Larger battery, smaller body, flip screen, high res sensor, upgraded autofocus. I still have my xt2 and couldn't be bothered with the xt3 or 4. THIS is what I've been waiting for.
I got xt2 too. All what I'm missing is ibis like in my m43 Olympus. I'm hoping that second hand xt4 prices will go down soon under £1000 so I can afford one. No way I'll be able to cough up £1700 for xt5.

THANK YOU. I've been so tired of seeing most camera reviews lean toward video features for so long, as someone who barely uses the video features, it's nice to see a camera and review that's about photography. I get that most of the reviewers are youtubers who are video photographers, but still. Battery grip? Don't need one as someone who takes stills, I can take the time to change batteries when need be, it's not a problem. Might at some point upgrade my X-T3 for this. I think the way Fuji does the tilty flippy thing on these is perfect. As someone who is relatively short, I use the tilting screen often when I do over the head shots, when I need to see the shot and can't reach the viewfinder.
You can still have a battery grip if somebody makes it, it's just a simple BMS and some batteries, if you plug it into the battery main the camera doesn't even have to know what it's connected. The different screen hinge is nice, lots of people prefer the tilting screen, but Sony A7RV screen offers the best of both worlds, let's hope it becomes more popular. Nice to be able to choose between 2 different cameras with the same sensor but with this small but important differences in terms of usability
@@bchia I'm talking about the battery so you can extend it and also to have a bigger grip for big lens. Grip controls can't be implemented unless Fuji decided to put some pins inside the battery compartement, which I don't know
@@ALIENdrifter66 I assumed that’s what you meant though I wouldn’t really consider it a battery “grip” without the controls. With a big lens you’d support the lens with the one hand and the other will need to press the shutter button, so the dummy portrait grip isn’t very useful unless you set a delay timer. But yeah there’s no reason a 3rd party manufacturer couldn’t make an extended battery pack if you just want more battery capacity.
Fuji should have given it a new name besides XT5. The name suggests a hybrid camera, when its clear that the XT5 is a photographer's camera that happens to do video. Which is not what the XT4 was. They might make photographers happy, but, they cheat those who were hoping for new video features. Strange choice, either way.
The screen also has a button on the left side to allow it to flip 45 degrees up when shooting in vertical orientation with an L bracket - just like the X-T2 and X-T3!
XT2 & XH1 owner here. I do use battery grips, but not a deal killer. However they have saved me in one type of situation that doesn't involve camera usage. Some airports are strict with the number of loose batteries one can have. I've witnessed situations where airport security made people discard extra batteries not installed in a component. On one of my trips I met another XT2 user. Both of us had 6 batteries. I had a battery grip, he didn't. Security made him toss three of his batteries as each device was only allowed two loose spares. My grip counted as a component and my 6 batteries weren't questioned. Since that time any time I travel, I'll carry my battery grip even if I don't intend to use it.
This occurred at Auckland, New Zealand. But in my travels to I've seen or endured battery inspections at Amsterdam/Schiphol, Philadelphia/Philadelphia International, Honolulu/Inouye, and most recently Seoul/ Incheon.
Finally. Been waiting for the right camera to upgrade to since the X-T2. The 3 had that impossible-to-use rear dial. The 4 had the awkward screen. The H line has the SPAM dial. The Pro line got a weird screen and too much expense in the optical vf. The E line has like 2 buttons and dials on the body. Finally. Finally.
I still remember when I got my XT-4 in a (almost) perfect condition with the 16-80 f.4 for only 1.000€ back when it came out. The pre-owner thought there was a dead pixel on the sensor and thought it's not worth any more money, in fact it was a dead pixel on the screen.
What I like about the articulating (flip out screen) is you can fold it in and your display is protected. I had Canon before I got tired of their lack of MORE inexpensive 3rd party lenses and went to Fuji. I have a screen protector on my X-T3, but I still worry about scratches on it. ^_^
Not much of an upgrade from the XT-4. Remember, you have to upgrade your storage too! 40mp is BIG. Definitely not necessary too. Awesome upgrade is your coming from the XT2 or 3
I’ve never had an issue with the tilting screen, as a matter of fact, if you’re gonna be the camera operator and not vlogging, it’s better than a flippy screen in my eyes
The camera is not deep learning while using it, because there is no automatic way with new photos taken to reward or punish the neural net for it. Maybe if you could afterwards give it feedback(infocus/oof), but this is probably too complicated for the end user and likely to harm performance if done incorrectly. They trained a neural net with the method called ´deep learning´. The neural net, after itˋs trained for all different modes acording to the needed subjects, will aquire focus like it‘s an algorithm for each specific mode, but probably a lot quicker and less prone to error. That’s very simplified. The camera looks good, i probably will sell my x-h1 kit, which is somewhat disappointing in the focus department and get the x-t5.
Am I the only one who would like a X-t5 but with the fully articulated screen...??? You will tell me X-H2... but I want it small and silver too! I currently have an X-S10 but I can't stand the weak battery anymore. With the X-S10 I'm constantly swaping batteries... I hate this.
I need caamera that gets a kazillion shots on one charge... and the autofocus has to be able to capture beams of uv light while maintaining 100 frames per second.....and be able to go under water to 100 feet...
I still use the xt1 today, but i think i will upgrade to the xt5. But still, the xt1 holds up great, no one ever had a complain about my image quality.
What Fuji instax printer can I connect to the camera when printing JPEGs for people? My Fuji SP2 printer has been discontinued and I want to print from the camera not from a smart phone.
some reader at dpreview questioned the quality of the black paint on the top of the camera, around the dials and such. they felt it looked "cheaply" done for some reason. do you still have the camera? any thoughts on the black paint on the top of the camera? qualitywise?
The xt100 which was a failure of a camera had a flip out screen that also could tilt which has allowed me to take photos at interesting angles without contorting my body. I wonder why they didn't put that kind of screen on this camera?
The Fuji is plenty fast enough especially for the price of the lenses and body. Also the Fuji is more pixel dense for sharper photos especially under control lighting, better built, better economics, and better support from the company.
I know it’s not a full review but really seemed like there’s nothing really jumps out or is super enticing about this… i only recently picked up an xt3 and looks like I’ll be holding onto it for a while.
40 mp? IBIS? Double the battery life? If you recently picked up the xt3, enjoy it for the next year or two before you upgrade, but this is definitely an upgrade.
I do not really understand why we moved away from a fully articulated screen EVEN as a stills focused camera. There has been a number of times on my X-T2 I would have much rather had a fully articulated screen while taking stills. Not a good change IMO.
I like the left flip display on my sony a7iv because it reminds me of my favourite gadget from modern warfare, that always flapped on the left side: the heat signal radar XD
And yet they bring back the flippy screen. I don't get it. Choose one or or the other, Fuji. Don't have video features, but then slap on a stupid flippy screen and make video useless.
hey kai, just came across this video, been watching you since the digital rev days 🙂 and love your stuff. but what i would like to ask you is how you take such great photos with glasses on? i have recently started due to really poor eyesight now and nearly every photo i take is blurry, can u help with any advice. thanks man, appreciate it, and keep up the great videos, going to get an xt5 for vacation in dec, is it any good ?
Their has never been an issue with the camera since the X-T3 in "detecting" the subject, the real issue is does it focus. This is the biggest issue. You showing us it can detect, that's cool and we know it can do that, but you didn't talk about how many were out of focus. Sure it's preproduction, but focusing will not be one of those things that will be tweaked.
The only feature of interest is the IBIS. But the lack of headphone jack makes it not great for video. Though the video specs are nothing to sneeze at. Sure you can use an external recorder, but thats just more stuff. Guess I'll stick with my XT3. Maybe pick up a used XT4 which will surely be dropping in price.
XH2 is a bit heavier and thicker but a larger grip, better suited to the the heavier lenses Fuji recommends to take full advantage of this sensor. XH2 has a higher resolution EVF. LCD screens are different designs. Different memory cards.
Can someone tell me how far you can flip the screen when holding the camera vertically. So far I have only seen how people flip the screen when holding it horizontal.
It's kinda funny how everyone has the same reaction with any new camera on the market "oh yea it has like pff Idk 40MP and IBIS and big battery with how the fck knows how much dynamic range and ISO very high and very low and it has lenses and 2 SD card slots and yea just the usual so let's wait another month for the new one maybe they give us something new" Love you Kai is not your fault and I'll always enjoy your content xD
The X-T4 does focus bracketing (not stacking, which is in-camera processing of the bracketed shots into one image). As far as I know, Fuji haven't introduced in-camera stacking on any recent models.
Honestly, it really isn't all that impressive to me. Just feels like it's missing shooting modes and more important button/knob adjustment options that SHOULD be on the camera body, but aren't. I really WAS considering purchasing this one, but after the XT-3, I just cannot go with that kind of screen. It's insanely annoying.
Shoshin ni modoru - go back and remember the feeling of being a beginner. That's what I miss about photography. If a company can focus just on the basics again without video as well. Fuji had it good with the original X100 and Pro1 but then they became like everyone else.
Will Fuji actually be able to supply enough of these for them to not be always out of stock everywhere? I'm not talking pandemic supply chain problems, pretty much the only two Fuji models you could get before the pandemic was the X-T30 and X-Pro3, the prior because everyone wanted the X-E4 or X-T3, the latter because of the polarizing rear displays. I'll be interested when an X100 comes out they can keep in stock so they don't cost 2k used. It'll prob be that new at this point with them claiming "NEW SENSOR HIGH RES" bull that isn't needed anyway. At this point an X-Pro3 with a 23 or 27mm lens is there same price and easier to get than an X100V. The new 35mm equivalent lens in the X100V is a lot better than the interchangable lens version along with other parts. If only OM would get enough money from their new overlords to make a new Pen-F that's weather sealed with the same internals as the OM-5 with the OM-1 menus like the 5 should have. I've had a lot easier time with OM-1 raw files than my X-T3, and the sample jpeg and raws from the OM-5 have been great too (should be, it's basically just an EM-1.3).
Why do people say shooting yourself is a video thing. Video is not shooting yourself just like photography is not selfies. 3 way tilt is superior in both video and stills when not shooting yourself. It's not a video vs stills thing except for RUclipsr perspectives. And really it doesn't matter. Several manufacturers have the screen that does both so why isn't Fuji doing that screen. They screwed over their loyal customers with the x-h2 and 2s not having dials,and using marketing to pretend it's ok with this corner cut x-t5. I don't need 40 pixels, I want stacked fast sensor for faster autofocus, with better low light, and if I end up doing video I want the best options. I'm not stooping to a subpar outdated PASM workflow. If I wanted PASM i'd just switch systems. If you want to have better custom presets, actually do that right with *added* buttons and software like cinema cameras do. PASM does not excel in anything the way dials are strong with explicit adjustment, and the way cinema cameras are strong with custom workflows. Since they're taking away the signature experience for the top of the line, I guess the loyal customers that love the system for how it was designed can just fuck off.
No vertical grip = No purchase from me. Its absolutely needed for the way i shoot. I own an xh1 today but want to replace it cause it doesnt feel right to handle.
This is a good sign for Fuji's general health, the guy whose face Kai taped to a balloon had me worried. Hopefully more photo-centric cameras are on the way.
If you're going to spend almost $2k on a Fuji, why wouldn't you just spend that same amount on a used GFX at this point? I picked up a used GFX 50R in that price range almost a year ago and I think I've used my X-T3 twice since then....
Thank you very much, great video! I love my sony A1 and the lens selection but frankly their lack of substantial/meaningful firmware updates is embarrassing! Even for their "Flagship camera". Focus breathing compensation came out with A7SIII (OCT 2020) and still not available for the A1!!!! So I don't see the new focus stacking (A7RV) making its way to other models. Also $1200 for a CF express type A is disgusting!!!
@@stockwatches that would be cool, I've found I dont use the pro features as much on my xt3 (but they are useful occasionally) so would be nice to have a smaller alternative for day to day
And made for filmmakers and videographers too. We don’t want the side hinged selfie screen, none of us shoot ourselves whilst working. Only RUclipsrs think we want the side hinged rubbish. The tilt screen is perfect, the side hinged flippy screen is too slow, cumbersome and obtrusive. Thanks.
Lovely. I’m looking forward to the new generation of X-E and X-Pro. I 💚 fujifilm’s rangefinder-style cameras. It might be too soon to upgrade from my X-E5, though. ;)

So is the difference between the H2 and the X-T5 just the form factor? Less dials?
And less video specs. X-T5 is aimed strictly at photographers who might occasionally shoot videos of cats walking past the street just for giggles.
XH2 is a bit heavier and thicker but a larger grip, better suited to the the heavier lenses Fuji recommends to take full advantage of this sensor. XH2 has a higher resolution EVF. LCD screens are different designs. Different memory cards.
Can someone tell me how far you can flip the screen when holding the camera vertically. So far I have only seen how people flip the screen when holding it horizontal.
about 45 degree
Is this made in japan or somewhere else?
That short video stats segment was amazing. Love to see it
Will the xt5 and the xh2 be approximately the same price? Do you know if both will come with a "kit" lense?
The XH2 body goes for $2000 while the XT5 body prices at $1700. They both carry kit lenses as well but price out accordingly
I like Kai when he's improvising the review.
So always?
It's kinda funny how everyone has the same reaction with any new camera on the market "oh yea it has like pff Idk 40MP and IBIS and big battery with how the fck knows how much dynamic range and ISO very high and very low and it has lenses and 2 SD card slots and yea just the usual so let's wait another month for the new one maybe they give us something new"
Love you Kai is not your fault and I'll always enjoy your content xD
Any info on the XPro 4?
i would like a vertical grip still.
Now that you got the macro on, does it do focus stacking in camera? Like the R7 and R10?
X-T4 does it. I would assume so.
The X-T4 does focus bracketing (not stacking, which is in-camera processing of the bracketed shots into one image). As far as I know, Fuji haven't introduced in-camera stacking on any recent models.
"you can massage me" if anybody needs a massage it's me!
With price well south of 2K quids, Fuji could some some great 1 and 2 lens packages undercutting Full from competition
Full what?
@@fluphybunny930 dunno forgot, weird typo
Eh... the screen is actually 3-way tilting, not 2-way. ruclips.net/video/ttjMTfxh1Po/видео.html
Well, it's more of a 2.5-way tilting screen :-)
Fujifilm gets a dedicated photographer camera 📷 😍
Again, live view makes wotkflow faster
They always had a dedicated photographer camera.
It's called the Xpro.
why didn't they put this screen on x-h2?
Because flippy screens suck.
The day a camera company defies physics and makes a FF camera with this form factor and lens size, I will be a happy man!
Sony A7c LOL
sigma fp and their contemporary lenses are smaller than this and shoot FF at 12bit
@@burnerr
Sigma Fp does not have a shutter so you cannot really use that for photography unless you do landscape.
@@SMGJohn fair enough
@@SMGJohn the key is that lenses need to be smaller. A small camera with a 2lb 24-70 w an 82mm diameter is uncomfortable and looks ridiculous.
Fantastic now put the chip, processor and flip up screen on an xpro body!
Which one is faster on auto focus, sony or fuji ?
Canon
Sony, but it isn't a blowout. Fuji is very good and likely enough for whatever you are doing.
@@fluphybunny930 funny
Honestly, it really isn't all that impressive to me. Just feels like it's missing shooting modes and more important button/knob adjustment options that SHOULD be on the camera body, but aren't. I really WAS considering purchasing this one, but after the XT-3, I just cannot go with that kind of screen. It's insanely annoying.
3:58
But you can't do vertical shots with the screen like this. heavy downer.
The screen also tilts to the sides, not just horizontally.
Shoshin ni modoru - go back and remember the feeling of being a beginner. That's what I miss about photography. If a company can focus just on the basics again without video as well. Fuji had it good with the original X100 and Pro1 but then they became like everyone else.
Nice one Kai enjoy your style on these
Will Fuji actually be able to supply enough of these for them to not be always out of stock everywhere? I'm not talking pandemic supply chain problems, pretty much the only two Fuji models you could get before the pandemic was the X-T30 and X-Pro3, the prior because everyone wanted the X-E4 or X-T3, the latter because of the polarizing rear displays.
I'll be interested when an X100 comes out they can keep in stock so they don't cost 2k used. It'll prob be that new at this point with them claiming "NEW SENSOR HIGH RES" bull that isn't needed anyway. At this point an X-Pro3 with a 23 or 27mm lens is there same price and easier to get than an X100V. The new 35mm equivalent lens in the X100V is a lot better than the interchangable lens version along with other parts.
If only OM would get enough money from their new overlords to make a new Pen-F that's weather sealed with the same internals as the OM-5 with the OM-1 menus like the 5 should have. I've had a lot easier time with OM-1 raw files than my X-T3, and the sample jpeg and raws from the OM-5 have been great too (should be, it's basically just an EM-1.3).
Does it mean I cant mount L bracket on this design?
You can
Why do people say shooting yourself is a video thing. Video is not shooting yourself just like photography is not selfies. 3 way tilt is superior in both video and stills when not shooting yourself. It's not a video vs stills thing except for RUclipsr perspectives. And really it doesn't matter. Several manufacturers have the screen that does both so why isn't Fuji doing that screen.
They screwed over their loyal customers with the x-h2 and 2s not having dials,and using marketing to pretend it's ok with this corner cut x-t5. I don't need 40 pixels, I want stacked fast sensor for faster autofocus, with better low light, and if I end up doing video I want the best options. I'm not stooping to a subpar outdated PASM workflow. If I wanted PASM i'd just switch systems. If you want to have better custom presets, actually do that right with *added* buttons and software like cinema cameras do. PASM does not excel in anything the way dials are strong with explicit adjustment, and the way cinema cameras are strong with custom workflows. Since they're taking away the signature experience for the top of the line, I guess the loyal customers that love the system for how it was designed can just fuck off.
No vertical grip = No purchase from me. Its absolutely needed for the way i shoot. I own an xh1 today but want to replace it cause it doesnt feel right to handle.
This is a good sign for Fuji's general health, the guy whose face Kai taped to a balloon had me worried.
Hopefully more photo-centric cameras are on the way.
If you're going to spend almost $2k on a Fuji, why wouldn't you just spend that same amount on a used GFX at this point? I picked up a used GFX 50R in that price range almost a year ago and I think I've used my X-T3 twice since then....
Waiting for XT2 and XH1 to go down with their price!
Is it just me or is the frame rate a bit off in this video?
We need a monochrome version with a dozen black and white sims.
just got mine love it
was looking to buy h2s but i might as well save some money and get t5 and maybe get a new lense
it will be major upgrade from t1 anyway 😂
Thank you very much, great video!
I love my sony A1 and the lens selection but frankly their lack of substantial/meaningful firmware updates is embarrassing!
Even for their "Flagship camera".
Focus breathing compensation came out with A7SIII (OCT 2020) and still not available for the A1!!!! So I don't see the new focus stacking (A7RV) making its way to other models.
Also $1200 for a CF express type A is disgusting!!!
looks great, wish they could make it slightly smaller on the next upgrade!
Maybe they'll bring out an x-t40 or something around the same size as the x-t30.
@@stockwatches that would be cool, I've found I dont use the pro features as much on my xt3 (but they are useful occasionally) so would be nice to have a smaller alternative for day to day
Loving the content drop ❤
And made for filmmakers and videographers too. We don’t want the side hinged selfie screen, none of us shoot ourselves whilst working.
Only RUclipsrs think we want the side hinged rubbish.
The tilt screen is perfect, the side hinged flippy screen is too slow, cumbersome and obtrusive.
Thanks.
I just wish they’d put the super cool Fujinon logo from the XPro1… so much cooler… and no doubt at the heart of great photos
I am waiting for new X100 generation, anyone ?
Lovely. I’m looking forward to the new generation of X-E and X-Pro. I 💚 fujifilm’s rangefinder-style cameras. It might be too soon to upgrade from my X-E5, though. ;)
Waiting for the next xpro camera. Hoping fuji would release full frame systems. I've never had fuji nor full frame system before but would love to jump into full frame but i do love fuji system/film recipes. kinda torn 🤷
YAY simple FLIP rear screen is back... I refuse to bye those video blog screen cameras.... everything else much improved over T3 I once had. hope to get a T5 before yr end, meanwhile i have a trusty T30 which i will keep
Great review Kai
The MOST important thing is 4.3 aspect ratio IN camera
I totally agree! No one is mentioning that!
xpro3 still undefeated
Some people want IBIS. Go figure.
Great to have a lot of Fuji body options! Choose the one that fits YOUR needs.
Time to upgrade from my X-E1… finally.
Quietly waiting for the Fujifilm XS-1 😉
Or xs-20
I don't care about the battery grip, but I got to play with an X-S10 a while ago, and I really love the bigger grip on the side of the body. Kind of wish the X-T5 was shaped more like that.
