    what I like the most is that when I became a Fujifilm photographer, I noticed that I don't have to shoot in raw format, thanks to the film simulations. everyone else has also liked the fact that they get the pictures practically immediately for themselves without any editing. of course there are always exceptions. 😊

      Yep, I used to take RAW pictures, like everybody else. But the simulations are so good, editing can’t get it much better done. I safe a lot of time and nerves!

      Then, buy not the fuji 2.8 zoom. The thing is huge and heavy, the quality is superb, but when the apperture ring miss of the sigma 18-50 2.8 is ok, its nice and small.
      I have the tamron 17-70mm 2.8 and that comes close to the fuji in weight (is a bit lighter), on my xt4. I use it less often, because its tiring to walk around with it, as i more hold onto the lense than the body.

      can vouch for this one too! Shot both the 16 and the 55 funnily did a comparison today. The sigma is truly a great lens as long as you dont mind using one of the rotating dials for ss and dont shoot all to much wide angle work

    I love my xt5, a. step up from my XT2 & xt20. Film sims are great. I use the 35mm a lot and for a zoom 18-135 gives me all the focal range when travelling. There is a 50mm Zeiss macro which is superb and doubles for travel as well. I agree, the Fuji cameras are just fun to use, makes one want to go out & take pictures.

      I also have a X-T2, but the autofocus is quite disappointing to shoot animals. Do you think with the new firmware the X-T5 is competitive in comparison with other brands and worth the money? I also would like to know the opinion of other people here, including Samuel.

    Hot take - the smaller lenses are key to these Fuji cameras - the bigger lenses are fucking amazing, but even my larger primes for the x-mount have a whole different feel. Check out the 27 2.8 and the 18 pancakes, and the 35 1.4. I like those more than the f2 lenses, and they are smaller.

    Wow, the 50mm is unreal. My fave of the three although they are all good. I was using LR but switched to Capture One. I'm finding it to be much better for my XT3 files. No artifacts, colours from the simulations on the RAW are on point, needs much less work than Adobe. Images look a step up.

XT-5 in silver is beyond beautiful but the price is too much for me for an APC-S camera. XS-20 seems amazing but isnt weather sealed which is a big concern for me.

    Have you tried the Viltrox 75mm 1.2? It’s kind of incredible imo. Sharp at 1.2 (even on 40mp) and it’s only $550. I know it’s a “portrait lens” but it’s good for many kinds of subject photography.

    The buffer issue is because of the super large file size, If you want to shoot CH with improved buffer try reducing the file size - shoot with lossless compression or compressed file size - This will give you way better buffer. The new Heif image files are great too, they hold more details than jpegs with smaller file size

    Mr. Elkins, would you please tell me how much you get out of this camera compared to your previous Leica Q2? I shoot whole squares, shopbuildings on a row and vistas. Does it have enough dynamic range to still pull up details in the shadows of say the bark of a tree when shooting a vista in comparison with the Leica Q2? How close does it get?I really, really would like to know this before overspending on a second hand Leica Q2 with my tiny income. The other option next to te 40MP APSC Fujifilm sensor should be the next hopefully 33MP full frame sensor of the coming Nikon Z6 mark 3. All a huge purchase for me…

    I also have the FX 40-150mm with which I use on a X-T4.(70mm-200 full frame,ish)
    Would the extra mega pixels of the X-T5 counter the loss of reach.
    The ideal length for what I shot would be 100-300mm F2.8 at Full Frame.
    So the 100-400mm is a little long on the short end and over the top for the long end.
    Canon have just bought out a beautiful 100-300mm f2.8 but at £12500 its a wee bit out of my reach.

    I used to shoot Fuji. Went from xt1 to xt3 and then xt4 before deciding to leave Fuji. It just never satisfied.

    Why does EVERYONE have those stupid red bobble things hanging off their straps? Before it was "rope" straps, before that vintage straps... then the gold shutter buttons, before that RED shutter buttons... all fads, all fashions.

      Peak design stuff is fantastic but it does seem that everyone on RUclips has their stuff.

    Thanks for the review! The frequent intense vocal fry makes it a bit hard to listen to, just a heads up

    It's X-T5 not XT5. You might get better exposition by writing the product name correct ;-)
