I can't wait to get the X-T5. It reminds me of the X-T2. IBIS is the only thing I wanted the most. I had the X-T4 but it was a bit too big and heavy... I didn't know that I prefer the flip up screen more than the flip out. Because shooting from the hip it's better to have the screen centered, where the lens is also pointed at, instead of looking at the left side of you.
The XT-5 is the first camera since my XT-2 that interests me.Thanks to Fujifilm for making what appears to be a photo-centric camera for those of us who don't have a need for much video work. Looking forward to seeing more content with this little camera.
why not xt3?
@@user-mp9uv1bj3k X-T3 > X-T2. It was a worthy upgrade. X-T5 while limited compared to the X-H2 should be a good upgrade over X-T3 with no downsides (like the X-T4 had).
Thank you for all of your content!! I’ve learned so much from all of your videos while starting out with a used xt20. Just received my Xt5 yesterday and am so excited to enter the next phase of my super amateur street photo journeys. Can’t wait for all of your amazing upcoming Xt5 related content 🙂
I like watching Omar's videos even if I'm not interested in a particular topic - they're always fun to watch!
When I started down the Fujifilm road I was coming from the Nikon universe and all my equipment had been purchased new. By the time I decided to switch to Fujifilm I went with used to see if it was for me. I have ended up with the X-T2, X-e2s, and an X100F - all purchased used. Also purchased a number of used lenses. Been very happy with all of it, and enjoy learning about new equipment, but unlikely to purchase. Thanks again Omar for your informative videos!!
I had a x100v all dressed up with the hood and all that. I really enjoyed that camera. It introduced me into the Fuji world. It also eventually had your channel pop up in my suggested videos to watch a few months ago. I over time decided the fixed focal length is fun but just not for me and my needs. I listed it and sold it within 45 minutes on a forum. Then went down to my local camera store and he just got a shipment of various xt5 combos so I picked up the silver xt5/16-80 kit. I really for some reason struggled with 16-80 or the 18-55 kit but ended up getting the 16-80 kit. I am heavily invested in the Nikon Z world and love it as well. My main kit is usually my z9. I was not that enthusiastic about the zfc as I was the DF when I got it back in the day. So, Fuji is kind of filling that gap. Thank you for the great videos, love the channel and the sense of humor you bring to your videos.
how funny, I'm sort of in an opposite situation. I have an X-T3 with a 16-55 and am considering switching to the next X100 they release (X100VI?), for its simplicity.
Hope you enjoy your xt5! Fuji cameras are a ton of fun to use
as an X-T2 user I clearly considering the X-T5 in a few years when price would have dropped.
Happy to see a reduction of the size compared to the X-T4 that I found to be too big for me (and I didn't like the flip ou screen)
Glad you posted this. I’ve been waiting for your hands on review.
Received my XT5 two days ago and I am so excited. So many features I’ve been waiting for. Really appreciating the smaller body once again, and looking forward to the IBIS and improved tracking.
Just ordered an X-T5. This is the camera I had been asking Fuji to make. I did not want to buy another camera so soon but I miss my X-T3 which I sold to get the X-S10 and missed the ergonomics of the 3. I can’t believe Fuji made this camera. I was so disappointed in the direction Fuji was going until now. Thanks Fuji.
I’m so happy with this XT5, I feel like I first time use an XT1! Thanks for your videos and hi from Switzerland
Mine is on the way! Stoked!! Gonna be pairing a x-t4 and x-t5 for photography from now on. Nice to have the same battery in both cameras.
Yes I will get one, everything ticks the box with this one. Can’t wait for your adventures with this camera.
Personally I’ll hold on to my Fujifilm X-T4. I like the flip out screen and optional battery grip. Some XH features in and XT body. Enjoy the XT5!
Just used the XT-5 for street photography using electronic shutter - necessary if you want to use the "preshot-ES" to catch precise moments of a running or walking subject. The rolling shutter made almost all of the shots unusable, even with a walking subject. I suppose that's a function of the high data burden of a 40MP sensor. Made me nostalgic for how great that function was on an old Lumix GX85 micro 4/3.
Gotten mine on day-1 release -17th Nov and just in love with this. The ergonomic and lightweight yet powerful make it so much more fun and joy to use it for travelling/daily outings.
Previously used xt-30 and keep mis-hit the Q button on the thumb rest.
Last week I grabbed a Black XE3 with 840 chicks for $500 in pristine condition, such a gorgeous little camera, I am in love with it. So compact and portable but it doesn’t feel too tiny in my hands, size is ideal for a PERFECT take it with you everywhere camera ❤
I think this XT5 is an amazing camera, but to be honest, I don’t think I want a 40PM APSC camera, but it is great that Fujifilm gives options to people.
I have been waiting. Upgrading soon from X-T2 to X-T5 for all that it has to offer, but mostly for battery life and IBIS. I love your videos.
Thank you. I love reviews from people that buy their cameras, as opposed to Fiji freebee loaners. The flippy screen was a deal breaker for me on the X-t4, i may possibly update to this one in the future. Right now I’m still loving my x-t3.
The plug you don't know is your cousins' from the other side of the pond! That's good old Blighty. I think the XT5 is for me. Collected it yesterday (18 Nov), and had a trial run today in the local deer park. Absolutely delighted with it. The reduction is size and weight on paper is not much but noticeable after my XT4 in the field. The return to the tilt screen is most welcome. And the accuracy and speed of the AF, as you say, is an improvement. As always, nice first impression.
Yes! I got mine delivered yesterday...so excited! Literally unboxing while watching this video and getting it all registered!
Hope you enjoy it!
I am glad Fuji made 2 differnt camera and focus on futures those cameras have and what target group are they for so Fuji made one for hybrid / video shooters X-H2 and one for photographery orientated X-T5 . This model is such a balanced camera. Love it. Thank you Fuji
Did you mean x-t4?
@Petr Gladkikh why should i. This video was about x-t5. My comment is about x-t5 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
hope to get my x-t5 on monday. for me is the nostalgic design paired with ibis in this size, the purchase argument. great to see more content omar. greetings marcus
Thanks Omar, for another great video! To me it's clear I don't need the X-T5. I don't video, won't need more features. I'm an amateur and think it's not (only) the material, but for what and how you're using it. With an X-T10, X-E2 an X-T3 and 6 lenses I'm capable of getting the images that satisfy me.
The best thing I truly like about this camera is the screen . I’m a photographer and have no interest in video and whilst I understand the draw to including it, I am also unimpressed by the megapixel count because I do not think we need that . If a high res option was included then that might have some value to a non pro user . Therefore , I can see a lot of reasons to stick with a XT 1 or 2 if a stills user . That said , I find a lot to love about this camera . As for the packaging , this is perhaps to reduce waste and landfill ; if that were true , what is it with all that plastic ha ha.
Lovely video Omar ! Thanks once again
I'm still loving my XT1 with battery grip, it's a nice little camera and I love the look of that Xtrans2 sensor. Also still loving my XH1 with grip, great ergos when you use it with the larger lenses like 16-55. But for me the Fuji to end all Fujis is the Xpro3, absolutely adore that guy, quite likely the best street photography camera ever made (second place goes to X100V).
The flip up screen is the best part.
Still waiting for the preordered X-T5. "Upgrading" from the X-T2.
I ordered it the moment it went live on B&H, Nov 2d. Hopefully it will arrive as indicated, early next week. Looking forward to seeing you put that auto focus to the test! 🙂
I ordered 1 from Adorama yesterday - Friday 18th and it's already been shipped.
getting it Monday.
Thanks for the sneak peak. Am waiting for mine. Apparently it landed it SA today. Can’t wait for my own unboxing experience soon!!
I’ve only ever had the x-t30, and I am still able to take great pictures with it. I’ve got a lot more to learn in terms of basic photography techniques before I would consider getting a new body. But if I were getting one and had the money, the x-t5 would be for me. Dials for exposure and focus mode, more hand grip depth but less size, flippy screen, and the latest in af, film sims, and battery performance. The added video capabilities and larger sensor would be icing on the cake given my needs. I find the x-t5 design encouraging and hope they continue with this vision for the x-t series so that when I am ready for a new body it will be all that the x-t5 is but more. (And in the meantime I’d love some af and menu kaizen for my x-t30!)
Arriving Monday, can’t wait to try it out. Upgrading from the XT-3.
Your past video comparing 26 mp to 40 mp resolution swayed it for me: X-T5 definitely NOT for me! Love the IBIS, extra battery capacity and the hand grip, but I'd prefer not to have to keep buying more storage and require additional RAM for post procesing, to cope wih the extra resolution for so little discernable difference. No one will ever notice! Being the laggard I am, I have decided the X-T3 is my next move up. Just wish outlets would stock it here in the UK. Great work Omar - keep the great content coming.
Thanks Omar for all of your content. I upgraded from the X-T3 to the X-T5. It arrived on Thursday. Shot some images around the neighborhood. I was excited to use the Nostalgic Negative film simulation. After shooting I uploaded them into Lightroom Classic v12.01 with Camera Raw v15. After import I clicked on the first photo in the Develop module. The profile said "Provia". Humm I thought a mistake was made during import. Pulled down the profile browser and well that's when I discovered that not only was Nostalgic Negative missing from Camera Matching profiles but so were Classic Negative, Eterna Bleach Bypass and Sepia. Went back to the Library module to check metadata and Yes the X-T5 along with its serial number and the XF 33mm f/1.4 lens were cited in the Library. Couldn't believe it. So I plugged in my X-T5 to the computer and started up X Raw Studio. Yep X Raw had photo listed with Nostalgic Negative plus when I checked all the sims were listed as well in the app. Next just to be sure I went to Capture One 23 and added the shots I took to it and yes those came in on the Auto setting as Nostalgic Negative. I'm not sure If I am the only one who has discovered this error on LRC. I haven't seen any google results for missing camera profiles in LRC. I just wanted to know if you have discovered the same error in LRC? How soon will it be before Adobe fixes that?
Ditto below..... thanks for all of your content. It's fun, humorous and at the same time, instructional. Looking forward to your future XT-5 videos. It won't be on my list for a while, but maybe once its been around I will be able to afford a used one. Still love my XT-3 and still learning! I'll be retiring from teaching in June so my time will be more free to practice. I'm thinking of taking a part time job with one of the Lehigh Valley photography businesses that does student portraits. I'm thinking that will help me learn more about lighting and be around photographers I can learn from first hand. Again, thanks for all of your content, have a great weekend!
I got an x-h2 to get the 40 meg sensor, but i'm only planning to keep it until the x-pro4 comes out. I prefer the "rangefinder" style bodies, but I can survive with a PASM dial for a while. Having the x-h2 is like carrying around a rock: indestructible, heavy. It's very very solid.
I love your presentation and the way you do unboxing.
Hey Omar. Love your work. I think you wanted to say “UK and Australian” but you did give me a good laugh 😂
Okay Omar, since now you have the Fuji XT5 would you mind testing some of the popular zooms from Fujifilm such as 10-24mm, 18-55mm, 18-135mm, and 55-200mm I own these lenses and would like to know how the camera performs with these. If you have the lenses of course. Thank you.
I will get mine this coming Monday. Can't wait. My X-T3 will have a companion X-5 .
I think the X-T5 may be my first Fujifilm camera. I come from a Nikon background and still want the Z-6 II or Z-7II but I have been watching your channel for a couple of months and your enthusiam is infectious. I'm looking forward to more X-T5 videos from you.
Don’t do it. You will be frustrated. The Nikon Full frame cameras are a league ahead compared to the Fujis. (I had both systems)
@@miljo2146 I agree. After three weeks with the XT-4 I went back to full frame and Nikon (Z6II). Lost a little $ in the process but oh well. Costly experiment i suppose.
@@t.armstrong3119 the only category where fuji with the new X-H2s might be a good choice is extreme wildlife. The Z9 is quite a bit more expensive in that regard. Otherwise Nikon has the better price to performance ratio.
@@miljo2146 I am not selling my Nikons. So far, I still prefer the Nikon DSLR images to the Fuji ones but I'm still learning and some are pleasing. I plan on getting a Nikon Z serries camera and am hoping for an update of the Z 6II or to see what the Z 8 looks like.
The Z9 is also too big for what I want. One reason I got the Fuji X-T5 is its size and to play with more megapixels. I think it will be my travel picture if I can put the time in to get the photos I want.
Funny coincidence that the pop-up ad prior to your video was for the XT-6…Cadillac 😂
I love how I always get Cadillac XT6 ads with these fuji videos =)
I just got my XT5, and so far I like it a lot. It feels much smaller than the XT4, even though it's really just a few millimeters different; It must have to do with subtile changes in the shape.
Have to say that I'm a little pissed off that several manufacturers, including Fuji, have stopped including chargers with their cameras. Seems to me like a stealthy way to increase to price of the camera by $50 to &70. No charger means that if the battery goes flat the camera is out of service while it charges.
Its the same with phones these days, guess it’s legislation…how many chargers can you have. Bought the fuji which can take two batteries, really a good one. Let one batterycharge in the car using a batterypack when out shooting GFX on Iceland.
Smallrig and others do a twin battery and charger kit for £35-40.
@@steverobinson1068 as long as its fuji batteries I would go for it…seen to many swollen batteries from other brands.
@@fjzingo they don’t have the Fujifilm branding, but that’s why I chose SmallRig over other brands.
I agree. I actually bought the charger before the camera. When I got the charger the instructions said to use the cord and brick from the camera. I was WTH? I just used my macbook brick and cord to charge the battery. Now only if I had the camera.
Cool! Exciting to follow your journy with xt5, I have an xt2 myself and want to maybe upgrad, the xt5 seems like a perfect camera so far. Good luck!
I just received mine about a week ago. So pretty. Just switched from Panasonic and I think it was a wise choice. This camera is amazing. Looking forward to using it to the max. I love your channel and your demeanor. Thanks. Do you teach? You should.
The XT-5 is for us, not for you. You know who you are.
Lol
Thank you for this very relevant video! I'm into reviewing older Fuji cameras but I'll certainly get to the wonderful X-T5 as well. At the moment I'm happy with my X-T30 as my main camera and several older X-series Fuji cameras. Kind regards, your videos are great!
We pre-ordered the X-T5 which we received on release day, having used (and still are using) X-T3s it was an immediate wow in terms of focus speed and quality. We will still be using both XT-5 and XT-3 for a lot of the work we do in studio with the camera tethered, I don't need 2 card slots, WR, or a lot of the other features so an X-T50 would be a great 2nd body to work with the X-T5 but as far as i know, the X-Txx series does not support tethered shooting which would mean it is unusable for our instant print events (camera - wifi to computer - straight to 8"x6" printer all without cables)
The X-T5 is a massive upgrade for our photographer that shoots birds and wildlife first day he was raving about how good the tracking was, and how much more cropping he can do from the 40MP files.
For our studio portraits where the frame is filled and normally only printed up to 18" x 12" the 26MP files are more than enough, however shooting video without a gimble and the extra weight is appealing but not £1700 appealing right now to buy another X-T5 when we are happy with the 4K from the T3s
If I could afford it I would certainly buy it.
My X-T2 will have to suffice for a while longer.
eo eoeo yeah Omar + fuji + amazing review!!!
Love watching your vids Omar....no matter what your content is!!! I got my X-T5 at 2.30pm on the 17th so was pleasantly surprised by that living as I do in Portugal....I thought we may be at the back of the queue!!! Very photocentric which I love coming from the XT3 so all the goodies like IBIS, 40mp 3 way flip screen etc along with the improvement in auto focus and tracking which the new generation prcosessor gives us - bought it with the new 30mm 2.8 Macro too so off out to test - can't do RAW yet until the editing software catches up but nice to shoot jpg for a while for a change!!
I love your videos, IMO you're among the best on YT. And, I'd like to gently point out there are a significant number of photographers who do not do video on their cameras. Ever. Strictly photography only. For us, shooting video is what iPhones are for. It'd be nice to have a little more stills photography centric material in reviews and camera grading. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words!
I got mine the day they were released - Nov. 17! Lucky me… I had been looking for an X-T3 with no luck for quite a while and then the X-T5 came along with the features I was looking for, particularly the screen (I wasn’t enamoured with the X-T4). So I’ve been busy setting it up and trying out the different features and simulations (I’m coming from an X-Pro 2). Like Omar I like the Nostalgic Neg. And I can’t wait to spend a full day outside trying my best to get good images (it rains a lot in Vancouver!).
*swooon* Dreamy! ...nice camera as well.
Omar, can you create a video like what you did with the XT20, how you setup the XT5, please? I know there are million of creators who already did that, but I learned so much with the XT20 with your setup.
mine has arrived. yet to open it. upgrading form an xt30. very excited.
I still have the XT 2. All I want from a new body compared with the XT 2 is IBIS. I bought an Olympus OMD EM1 II last year and the IBIS is really useful for me
Hi Omar, I got one! I love your videos, I always watch them with pleasure, I would like one on the various settings of the new af😊
I sold mine for a Ricoh GR III. Small, light, great image quality and the perfect focat length for landscape
I would love to have that camera. One of the few APSC cameras I actually want
You got the Gerold Undone purple in the background. He would be proud.
I appreciate you asking xt-40/xt-50. This is the camera I am waiting for :)
I wonder what’s Omar’s ideal apsc camera specs. Would be a fun episode! Like we can do a mock up for something realistic / unrealistic
I really enjoyed your methodical unboxing of the new XT5. I often watch a “ Pal” of yours unbox camera equipment & literally throws the contents & packing all over the room (except for the camera of course) Very unprofessional in my professional opinion as an amateur. Always enjoy your videos ,Omar.Looking forward to the next ones.
Looks like they are already on backorder. Wanted one for a mid-December trip, but my XT3 is just fine. Thanks, O
I'm regressing. I actually just ordered a "mint" X-T1 on eBay. I love the X-Trans II Velvia colors that much. (We need an X80!)
Yes!! I got my new X-T5 last Thursday, on the veyr first day that they got shipped.
I was still shooting with the X-T2, and it was time to upgrade.
So far so good. I like what I see. Just the IBIS system seems very noisy, which I didn't expect.
Picking mine up on Monday!
XT-5 looks very promising I feel they finally made it right and there is a chance for x-e5 with the focus on photography, i.e. ibis, wheels and buttons, focus mode toggle and tilt-screen.
Yes! Picked mine up yesterday. The hardest decision was the color. I have a silver X-T3 and a black X-T2. Ultimately went silver. Only shot a little with it so far, but I noticed two things right off the bat. First is that the AF on the new 33mm lens is basically instant. The second is that the IBIS is so good for lower shutter speeds to keep the ISO down. I was taking 1/60 shots of my kids watching TV last night in dim conditions and the photos were crisp and had less noise (even at 1250 ISO). I like the beefier grip as I’ve gotten accustomed to using the X-T3 with its grip all the time. I’ll probably buy the overpriced little metal hand grip just to fill it out a bit more, and I got a second battery to have on hand. Super excited to use this at family gatherings over the holidays. I felt like the 4 was very much not for me and this one feels like it was worth the wait.
It is a shame that Fuji does not offer a battery grip for the X-T5, as all prior X-T cameras had this option. I have no interest in the X-H2 or X-H2S. Longer lenses do not balance well on an even smaller camera body, particularly when shooting in a portrait orientation.
From the title itself, xt5 or any fujifilm x series that i dream of is really not for me, never have been owned a great reliable camera like fuji, Congrats omar! Im really happy watching since day 1
funny a ad for the XT5 the Cadillac SUV comes up for a fujifilm XT5 video 😂😂
Just got my X-T5. Luv it. Quite an upgrade from my X-T20.
AAArrrggghhh !!! Can't wait to get an X-T5 !!! ANd watch your next videos around (or shot with) the X-T5...
Valid points, I will keep and shoot with my xpro3 and xt4 for another 10 years as I think 26MP bsi is sweet spot for me, 40mp is overkill!
Great video 👌 I’ve sold my Nikon z6 and z7ii cameras and bought the xh2s and xh2 for shooting weddings and events and find that apsc has caught up with full frame and you don’t need to buy expensive full frame lenses and cameras to be a professional photographer!!
Looking forward to your review
Ah so glad they brought back the flip screen! But also mad cause now I want to get a new camera 😂 First time I feel like upgrading since my XT2
I find it funny how some people say that they’re disappointed with the video features of the X-T5. However when the X-T3 came out it was hailed as a great hybrid camera, it’s interesting to see how things have progressed, in any case, I think either camera packs a lot into such a small form factor. I have a X-T3 and I’m not a videographer, more of an old school stills guy, which is why I love Fuji for their retro look and feel. I’ve had a play with the X-T5 and I’m sorely tempted, largely by the IBIS and improved AF, but right now dats a lot of dosh to lay down for a nice to have feature.
I’m gonna wait until Fuji run one of their cash back offers, or maybe picked a used or refurbished one once it’s been out a while,
Incidentally Omar, that funny looking three pin plug, is the much vaunted UK mains plug adapter, envied the World over 😉
I'm still hanging to the X-T20, I still think it's an amazing camera that fits inside my pocket. However, there's a lot to love about the X-T5, including the film simulations. I thought I'd have an impulse buy with the X-H2, but this body just made that impulse buy redundant. This is going to be my upcoming upgrade for sure!
I'm on the fence with my xt20, think the XT5 might sway me finally
A few moth ago I bought a xt3 and I’m totally satisfied with it!
Yep today plus 2 extra batteries and the dual charger. A bit anxious about using with my favorite landscape lens 10-24 due it is not on the preferred list for 40mp. Will be testing it extensively in coming days. Plus hopefully Kirk and/or RRS will have the L bracket soon.
Can't wait to see your review after a month or so shooting with it!! And see a beautiful slideshow of pics you will have taken with it (not autofocus tests)
I start saving 💶 💶 💶 now already 😅😁
I'm glad you made the observation about whether or not images were out of focus or if the image quality was just muddy. I noticed the same thing in the photos you were showing and didn't want to be the jerk to bring it up. I've really been thinking about the XT-5 but have been wondering if the jump to 40 MP has hurt the image quality more than it's helped, especially where higher ISOs are concerned.
Apple brick hack. Love it, been using that for since I got my x-t2.
Looking more at x-t4 as more affordable option of "all in one" camera)
When I saw that this camera didn't have a working battery grip, my excitement over it rapidly turned to disappointment. The camera is all I could possible want-with the exception of the battery grip. And I have the option of upgrading to the X-H2S. On the other hand, I may simply have to choose Fuji's medium format because to the exorbitant price of the X-H2S camera.
Summarize Due to the fact that GFX lenses are also incredibly costly, I have no idea what to do and am absolutely lost. LOL
It dies not mean one won't be developed down the line. However the battery lasts forever compared to the povket full of batteries for the XT3
@@CiaranWhelan Thank you for the helpful tip.
The strap. Right. I got one of those with some prior Fuji camera. Maybe as far back as my X-H1. I hated this strap, but it was, “sticky,” and distributed the gross weight of the H1. I put it on my X-T4 and realized it was great as an over the shoulder instead of around the neck strap.
🎉The rubbery surface keeps it on your shoulder unless you’re wearing a silk shirt, so don’t do that. I also realized that carrying my camera over my shoulder instead of around my neck was a far more practical way to carry it. The problem in the past was the camera would slip off my shoulder. Not so with this strap. I went from hating to now loving it. And my neck is much happier.
My XT5 came this morning but the unboxing was kind of letdown. The battery had no charge so I had to wait a couple of hours before doing anything with it. But now looking forward to seeing what I can get from this update to my XT3.
An XT5 could be on the horizon for me. Still using my XT20 so I've waited a while to step up. Hopefully more content from you about the 5 like I used to watch about the 20.
This is the T for me, finally. I chose the X-H1 over the X-T3 in late 2019 because I wanted IBIS and I got a good deal on it with the battery grip etc. Haven't really been happy with it, though. Got an X100V two years ago but, as much as I love to have the camera around me and in my hands, it's just not right and I dearly miss IBIS. So I'm now going to sell both my X-H1 and the X100V which would allow me to purchase an X-T5. This thing's got it all. Amazing on the inside and a classic look on the outside. Can't wait!
Bahahaha "I laugh at people". 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!
Unfortunately a miss for this time round with no grip option, I like the ability of choice especially with longer lenses or extended portrait orientation shooting, but each to their own.
Got it - right off the bat the new, slightly shifted position of the front function button lets me turn it on - my finger kept hitting it on the X-t3. Also like they moved the top function button. Will actually try it out today.
I am waiting "patiently" for my X-T5 to arrive. Pretty excited they have basically taken the guts of X-H2 and put it in an X-T3 body (mostly...). I really loved my X-T3 and was always a bit sad that it never got the full firmware upgrade to get the same film simulations, white balance menu, and a few other things the X-T4 had when they both had same processor and sensor. I am sure fuji had their reasons, I just hope it wasn't only to differentiate for sales reasons....maybe there is some subtle technical reason. Anyhoo.... yeah, can't wait for my box to have a second body, making the X-T5 my main and have X-T3 for a backup and to also introduce my daughters into the photography hobby. :D
No! Tell us what to do Omar! This is why we’re here! 😂
Hope they release a XT-50 soon to upgrade from my XT-30 😢😢
Thanks Omar! I recently got the X-T3 paired with my X-T20. It's more than enough for my photo and video needs, so far. I do think I will get a X-T4 next year, and maybe the X-T5 in 2025 (or the X-T40, if Fuji blesses us with that at some point)
I definitely want one,. The bigger battery is a must have for me.
