The Fujifilm X-T5 is not a perfect camera. Far from it. But in some ways, that's what makes this so unique and likable. Learn more about it in this video.
I really like the grip on the xt5.
The camera handles better for a 65 year old, and the weight is so much better. I can carry it about better than my old canon.
The whole dynamics of the XT range I find more pleasing than with my canon range.
I sold my Xt-3 and lenses several years ago to enable me to purchase full frame Nikon mirrorless gear for low light performances. I also purchased some cropped sensor Nikon gear for travel, but I became disappointed with Nikon putting most of their eggs in the full frame basket. I just traded in my cropped sensor mirrorless gear for an XT-5 with the 16-80 f/4 kit, and I couldn't be happier. My full frame Nikon gear is my workhorse system, and my XT-5 is my fun walk-around and vacation package. I have noticed some significant upgrades on the XT-5 from the XT-3.
Recycling the old EVF is such a deal breaker on this camera it hurts
Why? It's great!
As an X-T4 shooter for the last 3+ years, I’ve never been left wanting with the viewfinder.
The biggest thing that bugged me about the X-T5 was the lack of the grip. While I'm not concerned about the battery aspect as much since it's so much more improved than the X-T3 (which I used with the grip), I just liked having a bit deeper handle on it. I ended up getting the official X-T5 hand grip and it's helped offset that. The Arca Swiss plate on the bottom is a bonus if you've got a tripod to use it on. It would be nice to be able to load up three of the high-end batteries and just shoot for a whole weekend, but for what I do I'm fine just carrying a second battery in my bag and swapping it when it becomes necessary. I've been super impressed with the new battery and it's not yet run out on me mid-shoot.
Yeah, I had the "non-battery" grips with my X-T2 and 3 but I find it not as necessary with the X-T5. But still a shame they got rid of the battery grip.
Agree, in that a lack of a battery grip option for the XT-5 is unfortunate. This is the 1st camera in the XT lineup that does NOT offer this feature. Having the battery grip is so nice to have when shooting the camera in the “portrait” orientation. Both of my XT-3 cameras are used with the battery grips. I find they are essential for my photography needs.
Coming from X-T3's, I upgraded to the X-H2 and the X-T5 ...... Its my "Nikon F3 & FM2 or Canon F1n &T90" combo! :-) .. new subscriber, excellent video.
I agree strongly with all your comments about potential improvements. Fujifilm, please take note!
For the people who want to complete a unique Fujifilm experience with X-T5, what versatile lens should one buy to use the full capabilities of xt5?
Like Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR
Initially I was put off by the lack of a battery grip. That was important when I was shooting a lot of sports with DSLRs, but I'm not doing that anymore. I bought the Fujifilm grips and like that they have Arca dovetails. I do still get into shooting situations where I need two bodies and so I traded a GFX50S II and an X-T4 for a pair of X-T5s and two more red badge lenses -- they are set up identically and the only difference is the color of the neck strap and little "A" and "B" labels on the bodies. I appreciated the IBIS in the X-T4 but I thought the LCD was just silly. For photography I think the LCD should be physically attached on the same axis as the lens.
Thank you. First review description I've seen that clearly identifies the screen differences between the XH2 and XT5, to determine which camera is best for my photo / video goals.
On the XT5 does the skin smoothing mode under the dynamic range on the first page of the menu work in video or just on stills? It seems like that could speed up a wedding workflow.
Great video and very happy you post videos again from time to time :)
After testing it, would you consider upgrading now from the XT3 to XT5? Would you use it more personal stuff or could the XT5 also replace your professional setup?
Thanks, the X-T3 definitely still has some life left in it but if you have a budget for it, I think it's worth the upgrade. It's good enough for any professional use but for any sports or action, I'd go for the X-H2S.
The question is: should I stay or should I go with my O-M1?
Thanks. Nice review. Can it shoot Vlog2 internally?
Please Canon R8 review..
Probably coming next month
what are working ISO on x-t5?
I didn't like the X T4 flippy screen. Going to X T5. Fujifilm has gotten so so good.
Nice camera👍👍
This review is spot on! 👌
Yeah...i think I'll be staying away and going for an R5 instead with its IBIS FF 45Mpix.
I have X-S10 for over 1 year and bought a X-T5 recently, holding these 2 cameras, X-T5 feels cheap made lol
The lack of a battery grip is a deal breaker on the XT5, sorry. The beauty of the XT3 was that, if you wanted, you could slap a grip on it, a red badge lens, and a flash/trigger, and shoot professionally with professional results. Then you could rip all that off, slap a little prime / 18-55mm on it, and have a sweet and relatively portable travel-friendly camera with serious chops to play with wherever you went. That's what I call "photocentric". Sure, I can still use a red badge or other large lens with a real on-camera flash on my XT3, but at that point the camera balance and handling is a chore (hence the grip).
Thedecision to demote the XT5 to "midrange", cripple the buffer, etc. was a mistake, especially given the still high price of $1,700, and existence of the XT30 and XS10, for example. In protest I'm skipping this generation entirely. "Photocentric" IMO, the XT5 is not.
I'm sure I'd like one of the XH series cameras, but why force me into spending a lot more money just so I can have a decent grip for photography?
Is a deal breaker... for you
Regular 4k on the xt5 has no crop.
just 1.14x. HQ 4K is 1.23x.
@@HyunRalphJeongis the quality of the regular 4k good enough compared to the cropped 4k hq? There aren't enough video reviews out there talking about it :(
@@cornlourd The regular 4K is very good. The HQ 4K is a downsampled version of the 6K so it looks closer to the 6K than 4K. But the regular 4K is still a lot sharper than 1080.
great this will suffice for anamorphic photos
It's asinine to say that a less than perfect camera is desirable.
Some cameras do indeed come at least 95% close to perfect, and those are the most desirable cameras.
