting Fuji to bring out a camera like this, with all the latest features but compact and lightweight. I wanted a camera with 4k video this size and price. This could be the perfect one for me. Sadly, the lack of 4k 30p video along with the lack of an all-black version is a no buy for me. Another missed opportunity, I am disappointed.
Thanks for your advise but I don't want to replace my X-E1, I want to replace my SONY HX20V, which I carry all day with me, for photos AND video. X-E3 hmm.. if screen tilted. I don't care for evf, to gain in size. As I said above "this could be perfect for me" but it is not. Maybe it is time to think to switch to SONY if the new A5200 will have all that I ask for.
Stefanos Tsakiris Ah talking video is out of my zone buddy. Don't use it. Sure there is plenty of great cameras out there. Normally people talk about Sony and Panasonic 😉😉
Perhaps you don't care about video but I am sure that you can understand what a frustration would be for me, to support two different camera systems. Different lenses, chargers,batteries etc. But IF Fuji..... That's why I said "a missed opportunity".
There are a number of different comparison websites that allow you to do side-by-side comparisons. One thing that can't be quantified by specifications is the enjoyment of using the camera to take photos, and the resulting image quality right out of camera (without the need to do any post processing in your computer).
Fuji Guy Jerry is using the Fujifilm ST-1 Mic on top of the X-A5. The camera man also had Fuji Guy Jerry with LAV microphone as well. Not sure of the brand.
Fuji Guys Channel thanks! That's a shame.. The lack of viewfinder is understandable, but the lack of shortcuts is something Fuji could very easily solve. I for one would love a higher-class Bayer camera :)
Why does the FUJI GUYS review say it's the SAME processor as the X-A3, but the Fuji press release says it's all new and improved? (1.5 faster focus, better texture and skin details, etc)....who is accurate here?
Thank you for the feedback, FUJIFILM is always looking to improve the WiFi features. There are other WiFi apps on the market that customers can purchase if they like that are not made by FUJIFILM. The FUJIFILM camera remote is free and fully featured. If you have a specific thought or idea please do share!
The Fujifilm app might be free, but it kinda sucks. It is by no means full featured. I have found in the past year that: 1. It seems at times the app cannot access some of the folders on the card 2. There seems to be a limit to how many selections you can make when transfering images, before the app crashes 3. The app is not a remote release in the practical sense of the word, for example bulb mode 4. Limited camera controls via the app 5. Image does not become fullscreen when you rotate the phone 6. The app will simply close without any indication why when you have only raw images on the card (took me ages to figure that out) 7. The app puts the camera in sleep mode after you close it which is kinda annoying 8. The app updates the images at a staggeringly low rate Some of the things I remember off hand. The app has been stuck in this iteration for more than a year now. Please share the other apps that work with Fujifilm cameras, I'd be happy to buy something that is better featured. Sadly for everything the Fujifilm app could be, I use it only for transferring images to my phone since the camera control is just way to annoying. I'd rather use a physical remote release, and if I can find an app that works faster for image transfers I'd rather use that as well. The Fujifilm app could be waaaaaay better. It is a bit of a let down when you offer an app that seems to be half baked.
I'm happy to. Been trying to have someone at Fujifilm notice for the past year but to no avail. Whilst you're available, maybe ask if the T mode can be increased from the 1min limit on the X-T10? T-mode could be a internal B-mode for when you don't want to use an external release....which I do still use. But it would be nice if T-mode wasn't stuck in 1min max. I realise the X-T10 is abandoned and old now, also probably not as many sold as the X100* but it's still out here creating amazing images. Best wishes
Thank you Fanjan, not sure that will happen with X-T10 honestly. We will note it for future cameras. Cheers! and don't worry, we are always listening....:)
Fuji Guys Channel thanks for the reply. I think thats such a missed chance for the best 4K vlogging camera, was ready to pull the trigger on the purchase
Kinda like damned if you do damned if you don't. Don't ad 4K and its a miss, alternatively....Seems every manufacturer from camera's to motorcycles all have this one design feature which everyone scratches their heads about. My old BMW motorcycle comes to mind with a similar, "what where you thinking?" regarding the indicators.
Thanks for asking. The larger APS-C sized sensor will allow for less noise in lower light situations and maintain a higher shutter speed to freeze moving objects.
Guys you need to work on getting the phase detection to work with all the other fuji lenses! Accuracy and speed is just rubbish with anything but the kit lens. Please make it happen, my marriage depends on it! 😆
Fuji Guys Channel sure, I’ve experienced it with the 35mm 1.4, 16mm 1.4, and the 18-55mm. You can also check out Bullcity Pictures ‘ video on the xa5 to see what typically what happens when the camera just completely misses focus
I just bought mine a few days ago and I love it, I haven’t used full function and I’m not a vlogger , thanks for the review! Best Mother’s Day gift for myself ever
Glad it was helpful!
Will Fuji cameras ever have smooth exposure transition in video ? It's obviously needed @4:00
Why only 15fps in 4k Fuji? Whyog why? Would be a great VLOG camera with 24 or 30p with that mic jack! Any chance you could bump that to 30fps in a firmware update in the future?
Would you know why is it when I am taking a video, it's kind of blurry or it autofocuses? Can you please help on the correct settings? Thanks in advance!

@@fujiguys do u mean the bokey in x a5 will be better?
Deym! fuji releasing camera models as fast as smartphones ...😂
Hi. is the build quality of the bottom part better than the X-A3? X-A3 had issues of cracking due to tripod mounting. Hope this issue was addressed in the X-A5. thanks
I would love to see these new features come to my xt-2 and x-t20... it's one of the reasons people love fujifilm... x-a5 one of the best entry level cameras hands down!!!!!!
X-E3 too!!! Features like time lapse video, focus stacking ...
Hey could you please suggest me which series from Fujifim I should buy ? I am just beginner..... and I want to use it for traveling.... is Xa5 suitable? Thanks for your suggestion!
Is that the electronic level indicator i'm seeing at 2:28 and 5:54? So they finally equipped the xa series with this feature? Very important for landscape shots. Pls confirm this thanks!

Is there anyway to mount a viewfinder on there?
There are no viewfinder options for the X-A5 available from FUJIFILM.
Is this camera support HSS?
I think this camera will be great for vlogging for sure because now theres a socket for mic ✔😍

Who is the better camera for the fotografh moon very focus and very good

I like the jacket!! Can I get that anywhere?? It doesn't have to have the Fujiguys logo :)
And Germany?
Does it have full manual control while shooting video?
Thanks for confirming the clean HDMI out.. I'll probably get this to use instead of the X-T2 for my video recording on the channel.. and to start vlogging.
Should I get this or an a6000 for portraits and landscapes?
Elvis Joseph A6000
Does this Camera Supports Bluetooth Remote Shutter?
Unfortunately the X-A5 does not support the Bluetooth remote shutter.
Does the screen also fold down 180°? As useful as it is, it's still a bit stupid if the microphone blocks it all the time.
The screen does not fold 180° only up. Thank you for the feedback! It did not bother me too much. Fuji Guy Jerry only used it for quick reference for focus and exposure.
I need your help! Which one better the fuji xa5 or xt20? I’m a beginner
Either are great choices. They both have Auto-SR+ allowing the camera to make all of the decisions about exposure. The X-T20 does have the EVF, which makes it easier to see in very bright situations.
thank you! :D
How to change shutter speed in XA5? New user here and still tweaking my camera settings.
The ability to change the shutter speed will depend on which mode you have the command dial in. If you have it on SR+ or "P", or "A" you will not be able to adjust, as the camera assigns the shutter speed automatically.
If you want to adjust the shutter speed, and have the camera automatically determine the aperture (lens opening), turn the command dial to "S".

(If you see the aperture value on the screen turn to orange, that's a warning that your shutter speed has exceeded the speed for a properly exposed image, based on the other camera settings.)
If you want to manually adjust both the shutter speed and aperture, turn the command dial to "M". You then adjust the shutter speed using the top command dial. If you have the kit lens you adjust the aperture using the read command dial. GW.
Is that cheaply painted plastic body or does it have a weather sealed alloy?
The X-A5 is not weather sealed.
Is it the sensor on XT2?
The X-A5's sensor is a Bayer pattern sensor, which differs from the X-T2.
Is that the same sensor as in xt-2?
The X-A5 features a Bayer pattern sensor, which is different than the X-T2.
How much in the UK?
Approximately 530 Euros. Check with your local camera store for more information.
Is that a standard 3.5 mm mic jack?
at 0:23, it appear to not have the attachment meaning it's directly connecting the mic to the camera therefore i think it's 2.5mm
2.5mm, that fuji mic uses 2.5mm. probably the reason why they keep putting 2.5mm jacks (to sell their microphone)
Good to hear the focus is improved, XA3 was a bit silly in that. I wished the buttons were like XE3 though.
Deos it really shoot 120fps in 1080? It's only listed 60fps in the product page.
Hi Gerrick,
Here is the full breakdown for video recording. This is also available on our website
High Speed movie is in 720p.
4K 3840 x 2160 15P, Continuous recording : up to approx. 5 min.
Full HD 1920 x 1080 59.94p / 50p / 24p / 23.98p, Continuous recording : up to approx. 14 min.
HD 1280 x 720 59.94p / 50p / 24p / 23.98p, Continuous recording : up to approx. 27 min.
High Speed Movie 1280x720 1.6x / 2x / 3.3x / 4x
Thanks! Is 4X High Speed mode a 100fps or 120fps 720p then?
4x is 120fps at 720p.
Cheers!
Why isn't it available in BLACK ?!
How is the AF speed compare to X-E2?
We have not compared the speed of the X-E2(s) but would say that in continuous shooting they would be comparable in performance.
I own an X-E1 for 3 years now and I was waiting and waiting Fuji to bring out a camera like this, with all the latest features but compact and lightweight. I wanted a camera with 4k video this size and price. This could be the perfect one for me. Sadly, the lack of 4k 30p video along with the lack of an all-black version is a no buy for me. Another missed opportunity, I am disappointed.
Then buy the x-e3 my dude. It's actually smaller than the x-e1 and x-e2
Plus this one do doesn't have a viewfinder. If you're used to an xe1 go for the xe3 😉
Thanks for your advise but I don't want to replace my X-E1, I want to replace my SONY HX20V, which I carry all day with me, for photos AND video.
X-E3 hmm.. if screen tilted. I don't care for evf, to gain in size. As I said above "this could be perfect for me" but it is not. Maybe it is time to think to switch to SONY if the new A5200 will have all that I ask for.

Perhaps you don't care about video but I am sure that you can understand what a frustration would be for me, to support two different camera systems. Different lenses, chargers,batteries etc. But IF Fuji..... That's why I said "a missed opportunity".
Are you use luts/colour grading/ filter? Or just original from camera?
The footage from the X-A5 may have had slight exposure corrections in post otherwise no real colour corrections.
"All the film simulations you would expect" -- what about Acros? It's not listed in the Fujifilm product page...
The Acros film simulation is not available with APS-C Bayer sensor.
I am not sure about buying this one, or the Sony Alpha 6000🤔
There are a number of different comparison websites that allow you to do side-by-side comparisons. One thing that can't be quantified by specifications is the enjoyment of using the camera to take photos, and the resulting image quality right out of camera (without the need to do any post processing in your computer).
What Mic are you using?
Fuji Guy Jerry is using the Fujifilm ST-1 Mic on top of the X-A5. The camera man also had Fuji Guy Jerry with LAV microphone as well. Not sure of the brand.
I really really wanted to have a fujifilm cam especially this new release. 😞😞😞😞
Thanks for the review!
Phase detection AF is game changer!!
How many Fn buttons does this baby have?
The X-A5 has one customizable Fn button (on the top plate, but the main shutter release button).
Fuji Guys Channel thanks! That's a shame.. The lack of viewfinder is understandable, but the lack of shortcuts is something Fuji could very easily solve. I for one would love a higher-class Bayer camera :)
Why does the FUJI GUYS review say it's the SAME processor as the X-A3, but the Fuji press release says it's all new and improved? (1.5 faster focus, better texture and skin details, etc)....who is accurate here?
Both. The sensor is most probably the same, with only some hardware improvements
The processor on the X-A5 is an improved processor over the X-A3.
Actually, the sensor is improved, as it features Phase Detection AF photosites.
Please, either update the app or supply the API's for third parties to create an app.

phase detect got me hype for this
Why does it not have image stabilization? That should be standard for any new cameras.
The camera does not have in body image stabilization. The lens does have OIS.
The mic right in front of the screen was not a good idea... not a positive selling point to show
thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching!
4K 15fps😳 seriously? Or did I hear wrong?
The maximum frame rate in 4K standard movies is 15p.
Fuji Guys Channel thanks for the reply. I think thats such a missed chance for the best 4K vlogging camera, was ready to pull the trigger on the purchase
This is insanity. I don't understand 4k at 15fps. so so so stupid.
Kinotika they seriously almost hit a home run with this being the best 4K vlogging camera. 15fps like why lol
Kinda like damned if you do damned if you don't. Don't ad 4K and its a miss, alternatively....Seems every manufacturer from camera's to motorcycles all have this one design feature which everyone scratches their heads about. My old BMW motorcycle comes to mind with a similar, "what where you thinking?" regarding the indicators.
I still use X-A1 and happy about it 😂
2:13 Are you from this world??? Casual shapeshifting magic....
Uhh the mic is covering the screen...
There's a purple hue on every shot.. Wtf.
Kinda stupid with the mic blocking the screen
Is that enough for a campus journalist?
The X-A5 is a great solution for a lightweight, easy-to-carry anywhere camera.
Fuji Guys Channel How about for capturing low light photos?
and also fast moving objects
Thanks for asking. The larger APS-C sized sensor will allow for less noise in lower light situations and maintain a higher shutter speed to freeze moving objects.
One last question (sorry if i am very annoying), can people use longer lenses with the X-A5?
iz dat a PHUJI? :)
Guys you need to work on getting the phase detection to work with all the other fuji lenses! Accuracy and speed is just rubbish with anything but the kit lens. Please make it happen, my marriage depends on it! 😆
Thank-you for the feedback. Please let us know, specifically, which lens(es) you are experiencing issues with and we can investigate.
Fuji Guys Channel sure, I’ve experienced it with the 35mm 1.4, 16mm 1.4, and the 18-55mm. You can also check out Bullcity Pictures ‘ video on the xa5 to see what typically what happens when the camera just completely misses focus
I need to know piece nowwwwwwwwwwww
That would depend on your market. In Canada it will retail for approximately $749.99 in Canadian dollars.
Metal or Plastic?
The majority of materials in the X-A5 are plastic.
It has wifi !
Invest in a gimbal
Jui
