AGAIN. DON'T BE DUMB. Scammers continue to pretend to be me and use Telegram to try to get $$ from you. You didn't win anything. Sorry.
I didn't win?Its ok,better luck next time!😉
Someone just pulled that crap on me with my comment a few moments ago. These people should have their fingernails and toenails pulled out slowly in the public square on pay-per-view.
I always report
It was so obvious. That sucker pirating your YT account told me I had won a Nikon Z6 II!!! If he had really been you, the gift should have been a Fujifilm!!! 😅
But Omar! I feel like I won lol
Received my silver XT5 yesterday and I couldn’t be happier it is the XT that I have always wanted. The resolution hike is quite distinct. The IBIS maybe only slightly better in the figures quoted than the XT4 but in practice it is a lot better and I am a shaky old 70 year old so it is much appreciated. Focussing shutter EDV & LCD much improved and the answer to any serious stills photographer the tilt screen is back. One of my biggest gripes about the XT4. Also the ibis/OIS conflict with my 70-300 is gone and the zoom now nails focus which it did only intermittently with the 4. My 16-80 was a fine lens but now after using the 16-55 last year is matching that fine heavy beast for image quality but of course better range.Happy old chap here. At last I got what I have wanted after 50+ years of photography.
Hello dear I would like you to help me with something: is it true this fuji model is made in China? is it yours? does it matter? What opinion do you have? is it a sure model to buy? thanks
Can't wait to upgrade my XT3 to the XT5. I'm thrilled this geared toward photographers and not videographers. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never ever take video with my camera. I use my iPhone for that if I need video. I love the dials, the vintage style, the feel in the hand, etc. What I'm looking forward to is the IBIS and higher res. Nice video Omar. I enjoy your channel.
I upgraded my XT3 to the XT5 whilst I could still get a decent trade in value. I have used my XT3 a lot over the last 5 years or so!
I have learnt a great deal about photography and how to use my XT3 from RUclipsrs (like you, thankyou, and Chris on Pal2Tech, what a guy!, Dan Bailey and John Peltier etc. all troopers).
Recently I have started printing out some of my XT3 photos on A3 sized prints and have been amazed at the detail, usually taken with a 55-200 lens. The bar has been set very high, especially as I'm mostly a walkaround photographer. I LOVE the results!
Now it's time to start again with my XT5. So far I have had mixed results. The BEST ones are much better, there's just something rather magical about them...the others are OK, and that's more than just OK, they're as good as the ones from my XT3. I can't decide if they are twice as good, the XT5 cost twice as much as the XT3, but at least they are not worse (a great relief as I loved my XT3).
Who knows, I might try printing in A2 now and see what happens, it's all very exciting!!!.
BTW, I only shoot JPEG Fine, these cameras are like mobile Lightroom devices once you get to know them, and I'm not doing this to make my living, just having fun, and lots of it!
Bless you Omar, keep on keepin on, you're a star in the firmament...
Peter
I have an X-T4 and will probably stick to this model for a long time as it stands unique in the X-T line, and fulfills exactly my needs. I use the video capabilities professionally and the flip screen is a must there. Additionally I love to take my camera with me to business trips, and the X-H series would be too big for that.
Same
Agreed. As a video shooter the X T4 is great. g
Me too. The screen on the XT5 is a deal breaker as it seems to be cheap and breaking easily as well as other build quality issues.
You are the only youtuber that I click 'like' even before playing the video.
Love the XT5. Love the review. Love you too Omar!
X-T5 is the body I've been waiting for to upgrade from my X-T20. Really pleased with the return to photography focus and the increase to 40 MP!
The comedic value of this video is off the charts. 😀"Elusive silver foxes". Thanks for a great overview!
It's great surprise that they back to screen rotation like in XT2 and XT3. It the best type of tilting screen for photos I ever used. It's a really good decision.
Thanks fior the initial impressions. To answer your question as a XT4 user. Do I need 40Mp? No, Would I like the return to the three way screen, and have improved AF and battery life,? Yes. Do I like the smaller, lighter body? Yes. Coming full circle, do I need a XT5? No. Do I desire one? Yes. Placed my order this afternoon!
Man, your videos are the best. Almost like top gear series in automobile world :) minimal of tech specs, lot's of humor. Mmm yammy xD
This is the first announcement that made me want to upgrade since I got the X-T2! It looks amazing and those 40 megapixels would be great for bird photography and croping when the focal distance was not enough zoom!
Me too! Still rocking an XT-2 and still love it. But this new XT-5 has got me interested in a possible upgrade in the future...
agreed ,, X-T3 and 2 are not enough difference .. This will be a nice camera.
Same gonna be my xt2 upgrade
Same! XT2 user here, it is sitting on my desk.
@@giselesmith7795 Abosulutely, I'm also interested in a future upgrade to an X-T5, when the price drops a little
Pre-order done~! Exactly what I was hoping for - a body more like X-T3 with the 3-way screen, IBIS, better eye AF…. Don’t need it but want it and won’t even bother trying to justify the purchase! Excited!
I want it, Omar, I have the X-T4, but...Just for these 4 fixtures, I'm going to buy: --> The 40MP, the 120 ISO, the AF, the 4:2:2 10-Bit, the 160 Pixel Shift Multishot, and the Tilting Touchscreen LCD!
Glad the screen goes back to what the photography god intended.
Praise the tilt!
@@chloescanlon1107: the selfie screen is great for self-portraits, though.
I used that feature and a BT remote on my A7 IV with 5 sec photo preview to shoot myself in a home studio flash setup.
I agree, but I disagree. I like the fully articulated screen simply for the fact I can turn it around and hide it because I never use the screen.
@@chloescanlon1107 speak for yourself chloe…
Should’ve copied A7Rv screen. Best of both worlds
I’m definitely going to upgrade to the XT5 from my XT3, and as a stills shooter who loves the ergonomics and small size of the XT3, this is a perfect camera for me. IBIS, more film sims, better battery life, tilt screen, higher res and improved shutter with better AF, but still nice and light weight, I’m really excited. I shoot professionally as a portrait and family photographer and will likely keep my XT3 as a backup body, so having a similar feel in hand will with familiar controls, dials and buttons be a great thing when switching between bodies. XT5 is going to be perfect for me.
You stole the words right out of my mouth. Same situation with the X-T3, although I’m tempted to sell it and buy an X-trans 1 sensor body as my low light/light carry camera.
Great to see you being invited to these events FINALLY
I’ve watched both of your videos regarding the megapixel comparisons. Even on my iPad, the difference in detail is immediately apparent. The details, even when only slightly zoomed in, is obvious. Especially in textures.
Really enjoy your relaxed way of presenting...so smooth.
Hey Omar, thanks for your thoughts on the Fujifilm X-T5 camera. I currently use the Fujifilm X-T1 and X-H1 cameras and love the Gen 2 and Gen 3 sensor's color rendition and cinematic aesthetic. I completely agree with your assessment of Fujifilm's older sensor output and wish they would bring back this gorgeous color palette. However, that's just wishful thinking on my part as it seems the trend is for more and more megapixels. I will definitely not be upgrading as I love my older Fujifilm cameras and their beautiful files. Thanks so much for the great content Omar.
Just got my brand spanking new X-T5. Already I'm in love!!!
I like that the screen is tilting and not flipping out!
I love watching the Fujifilm presentations that include the “clay” design studio and that discuss their overall design philosophy. It’s in line with their parallel focus on the color science (and art) reminiscent of their legacy film types. I’ve enjoyed several of the X and GFX product lines, but the classic dial arrangement of the XT cameras is still my favorite. The XT-4 is already brilliant, but the improved ergonomics (including the easier to find AF button), faster processor allowing improved autofocus, and the increased resolution make the XT-5 a worthwhile upgrade. I’ll be up at midnight 11/16. I’ve grown to like the articulating (fold-out) screen, especially for its ability to fully close, but I’ve always enjoyed the flip-up design as well. Hey, Leica M, Q and SL bodies still use fixed screens, which also work fine.
Just can’t wait to put my hands on one.
I have the X-T20 and I've been recently torn between the X-H2 and the X-T4, problem solved now :) I am still eyeing a possible X-Pro4 as well. All in all, happy with what Fuji has been doing, 3 impressive bodies in one year is no small feat!
same boat xt20 owner and xt3 wasnt that big of an upgrade, xt4 is too big and i prefer tilt screen. xt5 litterally hits all boxes for me
Loved the video as akways. Just placed a pre-order for the X-T5 after watching this. Excited about the new sensor. Looking forward to comparing it to the R5 sensor to see the difference. Loving all this new camera tech.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Everything I was asking for when I was thinking about upgrading my X-T2 to the 4 which never happened. The 3 way tilt screen, IBIS, better tracking in a smallish package. Sign me up this Christmas
I think this is what we were all hoping the XT-4 was going to be and it's nice to see Fujifilm get back to that with the XT-5. Coming from an XT-3 currently, I don't feel the need to go out and pre-order one but it's nice to know the option is there down the road should i need more megapixels, IBIS, bigger battery etc.
You need more megapixels if you work as a pro photographer. To print your photos for your job, at least for an exposition. To print a poster, or to have your photos displayed on a big screen. Or if you want to crop your photos and take only a part of them. Otherwise, it's useless or doesn't make any sense if you are just someone who takes photos during your holidays or something like that.
@@NetTubeUser For sure. I'd describe myself as an advanced hobbyist, certainly not a pro by any means - that's why I don't need the megapixels at the moment. I've done some paid gigs like weddings/engagements/senior pics but I mostly shoot for myself. The only printing I'm doing is for my own house and if a friend or family member wants a framed print or something.
@@joemash4193 Yes. And it all depends on the format (size) you want to print your photos. I'll give you an example with 6240x4160 pixels in 72, 150, 240, and 300 PPI with the X-T4. In 72PPI: 86.6x57.7 inches / 150PPI: 41.6x27.7 inches / 240PPI: 26x17 inches / 300PPI: 20.8x13.8 inches. So, as you can see, it's big already. And today, you can even resize your photos with AI if you want, with "Topaz Gigapixels" for example. So, yeah ... it's BIG ... really BIG Haha!
I just pre-ordered the X-T5 this morning. This camera will be replacing an older, wonderful X-T3. The primary reason for the upgrade - IBIS. Now I can use my XF 16-55 2.8 lens without having to mount it on a tripod or dial up the shutter speed. Thanks for the great video!
What a relief to finally get an X-T3 upgrade. Ahhhhh.
Good to see the Silver Foxes get a high-res upgrade.
Definitely love the 40mp upgrade. I crop a lot, so extra detail will be nice.
I preordered one in black. I had the X-T1, loved it. Had the X-T2, converted one to IR when I got the X-T3, which is my favorite camera of all time. One quibble with the X-T3 is the way I shoot, the Q button seriously gets in my way. Not sure if the Q button in the X-T5 is too close to the rear dial, that might be the only thing that kills this new camera for me. I would have preferred a more modest megapixel upgrade, maybe to 32 megapixels but the 7-stop IBIS will help tremendously in allowing me to leave my tripod in the car more often as my main workhorse lens is the 16-55 f/2.8, which is not stabilized. Most of my photography is done in low light and I am glad that the base ISO has been lowered further. Hoping the smaller pixel size won't impact my low-light work. The smaller size and the chonkier battery are welcome changes for me coming from the X-T3 and I will find a Smallrig L-bracket/grip to use like I've had since the X-T2 to improve the ergonomics. All in all, pretty excited to get my hands on this one.
Another thorough, level-headed (pre-)review. The X-T5 looks so sweet! I almost pulled the trigger on an X-T4 a couple weeks ago. Glad I waited! Though, I’ll probably try to grab an X-T4 from someone who’s upgrading. 😜
You don't mind losing the flip out screen? - that's kind of a dealbreaker for me.
So glad the 3 axis screen is back! This is more tempting to return back to Fujifilm for me!
"If it ain't broke than keep it around longer" is my favorite line of the day. 😀😀
The screen and video improvement sold it to me! Definitely upgrading this from my xt4
I got an ad for a Cadillac X-T6 before this video. Also the beginning was hilarious 😂
Before XT5 announced, I was going to upgrade my XT20 to XT3. The only reason XT4 isn't in my list, mainly because its' flippy lcd screen. I'm only into photography and I don't do videos, so I have no purposes using that feature. Glad Fujifilm has decided to bring back the tilt screen, I can't wait to have XT5 officially sell here in my country 😊
Wow. This looks like a really owesome camera!
Tooooo much value out of this video,humor,info,everything!I hope X100 VI has this screen and the 40MP for zooming on the go!
I always thought the X-T3 was the peak of the X-T line and I have not seen any reason to upgrade, but now, with the X-T5, I'm in lust again! (However, I don't really need 40 MP.)
And I agree with you about the older sensors. I have an X-T3 and ... hm ... two X-E2's and the latter actuallt sees the most action. I luuuv shooting b/w with the X-E2!
Hey Jacob, I thought so too about XT3 being so good! I tried the XT4 and it is MACHINE - with focus and burst, speed to click and accuracy.
I have been, on occasion, left wanting for better AF features - subject, focus point tracking, etc - which is making me consider an upgrade!
Many regard the X Trans II sensor as magic, which the XE2 has I believe, and having tried the XT1, i know why!
Totally agree 👍🏻
Have a X-T10, X-E2 and a X-T3. B&W with the X-E2 is fabulous. It's my 'Noir' camera, where Omar got me really enthusiastic about B&W and street photography.
Personally not much of a vlogger so I'm happy with what I have. Just sold my 27mm pancake a couple of years ago. Not my best decision 😞
@@frank1022 Yes, the 27 mm is nice.
I love it. Barring any surprises, I’d eventually upgrade from my 4 for the smaller size, the improved AF and the tilt screen, which I prefer over the flippy screen. BUT…if they can port improved face detection to the 4 via firmware, I’d feel no need to upgrade.
I could live without the 40mp, but hey, I'll "tolerate" it just for the IBIS, smaller size and practical photo to video modes. Anyone want a superb condition XH1 and XT1 decked out with extras? haha. I LOVE them both, but this T5 having IBIS and being smaller for my smaller hands is most ideal for me. Thank you Mr. Gonzalez, your video comparisons are exactly what I've been wanting to see!. You're the best!
I've always loved the X-T3 style tilt screen and I guess it says a lot that Fuji went back to it after the X-T4. I don't shoot tons of video with the X-T3 but now that the settings are saved going to video and back to photo mode is going to make a lot of folks happy. I'll likely wait and see how much better auto focus is, to me that's where Fuji has always needed to improve.
Your video settings are also saved on the XT3. Just turn on: Silent Movie Control ON
Sure will upgrade. I like large prints and doing that on a small camera saves one from going big to get the same benefit.
Everyone upgrade and let's keep Fujifilm happy.
go go and purchase XT5, approved Omar!!!
Thanks for the great overview. After shooting with the X-T3 for almost four years, this seems like an obvious upgrade and I pre-ordered right after the announcement. I'm not a professional, simply looking to enjoy myself when I go out shooting (street, travel, some landscape) and Fuji is just plain fun. Side note, with the silver top on the camera, almost every trip someone will ask if I’m shooting film. 😊
Thanks, Omar. I'll be sticking with my X-T3s for a bit longer. As a stills only photographer, 26mp is more than enough (still shoot with my old 16mp), so I have no need or interest in bigger files to store and clog processing.
It's a bummer it won't have a battery grip, because the Fuji grips rock. I will probably (90%) upgrade from my X-T3. Even though I'm still using X-H1 for my workhorse.
This is the 1st camera in the X-T line that does NOT offer the battery grip. I do not need the additional megapixels of the X-T5 but do appreciate some of the newer features. The lack of a battery grip killed the deal for me as I have no interest in the X-H2 or X-H2S.
Ordered mine and cant wait using it!
Omar, I'm like you, waiting for an X-T40/50. Because the easier your gear is to grab and go, the more often you'll shoot.
But after watching this video (thanks, by the way👍🏻), I made the decision to jump from my beloved X-T2 to that new sexy slim X-T5!!!
Excited to watch the XT5 first impressions & review ;))
Can't wait for the x-t6
Thank you Omar. I owned an XE4 for about 16 months and recently I have been thinking to change it for an XT3, however I might be waiting for the price of the XT5 to go down a bit and then upgrade. Thanks for the video
Yes same is happening with MFT cameras. GH6 is now larger than a full frame camera. So is this XT-5 which defies the purpose of having a smaller sensor APS-C camera in the first place.
Great preview of the XT5! Currently shooting with my new Nikon Z7ii and have 2, XT4 bodies and 1 XT2 as a back up to my back up. I went to sell it to recoop some $$$ from investing in the Nikon system but man, that XT2 is just special! So I will most likely unload an XT4 body and shoot with two different systems which is not what I typically do. XT5 does not tempt me at all but it might if I didn't just get the Z7ii. I shoot a mix of headshots, portrait, wedding, events, architecture, theatre. So each has it's purpose. I LOVE the flip screen on the XT4 mainly to keep it closed inward to protect the screen since I rarely use the external screen! It really looks like a film camera with the whole camera back the same as the body. Anyway, just on here rambling about gear stuff. Love your videos!!
I got the xt2 and kinda stopped keeping up with releases over the past few years so I didn’t experience the video-centric fuji xt cameras. Glad to see them listening to customers!
This intro was amazing Omar ahaha
Great releases from Fuji. Funny enough I think this puts the X-T4 kind of in a sweet spot between those who want some XH features in a XT body. I.e. flip out screen, video and a battery grip. I’ll hold on to my X-T4 for a little longer due to that.
Finally, a proper screen is back 😁
The XT-4 had one feature that I wanted, IBIS, but it wasn't quite compelling enough for me to upgrade from the XT-3. This is a pretty compelling package though. It's nice to see Fuji still coming out with competitive products in the APS-C segment. I got the XPro 1 and XT-3 specifically because I didn't want to carry around a full frame body (or more importantly full frame glass). I'm probably going to upgrade this generation. I'm curious if my old lenses can fully take advantage of the 40MP sensor. Thanks for the always informative and entertaining content Omar!
I did go on a trip to oregon and did not like the images on my xt-3 i just felt like i needed the extra megapixels.
7 months later, i bought a sony a7rii and the images i got in another trip (this time in Washington) were great for cropping/ making wallpapers /sharp. Im pretty sure the xt5 will make a lot of landscape photographers happy. Excited
Pre-oredered it - my X-t3 is getting very worn, time to make it a backup.
I chose a 2ndhand X-T3 over the X-T4 when upgrading from my X-T20, because I am a photographer with no interest in video. I get why every RUclipsr is obsessed with video, but I really don’t care. I had the flippy screen on my Canon DSLR, it’s great, but for walk around photography and street, the flippy screen is better. You also feel less paranoid about accidentally breaking it off. The w things I would have loved from the X-T4 was the larger battery and especially the IBIS. The restI preferred the X-T3. And frankly the battery has been just fine for me, occasionally I exhaust the battery and quickly swap
I love my XT2 but need ibis as I get older but am afraid of the 40 megapixel file size.✌🏻
Same!
I’m excited to get one. I had the xt3 but moved on to Nikon Z full frame bodies and the GFX ….but definitely missed the the form factor and the FUN factor. I’m glad they got rid of the video centric rear screen. The 40 megapixel upgrade to the sensor is awesome. Can’t wait to get one ! The xh2 I’m sure has better ergonomics and closer to that workhorse bigger grip,SLR style which I have in the Nikon but I really missed having an XT body for street and as a daily carry….yea I’m excited ! Great review as usual
I did exactly the same but no GFX, had an Xt3 then went to Z, if my XT3 had Ibis , I never would have sold it. I think I will get the XT5 for portraits, street and smaller travel trips !!
@@DECKARD263354BR yea I loved the XT-3 but wanted full frame for low light, ibis, and more megapixels in the Z7. I really missed it. The XT-5 looks amazing. The x series bodies are great and fun to use. When I had the XT-3 I always had it with me. The Z7 stays home way more often. Can’t wait to get one
I still shooting with my X-E1 and love it and will never sell it but I will buy X-T5, it looks to be a great camera.
The XT5 is a perfect upgrade from my XT3. Preordered it!
I was very fortunate to Pre-order this morning from B&H. I m a hobbyist who shoots scapes and wildlife. My lineup includes EM1 MIII, CANON RP, and my favorite XT 3. The EMI as I’m certain you know has IBIS onboard and good tracking, thus kicking the XT3’s butt when I’m targeting flying waterfowl. Thus because I love the retro design, and the flip screen design, I hemmed and hold, over purchasing an XT 4 and then again the recently released XH 2….. Decisions…DECISIONS…. ultimately I was fortunate to lock onto FujiRumors…… and thus with their leaky rumors I waited …. Immediately after FUJI JAPAN went live with the announcement I called B&H and preordered. I’m now a happy camper as Fuji Japan announced that they were in production and expected to begin shipping by November 17th. Now the wait begins…..but there is light at the end of the tunnel and time to consider which of my present stablemates will be going unto EBay in order to make room for this hobbyist dream come true…..Thanks as always…. You are a true upbeat joy to watch…. RustyIronMike
Also the 40MP sensor has a little bit better dynamic range than the 26MP which is great for landscape.
Would love to see an X-T40 or 50 with IBIS.
XT3 + XT5 combo is probably any Fuji Users wet dreams!
Hey Omarrrr... good to see your opinion. I upgraded from the XT20 to the XT3 in 2022, so I think XT5 will definitely be on the cards, in 2025 ;)
Fuji has been doing incredible stuff recently. It's been my favourite travel cam, but I think XT5 is overkill for my specific needs. For my commercial work, which is mainly video, I have a Lumix S1 (and adding a S5 to that mix soon). That system serves me well, and has superb video-focused lenses. For travel, I would absolutely upgrade from my XT20 with Fuji brought a XT40 or XT50 with either the 26 MP sensor, or the 40 MP sensor, and added - 1. 4K 10 bit internal video, even if capped at 15 min for 30 FPS or with a crop at 60 FPS, and 2. IBIS. The IBIS alone would be enough to get me to upgrade to that model. I love the X-H series' features, but I miss my dials and I want them in a mini sized body.
This is just what I've been looking for for adverse conditions travel. Recently hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain with my XT-4 and only a 23mm f2. Needed water resistance due to being a very rainy area, so the XT-30 could not fit the bill. I did not enjoy the extra weight, though, and the flippy screen was awkward, and eventually beat up my eyecup until I had to rip it off. ( it was a replacement cup that was bigger and always got knocked by the incoming flippy screen). I've traded in both my XT-30 and XT-4 and will go with one camera. Enjoyed your thoughts more than many vloggers who had greater access to the camera.
that’s incredible, i’ve been thinking about that hike for awhile now, which route did you take and how long did it take you? Also how did you stay charged along the hike and did you have the xt4 around your neck at all times during the hike?
@@joefratt Hi, Joe, we took the Norte route which we completed in 37 days. It was not hard to keep the large NP-235 battery charged as it never ran out with a day's shooting ( though sometimes my energy did). I charged the battery directly in the camera using a USB-C charging cable to avoid carrying a separate charger ( every gram of extra weight is a problem) I carried an extra battery but never used it. I tried different clips ( peak design and one other model) but found that the clips damaged my clothing and it was not that hard to carry the camera just off to one side on a normal camera strap.
@@ebouwens wow awesome thank you so much for the info!
@@joefratt I hope you get to do the Camino soon.
@@ebouwens thank you! i’ll let you know when the day comes i venture out! hopefully this year
Ready for Fuji camera knockout 2023!
I'm coming from using an XT-3 and I am more interested in the IBIS than any other feature. I still own my XT-1 and love it to this day, but I will be getting the XT-5.
Great announcement, features etc. Glad Fuji is returning to their roots. If they release an XT-50, I’m there. Please Photo gods make an XT-50 next. 😊
40MP requires lenses which can use all those pixels properly. And such a glass is really expensive, I'm not talking about 23mm f2 here, it is more like an exception, but overall, I don't think, I would upgrade to XT-5...
I love my X-S10, it has the same sensor as xt-4, maybe slightly downgraded by the firmware, I'm not sure, but it really works well in terms of the price, body size and the results in photos.
LOL loved the intro. Super pumped to get the X-T5 in my hands. It's the best of both worlds - that X-H2 sensor and AF with the X-T3 body style (even smaller!)
I'm glad that Omar explicitly mentioned that the battery grip interface is gone from the bottom of the camera. That is a great point! That interface on the X-T series was ugly and the potential for losing the cover was a big con for me. It made me feel a little joyful when Omar pointed out that it was gone. 👍🏾
I want one! But I love my XT2 so only if it does better bird photography
I just pre-ordered my XT-5 -- upgrading from my T3. Practically all the new features (resolution, video specs, screen resolution, IBIS, more film simulations, familiar size and form factor.. and the 3-way screen) were factors in this decision. My only modest disappointment was the lack of dedicated headphone jack for video, but adapters and 3rd party gear can (fairly) inexpensively handle any missing video features.
More megapixels also means smaller granulation size, which has a good impact on high ISO quality.
I've been shooting an XT-2 since they came out and for the most part it's been perfect... Except for the lack of IBIS, modern focus performance and a small battery. I normally carry 4 of them when I go out and the last time I was in Spain, I'd go through all of them in a simple walk around Toledo. When the XT-3 came out I didn't feel there was enough there to merit an upgrade. Then the XT-4 came out but it had the flippy screen and that made it a no go for me. Now the XT-5 answers all of my issues plus a 40MP sensor. What's not to like?
I really do not understand how anybody can count flippy screen as negative
If you are a photographer and not a self absorbed TikToc / Blogger then the last thing you need is a screen that has to hang off center, prone to breakage, and getting in the way of mounting equipment all so the aforementioned bloggers can rest assured that every camera in the universe is inflicted with their obsession. That is why some people think it's a negative.
Thanks Omar 👍
really tempted by x-t5 not only for its photo specs, but also for its video specs: if you want to learn video and color grading "on a budget" (well, sort of...) now you can have a small beast with 10 bit 4:2:2 SD card recording and no need for external recorders
This camera has made me excited about Fuji again. As someone interested primarily in event and street photography (the tilt screen is a must!), I was seriously disappointed when the vlogging/video-centric X-T4 was released. Now there is finally a true successor to the X-T3. And, as someone who often crops quite heavily, I’m sure I can find a use for every single one of those megapixels 😁.
A good point about being stuck with a 40Mpx raw file format! That's going to eat SD card space as well as mass storage space and computer cycles processing it.
Still using my X-T20 with the 18-55, a Samyang 12 mm and some very old analogue lenses, some from the east of divided Germany in the 80's.
I've been thinking about to upgrade to X-T3 or X-T4, but now I know it was right to wait. Maybe X-T5 is my new camera.
Greetings from Germany
I wanted to buy xt4 but always felt not enough of an upgrade because it still uses the xtrans 4 sensor. I'll definitely save more for xt5 though cause this is a worthy upgrade for the xt line.
I would have preferred the 26mp stacked sensor in the x-t5 but overal a great release.
I used the X-T1 then X-T2 but I now use - and prefer the X-Pro2. I'd love an upgrade with the screen and focussing abilities of the X-T5. I’d be happier too with 24 - 30 megapixels. I’m starting to worry about my computers ability to handle 40 mp files.
Omar, love your vids (Jersey in the house!) XT-3 user here. Was going to wait until the XT-5 came out and look for a used T4, but the specs on the XT-5 look great and I think I might go straight to the XT-5....torn.
Thank you Omar!!! Yes, definitely I'll upgrade. I'll sell my X-T2 and I'll keep the X-T3 as second body.
i ll stick to my xt4 still going strong and happy with it.but i do like the improved AF and two axis screen
Another great video. I love the XT 3 because of the secret sauce...there is something magical about this camera that sets it apart from other brands with more MP etc. I can't wait to see actual user reviews to see if this also has the nostalgic sauce recipe. If so, then it will be a worthy addition as I don't think I would actually upgrade but rather keep the XT 3 as the XT5's trusty loyal companion.
broke college student here, i am really new to the fuji system but the fact that their image quality does not change even for their smaller cameras, in future i might just have an xh and xe system
Can't wait to see how xt5 in wildlife shooting, low light and astrophotography performance. :)
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.
Great video, Omar! I am definitely going to upgrade, but am torn over the XT5 or the Nikon Z6ii. I know you love your Z6ii, so have to ask if you have a preference. I currently have an XT2, and am 100% focused on stills, not video. Very tempted by what looks like incredible image quality of the Nikon. Appreciate any perspective!
On the same line. Except my current DSLR is a Nikon trash. Its really about what brand/lenses to choose and whether to go with aps-c for next years.
I'm on almost a 2 year mark with the XS10, first Fuji after Canon. I just hope I will be able to upgrade to the XT line in 2 months max as I don't do that much video and have never used the flippy articulated screen on the XS10, not even for self portraits, found the fuji xapp and a phone much more useful for that
