Over the past 11 months, I've put the Fujifilm XT5 through its paces, in professional settings, creative projects, and documenting everyday life. The Fuji XT5 allows you to have all the modern conveniences of a digital mirrorless camera and marries them perfectly with the tactile experience of the analog world. And unlike the ever-popular X100V, you aren't stuck with just one focal length. This camera is not for everyone, but if you're watching this video, chances are it probably is for you.

Your hair tho. Looks cool af.
Thanks bro
True!
were did you buy the mat your camera sites on?@@Reggiebphoto
Those family video clips were really astonishing, they evoked so much emotion in me! I especially liked the window silhouette and the last shot of your child looking outside the (train?) window. So inspiring!
I came here to see the review for the xt-5 review but got in love with your photography, very lovely family pictures! I am sure your kids will appreciate this in the future!
Greetings from Costa Rica! Pura vida
Am upgrading from my XT20! Love you review on the XT5. Your documentations on your family is really really beautiful. The joy on your kids … beautiful!
How has your X-T5 journey been so far? Just purchased mine!
Did you upgrade? Currently using the XT20 and wondering if I should do the same.
It’s lovely to see you boys having fun. The portrait of your son just after he’s playing with the car in the muddy water is great. I guess this is where your autofocus helps.
Great honest review and such a beautiful family❤
I’ve had my xt5 for 11 months and I love it! It is so light and I come away with some wonderful images. Thanks Reggie for your review. I may have to copy your settings and also use the digital teleconverter instead of cropping.
it only affects jpeg images. so you'll always have the raw for safety if you shoot jpeg + raw
I really got the x-t5. I'm loving it so far. I will be going home to see my family for Christmas after a very long time. I'm really looking forward to taking pictures and videos of my Nephew.
What a great video. Thank you. I’ve been balancing the decision XT4 to 5 and your presentation was helpful. And it was entertaining to boot.
What did you decide?
@@Reggiebphoto I’m getting the XT5 for sure. I enjoy the crop factor and increased pixel count. Lenses. Next issue. I want a pancake.
We really appreciate the effort you put in your videos to inform and entertain us.
Thanks for the appreciation!
Your videos are among the best quailty photography related content I've literally ever seen on TH-cam. It's a great mixture and balance of professional and personal content capturing the real essence and meaning of photography (according to my personal taste). You deserve waaaaay more subscribers! So starting +1, subscribing to your channel:) Thank you for the great content and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much 😀
Dude loved your video great review. Inspiring to document my family with video as well. Thank you.
Loving your videos, bro I was looking at some of your past stuff using some of your simulations right now keep it up!!!!
Oh really? What do you mean?
Super great review! Thanks, Reggie!
Nicely done video Reggie. I found your channel while looking for XT5 reviews since I'm about to get one. You just got a new sub. Well done! Take care!
Thanks for the sub!
Reggie aside from the video, you have such a beautiful family. That's what capturing the moment is all about.
This review is brilliant in every way. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. What stood out to you?
I've been loving the X-T5 so much. I've shot it for close to a year now and it's noticeably better at autofocus. I loved the flip screen from the X-T3 but the resolution wasn't great. The X-T4 screen looks great, but I didn't like the tilt swivel as much. The X-T5 isn't perfect but it includes everything I liked from previous Fuji cameras without losing the import functionality and character from previous models. It's a great camera for nearly any situation. Great video and nice photos as well. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Hey! Love the video, your last couple on the xt5 convinced me to upgrade, though I went xh2 to try something new.
The ch2 had a firmware update that lets you assign ISO to a dial, super cool!
Thanks for the content!
Yeah they didn’t address the xs10 tho - which is the camera I raised the issue to fujifilm on. What a shame
Really well put together video. I think i’ve moved to other camera systems but you are Fuji’s best salesman, whether they acknowledge you or not. PS, especially like those night shots you showed with a glow filter effect. Very cool look!
I’m not unfortunately. Cause I don’t get paid for the camera sales I bring them. And they didn’t really give me a reason to stay on as an ambassador.
Lovely family pictures 😊 and good video as well! Cheers
What a lovely video ;) Thank you, for your long-time review!
What did you find most valuable?
Great video by a Great Dad!!!
Awesome video. Love it. I have experience shooting with the X-T1, X-T3, X-T4 and X-H1. Awesome cameras all of them. Would love to find some mint ones one day and keep them all. Sold them when upgrading. I recently owned a X-H1 but it got stolen, autofocus was not so cool but i got some kickass shots with it. I will pick up a black Fujifilm X-T5 tommorow.m. Would have loved a silver one, but those are harder to come by. I will pair the X-T5 woth a 50-140 for now. Kind of big, but good thing i have it, shots with 140 look amazing. Big fujifilm fan and addict, love them. Thanks for the vid. Very inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I am still with my XT2. I try JPEG only for a few months but I am not really sure if it’s the best for me. I tested many Recipes but didn’t find the perfect one. But the camera still is amazing, looking good and produces amazing photos. The XT5 is way to expensive for me atm, but maybe in the future I will upgrade. Nice video and amazing photos 🎉
Great stuff Reggie! Been looking for a camera to document my life as well and you absolutely sold me with the experience of being able to do exactly that and also switch between photo and video as well. I'm in between this and the xs20 which I tried personally and love, but also I do like the dials and thinner design of the xt5! My only dilemma is I'm not sure If I'll regret not having a flip screen say if I fall in love with fuji and want to film all my stuff with it haha. Great review!
Use a monitor if you need to film yourself
Your photos are great. I’m thrilled with my X-T5.
Nice!
Great video mate. Great advice.
what advice did you find most helpful?
@@Reggiebphoto I like the simplicity and the no nonsense information. I own Xh2 and looking for a body that just takes photos. this helped me make the decision. I will use Xh2 only for videos.
Coming from xt10. This might have convinced me to get a big upgrade to xt-5. Awesome work with the review.
how is the upgrade?
I find the video to be an honest information of the camera w/out the hype. Thank you.
That’s the goal.
Very interesting and well-reasoned review, thanks for this.
What did you find most interesting?
@@Reggiebphoto All of it to be fair, but particularly the film sims (like you I mostly stick with out of camera JPEGs), the low light images not being impacted by the higher resolution, the fact you got used to the buttons. I'm researching the XT5 as my potential next camera, switching from Nikon, which is how I found it. I like your style too, very polished. Thanks again for your efforts.
Interesting Dial Setup … great video!
It was a must for weddings
So glad I traded my trusted XT-4 for the XT-5. Wow! I can crop so much more and the colors are super. I use the 15, 23, and 16-55mm lenses. So awesome! Thanks for the long-term review.
Thanks for sharing!
@ 8:05… congrats Reggie!…salute!
I just got one about 3 weeks ago to go along with my X-PRO3, Love this XT5, AMAZING little camera.
yes! what do you shoot with it?
@@Reggiebphoto I have all Fujinon primes.
23mm 1.4 older version, 35mm 1.4, 56mm 1.2, 80mm Macro 2.8, and when I ordered the XT5 I also got their new 8mm 3.5 lens.
No I meant what do you photograph with it
I really loved this review! I've been wanting to finally jump ship from my Canon 5D Mark III and upgrade to better AF and tech, plus I have 9 yr old twins I've been needing to keep up with with my photo/video opportunities!
My god, what a beautiful video. Incredible photographic skills on display plus perfect scripting for the cam talk. Big help. And cute kids. 👍🏽📸 Thinking now if it makes sense to add this to my stable of non-professional workhorses (x100v and Sony a7c).
I shared my thoughts in this video. The choice is yours
@@Reggiebphoto Thanks.
I switched from Sony to Fuji for the XT5, love it and I am never looking back. I love the form factor, colors, and lens lineup. Love what you shared about documenting family. It inspired me to bring my camera more.
Which sony did you switch from?
Second this question, because I’m debating to switch from my a7iii
Haha same, I'm shooting with the a7iii@@inwooyun
Going to do the same. Sony a7iii and a7iv. Not thrilled with either of them. I want a camera I can use without digging into menus.
I just sold my a7iii and wanting to get myself a xt5 ! 😊
I plan to buy this end of next year (2024), i feel it is about time, been saving slowly. I've had my XT3 for years now, it is still working awesomely no problem. Just slowly upgrading. And i can still keep my XT3 for 2nd kit with diff fixed lens.
Yup, the x-t3 is a great camera to have along side it.
Man what a wholesome video
Great video, thanks a lot!
At last, a non nonsense informative X-T5 video. I’ve had mine for about a month now (moving over from Nikon) and thought I was stuck with ISO 125; no longer. Also, I prefer front and back dials for ISO and SS.
100%!
Great to see your review as always. I haven’t touched my xt5 but I have occasional need for it as family asks me to do family portraits, makeup, etc and as a mom I am gonna need it for my kid’s school etc. what lens do you recommend for school events like concerts? I have the kit lens right now 18-55 f2.8. I really don’t miss the heaviness of Nikon and canon dslr’s and I’m not in the mood to jump the Sony bandwagon. Plus, having this compact xt5 doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable when I’m out shooting public
Hey Reggie, I'll give you my thoughts probably as a landscape photographer. I have used it for a few other things as well but the majority of my work is in landscapes. What can I say about the camera what do I love about it. I love the image quality. This thing is seriously tax sharp. I shoot often at about F9 to F11 and it's a really sharp camera. And while the retro dials are seen as a bit of a novelty for people outside the Fujifilm family as a landscape photographer they are a godsend because you can simply adjust things on the fly. While you're standing over your tripod, or with the camera in your hands. I love the simplicity nature of this camera, and it works really well in many situations. I am often shooting in blue hour and golden hour at the end of the day, and the low light performance of this camera is actually really good. You've just got to know how to correctly expose the photo with a crop sensor camera. With a full frame camera, you can just simply under exposed many images and still rescue them in post you can't do that with the FujifilmXT5, so, in many ways, the FujifilmXT5 has made me a better photographer again because I have to be conscious of light. Okay, I have done some other commercial work with it events people and so forth and I found it to be super reliable. Yes it does miss the odd shot but you'll find bar a Sony camera. Most camera brands are like this and the camera isn't perfect but for the majority of photos I've taken with it of people it's nailed probably about 90% of the shots to 95% I'm happy with that and if you're shooting in burst mode when you're shooting people, one of your photos is gonna be good so it's not a drama at all. I have also used some Nikon lenses on the XT5 as I have the adapter which is the better adapter and it works really well. In fact, I took some awesome sports photography photos of some surfers the other day with the 70 to 200 Nikon and it was an awesome camera to be honest. In that moment I thought wow I can actually do this with this camera and the images were Pin sharp what I would say about this camera is it's a really good all-round camera and to be honest I can't really fault it in too many ways I do wish that I had a slightly higher buffer rate, but you know what you can still burst off 10 or 15 shots over 3 second period and you're gonna get one or two photos that you can still use for what you need them for. Let's go back to the film days we shot sports with film cameras. yes No auto focus and we were still able to take great photos of sports and action with those cameras so this you could still take a great action shot. I think people today want the cameras to be perfect so they can just point it and click the button and I don't see the point in that. I still like it to be a skilful hobby. I love the sharpness of the files that come out of the Fujifilm, Max T5 that's what I really like and even when I push the ISO up to 1600 I still get pretty sharp, clean images and nothing that Lightroom den-noise can't fix anyway. I love the screen and the way it works. I don't use the viewfinder a lot but it's adequate a lot of people have complained that the viewfinder should've been better but the trade-off would be then the battery would die quicker. Yes if you have a more brighter EV then that means it uses more battery and your battery goes flat quicker for me I would rather have slightly less detail in the EV and have better battery life as a landscape photographer. Sorry if there's any typos, I use voice text and wanted to give it a longer review. I'm also part of the Fujifilm XT5 Photography page and on Facebook it's a great Community on that page and we all share a common love for this camera. If you go over to that page you will see the love that this camera has
Thanks for sharing!
Hello! This video was super helpful thank you so much, I loooveee your photos! I wondered what lenses you used for these photos?
I'm an amateur photographer and I had my old digital camera stolen which was Nikon, I've used film in the mean time but just with old cameras with fixed lenses. I want to buy a mirrorless digital camera especially as I am about to go travelling for a while, so want to get a transportable camera but then also a go-to for anything after I stop travelling, so felt like the XT5 might be a good option! Hoping to get 2 lenses, one small compact one, and one that's a bit bigger with more zoom for when I'm not travelling but I am unsure which ones to get!
I love my X-T5 and your love of your family through the prism of the X-T5 is obvious.
Thank you!
Love this, bro!
thanks for the support!
Amazing video! May I ask what shutter button you habe there? :-)
Or do you have recommendations?
with recent updates you can configure front dial iso on the XH2, that's how mine is set up currently. hopefully it comes to other models too!
100% - I have my xh2s set up that way now. But wish the xs10 got the same treatment
Great review, Reggie
Thanks Will!
Great video, Reggie - and since I've put your Portra film simulation in my X-S20, I've never changed it. Is amazing.
Two quick questions:
- You've used your Portra in all your kid's video parts?
- What lens do you usually use to document your family?
(dad of a 5 year old here - is my most frequent photo / video situation here)
For the video parts, I use a different recipe.
@@Reggiebphoto Could be a good subject for another video - I liked a lot the color of the scenes. :)
Hello 😊I have a few questions. I do food photography and videography and I'm wondering if this camera is good for shooting closeup food videos in low light? Also in chapter 4 did you use a lens or just the body to shoot these amazing photos? Thank you so much !!
Beautiful family ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Great Video Reggie!!!! I am thinking of changing my XT3 and I would like to know which would you recommend , the XT5 or the XH2?
All the best
I made a video on that
I agree with all points made on this video. The only thing that bugs me about my XT5 is that the screen feels a little loose
Seems the same compared to my x100v and the xt3 I had before. What are you comparing to
I owned a XT2 in the past couple of years and upgraded to Xt5 last year. Xt5 is undoubted a faster and more reliable camera comparing to xt2, and better in many aspects. However, sometimes I missed the Color produced by xt2 especially in Provia, which is a bit different in the two machines.
Yup, the minor color differences between sensors is definitely a factor. Love my x70 for this reason
I agree. I too have a XT2 and upgraded to XT5. 5 is not as enjoyable as 2. The colors are not that great, as well as the build quality. The only good part with 5 is the autofocus. Its much much improved.
Great review! I couldn't agree more about eye focus on toddlers. Coming from the X-H1, as long as you're using a capable lens, the X-T5 just gets out of the way.
The 56mm still frustrates me, though. It renders so beautifully, but my 3 year old still outruns the focus sometimes :)
It comes down to user skill at that point. It’s doable but gotta really know which modes for what situation - most often I’m in af-s single point and not in eye af
Amazing
Been thinking of getting the XS20. But now leaning towards this.
They’re both good.
I'm going to be a dad soon and I'm also looking to document stills and video of her growing up. The family part of the video really sold me. I'm gonna sell out of my Canon m6ii and pick of an X-T5 this week.
Check out this video too: th-cam.com/video/_V3x3lZ7tWA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9sJUMPaKU0qR1fgu
I went from XT30 to XT4 to XT5. The autofocus upgrade is immense and the size reduction from XT4 in the hand really made it feel like a perfect balance between the XT30 and XT4.
I find the camera continues to have more bugs than my other two cameras despite the firmware updates which are annoying. The camera sometimes seems to struggle between quick fire switches between photo and video when you need to do both which I didn't seem to have with the older cameras and I suspect it's the higher resolution sensor (and the larger files) slowing the switch down
Im sorry to hear you’re having those issues. I haven’t experienced them myself.
Awesome review and amazing photos! Tho colours in your photos are beautiful. Did you really not do any post processing on those (ie they're JPGs)? I recently listened to your podcast on Fujilove which was interesting. Do you have your JPG recipes available anywhere? Thanks!
They’re all JPEGs. If anything is edit (minor edits) the edits were done to the JPEGs and not raws.
@@Reggiebphoto I found your videos with your two favourite recipes - fantastic thanks man!
Looking at cameras to upgrade my current canon m50, one of the biggest things I’m looking for is better low light capabilities. How does this hold up to full frame camera’s in your opinion?
Man, I bought the XH2s, and I’ve loved it, but there are times when I wish I had the XT5. I’m more of a filmmaker, so I bought the XH2s as an alternative to my BMPCC 6K Pro, going for a hybrid camera. But I find that when I reach for the XH2S it is more for photos than video.
Love the videos Reggie, just wanted to ask what camera shutter button that is, gives a nice pop of colour
it's pretty hard to find. would yall be interested in buying a purple shutter if i buy it in bulk?
@@Reggiebphoto I'm in New Zealand so that might be an issue, but I'm pretty interested haha
The X-T5 is my favorite Fuji. Stopped using my X100v due to size and versatility.
Nice! I still use my X100V often. For me it just comes down to what focal length I'm feeling that day.
Hey Reggie! First time viewer in your channel and this video is amazing! Definitely insta subbed! Question: I’ve been a Sony user for years now and I’ve been wanting to have a Fuji camera as my personal fun camera apart from my work camera. What lens(es) would recommend for Fuji? And what lenses did you use for those shot of your kids?
Most of the images of mu kids are 18mm 1.4 and 33mm 1.4
Great review and nice footage of your fam. Do you prefer using the 4k or 4khq mode? I saw that 4khq doesn't let you use digital stabilization (just IBIS) and I was curious if that makes it worse for handheld video.
4k hq has more dynamic range than 4k. it's very apparent in the shadows. but unfortunately you have to deal with the slight cropping on the footage. if you check out gerald undone's xh2 video review he goes thru the differences between 4k and 4k hq
Thanks for review
Thanks for watching. Did you find it helpful?
what lens do you recommend? Do you recommend a pancake lens with XT5?
As an X-T3 owner who shoots films with my RED and other pro cinema cameras, I really didn't care about the video section of this presentation. BUT YOUR KIDS, hahaha. They made me die from their ridiculous cuteness and you really reminded me to shoot more video of my own family. Oh yeah, and I just ordered the X-T5. Woohooooo!
“I didn’t care about the video section of this presentation”. I don’t really understand your comment. I didn’t go deep into the video aspects at all.
@@Reggiebphoto sorry for the confusion. I was just saying I was going to skip the video section, but then I actually really enjoyed it and you reminded me I need to capture more video of my kids!
Oh I see.
weird comment
Hi new subscriber here. Im about to buy xt5 now and watched your video. Anyway, what camera did you use to shoot your video in you studio?
X-S10 or X-H2s, i forgot.
Hi Reggie, great video. Are you happy with the Metabones quality? Does AF work with the Nikon lens on the X-T5 ? Thank you...
Nope the af doesn’t work for Nikon. Nor did I purchase it expecting to. I got the speedbooster specifically because I wanted to adapt specific Nikon lenses that I used before
Thank you- good to know @@Reggiebphoto
Great video! Like the mention of how small you can make these cameras based on which lenses you pair them with.
Yup it’s like a transformer!
What lens/lenses would you recommend for shooting weddings with this?
Great video; whats your favorite lens for family outings? And do you shoot weddings in jpegs? Or just personal work?
18mm f/1.4 or 33mm f/1.4 - I have reviews on both these lenses on my channel
I’m using x-pro3 , and considering should I get a xt-5. Because I want to take some video( before most of my video took on action camera or iPhone)
Enjoy your videos. Have you done videos specifically on the speedbooster?
not yet.
Xt3 was a great camera XT4 not so much of an upgrade but the XT5 I think it has everything I need to justify starting a Fuji kit again 😅
yup, the x-t4, let's just pretend that camera didn't exist.
Interesting to hear your feedback, but it seems to me that the T30 does 95% if not more of the same. I got mine used and it’s amazing value that has a lot of the “critical” parts you mentioned. Yes the sensor is older and the autofocus - worse. But other than that, for day to day photography of memories - such a great little camera.
I had that before I upgraded to the XT 5 love that little thing as well!
@@Deekdashocker I’m sure I wouldn’t mind as well :) as long as it’s nearly as light
IBIS
If you watch my budget camera video, the xt30 is my top recommendation
@@jr28012ibis is def not a required factor
You can actually set ISO to a command dial on the XH models now. It was added in an update but I can't remember which.
yup, this video was recorded prior to that happening. they didn't update the x-s10 with this same functionality tho.
Hola! Una pregunta para los que tienen la xt5. Al cambiar de modo foto vídeo la cámara conserva los valores diferentes del modo foto video anterior? Para mi es muy importante cambiar rápidamente foto a video y que la cámara conserve los valores de cada modo. Es posible? Gracias!
thanks Reggie! do you adjust the shutter speed, when switching from photo to video or how do you make the switch fast enough?
It saves it per mode.
Hey Reggie, did your camera's SD card door have some sort of flex and squeak to it when pushed inward? Not sure if it's normal, but it makes sense that it would be if the rubber seals are just rubbing together. The flex also makes sense since the spring is just naturally trying to push the door outward, creating an inconspicuous gap. I just want to make sure I’m not overlooking a design flaw with the squeaking haha. Cheers!
I dunno. I don’t try pushing doors of my camera like that. I’d suggesting reaching out to fujifilm tech support
@Reggiebphoto I can feel the flex just when gripping the camera naturally, it's this way on other Fujis with similar card door designs too (eg GFX100S). Nothing to worry about, I think
I upgraded to X-T5 recently from X-T3. It's a significant upgrade in every aspect of X-T3 in terms of size, battery, megapixels, IBIS and AF performance. Happy shooting with X-T5. While it's AF not 100% spot on etc I rarely missed a important moment with the AF. Buffer and video quality is acceptable but should have been less restricted...:P
Less restricted how?
@@Reggiebphoto it got cut down on buffers and video spec compared to Xh2
What is your opinion of the metabones speed booster? I'm thinking of pairing it with a tilt/shift lens so I can use on on my xt5
I purchased it specifically to use 2 specific Nikon full-frame lenses with my X-T5 knowing it doesn't do AF. Based on this, it does the job, and I'm happy with it.
I’m curious about how you setup the video settings
Thank you for the video. Please advise which lenses really cope with the 40 million X-T5 matrix? There is a lot of information out there that most of the existing Fuji optics are not very good for this camera. Thank you!
That’s not true. All lenses work well unless you’re trying to crop
Manual focus bug is not yet fixed on the XT5 (April 2024 Firmware rev 3.01). (Search XT5 focus peaking issue).
❤ you going to make me buy this camera, excellent video😂🎉❤ and family❤❤❤🎉
I have links in the description :)
Great review as always, thank you! In my opinion the XT-5 ist the perfect camera, still small enough but producing pro results with classic dials. 2 concerns: The build quality is a downgrade compared to former generations. And the AF-C (especially eye AF) is still not everytime reliable. What's your proposal for the best AF-C settings for kids? Thx! :)
Af-s is the superior option for all fujifilm cameras
@@Reggiebphoto
Yeah, it's not immediately intuitive but AF-S plus Wide/Tracking and Face Detect works rather well.
Is the XT 5 our XT 4 better than the X100V when you put the similar lense
For the chapter 6 of the video, what lens did you use to film those clips? Did you use multiple ones? Wht lens would you recommend for those type of shootings?
Various lenses - 33mm 1.4, 18mm 1.4 and an adapted Nikon lens with manual focus
Hello, Great video. I generally love your family pictures. May I know which lenses you are using for you kids action portrait with this nice bokeh? And are you happy with the metabones speedbuster for Nikon lenses? Also are you using Fuji present or are these handmade?
It’s a fujifilm film simulation recipe - I use the fujifilm simulation and add some adjustments in camera. For the photos, you’ll have to link a timestamp of which photo and I can tell you
@@Reggiebphoto mostly pictures around minutes 8.
@@Reggiebphoto more specifically, with Black Friday, the end-of-year holidays quickly approaching, I would like to acquire an environmental portrait lens in order to photograph families, children in an indoor context in low light without flash like outside day or night (the Christmas markets are coming with beautiful night lights :-)). I shoot with the Fuji XH2S.
I have the 56mm APD 1st Generation whose bokeh and focal length are very nice but you know it's execrable AF. Last year I bought the Sigma 18-50 which is practical but overall I am disappointed because the bokeh is not eau pronounced for me.
So I'm looking for a lens with a larger aperture at 1.0, 1.2 or even 1.4. (to increase the bokeh, have a better ISO setting in low light) but while maintaining a beautiful sharpness worthy of 2023.
On the other hand, I would like a top AF knowing that I often capture the moment (children playing, friends chatting, etc.).
Watching your videos, I'm still hesitating between a Sigma 56mm, a Viltrox 56, the new Fuji 56 or changing focal length with either the 30mm/33 from Sigma/Fuji/Viltrox or going for the Fuji 90mm F2 or the Viltro 75 or 85 mm. But even if the latter are better for good compression of shots, I fear that it will not be practical enough for indoors pictures by limiting to head shooting. On the opposite, isn't a 33mm too wide to have bokeh without distortion because you would have to get too close to the subject?
Another thing, I'm really not a fan of Cats-eye, onion ring and important chromatic aeration which are a limiting factors for me. On the other hand, a vignatage does not batter me. Based on this, what would you recommend to me to buy on my Fuji?
If you can link the exact time stamp of the image I can let you know what lens
@@Reggiebphoto mostly 8:09 and 9:32. Thanks
I've had my own Fujifilm X-T5 for three days, and from this short time, I can say it's a fantastic camera! I would like to ask, what is that hood on the XF33F1.4 ?
It’s the Fuji hood for the 23mm 1.4 wr and 33mm 1.4 wr
You are fearless! Thanks for being honest about shooting jpeg only! Most pros are afraid to admit it. I don't think it is possible as easily with Sony, Canon or Nikon , because they do not allow as much customization in camera. This attracts more people to Photography, who can't afford a powerful computer with discrete graphics for editing RAW files or who enjoy capturing images with a film style digital camera and think editing is a PITA.

How's the build quality? I've seen a lot of complaints
Hey reggie! Great video. But I have one question. I recently bought a x-t5 but it feels like the shutter speed feels more lose when I compared it to my iso dial. Is this normal?
How so?

What lenses do you have? Do you have a list 😅
Great review, will buy mine next week after having the X100V for about 2 years (which I intend to keep of course!). Just a stupid question - you said that if you were to start over as a wedding photographer you would go with two X-T5s. So, I am a street photographer only, hence the stupid question, but as a wedding photographer, what is the main reason to have two cameras? To have two different lenses on so that you can more quickly adapt to situations and don't have to switch lenses on one single camera? What lenses would be your default ones to equip those two cameras with then?
I prefer shooting two bodies with two primes. I’m typically shot 18 1.4 and 56 1.2
You came up with great answers already, friend! Two bodies means less lens switching. Some shoot with one prime and zoom, some take two zooms or two primes. Whatever fits your needs best! There are many exciting and good Combos out there, but generally you would want something like 23 or 33mm and something with more zoom like the 56 or 90mm. Some rely on the 16-50 and 50-150. Having two bodies is also vital safety! If one camera fails, you have at least one back up. Imagine you are booked for the wedding. Everything is checked, packed and you arrive at the wedding. Take a few shots and suddenly your only camera is dead. You are s... out of luck now. Do you want to be the Person to tell the couple that you can't do the job and document this once in a life time event? Bring two bodies :)
@@venom2k2 , wow thanks a lot for this! Very helpful 😀 It all makes sense as well!
