  • In this review of the Fujifilm X-T5 I compare it to the X-H2 and X-H2s and prove that for many, this really will be the best option for photographers.

    Picking up my X-T5 on Monday. Part exchanging my X-H2. I loved the X-H2 but coming from the X-T4 I really missed the dials. Wish I’d seen this video before I ordered the X-H2 as I am definitely photography first. Glad I found this video though as it’s reinforced my decision to swap. This video should have been Fujifilm promo video for the X-T5! Extremely well put together and has the information front and centre that prospective buyers need. Well done 👍🏻😎

    Literally what I’ve wanted for a long time from Fuji. I owned the XT3 a few years back and it ticked the boxes for me with camera ergot’s, controls and that sensor(and the Fuji colours SOOC). The XT4 came and gave us the IBIS but snatched away the XT3’s better tilt screen. The XT5 is the marriage of the XT3/4 and then some.

    Thank you for putting together a wonderful post. Excellent lighting, sound and story, your post is the best crafted one I've seen. I'm a London street photographer and I need to crop. I bought my X-T1 and grip in February 2014, followed by seven primes and two red badge telephotos. Then I added an X100V, where my picture taking went through the roof! I need to crop, I passed on the 2, 3 and 4. After waiting nearly 10 years, my silver T5 order is in. I bought an H1, grip and three batteries during the price drop - why wouldn't you. It was a steal. You keep posting and I'll keep looking.

    I've only had my X-T5 for about 3 weeks, and I'm absolutely loving it. I've been shooting with the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 and the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4, but I'm seriously impressed with what you've made with the old 56mm APD! My copy is the non-APD version, but I should try putting it on my new body and see what comes out!

    So true story, I had bought the Nikon Z5 to hopefully make photography a paid hobby. I returned it because the lens selection are expensive.
    I was about to get a A6600 but read on Reddit a lot of users made the switch to Fuji and no regrets. Users who had a A7iii and a A6600.
    After watching a few Fuji CZcams videos, I think I will give this company a try. Thanks for sharing this great content.

    Thank you for this video on the XT5. I love my Fuji cameras. I bought my first, the XT1 in 2014 and grown from there. I have an XT2, and last year, bought the XT4, which I love. Though not so hot on the articulating screen. I've been looking at videos reviewing the XH2 and S. They both look incredible. And I like the idea of the faster memory card. But the lack of dials and photography user friendlyness has been a sticking point for me. You video has just cleared up my decision on my next camera. Though not just yet. I'm still just warming up with my XT4. J :-)

  • @FrankKlawuhn
    @FrankKlawuhn Před rokem +2

    I loved your production style in this video. Great music selection and timing. I watched your 3 Astro photography videos from 2 years ago (again) and wondered, how you are doing. And I watched a dozent of X-T5 videos recently, since I really thought about upgrading from X-T4 to X-T5. You reminded me, why I switched from Nikon to Fuji in the first place and what I dislike on my X-T4. And you convinced me to really get a prime lense. Right now I have a 18-135 and a 100-400 for Landscape. And I guess, I "have to" upgrade to a X-T5 😉
    So thank you for this video and I did, what I should have done a year ago, I subscribed 😉

    Awesome review. Love how you brought the feeling of shooting into the mix. Today everything is about getting the sharpest picture, the fastest way so that you can just keep taking more of them. Slowing down and enjoying the art of photography is so easy with Fujifilm. Photography should evoke a feeling when you see an image. It takes time to create that. For me, slowing down, has helped me see all the aspects of a photograph before I even put the camera up to my eye. Light, color, composition and mood. I loved your video.

    I actually sold my X-T4 last week because I had to. My first thought was I’m getting a new camera no matter what. It’s either going to be the rumored (now officially announced) X-T5, or the X-H2 if the rumors were false. Looks like I know what I’m getting, and this time in silver.

    I'm looking forward to trying out the X-T5 in person. The shallow grip (coming from the X-S10) is probably the only thing making me hesitate. I can use my 70-300 for hours on my X-S10. Hopefully the X-T5's improved grip is better than the X-T4's, which I couldn't stand. Love the new camera!

    Very nice, concise review. I share your sentiments regarding the Fuji X series handling and rendering of images after buying a X-T4 and few years ago and shooting everything with a 35mm f2 lens. The X-T4 completely reignited my love of simply getting out there and shooting with a small, lightweight camera that emulates the handling of a 35mm ...compared to my previous and somewhat clinical 'brick' of a camera from another leading brand! I just wish I'd made the change years before. While the improved sensor of the X-T5 is very appealing, the revised screen design and supposed AF improvements will be a deal breaker when funds allow.

    I owned both xt1 from new as I was so bored with my Canon outfit, coming form a Pro Lab background I instantly fell in love all over again with photography after a long stint sitting in the shadows. I then picked up the xt2 shortly after but stuck with that for many years as its been good enough for my 'in camera' training of the good old days of the 1990's in a darkroom environment. Think I'll jump to the xt4 as I have always purchased a vertical / power Grip with all my pro gear.
    Anyway I get EXACTLY what you are saying, it's why I'll never go back to ANY other camera system and that says alot being a MASSIVE Canon man in the day, however now that Canon has bought eye control back that is very tempting as I owned the EOS 3 in 1999 and loved it especially for Wedding work

      The same info still applies to the xt5 but I’d rank the 8-16 at the top of the list.

    …but you forgot to mention that the XH2 has an amazing EVF in comparison to the XT5! Fuji, why oh why did you not use the larger EVF on the XT5? This addition would have made the XT5 the BEST camera ever! Btw nice video. I’m thinking about this body/lens combo as well. Just still not sure about which body, based on that damn EVF issue! 😂

    The absence of a vertical battery grip is a deal-breaker - especially with the bigger, heavier lenses from the brilliant 8-16mm ultra wide angle to the new 150-600 mm telephoto zoom. What a pity they didn't include a vertical battery grip as an optional extra. The XT-4 also looks a little more "handsome"!

    • @LyndonPatrickSmith

      I’m still interested in this camera, but mainly shoot with the 2.8 zooms so I hear you talking. They are clearly targeting this model for primes and small zooms, like an “SLR-style” X-Pro or X-E. I guess Fuji is trying to more clearly define their product lines.

    I guess my main problem is I'm new enough to not know exactly what it is I like to do. I mainly do photography, but maybe I might discover a desire to do video work. Just as initially I did landscapes but now I mostly do street photography, which radically changed what lenses I was using. I'm afraid of a similar thing, one day discovering I really enjoy making videos but I didn't spend that extra $300.

    • @ThomasBusbyPhotography
      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před rokem +2

      In that case I think the answer is very easy, as both do all the photo or video quality you’ll practically need for years to come, get the one that feels best for its price, image quality and features aren’t worth comparing between those two as they are pretty much exactly the same for what you’ll ever do with it

    I like where Fuji are heading but really all three cameras they have released this year are not enticing enough for me to lose funds in transitioning up from the XT4.
    XH2S, a definite bump in processing power yet I will be left with exactly the same IQ from an image as the XT4.
    XH2, a definite bump in IQ, but not having that stacked sensor is a bit of a shame and losing out on a lot on the confidence side of the tech.
    XT5, a definite bump in IQ but even more nerfed than the XH2 and in some ways more niche (the lack of articulating screen makes it hard to be my primary 'do it all' hybrid camera.
    If i had the funds then I would choose an XH2S and a XT5 for back up, but my pockets are not that deep.
    I think I will wait for 2024 where hopefully then they can bring out an XH3 that is a stacked 40mp sensor and away we go!

    • @ThomasBusbyPhotography
      @ThomasBusbyPhotography  Před rokem +1

      I can understand all those points if your budget doesn’t suit, I think if you do a lot of video or sport the xh2s is amazing…but with its price tag. But as you’ve said, all 3 cameras don’t make the xt4 a bad camera.

    Terrific review and beautiful images - thank you for that! I appreciate the technical aspects you covered, but even more your philosophical reasons to engage with this particular camera. As someone not particularly familiar with the Fuji system, I have a question: when you say your shots were straight out of camera, does that mean you were shooting jpeg? And if so, I hear a lot about Fuji's film simulation - were you using one (or multiple) of their film simulation modes? Keep up the good work - you've got a new subscriber!

    Awesome editing there!
    I just got my hands on an XT5 and it looks great with the retro design and dials. That being said, I managed to get a feel of the XH2 in the store and it felt much more comfortable and better to grip - more natural in my hands.
    I’m new to Fuji and photography so I don’t know if dials or PASM will be better for me as as a beginner to learning photography. I do understand why still focused shooters would prefer the tilt screen, but I also feel that the articulating screen is more versatile and being able to rotate it inwards to protect the screen when not in use is a bonus.
    If you have the chance to trade the XT5 for the XH2 without topping up any cash, would you do it? (Someone I’m talking to is looking to trade his XH2 for XT5)

    Well, well, well! 🤔 over the past (3) weeks, I’ve been knocking my head about switching my “Photography” camera from SONY’s A7RIV to try the Fuji!!! Agh!!!! Watched many videos (not convincing) debating between X~H2 and 2S… Your video now takes me in a totally different direction! XT5. When I started my photography days 1980 with my Pentax K1000… and now A6RIV, your video rang the bell 🛎️ I never asked myself. I love Photography more than video (for that I have the A7Siii) tough to beat. Love photography, but SONY menus suck… cumbersome digital experience, miss the simplicity if K1000 . XT5 could be the answer??? I assume there are the Fuji film simulations available. My concern… if I get (3) lenses which ones to get(?) as I’m scared of APSC (visually gauging ). I want to have fun again shooting photography. Thoughts ? I just subscribed as I think tomorrow I’ll get the XT5. BTW… how is the weather sealing? Really? Light rain, snow, fog ? Thanks for popping up on CZcams. I started my CZcams channel this year “My Retired Life In Japan”. So I’m trying to do more with camera moving forward and explore Japan. Just passed my driving test.

      10mm is such a very unique look and 24mm stitched together for Panoramas looks awesome as well.
      Then add the extra IS for video and it makes it my favourite.

    another cracker video thanks ! good simple explainer and well described differences..
    I'm loving the XT4 for now so the XT5 isn't really on my radar but maybe the XT6 or the XT7 (2025?) with 1028 MP and BSI sensor in a few years might be great.. I mainly use it for video, and the XT4 is a BEAST for that so I'm happy for now.. I'm a hybrid guy, started in photography and have moved into video but I'm bi-photo sexual so I go both ways in video and photography. I guess this is why the XT4 is a great camera. I use the Sony FX3 and FX9 in my studio, and they rock, but the XT4 still holds its own spot in terms of price point and capability.
