The x100v was meant to serve for still photography with (mostly) one lense.

@@manuelight Well the X-T5 finally went back to its roots, being a still shooter, which is a good thing.

If you want a more video oriented camera, then yes you'll have to pay more, that's with any system.

And this is a good thing - thanks Fujifilm.
A camera geared towards photographers...what a concept. I'm thrilled. I love my XT3, the dials, the look, the feel...it's all good.

@@polygoncoco ikr.... lotsa chatter in the cyberspace! They're complaining left, right, centre! Fujifilm released the X-T4 'very left' of the body's norm.

I'm just back from my local camera dealer, where I traded in my X-T4 for an X-H2. I had been thinking I should wait and try the X-T5 first, but this review really helped me make up my mind NOT to do that. Key learnings: (1) I don't shoot a lot of videos, but when I do, they tend to be long. Both the X-T5 and X-H2 have theoretically unlimited record times, but the review showed me that the X-H2 will record longer because the X-T5 is more likely to have heat issues. (2) When I got the X-T4 I thought, "Wow, I really like having separate dials," but I've realized that in practice, I never use them; I keep them locked and use the front and rear control dials for adjustments. So, the X-H2 layout is closer to the way I actually use the camera. (3) I liked the X-T4's fully articulating screen a lot because it let me fold it away from protection when carrying the camera. The X-T5 doesn't have that and the X-H2 does. So, thanks to DPRTV for helping me decide this is NOT the right camera for me!
As an X-T2 owner there wasn't much reason to buy an X-T3 or X-T4 as the evolutions on these cameras were negligible for me, but the higher resolution with improved autofocus is a clear step upwards.
@@f1l4nn1m yes. just last month upgraded from x-t2 to x-t3 and the difference was so good, that instead of now buying x-t5 I will buy for that cash the new 56 1.2
@@trailzable definitely how the buttons feel, they feel way better. Better and faster autofocus, battery life, better screen, better viewfinder, 4k 60fps video. That being said the image quality was pretty much the same
Everyone was so pleased when the X-T4 launched as a top end, Flagship, all round Hybrid camera with great stills and video capabilities. Now we’re reverting to a camera that is targeted at stills photographers again! Quite frankly, the X-T4 is still more than good enough for the vast majority of Fuji’s potential customers, myself included.
How they've re-positioned the X-T with the X-H models makes more sense now. The X-T4 is more like an X-H model with X-T dials, which may still appeal to some. Curious to see if they keep the X-T4 in the line-up in 2023.
@@kbarrett1844 well actually it happened with the X-T3 release, which was incredibly capable for video (and still is if you don't mind the autofocus). Probably some users would like X-T5 to be X-H2 with another body, but to me these dials make no sense if you switch between photo and video constantly, so I'm not upset about it.
I love the fact that we have arrived at a point where you can call a camera that captures you in beautiful 6.2k/24p footage right out ouf the box a camera "with some video functionality" and not even be wrong about it :D
@@manuelight Not good for us. :) But I agree, it is not just the money, I do not want the bigger X-H2. Looks like I am gonna stay with the X-T3 until they change their mind again.
@@manuelight The XT-5 can still shoot videos. But many still photographers rarely shoot videos, especially the hobbyists who just use their phone since it's so much more convenient, so having a smaller body for photography is a plus. And also considering every other manufacturer is upping their prices with their updated camera, Fuji maintained the same price.
about time someone is making a more photo centric camera. the choices for hybrid are plenty out there and i know many photogs who doesn't do or need video.
I think I made my decision when I bought a xh2 and xh2s and sold my other Fuji bodies. I’ll take a better viewfinder, 8k, and cf express any day. Glad they released the xt5 to give everyone that option but I would just jump to the x-pro4 for that vintage feeling.
I'm not. Cant stand chimping screens. It takes away the illusion of shooting a classic film camera. Honestly Sony got it right with the A7R5. Perfect for any person no mater what kind of screen they want.
I skipped the XT4 mainly because of the screen, for landscape the articulating is better for me. I think this is pretty much the perfect upgrade from my XT3 as I want more resolution to crop. It would have been nice to have the higher res evf but at this price point I cant really complain. Looking forward to your production spec image quality review and thanks for being on top of this launch!
I've read elsewhere that the optics used with the EVF are improved, for better magnification, so the EVF experience may be better even if the resolution didn't change.
That EVF has to be the biggest own goal ever. The XS10 and XT30 are for those on a budget. On a camera styled as a traditional SLR having the best EVF available was absolutely critical.
No flip screen, no Apple ProRes, no headphone jack, no battery grip connection, no full HDMI port, mmmmh Things I love: 40MP sensor and same processor as X-H2, pixel shift capabilities, same film simulations as X-H2, 1/180,000 shutter speed in electronic mode, bulb at last for 60 mins, 6K and 4K with decent codecs and frame rates, more battery life, two SD slots with UHS-II compatibility, interval shooting, many more functions for photography and very good AF.
Yesterday I used my X-T5 and 16-55mm in fairly bad hospital lighting (for a work thing), in a bustling crowd, and found the autofocus and face recognition were rock solid. A great first work-related outing with it.
Bought the XT-3 last year because I didn't want the articulating screen; excited to see the XT-5 brought back the old screen. When you do the full review, I want to know about: performance in low-light with IBIS and ability to save WB with custom presets (for quick film recipe changes). Y'all always make the best videos!
Please explain this, it makes no sense to choose a screen that is less flexible and one that cannot be flipped toward the camera to protect the screen. People complaining about this feature set the X-T line back 5 years.
It’s a matter of preference. I don’t consider it a set back. One problem with fully articulated panels is that it doesn’t work well when used with L Brackets.
99% of the people won't notice any resolution difference, unless you are a high end fine photography art and getting massive prints etc. I had the XT3 and I have the XT4 and XE4. If it's solely for photos I would highly recommend to save your money and stick with the XT3. Personally, the articulating screen is beast for vlogs, so no need for me to upgrade. I use the XE4 as my photo cam.
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.
Fujifilm have made a lot of small upgrades on their T line since the T2. I think this is the first time that it has finally clicked over to be substantial enough that I might upgrade. Since I don't do video, the resolution bump and the new colour profiles, make this feel like a true X-T3 finally.
Just check the colours before buying: I find the old XT2/Xpro2 (and especially the old 16Mp sensor) much more pleasing compared to the cold oversharpened look of the 3d gen XTrans look. I sold an X100v because I couldn't stand the output.
@@Leptospirosi That's my fear. I shoot mostly with the X70, it's X-trans II and I like the look of Velvia so I never change it. My X-T2 is nice also, but I have heard that they neutralised the reds since then.
I'm all in on Fuji, and the last time I was this excited for a new Fuji camera was back in the X-H1 days. The 40MP sensor and new CPU is the most intriguing. I currently have an X-E1, X-T1, X-T2, X-S10, and X-E4. Wasn't as excited when the X-H2 was released because the ~$2K price is out of my price point.
I'm beginning to like the sound of this one. I haven't felt much enthusiasm for some of their recent cameras, but this one seems to embody the Fuji ethos I first bought into. Now if only they'd bring the new autofocus features to the X100 series ...
I will miss being able to hide the screen since I never use it... Otherwise, I'm glad that they're focusing more on photography-specific needs like push-in buttons and a better grip.
Time flies. I had the XT-1 when it came out and loved it. I had the original X100 as well. That was very film like. Reminded me of the original Canon 5D. I been out of the camera game a long time I guess. Up to 5 already.
I’m still using a Canon T3i, and I LOVE the fully articulating screen. I’m not a fan of this kind of screen (on the XT5), but the camera itself looks like a major upgrade. I was going to get an XT4, but maybe I’ll just get the XT5! The articulating screen is one of my favorite things about the T3i.
You may miss the versatility of the full articulating screen! It just depends on what you're using it for.. This is a great upgrade to the xt3, but not from the xt4. For vlogs, xt4 is beast.
Over the moon with this spec. Getting one soon as. As a landscape photographer who uses a tripod a lot I always have a customised l bracket on my cameras, the 3 way tilt screen is far superior in that situation. So Im not wrong Chris 😊👍
4:16 most common use of tilt screen is for quick low angle shots. The flippy screen faces you to look away from the subject, opens slower, and sticks out from the camera very conspicuously
@@clanpsi no, actually it doesn't. If you're a stills shootwr and want to QUICKLY grab a low or high angle shot it's much quicker than the flip screen, which also wont fully flip out if you have an L bracket on. I have an XT-4 and deal with this always. Flip screen=PITA
I have an X-T3 and the dials are the main selling point. I can adapt to any situation instantly and get the shot...I also love electronic shutter for quiet shots and the fact that any Fuji lens looks GOOD with the camera and feels like they are a single unit. I also have an X-M3 and give that to my girlfriend so we can swap lenses while we stroll around shooting. There's no real reason to upgrade to an X-T5 (I also use Sony full-frame) but this is something I will be looking into this in a couple of years when I can get a good deal on used.
Good job DpReviewTV. You were informative in your review but also careful to not be too critical of the camera. We can anticipate future Fujifilm reviews from you in the future. Cheers!

The words like "colour" and "armour" came to English from Old French. So yes, he could say "French origin" and make everyone happy. But did he want to make people happy? 😄
Oh, finally Fuji came back to senses! This is a great successor to X-T3. (We will try to forget and never mention X-T4 ever again). Smaller size, normal screen, dual SD cards, focus selector. Beautiful.
Was nervous to watch this as I love my XT4. I, personally, wouldn't notice the higher MP too much and I like the articulating screen on the XT4 as I do the odd video recording.
Finally something that might make me consider upgrading my XT-3! I don't do video, and I love the way my current camera handles, so this is a welcome addition for me.
I'm eager to see their more compact offerings next gen XE, XV. As for the budget bigger cameras, I wonder if they're gonna do an update XS or XT-*0 next.
The improvements to the grip are so underrated, you can actually hold it properly now instead of doing the weird finger clamp over the way too small grip bulge thing. Together with the lighter body it is so much more comfortable to hold than the XT4.
Thanks for the video guys. Always much appreciated. As I am primarily a stills photographer, I'll be interested to see the full review, with studio test scene of the X-T5. However, I suspect that the low light performance will suffer from the higher number of pixels. I currently use the X-T4 and X-T2 for wedding photography, although these days I only do a few each year as I am semi-retired. In low light shots in churches, registry offices, etc, the X-T2 produces less noise than the X-T4 on high ISO shots from around 1600 ISO up and the higher you go, the greater the difference. This actually shows quite well in your website comparisons in the reviews of the cameras, when looked at side by side on the studio scene. Especially shows up in the dark areas.
Higher resolution sensors are not noisier, DP Review even has a video about it. Noise only appears greater because of the higher detail when zoomed in. When viewed at the same size, images are identical. Two identical exposures capture the same amount of light, regardless of how big or small the photosites are.
I like how you and Fujifilm have told customers about megapixels vs lenses!! Megapixels is the easy way to market cameras but the majority of customers do not realize lenses matter more.
Lenses matter so much more. Plus most peoples lenses can’t resolve these higher mega pixel camera. Sonys G master lenses will resolve higher and most of their Zeiss line will to. Canon pro glass can and Nikons pro glass can too. But Fuji is having to pump out new lenses to fully resolve these higher mp cameras
Why did Fujifilm produce the list of those lenses then? There is a bottleneck based on lens vs sensor. If your lens can resolve ~20MP a 10MP camera is the bottleneck and vice versa. It's easier to sell new cameras by increasing their MP so it 'feels' like an upgrade.
Cool they did this, but it’s making me lean towards an XT4 even more. Still the best hybrid APSC shooter out there for the price. Even better used. And I agree, Chris. Loss of the flip screen is a deal breaker.
@@Chindogu133 My use is quite mixed instead, and unfortunately the lack of rotating screen its a dealbreaker for me. SInce I'm using my XT4 for both photo and video, being able to flip the screen away when taking images, and having it up when vlogging or using it as a webcam is really useful. Also, I do plenty of travelling, so being able to hide the screen gives that bit of safety from damage and peace of mind.
The flip screen was a deal breaker for me with XT4, couldn't stand it. I think with XT5 they finally hit the nail on the head. The ergonomics are just perfect for a photographer's camera. I love the fact that it's so close to XT1 in that respect. If you want to shoot video, go for H2.
This is the direction Fuji should've went a few years ago. A Video / Photo hybrid camera line, and the Photographic line. The technologies are shared but the user experiences are totally different. Probably saw that coming with the XS10, a camera probably not many photographers bought. I guess the XH1 got a bad rep, for being like an R&D project, than an actual commercial line. At least now they fixed it, and it'll be easy to choose between the bodies from now on.
Bringing back the flip up screen is not what videographers want. That's mainly a photographer's choice. It was a bad mistake to bring back a flip up screen to a hybrid camera.
The photo line already exists. The XPro, X100, XE. We didn't need a premium XT model that is now overshadowed by the new H2/s line. There's also GFX line that needs more attention like lens support that have the premium build quality and improved designs. Seeing Sigma and Sony come out with full frame lenses with multiple buttons/switches on them for different uses while GFX isn't, is bizarre.
@@jmtennapel oh sorry I think what I meant was it didn’t have those classic dials that a lot of people love to use. I’m sure it’s really good photo camera as well and the grip is certainly nice. And the flip screen is really more video centric. I had the XT4 and really diddly like it so I downgraded to XT30ii. I should’ve waited for the XT5 but I wouldn’t know if and when it will be released.
@@BrownieX001 yea I agree, the XT5 just adds to the already great line. I love the X100 series and has 3 versions, I downgraded from XT4 to XT30ii because I don’t like the flip screen, but sometimes I just want the IBIS in a classic and compact body. the XT5 fulfills this for me.
If it were designed as a photography camera with some video capabilities, it could have had metering mode dial instead of video/still switch. I'll wait for the IQ reviews before I decide if I want to upgrade. I actualy got quite used to fully articulated screen on the X-T4 - I keep it closed and use EVF almost exclusively. :)
I didn't bother with the xt4 and i'm really disapointed with the xt5 which I was planning to upgrade too. The IQ and autofocus will have to be spectacular for me to get this one either. Oh well.
Hmm I love the look and features of this one but I'm gonna keep my X-T4. I don't have the money for a new camera, don't actually need 40mpx, and I do prefer a fully articulated screen for the occasional shooting and, most importantly, keep the screen hidden 99% of the time unless I need a weird angle :p Nostalgic Neg is the one feature I find myself missing very much in my X-T4, it looks so good, but I'll just have to stick to Classic Neg for the vintage feel.
It's always a bit of a pickle for me, because I'm one of the few people that wants a camera that does it all but in a small retro body. So downgraded video features (not that this is worse than the XT-4) is not so great to me (but the camera is still perfectly capable). I personally wish all cameras had the LCD screen of the Sony A7R V. It's the best of everything (and if you don't think it's rugged enough, just don't pull the screen out). That all said, I have to be realistic, and most video work I do, won't require anything that this camera doesn't already have and most of what I'd do with it would be still photography anyway. But I figured it's the internet and I needed to get my complaints in. Still, this camera is quite tempting, and perhaps I'll pick one up at some point. I only fear that I'll like it so much that my other camera won't get any love.
@Pepe Pupu As I said, it's not worse than the X-T4, it's more a relative thing. The X-T4 being better than the X-H1. The video features on the X-T5 are actually very good still. More than most people need.
Between this XT5 and the previous XT4, which do you think would behave better at high isos? The new one with more modern technology but a 40Mp sensor or the old one with older technology but a 26Mp sensor? Thanks.
Great time for Aps-c shooter. Tonnes of options both in cameras and lens. Hope fuji doing well and continue to bring kaizen improvement to older existing camera. Quote : just because it works, doesnt mean it cant be improve.
What is the benefit of releasing the H2 with the 40MP when this XT5 is there... I think Fujifilm is making a mistake with trying to appeal more to photographers with XT5 when they already have the XPro line. Regarding the fun dials, they could have reworked the XPro line with that and made the XE line more premium. This XT5 doesn't seem too much of an improvement over the XT4 when the 4 has more hybrid capabilities and vertical grip. Edit: I usually support more options for the consumer. But when one brand releases too many products that work similarly they tend to artificially restrict some of the features in lower end models. So far that's mostly been film simulations for fuji line. They have been good at updating firmware but have slowed down. With more products I am concerned about their ability to continue supporting previous models. Not expecting them to provide firmware for XT2 but if this continues then I suspect the XT4 won't have the same firmware life span as the XT2 line did.
Really interested in low light and dynamic range capabilities compared to the xh2s. Those would be the tiping points for me. Though that crop on xt5 video modes is already sad :/
kinda agree with Fuji approach. Before I thought that I will shoot photos and videos with my current X-T2, but after using it, I hardly using it for videos. X-H2 may suitable for hybrids shooters.
I'm a bit ocd and the nose prints and grease constantly on the screen drive me nuts. Given the oppertunity I'd keep the thing turned in pretty much constantly
I think that 40+ MP non-stacked sensors make more sense as photography-oriented cameras rather than all-rounders (which is how the X-T line was historically positioned). The only one of the current crop of such cameras that clocks out fast enough to have "reasonable" rolling shutter is the R5, but it pays a hefty thermal price for that (literally) blazing-fast clock-out. I say this as somebody who owns an R5 and an A7Riii, and has shot/rented several other such high-res bodies. Obviously stacked high-res sensors as in the A1 (which is my main camera these days) and Z9 can escape some of these tradeoffs, but even the A1 is somewhat compromised for video inasmuch as you have to drop to Super35 to get good 60 fps footage.
At 8:36, DPReview displays the X-T4 Aspect Ratio options. Does anyone know if the X-T5 has the same Aspect Ratio options? I recently purchased a used GFX-50R...specifically for its 65:24 panoramic aspect ratio and the rangefinder feel of a Digital X-Pan panoramic camera! 🙂

Everyone was so pleased when the X-T4 launched as a top end, Flagship, all round Hybrid camera with great stills and video capabilities. Now we’re reverting to a camera that is targeted at stills photographers again! Quite frankly, the X-T4 is still more than good enough for the vast majority of Fuji’s potential customers, myself included.
How they've re-positioned the X-T with the X-H models makes more sense now. The X-T4 is more like an X-H model with X-T dials, which may still appeal to some. Curious to see if they keep the X-T4 in the line-up in 2023.
I love my XT4 the hype makes it hard to stop buying the next best camera. It takes discipline not to get sucked in.
Totally agree. I will stay with my X-T4.
Sounds Great to me, I only shoot stills
@@kbarrett1844 well actually it happened with the X-T3 release, which was incredibly capable for video (and still is if you don't mind the autofocus). Probably some users would like X-T5 to be X-H2 with another body, but to me these dials make no sense if you switch between photo and video constantly, so I'm not upset about it.
I love the fact that we have arrived at a point where you can call a camera that captures you in beautiful 6.2k/24p footage right out ouf the box a camera "with some video functionality" and not even be wrong about it :D
lol. We are all spoiled with new camera tech.
Yeah right? And does it absolutely beautifully, with no grading.
Finally a worthy upgrade to my xt1 , 8yrs in the making , thanks Fuji .
You’re in for a treat-enjoy!
This is the one I'm most excited for! Thanks Chris and Jordan for always being both informative and entertaining!
And just like that, Fujifilm has rectified their XH1/XT3 timing error. Seems like a clear differentiation between the XH2 and the XT5. Well done Fuji!
they basically just demand more money now if you want to shoot videos too...that's not good
@@manuelight Not good for us. :) But I agree, it is not just the money, I do not want the bigger X-H2. Looks like I am gonna stay with the X-T3 until they change their mind again.
@@manuelight The XT-5 can still shoot videos. But many still photographers rarely shoot videos, especially the hobbyists who just use their phone since it's so much more convenient, so having a smaller body for photography is a plus. And also considering every other manufacturer is upping their prices with their updated camera, Fuji maintained the same price.
The best screen design out there!
about time someone is making a more photo centric camera. the choices for hybrid are plenty out there and i know many photogs who doesn't do or need video.
"about time" What about the A74?
@@captainkirk3000 except xt-5 is like 1000 bucks cheaper lol
@@captainkirk3000 Let's start with that fully articulating screen of the A7iv.
@@wm1573 that's the bad autofocus discount lol
@@captainkirk3000 🤦 I'd get a worse af Fuji over soulless boring overpriced Sony anytime. That's Sony's only marketing scheme " good af "
The lighting on Jordan’s part of the video is amazing 👏👏
I was just thinking the same thing! So soft and big yet so controlled in the background. The production level on these are top notch.
I think I made my decision when I bought a xh2 and xh2s and sold my other Fuji bodies. I’ll take a better viewfinder, 8k, and cf express any day. Glad they released the xt5 to give everyone that option but I would just jump to the x-pro4 for that vintage feeling.
Looks pretty nice! Glad they revised the LCD screen in this specific case. It makes more sense.
I'm not. Cant stand chimping screens. It takes away the illusion of shooting a classic film camera. Honestly Sony got it right with the A7R5. Perfect for any person no mater what kind of screen they want.
@@Chindogu133 Whatever works for ya.
Totally agree, finally perfect ergonomics for a street photographer. Articulating screen is just for video selfies )) Totally useless for how I shoot.
I skipped the XT4 mainly because of the screen, for landscape the articulating is better for me. I think this is pretty much the perfect upgrade from my XT3 as I want more resolution to crop. It would have been nice to have the higher res evf but at this price point I cant really complain. Looking forward to your production spec image quality review and thanks for being on top of this launch!
I've read elsewhere that the optics used with the EVF are improved, for better magnification, so the EVF experience may be better even if the resolution didn't change.
You too lazy to bend down pothead?
I'm not upgrading from the X-T4. I prefer the fully articulated screen too. I love my X-T4. I love it.I simply love it.😁
🤡
That EVF has to be the biggest own goal ever. The XS10 and XT30 are for those on a budget. On a camera styled as a traditional SLR having the best EVF available was absolutely critical.
Lol, it’s a fantastic EVF.
@@Jabber-ig3iw yes it is but after using the 5.76 it doesn’t look great anymore.
No flip screen, no Apple ProRes, no headphone jack, no battery grip connection, no full HDMI port, mmmmh
Things I love: 40MP sensor and same processor as X-H2, pixel shift capabilities, same film simulations as X-H2, 1/180,000 shutter speed in electronic mode, bulb at last for 60 mins, 6K and 4K with decent codecs and frame rates, more battery life, two SD slots with UHS-II compatibility, interval shooting, many more functions for photography and very good AF.
The first thing I noticed that silver model is still prone to scratches.
I love the scratches on on my 5 yr old Fuji. It shows it was used as intended.
Very nice first look. I completely agree with Chris on the fully articulating screen and now I want a Fujifilm X-T4 mark 2.
I have always sung the praises of the XT-3 screen style. Its just fantastic.
Yesterday I used my X-T5 and 16-55mm in fairly bad hospital lighting (for a work thing), in a bustling crowd, and found the autofocus and face recognition were rock solid. A great first work-related outing with it.
Bought the XT-3 last year because I didn't want the articulating screen; excited to see the XT-5 brought back the old screen. When you do the full review, I want to know about: performance in low-light with IBIS and ability to save WB with custom presets (for quick film recipe changes). Y'all always make the best videos!
Please explain this, it makes no sense to choose a screen that is less flexible and one that cannot be flipped toward the camera to protect the screen. People complaining about this feature set the X-T line back 5 years.
It’s a matter of preference. I don’t consider it a set back. One problem with fully articulated panels is that it doesn’t work well when used with L Brackets.
99% of the people won't notice any resolution difference, unless you are a high end fine photography art and getting massive prints etc. I had the XT3 and I have the XT4 and XE4. If it's solely for photos I would highly recommend to save your money and stick with the XT3. Personally, the articulating screen is beast for vlogs, so no need for me to upgrade. I use the XE4 as my photo cam.
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.
Super excited for this especially considering the scarcity of the X100V...but the focus on photos over video makes it that much more appealing. 🎉🎉🎉
Y’all are number one on my list of camera reviewers I want to have a beer with.
Wow you guys are busy, so much content! The video performance of this is jaw dropping!
Fujifilm have made a lot of small upgrades on their T line since the T2. I think this is the first time that it has finally clicked over to be substantial enough that I might upgrade.
Since I don't do video, the resolution bump and the new colour profiles, make this feel like a true X-T3 finally.
Just check the colours before buying: I find the old XT2/Xpro2 (and especially the old 16Mp sensor) much more pleasing compared to the cold oversharpened look of the 3d gen XTrans look. I sold an X100v because I couldn't stand the output.
@@Leptospirosi That's my fear. I shoot mostly with the X70, it's X-trans II and I like the look of Velvia so I never change it. My X-T2 is nice also, but I have heard that they neutralised the reds since then.
I like that this is now clearly a photocentric model
Chris you sold this camera with your biggest smile I have ever seen on you. Thanks for sharing
I'm all in on Fuji, and the last time I was this excited for a new Fuji camera was back in the X-H1 days. The 40MP sensor and new CPU is the most intriguing. I currently have an X-E1, X-T1, X-T2, X-S10, and X-E4. Wasn't as excited when the X-H2 was released because the ~$2K price is out of my price point.
I love my H2S, but for just photography, I have been waiting a long time for a high MP upgrade to the X-T3. It’s here. Sigh of relief.
You nailed it; they've updated the XT3, which is great because that's my favorite Fuji camera.
I'm beginning to like the sound of this one. I haven't felt much enthusiasm for some of their recent cameras, but this one seems to embody the Fuji ethos I first bought into. Now if only they'd bring the new autofocus features to the X100 series ...
I will miss being able to hide the screen since I never use it...
Otherwise, I'm glad that they're focusing more on photography-specific needs like push-in buttons and a better grip.
Time flies. I had the XT-1 when it came out and loved it. I had the original X100 as well. That was very film like. Reminded me of the original Canon 5D. I been out of the camera game a long time I guess. Up to 5 already.
0:11 That old black and white silent film music is priceless! Great job, again.
I’m still using a Canon T3i, and I LOVE the fully articulating screen. I’m not a fan of this kind of screen (on the XT5), but the camera itself looks like a major upgrade. I was going to get an XT4, but maybe I’ll just get the XT5! The articulating screen is one of my favorite things about the T3i.
You may miss the versatility of the full articulating screen! It just depends on what you're using it for.. This is a great upgrade to the xt3, but not from the xt4. For vlogs, xt4 is beast.
perfect timing while Im still saving for the x-t4 thanks fuji!
Back to the roots… fantastic!
Over the moon with this spec. Getting one soon as. As a landscape photographer who uses a tripod a lot I always have a customised l bracket on my cameras, the 3 way tilt screen is far superior in that situation. So Im not wrong Chris 😊👍
I use a l bracket with flip screen for years without any issues.
4:16 most common use of tilt screen is for quick low angle shots. The flippy screen faces you to look away from the subject, opens slower, and sticks out from the camera very conspicuously
The tilt screen sucks.
@ClanPsi For what, selfies?
@@clanpsi no, actually it doesn't. If you're a stills shootwr and want to QUICKLY grab a low or high angle shot it's much quicker than the flip screen, which also wont fully flip out if you have an L bracket on. I have an XT-4 and deal with this always.
Flip screen=PITA
All nonsense
I have an X-T3 and the dials are the main selling point. I can adapt to any situation instantly and get the shot...I also love electronic shutter for quiet shots and the fact that any Fuji lens looks GOOD with the camera and feels like they are a single unit. I also have an X-M3 and give that to my girlfriend so we can swap lenses while we stroll around shooting.
There's no real reason to upgrade to an X-T5 (I also use Sony full-frame) but this is something I will be looking into this in a couple of years when I can get a good deal on used.
Good job DpReviewTV. You were informative in your review but also careful to not be too critical of the camera. We can anticipate future Fujifilm reviews from you in the future. Cheers!
Chris casually declaring war on all of Quebec by saying "our country's British origin"
I think General Frontenac will answer from the mouth of his Cannons!
A couple decades ago, Quebec didn't even want to be a part of Canada. Why start now?
Eff Quebec.
Think the indigenous people might have something to say about that ..
The words like "colour" and "armour" came to English from Old French. So yes, he could say "French origin" and make everyone happy. But did he want to make people happy? 😄
3 way tilt lcd is the best when you are shooting vertical landscape photos on a tripod and you are using L-bracket. For me is the best solution :)
Oh, finally Fuji came back to senses! This is a great successor to X-T3. (We will try to forget and never mention X-T4 ever again). Smaller size, normal screen, dual SD cards, focus selector. Beautiful.
Was nervous to watch this as I love my XT4. I, personally, wouldn't notice the higher MP too much and I like the articulating screen on the XT4 as I do the odd video recording.
Same. The XT4 is staying.
I want fully articulated screen with 40MP and Fujifilm X-T series dials. And now it's still impossible.
Been using X-T1 for many years. This is a win.
Finally something that might make me consider upgrading my XT-3! I don't do video, and I love the way my current camera handles, so this is a welcome addition for me.
This is everything I'd hoped it would be 🤩
I am quite impressed with the X-T5 so far, however I'm more curious about the new affordable X-Trans V cameras. The X-T40 would be nice.
I'm eager to see their more compact offerings next gen XE, XV. As for the budget bigger cameras, I wonder if they're gonna do an update XS or XT-*0 next.
Why?
This is all I need in a camera--I am a photographer period. I have a Sony set up as well for certain shooting conditions but I love my Fujis.
I can’t wait for your XH2 final review
I use my XT4 like a film camera by flipping the screen "shut" (protection mode?) and I'll really miss that feature in the XT5
You can change the display so it's not showing the preview or the photos you've just taken. You can have it off or just the settings
So excited for a photographer first camera 😍😍. Used my x-t3 now for 3 years and never did a Video. The x-t5 sounds wonderful 😍
The improvements to the grip are so underrated, you can actually hold it properly now instead of doing the weird finger clamp over the way too small grip bulge thing. Together with the lighter body it is so much more comfortable to hold than the XT4.
3 video updates from DPReview in a day? What a day!
Jordan, your composition is top-notch!
I love my X-T3...no fiddly flippy screen! This will be my next upgrade, especially with IBIS.
Thanks for the video guys. Always much appreciated. As I am primarily a stills photographer, I'll be interested to see the full review, with studio test scene of the X-T5. However, I suspect that the low light performance will suffer from the higher number of pixels. I currently use the X-T4 and X-T2 for wedding photography, although these days I only do a few each year as I am semi-retired. In low light shots in churches, registry offices, etc, the X-T2 produces less noise than the X-T4 on high ISO shots from around 1600 ISO up and the higher you go, the greater the difference. This actually shows quite well in your website comparisons in the reviews of the cameras, when looked at side by side on the studio scene. Especially shows up in the dark areas.
Higher resolution sensors are not noisier, DP Review even has a video about it. Noise only appears greater because of the higher detail when zoomed in. When viewed at the same size, images are identical.
Two identical exposures capture the same amount of light, regardless of how big or small the photosites are.
@@Skux720 Suggest that you look at the X-T4 vs X-T2 images side by side on the DPReview site. It's pretty obvious that the X-T4 is noisier.
I'm thrilled. I'll be upgrading from my xt3.
I like how you and Fujifilm have told customers about megapixels vs lenses!!
Megapixels is the easy way to market cameras but the majority of customers do not realize lenses matter more.
Megapixels matters if you crop a lot / print bigger. No matter the lens that's where more MP shines the most
Lenses matter so much more. Plus most peoples lenses can’t resolve these higher mega pixel camera. Sonys G master lenses will resolve higher and most of their Zeiss line will to. Canon pro glass can and Nikons pro glass can too. But Fuji is having to pump out new lenses to fully resolve these higher mp cameras
@@erichramone7812 🤦
Why did Fujifilm produce the list of those lenses then? There is a bottleneck based on lens vs sensor. If your lens can resolve ~20MP a 10MP camera is the bottleneck and vice versa. It's easier to sell new cameras by increasing their MP so it 'feels' like an upgrade.
@@dogpadogpa it’s for sure an upgrade looks like 👍 a great camera. All I was saying is that good glass is the most Important part for sure
Cool they did this, but it’s making me lean towards an XT4 even more. Still the best hybrid APSC shooter out there for the price. Even better used. And I agree, Chris. Loss of the flip screen is a deal breaker.
As a person that never shoots video I agree completely. Hate the greasy chimping screens. Just let me hide it away.
@@Chindogu133 My use is quite mixed instead, and unfortunately the lack of rotating screen its a dealbreaker for me. SInce I'm using my XT4 for both photo and video, being able to flip the screen away when taking images, and having it up when vlogging or using it as a webcam is really useful. Also, I do plenty of travelling, so being able to hide the screen gives that bit of safety from damage and peace of mind.
The flip screen was a deal breaker for me with XT4, couldn't stand it. I think with XT5 they finally hit the nail on the head. The ergonomics are just perfect for a photographer's camera. I love the fact that it's so close to XT1 in that respect. If you want to shoot video, go for H2.
Long live the three-way tilting screen 😂😂😂 Chris !
This is the direction Fuji should've went a few years ago. A Video / Photo hybrid camera line, and the Photographic line. The technologies are shared but the user experiences are totally different. Probably saw that coming with the XS10, a camera probably not many photographers bought. I guess the XH1 got a bad rep, for being like an R&D project, than an actual commercial line.
At least now they fixed it, and it'll be easy to choose between the bodies from now on.
Bringing back the flip up screen is not what videographers want. That's mainly a photographer's choice. It was a bad mistake to bring back a flip up screen to a hybrid camera.
The photo line already exists. The XPro, X100, XE. We didn't need a premium XT model that is now overshadowed by the new H2/s line. There's also GFX line that needs more attention like lens support that have the premium build quality and improved designs. Seeing Sigma and Sony come out with full frame lenses with multiple buttons/switches on them for different uses while GFX isn't, is bizarre.
The XS10 is a perfect photography body. I don't get why you think it isn't. The main differentiator: the grip!
@@jmtennapel oh sorry I think what I meant was it didn’t have those classic dials that a lot of people love to use. I’m sure it’s really good photo camera as well and the grip is certainly nice. And the flip screen is really more video centric. I had the XT4 and really diddly like it so I downgraded to XT30ii. I should’ve waited for the XT5 but I wouldn’t know if and when it will be released.
@@BrownieX001 yea I agree, the XT5 just adds to the already great line. I love the X100 series and has 3 versions, I downgraded from XT4 to XT30ii because I don’t like the flip screen, but sometimes I just want the IBIS in a classic and compact body. the XT5 fulfills this for me.
If it were designed as a photography camera with some video capabilities, it could have had metering mode dial instead of video/still switch. I'll wait for the IQ reviews before I decide if I want to upgrade. I actualy got quite used to fully articulated screen on the X-T4 - I keep it closed and use EVF almost exclusively. :)
I didn't bother with the xt4 and i'm really disapointed with the xt5 which I was planning to upgrade too. The IQ and autofocus will have to be spectacular for me to get this one either. Oh well.
Hmm I love the look and features of this one but I'm gonna keep my X-T4. I don't have the money for a new camera, don't actually need 40mpx, and I do prefer a fully articulated screen for the occasional shooting and, most importantly, keep the screen hidden 99% of the time unless I need a weird angle :p Nostalgic Neg is the one feature I find myself missing very much in my X-T4, it looks so good, but I'll just have to stick to Classic Neg for the vintage feel.
This camera seems more for the photographer and not so much the hybrid shooter who leans video. I think I'll stick to my XT-4 for now.
It's always a bit of a pickle for me, because I'm one of the few people that wants a camera that does it all but in a small retro body. So downgraded video features (not that this is worse than the XT-4) is not so great to me (but the camera is still perfectly capable). I personally wish all cameras had the LCD screen of the Sony A7R V. It's the best of everything (and if you don't think it's rugged enough, just don't pull the screen out).
That all said, I have to be realistic, and most video work I do, won't require anything that this camera doesn't already have and most of what I'd do with it would be still photography anyway. But I figured it's the internet and I needed to get my complaints in.
Still, this camera is quite tempting, and perhaps I'll pick one up at some point. I only fear that I'll like it so much that my other camera won't get any love.
@Pepe Pupu As I said, it's not worse than the X-T4, it's more a relative thing. The X-T4 being better than the X-H1. The video features on the X-T5 are actually very good still. More than most people need.
This looks like it may very well be a camera for me. I’m looking forward to some more testing and reviews.
I am so glad I skipped the X-T4 and waited for this one... Can´t wait to get my hands on it!
Fujifilm is back on track with this camera. Now I am just waiting for a 40MP X-E5 for my vintage lenses including XF35 1.4
Between this XT5 and the previous XT4, which do you think would behave better at high isos? The new one with more modern technology but a 40Mp sensor or the old one with older technology but a 26Mp sensor? Thanks.
Even I am eagerly waiting for answer to this
Great time for Aps-c shooter. Tonnes of options both in cameras and lens.
Hope fuji doing well and continue to bring kaizen improvement to older existing camera. Quote : just because it works, doesnt mean it cant be improve.
X-T5 will be the best selling Fujfilm camera for the coming 3 years.
What is the benefit of releasing the H2 with the 40MP when this XT5 is there... I think Fujifilm is making a mistake with trying to appeal more to photographers with XT5 when they already have the XPro line. Regarding the fun dials, they could have reworked the XPro line with that and made the XE line more premium. This XT5 doesn't seem too much of an improvement over the XT4 when the 4 has more hybrid capabilities and vertical grip.
Edit: I usually support more options for the consumer. But when one brand releases too many products that work similarly they tend to artificially restrict some of the features in lower end models. So far that's mostly been film simulations for fuji line. They have been good at updating firmware but have slowed down. With more products I am concerned about their ability to continue supporting previous models. Not expecting them to provide firmware for XT2 but if this continues then I suspect the XT4 won't have the same firmware life span as the XT2 line did.
Really waiting for the XH2 or XT5 full review, interested to get an in-depth review for that new sensor from DPreview
We’re testing a production X-H2 in the lab right now, stay tuned!
Really interested in low light and dynamic range capabilities compared to the xh2s. Those would be the tiping points for me. Though that crop on xt5 video modes is already sad :/
The new APS-C still photo champion? I forgot this thing was real and was coming this month. Well done, guys!
kinda agree with Fuji approach. Before I thought that I will shoot photos and videos with my current X-T2, but after using it, I hardly using it for videos. X-H2 may suitable for hybrids shooters.
The tilt screen is the best thing Fuji did since the XT3 - should've been on the XH2 as well
I'm a bit ocd and the nose prints and grease constantly on the screen drive me nuts. Given the oppertunity I'd keep the thing turned in pretty much constantly
Awesome video, I got XT4 from past 2 years now
I think that 40+ MP non-stacked sensors make more sense as photography-oriented cameras rather than all-rounders (which is how the X-T line was historically positioned). The only one of the current crop of such cameras that clocks out fast enough to have "reasonable" rolling shutter is the R5, but it pays a hefty thermal price for that (literally) blazing-fast clock-out. I say this as somebody who owns an R5 and an A7Riii, and has shot/rented several other such high-res bodies.
Obviously stacked high-res sensors as in the A1 (which is my main camera these days) and Z9 can escape some of these tradeoffs, but even the A1 is somewhat compromised for video inasmuch as you have to drop to Super35 to get good 60 fps footage.
At 8:36, DPReview displays the X-T4 Aspect Ratio options. Does anyone know if the X-T5 has the same Aspect Ratio options? I recently purchased a used GFX-50R...specifically for its 65:24 panoramic aspect ratio and the rangefinder feel of a Digital X-Pan panoramic camera! 🙂
As an X-T3 owner, I can't wait to scoop up a great deal on a used X-T4 when those flood the market. IBIS and flippy screen here I come!
Me immediately waiting for the x-e5 announcement 👀
Yes! I love that tilt screen!
I personally also think an articulating screen makes the most sense. Now if only they could bring back the D-pad on the new X100 series camera..
I'm gonna buy one of these. Deffo the silver one. Can't wait to see if this new sensor will give me more detail on my heavily cropped macro shots.
