    Nice video, and thanks for sharing ! I'm running the X-T5 w/ the 27mm 2.8 and it's the best Fuji camera + setup I've ever had. The photos I'm getting are unreal.

    Glad you included the 14mm shots! Using my X-T5 for many things including air-shows and wild-life. 40mp give me more cropping ability for that. Also using it for car-shows and the extra detail from the 40mp shows. An all-rounder.

    Good Video, I have shot over 100,000 photos with my X-T5 and I can not think of a better camera for me. I absolutely Love it. From Family photos to Concerts, To sports, To Portraits To Landscapes..... It is as versatile as my photography is broad. Although I would really like if we could keep this on the DL (down Low) As If everyone realizes how great this is....... It is going to be harder to get than a X100. I plan on shooting the shutter off this thing and want to be able to pick up another body when the wheels fall off of this one. LOL

    Looking forward to the X-T4 comparison version!

    I had the X100v and I traded it in when I got my X-T5. Love it lots! I have been using it with the 18mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8. Yes I like it wide! Really this was my motivation for trading in my X100v but I do miss the smaller form-factor. Still the X-T5 is solid, works very well, and has become one of my favorite cameras.

    The XE1 and XT2 are still amazing and will keep on being so till they stop working. It's never the camera!

    Have you seen the X-T100’s screen? It’s basically the X-T4 and X100V(I)’s screen combined. Can’t technically do it all, like vertical orientation, but it can do the most. I wish Fuji would implement it again.

    I've had my X-T5 since soon after it's release and on one "real" photo centric vacation. Workds pretty good, but to be honest, the autofocus is the weakest point. Some unexplainable misses. Otherwise it's a perfect camera for me!

    • @desoriordan9515

      I use it in single point autofocus, boost mode, smallest focus square possible and rarely miss focus this way.

      ⁠@@desoriordan9515I agree. I’ve had the camera for a while now and made thousands of shots, including lots of action shots. I’ve come to the same conclusion. I don’t use any of the subject tracking modes on moving subjects. I think they’re somewhat flawed. Even just basic continuous focus mode without subject tracking is flawed especially for subjects that are coming quickly towards the camera. In burst mode, I’ll end up with lots of out of focus shots especially as the subjects get close. Single focus mode with a single focus point works pretty well, and I’m generally able to get what I want. I love the Fuji system, but their autofocus system is a well known issue. I wish they’d dedicate more resources towards fixing it. If I were a professional event or sports photographer, where autofocus speed and accuracy are critical, I wouldn’t use Fuji.

    I wish if it could be a full frame, then I'd not be hesitating to get one for my vintage lenses with their unique bokehs.

    @gripperharris 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    i use my xt5 for wildlife, so the 40mp and cropping come in handy, even when using my 100-400mm and a tc.

    • @fuelediowa
      @fuelediowa 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The 100-400 is such an amazing lens. I get some of my best photos with that lens.

  • @desoriordan9515
    @desoriordan9515 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The larger file size from the XT5 is a negative for me, 26MP is plenty but Fuji obviously thinks more MP is what sells. I honestly cannot see any major differences in image quality between the XT5 and XT3, but that's just me. I like the size and weight of the XT5 and think its possibly the best value for money Fujifilm camera available today.

    • @iamnicoalfonso
      @iamnicoalfonso 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I personally crop my photos to 2.35 x 1 or 65x24 ratios all the time and the extra MP of the 40 has been a god send.

      not only Fuji, pretty much all major camera manufacturers are coming up with higher number of MPs.

    The X-T4 always gave me weird feelings... it feels like it doesn't belong with other X-T cameras... I suspect that the base for the camera was originally the X-H2, but as the X-H1 flopped heavily, they changed the design and renamed it the X-T4.
    Think about it :
    X-Trans III having X-T2 / X-H1
    X-Trans IV having X-T3 / X-H2 (which would have been the name of the X-T4)
    X-Trans V having X-T4 (which would have been the name of the X-T5) / X-H3 (which would have been the name of the X-H2)
    That would have given a proper lineup for both the X-H and X-T cameras, correctly segmented the X-T as photography centric and X-H video centric versions of the same camera (kind of) and would have reduced the number of confused people : the X-T4 took pretty strong steps towards video (flippy screen, larger battery, IBIS) vs the X-T3, and everybody though the X-T line would be the Fuji flagship, that would also be a full hybrid. Then when the X-H2 dropped, a lot of people held off for the X-T5 and were then disspointed when they saw that it was going back to the photo centric body design of the X-T3, complaining that they now have to get a more expensive X-H instead. Properly separating the lines would have been a really nice thing for Fujifilm, that would have avoided a lot of frustration and confusion.
    Also when it comes to the video spoecs of the X-T5 : basically, it uses a higher resolution, slower reading out sensor than the X-T4. So you have access to 6.2K video (8K is reserved for the X-H2), which takes the same exact sensor area in 4K as it does in 6K, so you get a little crop if you want high detail 4K or 6K video. I think you can do less detailed 4K that is line skipped instead of oversampled, but takes the whole sensor, but don't quote me on that. In the 4K HQ and 6K modes, the rolling shutter is pretty heavy. Works fine for static shots, but you will notice the warping the moment there is a little bit of camera movement.
    Overall the sensor in the X-T4 is a much better match for video work. Unsurprisingly, that's the sensor that Fujifilm used in the video focused X-S20, which feels like the true successor to the X-T4 when it comes to video specs. The X-T5 is very much a photography camera with some decent video specs, but nowhere near the video workhorse that the X-T4 was and that people were expecting to get. This has sadly been replaced by the much more expensive X-H2S (or the X-S20, but that's a cheaper, smaller body, not really the same kind of rugged camera sa the X-T4 was)

    I'm not a skilled photographer but to me the lack of an articulating screen can make or break the camera. Recently I've been feeling like getting to try Ricoh GR3 but since I mostly shoot from a low angle (or rather, I typically go "eye level" with the object or slightly lower, which for low objects like plants can be literally millimeters off from the ground level) and with a wide lens, I can't imagine framing my shots with that sort of camera.

    • @olasek7972
      @olasek7972 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      not sure what you are talking about, I take low plant photos all the time with XT5 and the way the screen tilts - very easy.

    A screen like the Sony A7rV maybe?

  • @PhillipRPeck
    @PhillipRPeck 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As a video camera, the X-T5 is probably worse overall than the X-T4 because it has the 42mp sensor and a small, compact body--it only shoots in a 6.2K crop of the sensor in HQ mode and a pixel binned or line skipped 4K.

    Crappy AF. Not useable if reliable AF and tracking is needed. Reconfiguration is complicated, as there's no PASM dial to change a dozen of settings with one switch. So not great if someone needs flexibility and speed.

    fuji really have that maddeningly bad autofocus you always want to scream at, yet sometimes nails it and you go woohoo. just not in low lit places all the time.
