The Truth About The Fujifilm XT5 - After 4 Months Of Use (Long Term Update)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- The Fujifilm XT5 has been my trusted daily companion for the past five months, accompanying me through a wide array of shooting scenarios. From capturing the enchanting beauty of the night to serving as my loyal travel and landscape companion, and even thriving in the controlled environment of the studio, this camera has seen it all.
But now, as the honeymoon phase gradually wanes, it's time to delve deep into an honest reflection. Have my feelings towards this camera evolved? Do I harbor any regrets about parting with my XH2 to embrace the XT5?
Join me on this introspective journey as we navigate the nuances of my relationship with the Fujifilm XT5. Together, we'll uncover the answers in this video

I should note, I use V90 cards and I use AF-C tracking.....if you use AF-S the buffer lasts a bit longer... But with AF-C tracking with a XF lens with linear motors, it craps out right around 5 seconds...
Maybe Fuji adding "face detected" to the file is affecting the buffer. 🤣 Can you think of any other explanation? 🤔
Quickly doing the maths 40mpx Raw files are probably averaging 40mb ish each at lossless compressed and if your doing 10fps? that’s trying to move 400mb of data per second, note your card is rated at 300mbs. This seems like a combination of 40mpx sensor and 300mbs SD card speed bottle neck and possibly small internal buffer not helping.
OHHH i don't even use it at 10fps because it's too much... i use it CL at 5FPS and it still stutters...@@eliaspap8708
I have no idea squirrely i'm not a scientist... Maybe the processing chip has to calculate the AF and as well clear the buffer??? I have no idea...@@SquirrelHybrid
Do you have the clarity on your film sim set to a positive or negative? I used to think my camera was moving slow, but once I put the clarity back at 0 everything was perfect
With your models, it's no wonder the camera overheats, mate.
LOL 😂
😜❤️😎
After being not too bothered about the 40 megapixels suddenly my pixel peeping eye is really appreciating the quality of the new image. Which is bad news for my bank account.
Well done for pumping out the fuji content. Hopefully the UA-cam gods will reward you with more subscribers.
Thanks dude I’m crossing my fingers 🤞
I agree with your long term review, the buffer indeed sucks but then again "the right tool for the right job" this was never advertised as a sports camera, and for portraiture, street, travel, macro and landscape photography is perfectly fine. If you need to shoot bursts of images all the time then you get yourself an a1, z9, z8, r6II, xh2, etc.
you are right
If I shoot sports or wildlife I take my Nikon Z8. I would never think of using my X-T5 for that.
Exactfuckingly
weird, i use my X-H1 with no problems for sports@@mick1967
I use my full frame Nikon's professionally, but I purchased the XT-5 for travel. I am very impressed with the image quality of this camera, but I noticed that the 40 megapixel sensor is very demanding and requires very good lenses in order to resolve detail with this sensor. The Fuji 70-300 is an excellent match for the the XT-5. The Tamron 17-70mm 2.8 is good, but not perfect with the XT-5. The tiny Sigma 18-50 2.8 works surprisingly well with the XT-5. The slow buffer doesn't bother me. It is for travel anyway. That is what my Z9 is for. I purchased the Fuji hand grip and it improves the ergonomics somewhat. I am going to purchase the 23mm F/2, but it is frequently out of stock. I enjoy your channel!
Thank you for your support and for being a part of our channel! It means a lot to hear that you're enjoying the content. I'm glad the XT-5 has exceeded your expectations with its image quality. Don't worry, the 23mm F/2 will be back in stock soon and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait!
Fujifilm offers a metal hand grip for the X-T5. I bought it day 1 and it's great. I never take it off. Makes the grip what it should be.
And I totally agree, with the grip the xt5 is perfect in my hands
Great review. Love your images.
Glad you like them!
Lol I know your in love with the fanny s5ii!! ❤️ the panny S5ii just looks so cool 🥳
Ya it’s great if you shoot video😀
Great video, really informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Funny how people get weird around cameras but when it’s a phone with quick access to the internet they couldn’t care less 😂
ppl get weird around phones too what you mean? Apple fan boys... Android fan boys....
Dude I had to sub. Loved every bit of this review. Plus your photos are damn good! I have to ask, how do we find your film recipes? because man are they nice!
Thanks man. It’s my personal preset. I will need to put that up for sale one day
Thanks for your honest review
My pleasure 😊
I've been enjoying the X-T5. Coming from the X-T3 it's nice to have IBIS and a higher resolution LCD, and one new feature that people neglect to mention is that the screen pulls out towards you slightly so that the viewfinder isn't blocking the screen as much when looking down.
One issue I do have with it is that when punching-in the white balance on the LCD drastically changes (ie. becoming very warm), and when punching-out it takes a second to readjust back to normal. But the white balance is normal when taking the picture, even if I took the picture during the "very warm" preview.
That's interesting... I don't know if that has happened to me yet.. But I'll keep that in mind when I'm out shooting...
Did you try turning off "Natural Live View" in Screen Settings page 2 of 4? I did that, and now I get a great representation in the viewfinder and LCD screen.
I figured the opposite would be true, but alas here we are. LMK if you have that off and if it helps if you had to do that.
Menu --> Wrench --> Page 2 --> 3rd option down "Natural Live View" --> Set to "OFF"
@@SamBrownMusic It was turned off, but turning it on doesn't fix it either. I'll also note that this seems to only happen when any of the 3 auto white balance modes are selected.
Thanks for the suggestion though. 🙂
@SquirrelHybrid yes. All of the AUTO white balance will vary depending on the room. I have set a couple of customs to be a neutral, a cool, and a greenish hue for most of my shots.
Great review thank you!!! I am loving my xt5.
I showed up at a sports shoot and found out about the buffer while on a job 🤦♂️. Still made it work ;) tho
Ya the buffer sucks but we making it work! haaha
Amazing photos!!!! Love your color. What film simulation do you usually use or are those edited? LOVE my X T5
The shots you see in this video were edited.. and I usually slap on astia, provia, or classic chrome on top of the edit.
Like me and nostalgic négative to 👍
The buffer issues are probably because of the SD cards. I have a z8 and shoot on the CF express card and it’s night and day. Great video!
The Z8 looks like a beast! How you liking it? Is the AF tracking good as sony?
I don't think so. X-H2s has around 5GB buffer, and X-T5 around 2GB. Also, 40MP RAW is more havier.
BTW. What do you think about Z8? Is AF good? Did you miss the mechanical shutter?
Hello, I'm telling you about my situation to see if you can advise me. I work mainly as a product and event photographer, although I also make videos without using very "complex" codecs for companies and events. Until now I was using an xt3 with the 10-24, the 16-55, the 50-140, the 33 and a 27 that I use for street. It has happened to me twice in the middle of a job that the shutter got stuck and I couldn't fix it. So my question is, is it worth switching to Sony? Or is the xh2s professional enough to last for many years? The Sony system calls me the sigma lens park, the focus, the durability and that it is ff. Regarding the Fuji, I already have quite a few lenses (although they are expensive), I feel comfortable with the Fuji, but I don't feel it is as professional as the Sony. I appreciate any comments.
Thanks for sharing, with the buffering issues, what card speed specs are using and are u recording to one or two card slots?
V90 cards, and shooting raw in one and jpeg in the second.
I have the X-T5 and X-S20 and no kidding, the grip on the 20 is SO much better. For what it's worth I tried the JJC grip, and I never got along with it because there's a corner that's not rounded over and it dug into my palm. I've since bought the SmallRig grip and used that over a week-long vacation - MUCH better. They chamfered that corner and it was a non-issue.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always helpful to hear about different grips and how they compare to each other. Glad you found one that works better for you!
Been using an X-S10 for a few years and can’t decide between X-T5 and X-S20 for my upgrade. Leaning towards X-T5 as I’m doing 99% photos and kinda don’t like the flip screen.
hey I shot an awesome turtle race the other day! haha, just kidding. that line was really funny. good video, looking into the X-T5 to augment all my sony gear. waiting for the (hopefully) upcoming 16-50 to be packaged with it as a kit lens. also looking at the 18mm 1.4 to complement the kit lens (cityscape, city, street, landscape, travel; no events, sports or portrait).
Thanks for that, makes me feel better at getting the H2. The T5 writing speed is what made me get a H2. I'm in grief over missing the T line features (classic dials, size, push commands, approachable look). Fuji should have put two CF card slot in it (and the H2 too, not just one CF). BTW, even the smaller T3 grip is perfect for me.
The H2 is definitely a solid choice!
Long time no see! Great video and update! Does it hurt using the camera and lenses along coastal areas where the air is salty?
Not that I am aware of..I live by the water and it's been fine.
I’ve been thinking about an xt5 or if I should wait to see if an xpro 4 comes out soon…not sure what to do :(
Hi thanks for your amazing video. Regarding the overheating issue you mentioned, my xt5, gets slightly warm on the left grip, even just after 20 minutes of turning it on, only shooting. Has that been your experience as well?
This hasn't happened to me. Do you live somewhere warm?
Ur low light shots are so fuqin' good
Thanks bro!
I just picked up the XT3 with the battery grip, but the XT5 sounds so compelling after watching this video...
the xt3 is great man!
Actually i found that the xt5 was perfectly serviceable for sports shooting when i was the F1 race in singapore although i felt the AF was a bit lacking
awesome!
X-T5 is amazing. I use CH/CL 1% of the time.
Awesome! How come you didn’t bring the Viltrox 27?
I would have love to have it for my trips but I wasn’t cool enough to be a beta tester
I got a hand grip on amazon for $15 for my XT4 and its a game changer.
nice!
nicely done, did recent firmware update make AF better?
If this is the one that came out like a week or two ago. I haven’t updated..
This update was an improvement for wide angle lenses.
I have the XH2S already and want a second smaller body. Torn between xt5 and xs20
Xt5 if you want weather sealing dual card slot… xs20 for the rest of video stuff and grip.
Unfortunately the buffer is the result of the 40mp sensor .... I also prefer the grip of the XS1O XS20 ... If I didn't already have XS10 I think I would get the XS20
Yup it’s a drag
I wish they had brought back the old metering selection dial as of the X-T3.
I shoot mostly live music and the buffer is non-issue for me. I shoot at 3fps in continuous low, typically. I really do wish we could use the clarity setting without a buffer, though. I’m sure they’re working on it for the next firmware update… right? 😅
Haha I do too. But don't hold your breath, Fuji's been slacking with the firmware updates.
I'm most interested in the new larger sensor and the IBIS for my manual lenses - specifically for the Rokinon 135mm F2 (if you ever see a copy cheap get it, incredible lens).
Understandable with the buffer size, with the X-T5 having higher resolution files.
Ohhh??? I’ll have to take a look. Never used a Rokinon before
@@Iamtongue Also made by Samyang. Easily one of the sharpest lenses out there. As it was made for full-frame, on crop sensor you get edge-to-edge performance at F2. You can get the full frame version with an adaptor for Fuji, but I opted for the native Fuji version of this lens. Considering what people pay for a Nikkor or Canon 135mm F2ish lens this thing is a bargain. Of course, it is heavy, and manual but you especially might appreciate it for portrait work. As far as bokeh goes on the Fuji platform, this can also create some of the blurriest backgrounds with it telephoto F2 performance. Others may opt for the 50-140 F2.8 for practicality, but the Rokinon is still the top for sheer quality.
@@malfunkt ohh I didn’t know it was made for full frame.. so what you’re getting is a 210mm and some change focal length.. isn’t that a bit tight?
Would you recommend the xt5 for somebody just getting into photography and primarily wanting to do portrait photography?
I’ve had my eye on it for a few weeks now whilst trying to find alternatives but I really like the size, colours, price tag ect almost eve try thing seemed perfect Until you mentioned the buffer. 😅
Yes, absolutely, just don't blast it like I do and you'll be fine. It's been my daily camera ever since!
@@Iamtongue appreciate it
I do wildlife photography as a hobby shooting with Canon R5. I need a travel camera/back up camera. I used to have X-E3 and X-T2, love Fuji camera so I recently bought an X-T5. Man the buffer is very disappointed just like you mentioned. Also the AF is not same level as the R5. Well I bought it for travelling use shouldn't complain too much.
I think for travelling it's been amazing! The light set up is worth it...
where is that basketball court located at???
Hi! I have a question. I do food photography and videography and I'm wondering if this camera is good for shooting closeup food videos in low light? Also, what do you think is the best lens for food photography? Thank you!
Any camera now a days is great. You have to get something that can shoot close to capture the detail, i don't know what your budget is but look into macro lenses or even the 56mm f1.2
@@Iamtongue TYSM! I'll check it out 😊
I still want one ☝🏾
it's still awesome!
Its good when its tight and not loose😊😊😊
Yup gotta love the tight back lcd 3 way Tilty screen 🫠
@@Iamtongue 😬
I’m torn. I love the compact size of the XT5 especially compared to the Z9 and the battery life is great. But I’m still tempted by the Nikon ZF. It only gets about half the battery life and is bigger but with that said, I had a Nikon z6ii and it never over heated on me and the photos were beautiful. I think I’m going to end up with 3 cameras lol 😂
Give in to the GAS 😂
I jumped over to Nikon recently after years with Fuji. When playing around with the files in LR I do not miss Fujifilm one bit.
@@Gundolf300 nice 👍 what camera did you get?
@@Iamtongue Z7ii. It's a beast for sure but I can't deny that I do miss certain things about Fuji 😅
@@Gundolf300 ohh ya like what? The colours? 😈🤣
As a Canon RP user yes the buffer on these my economically priced cameras sucks.......
as for the buffer, shooting at 10fps for 5 seconds is more than enough buffer for sports. if you're holding the shutter for longer than 2 seconds, really, you're not knowing what you want to shoot. you're just hoping for a good shot.
Oh its you 👍
now now, let's not change the dynamics here. You start with a"👍" and i respond with a "👍" and then you say something and then I say "oh it's you"
👍
ohh its you again...😂@@TheNhG77
I love the X-T5 but the buffer is indeed not great. I get not even 2 seconds when shooting 15 fps bursts which I don't quite understand given that the X-H2 buffer lasts endlessly when using the same SD card. It's however not a deal breaker for me as I shoot 90% of the time in continuous low at 6 FPS which allows me to extend the buffer sufficiently.
But still craps out
Hey! You still shooting jpg and raw… ? I found I use about 20% of my images during a shoot out more straight jpg with very minor tweaks! I just hate storing both images for everything!!! Any thoughts? lol
I've been using Raws just because I want all that information to push and pull when I'm editing portraits!
Have you used/needed the 1/180,000 shutter speed available on the electronic shutter? Seems crazy - but I have hit 1/32,000 on my camera before. On XT3 you get 42 frames at 11 fps mechanical, and at 20fps you get 42 frames. XT5 does 15fps mechanical for 22 frames and 13fps electronic yields 29 frames. Basically the XT5 with 24% more resolution gets 52% or half as many frames as the XT3. So I'd say they cranked up the file size without increasing the buffer size at all. That is a bummer. On the XT3 I rarely do more than very short high-speed bursts, but the last thing I want is WORSE performance when "upgrading". Based on your complaints, it seems like you need an XH2! But of course one that is in your hand, you'll miss the XT5's "stealth" (just like I would). This is why I can't dump the XT3 - its awesome to have a small, uncomfortable body when you are out and about. But then, slap a battery grip on and you are ready for pretty much anything. XT5 definitely should not have been crippled it could have been amazing.
The most I went up to was 1/64000 I was shooting at f0.95 during the summer it was wild!! And ya I had the xh2 but sold it to get the xt5! I’ll live with it even though it’s annoying. It’s still an amazing camera minus this one annoyance.
Did autofocus get better with its recent firmware?
couldn't tell you because I didn't update just yet..
Try a thumb grip on your hot shoe. I like this better than a bottom plate on my X-t3.
ohh good idea!
Have considered replacing your X-T5 and XH2s with an XH2 anddits 40 megapixel sensor??
i sold my xh2 for an XT5, haha i wanted something lighter. I don't regret the switch.
@@Iamtongue Are you still using XH2s as a hybrid or do you leave it home when you only want to take stills and in that case use your XT-5?
Ya i still use it for hybrid. I'm going to use it more now that I have a two lens setup. Switching lenses is a drag. I rather switch cameras on during the shoot for a smoother transition.
How about XT5 for video? Is it still good enough?
Yes,
if you watch this video... everything was filmed on the XT5 and a gimbal...
ua-cam.com/video/YunaTmVjSR0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Iamtongue
If you had an X-S10 and only took photos with it and wanted to upgrade, would you go for the XT-5 or the X-S20? Asking for a friend :^)
It depends on what your friend shoots... but me not knowing anything about your friends situation, and I'm just going off with things that I like... i'll take the XS20.
If you need a better buffer, that's what the X-H series is for, no? The X-T5 is, from what I understand, definitely geared towards the slower photographers as you say. The physical dials are also probably not the best options for sports photography. With that said - even as a concert photographer I have never needed to shoot 5 seconds continously with a high burst.
Which software u use for edit?
Lightroom and photoshop
Anyone have any tips for extending battery life on X-H2? Ive turned it to EVF only when my eye is up to it, the pre focus thing and am turning it off in between shots but i feel like it's far off the quoted mark.
put your camera in economy mode? Maybe your camera is on one of those boost modes and that thing can drain your battery...
Thanks dude - When you're going around a city are you economy more than boost?
Me, i leave it on standard or economy... more than I have it on boost.
@@Iamtongue this may be my issue lol, thanks!
@@equinox9 cheers bro! Good luck cuz I think the xh2 has good battery life still.
ar eyou editing in Adobe or C1?
adobe
Can you send that studio In Toronto! Perfect for a creative I have in mind
Yes of course!
www.studiobyhouse.com/
Your right the hand grip sucks and when u add a hand grip it makes the camera almost as big as the XH2 . The xs20 managed to stay super small with the perfect hand grip
i concur!
Where's the XT-40? Thats the size I'm looking forward to.
I like the way the camera grip feels. It's no where near as much as my Nikon Z6, but I think of the grip kind of like a crimp hold on a rock climbing wall. So for you bouldering fans it's great! Lol
Haha
Try the SmallRig L grip.
Can you make a video of how you became a photographer/how to be a full time photographer. You take beautiful pictures with great compositions and it seems you have alot of work and currently i would love to transition to being a full time photographer and or getting jobs as a photographer. Thank you in advance if you ever get to reading this.
I’ll see what I can do can’t promise you anything!
Were you using V60 or V90 Card ?
v90
Buffer problems? Why are you shooting sports with raw files? I've talked with several top professional sports photographers--ones who shoot NFL, MLB, Olympics, etc.--and none of them shoot raw files. They are shooting for clients that need shots immediately, i.e., the wire service doesn't have time to convert raw to JPG for publication. Try shooting JPGs only and see if the buffer is still a problem. And as others have posted, you may be able to buy faster cards, too. There is a video on YT that shows a guy getting great results shooting basketball with the X-T5. Thanks for posting! I love your channel!
That’s cool if you shoot jpg. What about the people that want to shoot raws doing high action stuff? You gonna discount them off? The great thing about UA-cam is i am just one opinion out of all the millions out there.. I’m only sharing from what I’m experiencing.. you telling me that I should get a faster memory card is moot. It’s like you calling into your internet service provider and them telling you to unplug the power from the modem and plugging it back in when you know damn well that’s not the issue I shoot with v90 cards with all my cameras so this shouldn’t be an issue.. thanks for sharing your thoughts
You're welcome! @@Iamtongue
LOL! Turtle racing photographers.... Somehow they always beat the hare though! :-) How is the X-H2 for sports? Have a great day my friend!
It’s much better for sports than the xt5 just cuz of that cf express type b memory card
@@IamtongueAhhhh, forgot about the CF card.... I'm definitely not going to be in that budget level of camera for a while. Maybe when the next generation comes out.
Do I see some clips from studio C at studio by House? lol
Yessir I was there
@@Iamtongue I have always used studio a. But definitely going to use C very soon.
Makes you wonder how sports photographers managed in the old days with 5 frames a second and manual focusing, and they did.
alot of practice and persistence
I was laughing at myself reading the bird af.. I was like bird as fucK?! like what?? hahah 😆
LOL bird as fuck as a nice ring everyday
The battery is insane. I honestly forget to turn it off and its still good in the morning. 😂
The amount of times this happens to me
Is the buffer worse than the XT3?
ya, i don't remember the xt3 locking up as muhc as the xt5.
wow that's nuts, I do a lot of wildlife and was hoping to get the XT5 but this is a problem if so@@Iamtongue
@@biriyaniiii you would be better with the XH2s. It’s because in the xt5 has the same buffer as the xt3 but now you are shooting with 40 megapixel raws. Lots more memory.
I use faster SD cards and have no buffer problems. But again I’m not shooting sports.
Me too lol 😌if you switch your AF to AFC it’ll stutter but if it’s with AFS it won’t.
"Shooting sports is out of the question with this camera" - sorry, disagree. It is all about knowing your sport, previewing the next movement, be present of what's going on and then do a couple of photos. 3-5 should be easily enough. If you shoot with a deep buffer, you end up with hundreds if not thousands of very similar photos, this can kill your joy with photography, as you will have - every time - to delete hundreds and thousands of photos. Boring as hell.
I like options though...
Black is less than mid, silver is the way to go
5 sec burst is more than enough
Not when the buffer takes long to clear and delays everything..
Why would you even buy it if you want more than 10 fps? What am I missing?
I don't. wtf i didn't say that.
Xf33mm F4?
F1.4 my bad haha 🤣
@@Iamtongue I thought it must be 🤣 love the xt3 and still looking over the fence at the xt5. Nostalgic neg, ability to crop better (with 40mp) and easier programming of recipes (WB shift, amount of simulations, clarity etc) are all attractive features. And the battery as you mention!
Buffer, buffer, buffer… wrong camera! XH-2 is the one. Type B card and not a worry. But you sold that one, didn’t you😜
You’re going to have to choose between stealth and speed😁
😂🫠 I guess I do
Am I the only person who really wants touch tracking?!? I love how SONY has touch tracking where you can touch the screen and it tracks to whatever you touch. Not just hoping it grabs a face or an eye. I love my XT-5 but at my job I use a SONY FX-3 and the tracking is definitely better.
The tracking on the Sony is unmatched. I do want it too but whatever Fuji implements is gonna be shit lol
My xs10 has tracking where you touch the screen, but only stills not in video
You do that with Wide Tracking af mode. My x-t3 has that, pretty sure all the fuji cameras have that.
I've pre-ordered it and had it returned after just holding it and tinkering with the dials, buttons, door, etc. Felt like a toy in contrast to the XT-2. So I'm still waiting for the Xpro line...
The xpro line should be good
Buffer and hand grip problems will make you wish you had that XH-2S instead.
i do have a xh2s as well.
I would of already bought one, but its just to big for being an apsc camera
Really ??? I find the XH2s to be too big for an apsc camera. The XT5 is fine.
@@Iamtongue I'm looking for the XT-40 size. If they ever bring it out.
The video cant come more appropriate. Am about to sell my T4 and want to replace it with a T5.
You’ll love it if you don’t mind the buffer 😅
Why??? I think u should upgrade lens than buying new camera...
set DR400 to get more DR in highlights also affects RAW's
You will then need to keep your iso at least at 640 though.
@@Iamtongue hm not sure, when i tested on my gfx100s min iso was 400 vs no DR400 but still 400 i was still able to pull more highlight DR, i dont remember if i tested on higher issos
XT5 needs ISO 500 for DR400 - XT3/4 need ISO 640 (2-stops from base ISO). I find it more helpful for IN-CAMERA editing since you don't have enough latitude/precision for highlight or shadow boost/cut. In a few test shots I tried, I found that shooting base ISO (160) managed to yield a better result because there was less noise in the shadows. If your plan is to edit RAW files later, is seems better to keep the ISO down and the expose for the highlights. Buy IDK - both images came out looking good.
Get a XH2 or use fast cards
This is giving “unplug and plug-in your modem” vibes
Shooting sports is out of the question with this camera??? Seriously? Dude, try shooting athletics, basketball or soccer with Nikon D1 from 1998. 10 frames burst and that's it. 2.3MP only. No raw, jpeg only (if you don't wanna shoot bursts of only 2 shots). Not to mention that in the film era you had only 5 sec of continuous shooting (if you had camera that was gobbling film at 5fps) that's all that you had before you had to change a film roll. That's what I had to do back in the day, and that's how I shoot those sports to this day. No raw files, jpeg only, course that will make your buffer WAY deeper. Oh yeah, you have to learn how to shoot jpeg only. For a client. Smart dude you are, shouldn't be that hard. And now tell me agin that you can't shoot sports with the X-T5...
Ohh
3:04 💀
hahaha
I would love the XT5 f Fuji would’ve put a 26 megapixel bayer sensor and a fully articulating screen.
This would be great
Wouldn't that be the X-S20?
ya but with weather sealing, better evf, and dual sd cards...
I think the mistake Fuji made is all this 'tier' nonsense and it's annoyed fans. The XH line is supposed to be flagship, you get the most pro features and accessory support. XH2S = stacked sensor, best video specs, battery grips, CF Express B and super EVF etc etc. Then the XT line is mid tier, you get a crummier EVF, no CF Express B, no battery grip (so many pros shooting with the XT3/4 professionally wanted stay with the XT5 but the omission of the battery grip was a deal breaker for them, they went elsewhere) 😥
And then there is the entry level or lower tier, stuff like the XS20, but its still too expensive in some ways, garbage EVF, no WR, no dual slot. This XS20 cost me more than the XT4 and about $1kAUD more than what it's predecessor XS10 was going for. So I dunno... it all feels a bit weird and messy.
If Fuji just made good cameras and let their user base decide on the interface they wanted that would be better imo. Imagine a XT5 with CF Express B, XH2S EVF, buffer like XH2S, battery grip support etc. People would love it! Choose a deeper grip and PASM style and flip out screen of the XH2/S or go for the XT5 analogue controls with similar support. But no...
PS, I think the L, M and S settings for IQ is a Jpg only thing. I'm not sure you can actually get lower mega pixels from the XT5 than 40 (which might explain the zero difference to buffer). I think brands of cameras that allow this difference sized megapixels tend to make a big deal about it in marketing and I haven't seen any of that with Fuji but I might be wrong 🤷ua-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f625.png
Dude, I totally get what you're saying! The camera tiers can be a bit confusing, but it's cool to hear your take on it. Maybe one day they'll make a camera that's just perfect for everyone.
And i wish Fujifilm would just give us small medium L raws like they have in Sony cameras.
Dang 4 months is long term bro!? Lol
I think that’s a decent enough time 😂 would it help if I said 5 months cuz and then you can round up to half a year. 😂😂😂
@@Iamtongue LOL you’re hilarious bro. Just pulling your leg. It’s honestly a good amount of time. I do consider short term 1-5 months and long term 6-12. But it blurs at the mid point depending on how much one uses the camera. Regardless, I could confidently say you have a years worth of experience with the T5 ✅.
Bro, come to India we still get food at 1$ 😂 and there is no recession.
Fuck ya bro I would love to ahah
May be XT5 is for regular guy with slow shooting. Pros should use the XH2 instead.
Yes i agree.
If your camera doesn't trigger you with atleast 1 quirk then there's something wrong with your decision. 😂 Just like with women. 😉
lmao
