I bought it right out of the gate, used it for a month in Paris and London, and lo and behold, it was a great photography camera. Totally agree with the comments on its limitations, namely the video performance, but that wasn’t its selling point to begin with. It’s a true successor to the XT3, a photographer’s camera. The AF upgrade and bump in resolution were definitely worth the purchase.
I updated from XT2, and one thing I am struggling with sometimes is that the low light performance (or at least how same ISO affects the pictures). I love it, I think it's worth it for me, to be able to crop in.
Hats off to you b’ys for pointing out manual focus. Something often never mentioned. Thanks. BTW I got the H2 from the T3 because of the near endless buffer and sensor. My focusing experience has been good. Mostly birding with a 100-400mm and its been outstanding.
@@demonsaint1296 I'm on the fence between XT5 and XH2. What are the arguments for the XT5... I mainly shoot auto ISO with auto1 at 1/15 SS, auto2 at 1/200 SS and auto3 at 1/320. I prefer to select my aperture and leave the camera do the rest. I may adjust the brigthness to get the histogram to the left... So the dials, also I think I like them, lately I don't really use them. More over, every time I shutdown my XT3, I have to prepare it for a surprise shot... AF-c dial at the front, CH on the mode dial, iso on auto, SS at 1/2000, exposure comp at -1, select the right auto-focus speed and stickiness... This is a lot of steps... I'm used to it, but still... With the Xh2, I'll be able to have all that on C2 (with C1, C3 for 2 other fast shooting set-up). When I switch of, I'll just leave the camera in C2. If I see something I want to shoot, I can possibly move the dial up or down to go to C1 or C3, but I am ready instantly.
@@alexdubois6585 that will work with the H2. Set stuff up and just turn one dial to get close to what you need to shoot at the time. I have several set for portraits, birds/wildlife, fast moving people indoors, and a general photography. I don’t have the shutter speed and iso dials anymore but its easy enough to learn the new setup. Shutter speed is a dial I turn with my finger and iso… I have to click a button and scroll through what iso I want with three iso ranges I have set. I have adapted and love the camera so far. Oh yea the only thing I like about the “flippy” screen is I can turn it around so the screen isn’t showing for a little protection.
@@yamibg Is it possible to shoot video without having to switch the mode dial to movie mode....I'd like to stay in photo mode but shoot video clips without swiching the dial...It's seems like you should be able to do this but i had an xt3 in the past and that was a deal breaker for me because i wanted to use the camera in water housing to shoot surfing photos and videos without having to fiddle with the dials....i simple custom button programed allowing this would've been all i needed to do this.
Been a hobbyist for a few years now. Had always shot Sony - a6000, a6600, a7r iv.. ended up selling them all last year. Found myself not using them like I should be. Bought the X-T5 when it came out, and I use it all the time. I’m not sure what it is about Fujifilm - but when I pick up that camera, I just feel more inspired. Not sure why. This camera just makes me happier than Sony - if that’s worth anything to anybody haha
Less computer and more old-school camera....faster to set up shot. More intuitive because of dials. AND that trains the brain, hand, and eyes to see what you need for the shot.
Im about to switch as well! Sony is just WEIRD most of the time, idk. Seems like every picture just has something weird to it a lot of the time to where you have to do so much to make it “interesting”. Colors are either too green, too orange, white balance is always weird. The pictures have no “style” a lot of the time, like you was saying. Fujifilm just has that “look” for amazing, creative photography. And I’ve shot weddings and sports extensively with A7 iii, A7c, and A7r5. The video is top tier though, and sports photography.
Just upgraded from an XT-3 to the XT5 and am more than satisfied. Autofocus improvements and IBIS is enough of a justification alone. I've been able to capture BIF that I would have had no chance of doing with the XT-3. Cropping in at 40 MP is also a game changer. There are the small things as well, like the ability to retain the timer between power offs. The form factor is perfect for the motorcycle travel I do. I am so glad I did not jump on the XT-4 and waited. When I do selfies if place a cheap hdmi monitor on the hot shoe and am good to go. Battery life is amazing. If you are doing Jpeg, the right combination of noise reduction and sharpness make ISO noise kind of a non issue. Noise reduction in post is so good these days that it is not much of an issue. Seperate menus for movie and photo is awesome. There is just so much to like. The biggest impediment to the quality of my captures is my skills and that is something I try to continually improve.
I have a Fujifilm XT-5. And honestly it's the best stills camera I have used. I like it so much I ended up selling my a7iv. Everything from the manual retro design, fantastic color, high res sensor and so much more. It's such a fantastic camera.
@@Nutmilk157 I used to have a x-t3. With 6400 ISO, the noise was really acceptable and with only small values of noise reduction in LR I could completely fix it.
I'm generally of the philosophy that full articulating screens are great for big bodies and flip up screens are great for compact bodies. Sometimes I just want quick access to waist-level shooting without doubling the footprint of my camera and also the time to shutter. I've missed genuine moments of my kids because they either suddenly noticed the camera unfurling or I took too long swiveling and fire the shutter.
I bought an X-T5 about a month ago, to replace a venerable X-T2 and an excellent X-S10. And I have to say, this X-T5 is absolutely fantastic in street photography and outdoors, which are my domains for shooting.
I use the X-T4 & X-Pro3 and I prefer the latter for street. I usually have that big a$$ 16-55mm 2.8 on the X-T4 which is a little bit unwieldy for street photography, and I think the Fujifilm primes fit the X-Pro3 better.
You two never ever disappoint. I’m so glad you guys have continued your work though out the many man years on UA-cam. I trust you guys the most amongst any other creator, alongside with Gordon Laing and The Hybrid Shooter as my top 3 Favorite photography reviewers on UA-cam.
Oh, and I gotta say I love that Jordan scrunched his face during the running AF test. I don’t know if that was intentional to give the face detect a harder challenge, but if it was.. genius implementation to the running test.
I picked up an XT5 at the beginning of last month, I wanted a more friendly looking style camera that I could carry in my bag everywhere with me. I have a Nikon Z6II with big Z 2.8 zooms and 50mm 1.2. While the Z6II takes better and cleaner photos, I definitely can’t lug that system and lenses around with me all the time. So the XT5 has been awesome, I take it out when I go out with friends, etc, I love it.
@@bonechimneyI love the Nikon Z6II, the way that the full frame sensor rendors light and depth is amazing. The image quality even at high ISO values is really superb, you can go to relatively high ISO's like 12800 and the images are still clean. When paired with fast 1.8 and 1.2 Nikon primes, it's even better. I'm still amazed at what the images that come out of this camera look like. The handling and body aren't too far off from the dimensions of the XT5, but I use the Z6II with the grip, so it's a lot bigger, but the body alone is pretty compact.
I bought it and sold it. Then buy back the X-T4. Main reason is Fujifilm has changed the colours in this iteration. Eg. In Provia there is a red tone to it and I really don’t like it. It has lost the Fuji feel . I’m really surprised not many people has mentioned this because it’s really quite obvious. Other reasons are it’s very slow, there’s more noise and the higher resolution doesn’t really make a big difference. It’s like Fujifilm has introduced a new sensor to bring in more income obviously and to show they are evolving. And they will improve it in the coming iterations. But is there really a need for it. I feel the Xt4 is already a very mature system. The MP is just right to give the camera the best balance in terms of speed, noise, and colours. If Fujifilm could give it the same AF as the xt5 it would be perfect. It would be a shame if Fujifilm is discarding this well developed and much liked 26MP sensor in its future systems.
This has been my main camera. I hate to say it but I love it and think it's a worth upgrade. Great image quality and greatly improved auto focus. I would pair this with the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8. Great combo.
Im still using the XT2 and it serves me well, my only complaint is battery life, I have the vertical power grip but more often than not it shows its batteries as being dead (they’re not) so maybe a XT5 or H2 is in my future, but then again my legacy glass may not take full advantage of the 40mp sensor. Still the upgrade will be massive as you’ve mentioned.
I had an X-T3 for four years, still have it as my backup camera. Got the X-T5 on the first day. The larger body, flip-around screen of the X-T4 coupled with its identical sensor to the X-T3 made it a no-brainer to skip. I love the IBIS on my X-T5, it allows me to leave the tripod at home in most cases, and the 40 MP sensor allows me to compose a little wider so I can crop to my heart's content. It's a great camera that handles well, has excellent battery life and will be my photography companion for at least the next four years. Heck, I have an X-T2 that I converted to IR, just love this series.
@@peterjackhandy yes, but I would’ve had a far bulkier camera with a lower resolution and that swing out LCD screen that I have no interest in at all. I knew what I was doing when I skipped the X-T4.
@@fredjkproductions would you still recommend the X-T5? I'm looking to buy one, and the new 56mm 1.2 WR lens for Travel photography. I have a Nikon d5300 from 2013 and its too clunky to carry around everywhere. you said 4 years until you upgrade, is that a long time in between your upgrades? I don't want to buy the camera then it becomes obsolete in a year or two
@@TheStoicPath_ I could have happily going on using the X-T3. However, with the vastly improved battery life and the inclusion of IBIS and a redesign from the X-T4, I cannot imagine that I will have any interest in updating my X-T5 as long as it is in functional condition which should hopefully be very many years. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a camera.
@@MarkRosengarten that’s great to hear, it looks like my ideal camera as well. I’m going to be picking one up. My only concern is it can’t shoot ProRes and I have a MacBook and Final Cut X, not that I’d be wanting to take very much videos but when I do the native support would be nice. Is the difference in quality and editing speed noticeable when shooting ProRes vs Normally?
Absolutely trust and love your reviews. You guys influence my next purchase. What is really nice is you're not sold on brand fandom. Accurate, unbiases, and accurate. Well done to you and the Drake.
I just bounced from a decade-plus of using Nikon to this X-T5 a year ago. I spent a lot of time researching cameras, trying to find one that would get me back to a more "old-school" camera with controls. I lived in Europe in the 90s and was shooting a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000. That was a fun period in my life, shooting photos. I have spent the last year building my selection of lenses. This time around, I am spending the dollars to buy Primes. What a difference between my kit lenses in the '90s and even those I used with my Nikons. I really love the 33 F1.4. Just picked up the 56 1.2 and the 16-55 2.8. Next month, I am heading out to Arizona for a big ballooning event. I hope to get an opportunity to pull my monster 100-400 out during that trip. I am still learning, but I am loving my X-T5 so far.
As some one who bought an XT-4 in 2021 when I saw the xt5 I knew I was upgrading. For me, the xt4 had a few caveats that didn’t work for me. It seemed like Fujifilm was trying turn a product designed for photography and photography enthusiast specifically and try to mold it with more video capabilities for hybrid shooters/vloggers. It seems like the xt4 did not make a splash in that segment they way it was intended so the xt line is seemingly returning to its roots with the xt5. The xt5 has very thing I wanted that I felt the xt4 was lacking for me like a smaller body, the three way tilt screen, the dials feel smoother imho, and a bigger grip. I am definitely happier with my xt-5 over my xt4.
I just ordered the XT5. It'll be an upgrade from my XT1. I'll still be using the same 18-55 kit lens, but I did order the XT27mm R WR for city walk-around Europe.
Great review, thanks! As a data point, I own an X-T4 for still photography and love it. The slightly larger body size and physical style doesn’t bother me one bit.
You need to shoot video in F-Log2 for those 13+ stops of dynamic range. Don't even think about shooting in low light in any other mode. You can add any color recipe under the sun AFTER you make sure you get as much detail into the sensor as possible. (yes, colors will return in the edit). Baked in colors only work on something like a 5D Mark 3 with Magiclantern which pushes out 14 Bit color at 15 stops of dynamic range and 5.7K anamorphic resolution. The Fuji line up does 13 stops max at 10 bit color and 6.2K resolution.
I think it's time you guys switched to using one of the kids for the run at the camera autofocus test - Jordan looks like he is about to have a heart attack! 🙂 Great job as always.
I think the 3-way screen is easier to use but I do like the flip-out screen on my X-T4 for those times when I just want to leave it hiden and have a very vintage-looking camera xD
Still undecided between the X-T5 and the X-H2. I like the mechanical dials though I found the hybrid system on the original H1 the best with the additional display. The significantly better EVF (5.76MPixel vs 3.69 MPixel) and the full sized HDMI Type A port (vs the flimsy and always failing Type D Micro-HDMI connector on the X-T5) both make me question whether the X-T5 is the best choice here just because I like the dials. Price difference isn't too bit either. Including taxes and all it's ~12.5% difference or ~250€. I guess my next camera will be the H2 then ...
I was all excited to buy this camera until I found out that this is the first XT camera where Fuji took away the option for a battery grip. I know the batteries on this camera last a long time, but honestly for me with large hands and for shooting vertical portrait shots, the grip makes all the difference in the world. Ended up getting the XH2 for only $150 more which included the FREE $400 battery grip. Very happy.
This body looks like a hit. Glad to read about the improvements in this body. That being said, I wont upgrade. I waiting for the upgraded XPRO4 or X100VI with the new sensor and IBIS. You have not made the argument that this body is so superior to what I already own I need to upgrade my kit. I appreciate the review. My there are a lot of Fuji fans on this review. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
But I like my XT-4, my go to for street photography…I checked the XT-5 and I think the body is too small..I would want to accessorize it for better handling
I have a question: I record lengthy nature scenes (birds, squirrels and wildlife ) and need a camera that will record continuously for several hours. I currently use the Sony A6400 which will record for 10 hours straight on a 256GB Card and on A/C power. I would prefer to use my Fujifilm XT2 with unlimited A/C power via the battery grip, as it’s got much better quality but the video time limits make it impractical to press record every 30 minutes. I’ve heard that the XT5 has no video recording time limits (until battery exhausts or memory card fills up) but has no power grip to plug in a/c power. Can the xt5 connect to A/C power, enabling several continuous hours of recording footage? If not, can you recommend a camera (preferably from the fujifilm family) that can? Thank you.
I'm using the "Movie silent control" on my X-T3, with only the touchscreen for video and the classic dials for photo, which I love. This makes the interface perfect for a hybrid camera IMO. I hope the X-T5 retains this ability to separate between a touch-screen interface for all things video and the classic dials for photo. Yet due to the inherent limitations of the 40 MP sensor for video and because I have a complete Sony kit for higher resolution without having to worry about lenses I'll skip the X-T5.
I personally couldn't care about the bump in megapixels.... 26mp is enough for me. I don't need or want all that data. However the rest of the upgrades from the XT3 are excellent.
Speaking of subsambled/oversampled, is there a DP Review database of this for all cameras? Well, I'm specifically looking for data about Lumix cameras.
I'm still very happy with my XT2, 18-135mm lens i know it in and out and to me the lens can shoot exceptionally sharp...ive shot Nature, street and portrait
I switched from X-T3 to 5 and I’m very happy. I switched for the IBIS mainly and it’s working out just as good as I hoped. I have a question for other X-T5 owners though, when you take photos while aiming the camera downwards, does the shutter sound different than when you shoot straight forward? It does on both of mine and I can’t remember having that experience with other cameras in the past.
@@NatsuDragneel-qj8qy I’m not really the best person to ask because I never had high requirements for autofocus. I have been using the bird and animal detection a bit though and it seems okay I guess. I do t know how it works with other brands, but it feels a bit spastic or jittery. I’m talking about the tracking boxes. They jump around between birds if there are more than one of them and sometimes they jump to parts of the frame where there are no birds at all. I don’t know if this is different for other brands but it feels like the bird/animal detection is only used to move the focusing square, it’s not able to detect whether the bird is actually in focus or not. Like if you have bird detection turned off and you move the focusing square over a birds head, the box might be a bit bigger than the birds head and the camera might focus on the background. It feels kinda the same with the bird detection sometimes, it’s only a tool to move the focusing box/square. I don’t know if that is true, it just feels like it. Don’t know if that was helpful or even understandable, but that’s how I feel about it. Seems better than the xt3, but not amazing.
I've noticed the shutter sound different when holding the camera horizontal vs vertical. Not sure if it is just because of its orientation in regards to my ears, but I have noticed it.
I came to watch this review to compare with the just released sony a6700. Thanks for pointing out all the flaws so we can make a fair comparisson. Due the a6700 having better video capabilities, lower price point, better noise sensitivity, better autofocus, smarter autofocus, focus bracketing, bigger RAW shots buffer and improved stability, I can say that the a6700 seems as a better choice if you don't care about the 40mp and you care more about wildlife, macro, video and portraits.
I have had my Fuji film XT5 now for about three weeks. It has exceeded my expectations beyond anything I would've ever expected out of an APC Cameron incredible low light performance at 40 megapixels blows my mind how good this is..... I was sceptical coming from full frame, Nikon cameras, which I swear by still ... If you want to camera that is incredibly good takes great images and is fairly easy to use and Fuji film also have so many affordable lenses. Then this system will bring back peoples questioning of full frame versus APC. This camera performs very close to full frame levels in terms of what it can do.... So do you want to be spending $3000 on full frame lenses or do you want to pick up this camera and get great lenses for $500 and take photos that I just is good. I know which one I went and if you're smart, you'll come to the same decision Ethan can you take Monty for a walk?
It's a shame they didn't include the fully articulating screen. I pretty much only shoot photos and I'm endlessly wishing I had a fully articulating screen for vertical orientation shots (or for ceiling architecture shots). I won't buy another body without one.
I am considering to buy this instead of X-T4. Any suggestions.? (I'm not a professional photographer, I take pictures for fun and my last camera was Fujifilm HS20)
I have the XT3 since launch and it’s way more than enough for me. XT5 is cool and all but I don’t feel the sudden urge to trade and spend $1800 to do so.
The new Nikon ZF is totally gonna hurt the sales of Fuji crop cameras, I'll guarantee it. If you don't go FF Fuji you'll eventually go the way of Pentax. And this is coming from a proud Fuji user.
Have both myself, glad I bought X-t5 ( have lot of xf lenses), it’s always nice to have a good crop body (wildlife, landscape) and this one is the best !
Any chance you're going to do a full review of the X-H2? I know a lot of the things are similar to this one but it would be great to see that video as well. Thanks!
Great review as usual❤ Would you recommend the xt5 & 27mm f2.8 wr or the new x100vi for allaround use? I believe with the digital teleconverter on these cameras I will be covered 😊
I bought mine to replace my XT3 and I couldn’t be happier. It is a wonderful camera. I shoot primarily stills, and shoot headshots and portraits for a living. The XT5 is amazing for my needs.
Never thought I would say this but I do miss the flippy screen. I own the X-T4 with the foldie screen, but it is the flippy is where I miss the handling options. I owned and sold the X100v has it turns out I'm a longer lens type of guy but it was the screen I really enjoyed. Oh well, looks like I will have to start saving my pocket money again.
Manual focus bug? Focus peaking no longer gives a clear viewfinder image when the shutter is half pressed (as it does with X-T2, X-T3 and X-T4). After spending £1700 on this camera I'm seriously disappointed not to be able to see a clear image when focusing manually.
It’s a great camera for street and landscape and portraits photography because of IBIS 40 mp sensor and the tilting screen. For video it is still way more capable than most mirrorless cameras in 2019. Ideally if someone is a true hybrid shooter should get this and the X-H2S or just the X-H2.
I think that's what Fuji was thinking. But oh what about those of us that want a single top hybrid camera without a SPASTIC dial (or whatever it's called).
@@snowwalker9999 Maybe (but I don't think I want to spend that much on a body ie stacked sensor cost). It's just that they've seem to have crippled the video from the X-H2 to the X-T5 when there shouldn't be a need to, not to mention the EVF as well.
@@Paul_Rohde in think that was intentional. They want to make sure all their models sell. But I don’t think there was any need to cripple the video I’m X-T5 or the EVF. The only worthy upgrade is the megapixels.
I like the user-interface design of the X-T4 more than the X-T5 and the X-H2 /X-H2s. I Like all the knob on the X-T5 similar to the X-T4 but I miss the fully articulating flip-screen from the X-T4. I miss all the knobs from on the X-T4 on the X-H2 / X-H2s but like the fully articulating flip-screen similar to X-T4. So in my opinion Fuji need to make a new successor to the X-T4 with knobs from X-T5 and X-T4, a fully articulating flip-screen with all the features from the X-H2s.
Thanks guys for your review. I’m curious, however, about your comments about the punch-in magnification in MF mode not performing well. Is this a different result from the X-H2 or X-T4?
It seems a constant among all Fooj cameras with this feature. I owned the X-T3, and focusing was a matter of deciding on the least glaringly blurry rendition of the scene in the EVF or ob the LCD.
@@tjkrueger2655 I believe the issue is that the punch in picture is a blown up image of low resolution (ie what is already rasterised on screen but blown up), rather than an issue to do with the screen or EVF resolution which is otherwise fine as in all other operations.
I was a huge fan of Fuji film colors in the 90s but I feel like they couldn't keep up with the competition, prioritizing the pro GF system was a mistake imho.
I regret going down the Sony APSC route - At least Fuji are making new bodies and exploring new tech. Sony seem to only care about APSC social media video types, not photographers.
Would love one but struggling to justify the expense between my old digital SLR and this. And then there’s my iPhone 15 Pro, which I wish took worse pics so I can rationalize the expense of an X-T5 😂
Dang, I still use the Canon 5D mark 1. Things have come a long way. But then again, my main camera is a Canon AE-1. Using this might feel like stepping out of my Honda van and into a Ferrari. I might crash it!
"The advantages of the X-T5 for photographers don't really translate for video shooters." That's not a bug, that's a feature. If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera.
i agree this is not usable video content. Really. May look nice but are really not the future (ps. has never been ds) A singe sharp image is not the same as the organic feeling of 60fps at a 60fps screen for example. (No Sony does it wrong).
I am really torned. I have a6300 and I am still waiting for Sony to release a decent hybrid aps-c camera and my gut tells me it should come this year, if release schedule of previous a6xxx series is any indicator, but if there will be no new aps-c camera I am switching to fuji(most likely H2). It looks like that they are really putting attention to their camera line.
Autofocus on your a6300 is still better than what's offered on the xt5. Sony is still the king of mirrorless, they have great lenses and if you make the jump to full frame, your options are endless.
Let's wait a bit. Sony will be releasing a couple of cameras this year and "rumors" (take with a grain of salt) is saying that it might be an apsc model. Me I'm waiting for a small full frame (a7cii) for a travel photog cam to upgrade from a6500.
@@nwmi23 completely wrong , Fuji X-H2 is even better than Sony A74 , if you talk about autofocus Canon is the King , Canon R6 II autofocus is so much better than Sony .

People have been rumoring and hoping against hope for a semi-professional Sony APS-C camera (wishfully called a7000) for many years now and year after year they've been disappointed. In addition, the native APS-C lens system is lacking and saved only by third party options, which are all available in Fujifilm X mount as well, in addition to the excellent native XF lenses. It looks like Sony is treating their APS-C line the same as Canon and Nikon, as a stepping stone to their more lucrative 35mm sensor size products. Fujifilm doesn't have that conflict of interest, which is why as a customer you can get their best for your APS-C camera, they don't try to upsell you to get more of your money.
Just an FYI, not all fuji lenses will work well on this camera. Having said that, these are the lenses that is recommended by Fuji that will fully take advantage of the 40MP this camera has: Fujinon XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR Fujinon XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 R WR Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Fujinon XF 35mm f/2 R WR Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0 R WR Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS Macro Fujinon XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR Fujinon XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Fujinon XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS W
I'm afraid your interpretation or wording gives the wrong message. The lenses not on that list will perform well just as they do on older bodies. If you want the maximum output of the 40 mp sensor (where the sensor is the limiting factor for resolution) then those lenses on the list are optimal. In fact all the lenses will benefit, and if anybody has lenses not on that list there is no need to worry about using them on the new generation sensor, it will be all fine as it was before! Also keep in mind that the bump in resolution is about 24% on the X and Y axis each. It's not double.
@@RoderickJMacdonald From the XT-3/4 sensor the difference is 1.238x on each axis. I count that as 24% extra over 100%. Is my expression wrong? Percentage expression isn't my strong point!
Wow, that guy used to have it all figured out... but since he ditched the bespoke wrist strap, I'm not so sure anymore. ;-) (just kidding,,,) Nice review.
3:22 Guys, you REALLY did hold too much camera gear in your hands in your life 😂 Next time I’m sure we will see a full setup with at least 10 cameras, and a similar style to the lens cleaning video 😉

Hats off to you b’ys for pointing out manual focus. Something often never mentioned. Thanks. BTW I got the H2 from the T3 because of the near endless buffer and sensor. My focusing experience has been good. Mostly birding with a 100-400mm and its been outstanding.
@@demonsaint1296 I'm on the fence between XT5 and XH2. What are the arguments for the XT5... I mainly shoot auto ISO with auto1 at 1/15 SS, auto2 at 1/200 SS and auto3 at 1/320. I prefer to select my aperture and leave the camera do the rest. I may adjust the brigthness to get the histogram to the left... So the dials, also I think I like them, lately I don't really use them. More over, every time I shutdown my XT3, I have to prepare it for a surprise shot... AF-c dial at the front, CH on the mode dial, iso on auto, SS at 1/2000, exposure comp at -1, select the right auto-focus speed and stickiness... This is a lot of steps... I'm used to it, but still... With the Xh2, I'll be able to have all that on C2 (with C1, C3 for 2 other fast shooting set-up). When I switch of, I'll just leave the camera in C2. If I see something I want to shoot, I can possibly move the dial up or down to go to C1 or C3, but I am ready instantly.
@@alexdubois6585 that will work with the H2. Set stuff up and just turn one dial to get close to what you need to shoot at the time. I have several set for portraits, birds/wildlife, fast moving people indoors, and a general photography. I don’t have the shutter speed and iso dials anymore but its easy enough to learn the new setup. Shutter speed is a dial I turn with my finger and iso… I have to click a button and scroll through what iso I want with three iso ranges I have set. I have adapted and love the camera so far. Oh yea the only thing I like about the “flippy” screen is I can turn it around so the screen isn’t showing for a little protection.
@@yamibg Is it possible to shoot video without having to switch the mode dial to movie mode....I'd like to stay in photo mode but shoot video clips without swiching the dial...It's seems like you should be able to do this but i had an xt3 in the past and that was a deal breaker for me because i wanted to use the camera in water housing to shoot surfing photos and videos without having to fiddle with the dials....i simple custom button programed allowing this would've been all i needed to do this.
Been a hobbyist for a few years now. Had always shot Sony - a6000, a6600, a7r iv.. ended up selling them all last year. Found myself not using them like I should be. Bought the X-T5 when it came out, and I use it all the time. I’m not sure what it is about Fujifilm - but when I pick up that camera, I just feel more inspired. Not sure why. This camera just makes me happier than Sony - if that’s worth anything to anybody haha
Thinking of swapping from sony to fugi now haha
Less computer and more old-school camera....faster to set up shot. More intuitive because of dials. AND that trains the brain, hand, and eyes to see what you need for the shot.
Im about to switch as well! Sony is just WEIRD most of the time, idk. Seems like every picture just has something weird to it a lot of the time to where you have to do so much to make it “interesting”. Colors are either too green, too orange, white balance is always weird. The pictures have no “style” a lot of the time, like you was saying. Fujifilm just has that “look” for amazing, creative photography. And I’ve shot weddings and sports extensively with A7 iii, A7c, and A7r5. The video is top tier though, and sports photography.
Just upgraded from an XT-3 to the XT5 and am more than satisfied. Autofocus improvements and IBIS is enough of a justification alone. I've been able to capture BIF that I would have had no chance of doing with the XT-3. Cropping in at 40 MP is also a game changer. There are the small things as well, like the ability to retain the timer between power offs. The form factor is perfect for the motorcycle travel I do. I am so glad I did not jump on the XT-4 and waited. When I do selfies if place a cheap hdmi monitor on the hot shoe and am good to go. Battery life is amazing. If you are doing Jpeg, the right combination of noise reduction and sharpness make ISO noise kind of a non issue. Noise reduction in post is so good these days that it is not much of an issue. Seperate menus for movie and photo is awesome. There is just so much to like. The biggest impediment to the quality of my captures is my skills and that is something I try to continually improve.
I have a Fujifilm XT-5. And honestly it's the best stills camera I have used. I like it so much I ended up selling my a7iv. Everything from the manual retro design, fantastic color, high res sensor and so much more. It's such a fantastic camera.
I am trying to decide between the A7IV and the XT5, one thing I’m worried about is low light? What are your thoughts after having both?
@@Nutmilk157full frame will always outperform crop sensor in low light
@@tdawg719are you taking pictures in low light all the time 😂
@@donganhnguyen6160 quite often, also pretty much any indoor photo is low light. The guy specifically asked about low light
@@Nutmilk157 I used to have a x-t3. With 6400 ISO, the noise was really acceptable and with only small values of noise reduction in LR I could completely fix it.
I'm generally of the philosophy that full articulating screens are great for big bodies and flip up screens are great for compact bodies. Sometimes I just want quick access to waist-level shooting without doubling the footprint of my camera and also the time to shutter. I've missed genuine moments of my kids because they either suddenly noticed the camera unfurling or I took too long swiveling and fire the shutter.
I wish they'd kept refining the X-T100 screen which can do both
@@problemat1que i agree. One reason why i still keep my XT100...
It is a great camera. I came from XT3 and I’m delighted with it.
I bought an X-T5 about a month ago, to replace a venerable X-T2 and an excellent X-S10. And I have to say, this X-T5 is absolutely fantastic in street photography and outdoors, which are my domains for shooting.
I use the X-T4 & X-Pro3 and I prefer the latter for street. I usually have that big a$$ 16-55mm 2.8 on the X-T4 which is a little bit unwieldy for street photography, and I think the Fujifilm primes fit the X-Pro3 better.
You two never ever disappoint. I’m so glad you guys have continued your work though out the many man years on UA-cam. I trust you guys the most amongst any other creator, alongside with Gordon Laing and The Hybrid Shooter as my top 3 Favorite photography reviewers on UA-cam.
Oh, and I gotta say I love that Jordan scrunched his face during the running AF test. I don’t know if that was intentional to give the face detect a harder challenge, but if it was.. genius implementation to the running test.
And DPReview is gone. They will make videos for PetaPixel now.
@@stevemuzak8526 yeah! I commented on their intro video as well. So relieved they’re continuing the legacy!
Highly agree on this. Please continue
I picked up an XT5 at the beginning of last month, I wanted a more friendly looking style camera that I could carry in my bag everywhere with me. I have a Nikon Z6II with big Z 2.8 zooms and 50mm 1.2. While the Z6II takes better and cleaner photos, I definitely can’t lug that system and lenses around with me all the time. So the XT5 has been awesome, I take it out when I go out with friends, etc, I love it.
Hey do you like your Z6ii? I've been meaning to pick up a full frame system to accompany my Fuji kit
@@bonechimneyI love the Nikon Z6II, the way that the full frame sensor rendors light and depth is amazing. The image quality even at high ISO values is really superb, you can go to relatively high ISO's like 12800 and the images are still clean. When paired with fast 1.8 and 1.2 Nikon primes, it's even better. I'm still amazed at what the images that come out of this camera look like.
The handling and body aren't too far off from the dimensions of the XT5, but I use the Z6II with the grip, so it's a lot bigger, but the body alone is pretty compact.
@@ReclaimedHalo yeah Ive used a lot of Nikon DSLR's I loved so it's good to hear their mirrorless is up to snuff
I bought it and sold it. Then buy back the X-T4. Main reason is Fujifilm has changed the colours in this iteration. Eg. In Provia there is a red tone to it and I really don’t like it. It has lost the Fuji feel . I’m really surprised not many people has mentioned this because it’s really quite obvious. Other reasons are it’s very slow, there’s more noise and the higher resolution doesn’t really make a big difference. It’s like Fujifilm has introduced a new sensor to bring in more income obviously and to show they are evolving. And they will improve it in the coming iterations. But is there really a need for it. I feel the Xt4 is already a very mature system. The MP is just right to give the camera the best balance in terms of speed, noise, and colours. If Fujifilm could give it the same AF as the xt5 it would be perfect. It would be a shame if Fujifilm is discarding this well developed and much liked 26MP sensor in its future systems.
I have to say this - I love that since the last few episodes you started to post the actual resolution of the EVF instead of just the megapixel count.
This has been my main camera. I hate to say it but I love it and think it's a worth upgrade. Great image quality and greatly improved auto focus. I would pair this with the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8. Great combo.
I just got Sigma yesterday. I agree.
What a massive upgrade from my X-T2. It's a fantastic camera and I cant wait to take it backpacking this summer.
is it a massive upgrade indeed?i have xt2 also
Im still using the XT2 and it serves me well, my only complaint is battery life, I have the vertical power grip but more often than not it shows its batteries as being dead (they’re not) so maybe a XT5 or H2 is in my future, but then again my legacy glass may not take full advantage of the 40mp sensor. Still the upgrade will be massive as you’ve mentioned.
I had an X-T3 for four years, still have it as my backup camera. Got the X-T5 on the first day. The larger body, flip-around screen of the X-T4 coupled with its identical sensor to the X-T3 made it a no-brainer to skip. I love the IBIS on my X-T5, it allows me to leave the tripod at home in most cases, and the 40 MP sensor allows me to compose a little wider so I can crop to my heart's content. It's a great camera that handles well, has excellent battery life and will be my photography companion for at least the next four years. Heck, I have an X-T2 that I converted to IR, just love this series.
No way am I criticising, but you do realise that, had you hopped on the x-t4, you'd have had the IBIS that you love for a couple of years now 😎
@@peterjackhandy yes, but I would’ve had a far bulkier camera with a lower resolution and that swing out LCD screen that I have no interest in at all. I knew what I was doing when I skipped the X-T4.
@@fredjkproductions would you still recommend the X-T5? I'm looking to buy one, and the new 56mm 1.2 WR lens for Travel photography. I have a Nikon d5300 from 2013 and its too clunky to carry around everywhere. you said 4 years until you upgrade, is that a long time in between your upgrades? I don't want to buy the camera then it becomes obsolete in a year or two
@@TheStoicPath_ I could have happily going on using the X-T3. However, with the vastly improved battery life and the inclusion of IBIS and a redesign from the X-T4, I cannot imagine that I will have any interest in updating my X-T5 as long as it is in functional condition which should hopefully be very many years. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a camera.
@@MarkRosengarten that’s great to hear, it looks like my ideal camera as well. I’m going to be picking one up. My only concern is it can’t shoot ProRes and I have a MacBook and Final Cut X, not that I’d be wanting to take very much videos but when I do the native support would be nice. Is the difference in quality and editing speed noticeable when shooting ProRes vs Normally?
Absolutely trust and love your reviews. You guys influence my next purchase. What is really nice is you're not sold on brand fandom. Accurate, unbiases, and accurate. Well done to you and the Drake.
I just bounced from a decade-plus of using Nikon to this X-T5 a year ago. I spent a lot of time researching cameras, trying to find one that would get me back to a more "old-school" camera with controls. I lived in Europe in the 90s and was shooting a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000. That was a fun period in my life, shooting photos. I have spent the last year building my selection of lenses. This time around, I am spending the dollars to buy Primes. What a difference between my kit lenses in the '90s and even those I used with my Nikons.
I really love the 33 F1.4. Just picked up the 56 1.2 and the 16-55 2.8. Next month, I am heading out to Arizona for a big ballooning event. I hope to get an opportunity to pull my monster 100-400 out during that trip. I am still learning, but I am loving my X-T5 so far.
As some one who bought an XT-4 in 2021 when I saw the xt5 I knew I was upgrading. For me, the xt4 had a few caveats that didn’t work for me. It seemed like Fujifilm was trying turn a product designed for photography and photography enthusiast specifically and try to mold it with more video capabilities for hybrid shooters/vloggers. It seems like the xt4 did not make a splash in that segment they way it was intended so the xt line is seemingly returning to its roots with the xt5. The xt5 has very thing I wanted that I felt the xt4 was lacking for me like a smaller body, the three way tilt screen, the dials feel smoother imho, and a bigger grip. I am definitely happier with my xt-5 over my xt4.
I just ordered the XT5. It'll be an upgrade from my XT1. I'll still be using the same 18-55 kit lens, but I did order the XT27mm R WR for city walk-around Europe.
I bought one! This is my first digital camera, coming from a film photography background.
Great review! And the upgrade for my X-T1. Thanks Chris and Jordan…..now, if The Camera Store only had it in stock….
Great review, thanks! As a data point, I own an X-T4 for still photography and love it. The slightly larger body size and physical style doesn’t bother me one bit.
You need to shoot video in F-Log2 for those 13+ stops of dynamic range. Don't even think about shooting in low light in any other mode. You can add any color recipe under the sun AFTER you make sure you get as much detail into the sensor as possible. (yes, colors will return in the edit). Baked in colors only work on something like a 5D Mark 3 with Magiclantern which pushes out 14 Bit color at 15 stops of dynamic range and 5.7K anamorphic resolution. The Fuji line up does 13 stops max at 10 bit color and 6.2K resolution.
I think it's time you guys switched to using one of the kids for the run at the camera autofocus test - Jordan looks like he is about to have a heart attack! 🙂
Great job as always.
Great detailed review. I'm still loving the X-T3, maybe the X-T6 will make me feel I need to upgrade.
Unpopular opinion... X-T4 rules!!!
I think the 3-way screen is easier to use but I do like the flip-out screen on my X-T4 for those times when I just want to leave it hiden and have a very vintage-looking camera xD
Still undecided between the X-T5 and the X-H2. I like the mechanical dials though I found the hybrid system on the original H1 the best with the additional display. The significantly better EVF (5.76MPixel vs 3.69 MPixel) and the full sized HDMI Type A port (vs the flimsy and always failing Type D Micro-HDMI connector on the X-T5) both make me question whether the X-T5 is the best choice here just because I like the dials. Price difference isn't too bit either. Including taxes and all it's ~12.5% difference or ~250€. I guess my next camera will be the H2 then ...
Do you recommend it over X-S20?
I was all excited to buy this camera until I found out that this is the first XT camera where Fuji took away the option for a battery grip. I know the batteries on this camera last a long time, but honestly for me with large hands and for shooting vertical portrait shots, the grip makes all the difference in the world. Ended up getting the XH2 for only $150 more which included the FREE $400 battery grip. Very happy.
This body looks like a hit.
Glad to read about the improvements in this body. That being said, I wont upgrade. I waiting for the upgraded XPRO4 or X100VI with the new sensor and IBIS. You have not made the argument that this body is so superior to what I already own I need to upgrade my kit.
I appreciate the review. My there are a lot of Fuji fans on this review.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
But I like my XT-4, my go to for street photography…I checked the XT-5 and I think the body is too small..I would want to accessorize it for better handling
I have a question: I record lengthy nature scenes (birds, squirrels and wildlife ) and need a camera that will record continuously for several hours. I currently use the Sony A6400 which will record for 10 hours straight on a 256GB Card and on A/C power. I would prefer to use my Fujifilm XT2 with unlimited A/C power via the battery grip, as it’s got much better quality but the video time limits make it impractical to press record every 30 minutes.
I’ve heard that the XT5 has no video recording time limits (until battery exhausts or memory card fills up) but has no power grip to plug in a/c power.
Can the xt5 connect to A/C power, enabling several continuous hours of recording footage? If not, can you recommend a camera (preferably from the fujifilm family) that can?
Thank you.
7 months later love it 😮..brilliant camera-
I'm using the "Movie silent control" on my X-T3, with only the touchscreen for video and the classic dials for photo, which I love. This makes the interface perfect for a hybrid camera IMO. I hope the X-T5 retains this ability to separate between a touch-screen interface for all things video and the classic dials for photo. Yet due to the inherent limitations of the 40 MP sensor for video and because I have a complete Sony kit for higher resolution without having to worry about lenses I'll skip the X-T5.
I personally couldn't care about the bump in megapixels.... 26mp is enough for me. I don't need or want all that data. However the rest of the upgrades from the XT3 are excellent.
Punch in focus is soft? Why not use peaking in the test too?
Speaking of subsambled/oversampled, is there a DP Review database of this for all cameras? Well, I'm specifically looking for data about Lumix cameras.
Just got one! I hope it doesn't disappoint!
I'm still very happy with my XT2, 18-135mm lens i know it in and out and to me the lens can shoot exceptionally sharp...ive shot Nature, street and portrait
I switched from X-T3 to 5 and I’m very happy. I switched for the IBIS mainly and it’s working out just as good as I hoped. I have a question for other X-T5 owners though, when you take photos while aiming the camera downwards, does the shutter sound different than when you shoot straight forward? It does on both of mine and I can’t remember having that experience with other cameras in the past.
how do you compare the xt3 autofocus vs the xt5? is it worthy upgrade?
@@NatsuDragneel-qj8qy I’m not really the best person to ask because I never had high requirements for autofocus. I have been using the bird and animal detection a bit though and it seems okay I guess. I do t know how it works with other brands, but it feels a bit spastic or jittery. I’m talking about the tracking boxes. They jump around between birds if there are more than one of them and sometimes they jump to parts of the frame where there are no birds at all.
I don’t know if this is different for other brands but it feels like the bird/animal detection is only used to move the focusing square, it’s not able to detect whether the bird is actually in focus or not. Like if you have bird detection turned off and you move the focusing square over a birds head, the box might be a bit bigger than the birds head and the camera might focus on the background. It feels kinda the same with the bird detection sometimes, it’s only a tool to move the focusing box/square. I don’t know if that is true, it just feels like it.
Don’t know if that was helpful or even understandable, but that’s how I feel about it. Seems better than the xt3, but not amazing.
I've noticed the shutter sound different when holding the camera horizontal vs vertical. Not sure if it is just because of its orientation in regards to my ears, but I have noticed it.
@@just_eirik are you still liking the X-T5? I was thinking of picking one up for Backpacking and travel
I came to watch this review to compare with the just released sony a6700. Thanks for pointing out all the flaws so we can make a fair comparisson. Due the a6700 having better video capabilities, lower price point, better noise sensitivity, better autofocus, smarter autofocus, focus bracketing, bigger RAW shots buffer and improved stability, I can say that the a6700 seems as a better choice if you don't care about the 40mp and you care more about wildlife, macro, video and portraits.
I have had my Fuji film XT5 now for about three weeks. It has exceeded my expectations beyond anything I would've ever expected out of an APC Cameron incredible low light performance at 40 megapixels blows my mind how good this is..... I was sceptical coming from full frame, Nikon cameras, which I swear by still ... If you want to camera that is incredibly good takes great images and is fairly easy to use and Fuji film also have so many affordable lenses. Then this system will bring back peoples questioning of full frame versus APC. This camera performs very close to full frame levels in terms of what it can do.... So do you want to be spending $3000 on full frame lenses or do you want to pick up this camera and get great lenses for $500 and take photos that I just is good. I know which one I went and if you're smart, you'll come to the same decision Ethan can you take Monty for a walk?
We need an xt5s
Orvis and flyfishing rocks !!! Thanks for review.
It's a shame they didn't include the fully articulating screen. I pretty much only shoot photos and I'm endlessly wishing I had a fully articulating screen for vertical orientation shots (or for ceiling architecture shots). I won't buy another body without one.
You can tilt the screen even in vertical and it is faster than flip out and 180degree. I don't mind either personally.
@@alexdubois6585 Didn't know it was dual tilt, I'd consider it then.
I am considering to buy this instead of X-T4. Any suggestions.? (I'm not a professional photographer, I take pictures for fun and my last camera was Fujifilm HS20)
With xt sensor I guess you don't even need the zoom, you're getting hig res pic, you can crop it to some degree.
I have the XT3 since launch and it’s way more than enough for me. XT5 is cool and all but I don’t feel the sudden urge to trade and spend $1800 to do so.
The new Nikon ZF is totally gonna hurt the sales of Fuji crop cameras, I'll guarantee it. If you don't go FF Fuji you'll eventually go the way of Pentax. And this is coming from a proud Fuji user.
Have both myself, glad I bought X-t5 ( have lot of xf lenses), it’s always nice to have a good crop body (wildlife, landscape) and this one is the best !
Any chance you're going to do a full review of the X-H2? I know a lot of the things are similar to this one but it would be great to see that video as well. Thanks!
Great review as usual❤
Would you recommend the xt5 & 27mm f2.8 wr or the new x100vi for allaround use?
I believe with the digital teleconverter on these cameras I will be covered 😊
I bought mine to replace my XT3 and I couldn’t be happier. It is a wonderful camera. I shoot primarily stills, and shoot headshots and portraits for a living. The XT5 is amazing for my needs.
I'm surprised to see Chris not showing any despise towards the 35mm lens here ;D
In Australia the XH2 has consistently been far cheaper than the XT5 --- mine was a touch over US$1350 during black friday sales.
Never thought I would say this but I do miss the flippy screen.
I own the X-T4 with the foldie screen, but it is the flippy is where I miss the handling options.
I owned and sold the X100v has it turns out I'm a longer lens type of guy but it was the screen I really enjoyed.
Oh well, looks like I will have to start saving my pocket money again.
Now this is what you call review unlike that Matt granger aka the Nikon guy.
Manual focus bug? Focus peaking no longer gives a clear viewfinder image when the shutter is half pressed (as it does with X-T2, X-T3 and X-T4). After spending £1700 on this camera I'm seriously disappointed not to be able to see a clear image when focusing manually.
It’s a great camera for street and landscape and portraits photography because of IBIS 40 mp sensor and the tilting screen. For video it is still way more capable than most mirrorless cameras in 2019. Ideally if someone is a true hybrid shooter should get this and the X-H2S or just the X-H2.
I think that's what Fuji was thinking. But oh what about those of us that want a single top hybrid camera without a SPASTIC dial (or whatever it's called).
@@Paul_Rohde I always thought Fuji should’ve made a X-T5S too.
@@snowwalker9999 Maybe (but I don't think I want to spend that much on a body ie stacked sensor cost). It's just that they've seem to have crippled the video from the X-H2 to the X-T5 when there shouldn't be a need to, not to mention the EVF as well.
@@Paul_Rohde in think that was intentional. They want to make sure all their models sell. But I don’t think there was any need to cripple the video I’m X-T5 or the EVF. The only worthy upgrade is the megapixels.
@@snowwalker9999 ... and the AF engine, hopefully with an update soon too.
I like the user-interface design of the X-T4 more than the X-T5 and the X-H2 /X-H2s. I Like all the knob on the X-T5 similar to the X-T4 but I miss the fully articulating flip-screen from the X-T4. I miss all the knobs from on the X-T4 on the X-H2 / X-H2s but like the fully articulating flip-screen similar to X-T4. So in my opinion Fuji need to make a new successor to the X-T4 with knobs from X-T5 and X-T4, a fully articulating flip-screen with all the features from the X-H2s.
Thanks guys for your review. I’m curious, however, about your comments about the punch-in magnification in MF mode not performing well. Is this a different result from the X-H2 or X-T4?
Does the X-H2 also have a blurry manual focus punch-in, or is that issue unique to the X-T5?
It seems a constant among all Fooj cameras with this feature. I owned the X-T3, and focusing was a matter of deciding on the least glaringly blurry rendition of the scene in the EVF or ob the LCD.
Not the H2... has a much better EVF
@@tjkrueger2655 I believe the issue is that the punch in picture is a blown up image of low resolution (ie what is already rasterised on screen but blown up), rather than an issue to do with the screen or EVF resolution which is otherwise fine as in all other operations.
@@Paul_Rohde Others have compared it with the H2, punched in, and noted the big improvement. Plus it has a better refresh rate
I was a huge fan of Fuji film colors in the 90s but I feel like they couldn't keep up with the competition, prioritizing the pro GF system was a mistake imho.
I will stay at my XT1 and get a Hasselblad x1d for the colors
"Forget about the X-T4"? I kinda like my mine. X-)
There's GSMArena for phone and of course DPReview TV for camera 😍
Do people really watch phone reviews? They're all the same anyway.
I'm a bit more budget and am looking at the x-s10. Is that still a good option for me at it's price range? Thanks
As an XT4 shooter I feel personality attacked
Would you recommend for Woodland photography?
I regret going down the Sony APSC route - At least Fuji are making new bodies and exploring new tech. Sony seem to only care about APSC social media video types, not photographers.
Why are you or any reviews not talking about the "Low" ISO settings. ISOL. Down to 64.
I wished X-T5 had the high resolution LCD/EVF of X-H2! my old eyes would have appreciated it more. -:)
We need a running Jordan compilation.
Thumbs up for the running man and his facial expressions in every picture 😂😂
great video!
XH-2 final review coming soon?
Cool to have IBIS. But why did Fuji remove the metering dial?
Yup. Same setup as XT4
Would love one but struggling to justify the expense between my old digital SLR and this. And then there’s my iPhone 15 Pro, which I wish took worse pics so I can rationalize the expense of an X-T5 😂
6:50 that puppet! LOL 😂
Jordan running montage?
Pentax!
Does A7RV have manual dials ?
G95 or XT-5 just curious
Dang, I still use the Canon 5D mark 1. Things have come a long way. But then again, my main camera is a Canon AE-1. Using this might feel like stepping out of my Honda van and into a Ferrari. I might crash it!
So better get a Sony or a Canon FF following your comments, same price and better performance. Thks.
I thought X-T4 is a better camera as an all-around camera that deals with both picture and video.
"The advantages of the X-T5 for photographers don't really translate for video shooters."
That's not a bug, that's a feature.
If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera.
What is readout speed on h2??
Same as X-T5, since they share the same sensor.
hello Jordan, I am from India, can I buy Panasonic AG - CX *ED 4k video camera, it is suggested to me, by my friend, help us
Fuji First
That high iso performance is really terrible in my opinion. I'd rather pick a xh2s or xt4.
I'm confused between xh2, xh2s & xt5 🥺
I have a GAS for the X-H2S sensor. All I want is X-T5S! Please ow please Fuji make it happen😂
i agree this is not usable video content. Really. May look nice but are really not the future (ps. has never been ds)
A singe sharp image is not the same as the organic feeling of 60fps at a 60fps screen for example. (No Sony does it wrong).
I am really torned. I have a6300 and I am still waiting for Sony to release a decent hybrid aps-c camera and my gut tells me it should come this year, if release schedule of previous a6xxx series is any indicator, but if there will be no new aps-c camera I am switching to fuji(most likely H2). It looks like that they are really putting attention to their camera line.
Fuji Cameras are so much better than Sony's offerings in Apsc line up , it competes with Full frame cameras from Canon and Sony .
Autofocus on your a6300 is still better than what's offered on the xt5. Sony is still the king of mirrorless, they have great lenses and if you make the jump to full frame, your options are endless.
Let's wait a bit. Sony will be releasing a couple of cameras this year and "rumors" (take with a grain of salt) is saying that it might be an apsc model. Me I'm waiting for a small full frame (a7cii) for a travel photog cam to upgrade from a6500.
@@nwmi23 completely wrong , Fuji X-H2 is even better than Sony A74 , if you talk about autofocus Canon is the King , Canon R6 II autofocus is so much better than Sony . New Fuji Cameras all have great autofocus just not as good as Canon and Sony. Autofocus not the only thing important , does any other camera brand produce the beautiful colors and skin tone fuji produce? NO , Every brand has pros and cons. Fuji Apsc cameras are miles better than Sony Apsc line up , people are ready to pay 2000 USD for a fuji Apsc Cameras , are you ready to spend 2000 USD for a sony A6400 Mark ii?
People have been rumoring and hoping against hope for a semi-professional Sony APS-C camera (wishfully called a7000) for many years now and year after year they've been disappointed. In addition, the native APS-C lens system is lacking and saved only by third party options, which are all available in Fujifilm X mount as well, in addition to the excellent native XF lenses. It looks like Sony is treating their APS-C line the same as Canon and Nikon, as a stepping stone to their more lucrative 35mm sensor size products. Fujifilm doesn't have that conflict of interest, which is why as a customer you can get their best for your APS-C camera, they don't try to upsell you to get more of your money.
The problem of this 40M sensor is that it requires sharp lenses.
Just an FYI, not all fuji lenses will work well on this camera. Having said that, these are the lenses that is recommended by Fuji that will fully take advantage of the 40MP this camera has:
Fujinon XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR
Fujinon XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 R WR
Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR
Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 35mm f/2 R WR
Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0 R WR
Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR
Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR
Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS Macro
Fujinon XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR
Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR
Fujinon XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR
Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR
Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR
Fujinon XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS W
I'm afraid your interpretation or wording gives the wrong message. The lenses not on that list will perform well just as they do on older bodies. If you want the maximum output of the 40 mp sensor (where the sensor is the limiting factor for resolution) then those lenses on the list are optimal. In fact all the lenses will benefit, and if anybody has lenses not on that list there is no need to worry about using them on the new generation sensor, it will be all fine as it was before! Also keep in mind that the bump in resolution is about 24% on the X and Y axis each. It's not double.
All lenses work but the ones not on this list are generally softer than on 26mp sensors
@@Paul_Rohde Not 40%?
@@RoderickJMacdonald From the XT-3/4 sensor the difference is 1.238x on each axis. I count that as 24% extra over 100%. Is my expression wrong? Percentage expression isn't my strong point!
@@Paul_Rohde You are right, I am wrong. Genius here was calculating from 20 megapixel sensors.
@4:40 I would pay at least a nickel to know what the person on top of the walkway was thinking while watching Jordan
Wow, that guy used to have it all figured out... but since he ditched the bespoke wrist strap, I'm not so sure anymore. ;-) (just kidding,,,) Nice review.

3:22 Guys, you REALLY did hold too much camera gear in your hands in your life 😂
Next time I’m sure we will see a full setup with at least 10 cameras, and a similar style to the lens cleaning video 😉
