I ended up returning the X-T5 thinking I would like it more than my X-T50. Even with the weather sealing, superior EVF, and battery, it felt lackluster to hold, and it didn't invite me to take it out. I'm tempted to get any X-PRO just for the form factor, but can't decide which one to go to. I heard great things about all of them.
I have a X100F that's had problems since I purchased it brand new -- a hybrid viewfinder warranty repair 5 months in, internal battery issues and EVF/OVF curtain stuck 13 months out after purchase, and so forth. I replaced it this week with an X-T50, after mulling it over for weeks and comparing it with the XT-5. Ultimately, the X-T50 just felt better in my hand and felt more like what I liked about the X100F, and how I plan on using it w/ an 18MM pancake and/or 27MM pancake exclusively. Good video.
I really regret selling my XE2. Sold it to buy XT20, didn't like it. Sold that to buy XT3, the battery drains when off and shutter became unresponsive. Sold that to buy XT1. Now this one, I'm never gonna sell off.
I'm honestly thinking about selling all my camera gear apart from the X100 VI , then picking up the TCL X100 II ... I know I will regret it even if the use of anything that is not the X100 VI is less and less, but i got to think of tools i need professionally at a moments notice too
The X30 compact zoom also has a ribbon that can fatigue and break after you've extend and retracted the lens several hundred times. So does the 60mm f/2.4 macro prime lens. For this reason, I keep my X30 lens extended.
This channel is hilarious :) Unlike other channels where I feel like they are simply reviewing cameras they find interesting to create content on their channel... I feel like this channel is just a live showcase of one man's GAS. And the impossible struggle to find the 'perfect' camera. Good luck Tudor, I hope you find your unicorn!
I have a pristine XE2s because I only used it a few times then my right eye lost its ability to see much and the EVF is meant for the right eye, so I switched brand to Lumix ff now you have me wanting to give the Fujifilm another try especially since mine is still like brand new. I will simply live with an eternaly smudged rear screen lols.
When you mentioned XE2s i know exactly what you meant and felt. I have kept 2 x XE2s and sold 2 x XE3, XT30 etc. Xtrans II is such an amazing jpeg monster.
I’ve got XF1, X10 and X20… lousy ones ( Fujifilm), the same problem, in the LCD appeared this “ lens error” in my part of the world, including Singapore, no place to repair & no one to repair
I was wondering, did you sell your Lumix GX9? If yes, do you regret selling it? If no, do you still take it out shooting once every so often or do you prefer to go shooting with the Fujis?
Honestly - I admire this video. BUT - everything you want is in the X-T5 one way or another. I have been with you with the GAS ride - should I buy this or that. The X-T5 is honestly not that bigger or heavier than the X-T50. The X-T5 has the best LCD, the best EVF and you can switch between film sims easily if you set up your Q menu up properly. Then if you are a hybrid shooter it is as simple as anything to switch between photo and video. The Film Switch dial is just a marketing gimmick to get you to buy the camera and in my opinion you fell for it. I have mine set up so I can change equally as quiicly. Also the lack of buttons on the back would drive me insane, and then the restrictive LCD viewing angles. Anyhow still enjoy your videos, and look forward to you making a video saying you miss the X-T5 and want to buy another one :)
i hate how the music plays for 3 secs (the same music every time) when he shows pics. So much that i can't hear what he is saying cause my mind just hears that music lol
i have the x-T-50 with 27mm 2.8 and 16-50 and 70-140 mm and i go sell my sony A7iv with 24-105 F4. i m more happy with fuji and his portability .Sony is wery good but big and have expensive lens. I i m curios of the little Xm5.

I am holding on to xpro2, XE4 and XT-50. Love them all.
I ended up returning the X-T5 thinking I would like it more than my X-T50. Even with the weather sealing, superior EVF, and battery, it felt lackluster to hold, and it didn't invite me to take it out.
I'm tempted to get any X-PRO just for the form factor, but can't decide which one to go to. I heard great things about all of them.
Try an X-PRO 2 :)
Get the gfx 50r with either the gf45 or gf50mm
Xpro 2
Here this same. Xt5 is boring i want change to xpro3
The XPro 3 is an amazing camera. Low key regret selling mine. AF sucks on it though
I kept my Xpro3 and use it with a M adapter in conjunction with my Leica M10 mostly with Voigtlander glass.
I want that also?
I have a X100F that's had problems since I purchased it brand new -- a hybrid viewfinder warranty repair 5 months in, internal battery issues and EVF/OVF curtain stuck 13 months out after purchase, and so forth.

Yes, it's not clear for me why they repeat the same errors 😔
I don't know why anyone would sell an XT5 over a no sealed X50.. makes no sense.
Now you know 😆
@Tudor_Mateescu 😆.... I just think the x t five is significantly better camera than X50. It's only a hundred grams heavier
@@nevvanclarke9225 it is a good camera
Their needs are different than yours. The value of the camera isn’t justified considering what he feels another camera is offering him.
Makes lots of sense, I took the same route. For my needs X-T50 much more fun than the X-H2S and X-T4 I sold.
So I can buy an xpro3 break the screen and have a Leica?! I’m all in!

Yes, that is why I sold it
@ I would love to see a video on why you ultimately sold it
@@kevvy22 it's on the way - in short it gave signs of problems with the lens retraction (a common failure)
@@Tudor_Mateescu that’s the same reason I sold mine. I really wish there was a quality pocket camera. Thanks Tudor!
I’ve got XF1, X10 and X20… lousy ones ( Fujifilm), the same problem, in the LCD appeared this “ lens error” in my part of the world, including Singapore, no place to repair & no one to repair
I have my XPro 1-3, and love them…
What’s the smallest Fuji with xtrans4, IBIS built in and a viewfinder? - with a 50-230mm and an f2 prime could be an awesome B cam for my ZV-E1 :)
The only cameras with IBIS and X-Trans 4, are the X-T4, X-S10 & X-S20
I was wondering, did you sell your Lumix GX9? If yes, do you regret selling it? If no, do you still take it out shooting once every so often or do you prefer to go shooting with the Fujis?
I still have it, and I will not sell it. Unfortunately I didn't have time to shoot it anymore.
@@Tudor_Mateescu Cool. That is good to hear. It's a wonderful camera
Sure your not just making space in your collection for the X-T6 that's bound to arrive in 2025? 😊
Yes, of course waiting for X-T6 😁 and I said in my videos that it is possible to come 😁
