Not all photographers want a lot of video features. It’s terrific that Fujifilm recognizes this and provides different bodies for different types of shooters.
Well done!
The x100v was meant to serve for still photography with (mostly) one lense. The X-T4 was a hybrid (still+video) and the x-h2 the flagship for more moneys... now they revert back to making the X-T5 a still shooter again cause they want people to spend more money on the x-h lineup - disappointing imo...
Yea if they just reverted the still/movies switch back to metering modes like on the xt3, itd be perfect
@@manuelight I see your point, considering price increases across the board I see Fujifilm a smart move. I am sure it will sell hot
@@manuelight Well the X-T5 finally went back to its roots, being a still shooter, which is a good thing. The XT-4 was trying to be both but many (still photographers) disliked the fully articulating screen. And now Fuji finally differentiated the XT and XH lineup. If you want a more video oriented camera, then yes you'll have to pay more, that's with any system.
@@funnybeingme For me it's not the "need to pay more" argument... let's be honest - what are 200 bugs more or less, when we look at our lens-collection being worth 25x that at least?
It's more like - when you want a hybrid - you will prefer some differnt user-interface - like a fully articulating screen, a mode dial with a lot of custom-settings etc... imho both cams X-T5 and X-H2 are optimised for their intended primary use-case, based around the same sensor. 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. I don't ever shoot video with my camera and I could care less about the screen that everyone has a cow about. Looking forward to upgrading for the IBIS and higher resolution.
Ditto 👍
This is the one I'm most excited for! Thanks Chris and Jordan for always being both informative and entertaining!
I've been saying for years that I want an X-T3 with IBIS... My dreams have come true!
0:11 That old black and white silent film music is priceless! Great job, again.
Yay - the fabulous analog dials and three way angled screen returns!
As an xt2 owner who has skipped the last two upgrades, this is perfect. Smaller than the xt4, ibis, flip screen, higher res.
Chef kiss.
Perfect upgrade.
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!
I love Fuji making cameras for photographers and videographers separately. I wish all manufacturers would do this.
This is a photographers dream IMO. Great upgrades and great price. First camera im really stoked about and plan on buying
Same feeling here. I’m a Canon shooter but never been interested in video. This camera is soooo sexy!
Personally I'm annoyed that the metering switch that I use all the time is replaced with a video switch. I hate the chimping screen on my xt3, it always gets dirty and i would have it turned towards the camera almost all the time if i could. My only hope for a film like camera is the xpro4 now.
@@Chindogu133 I agree with the photometrics switch. With regards to the X-Pro 4.... uhmmm I think it might have been axed! (Just my personal thoughts). As usual there's a rhythm to the releases by manufacturer's. High-end, mid & low-end. The high-end came in Q2 & Q3 the mid in Q4. Now for the low-end... Will it ever? There was the X-T3, X-Pro 3 and X-T30. Then came the next iteration, X-T4 and then nada! No compatriots or siblings. Then the XS-10 came, then the X-H2s and now we're at the X-T5 and still no word on the X-T4 nor the X-T40... Di you still have hopes for the X-Pro 4?
Wow you guys are busy, so much content! The video performance of this is jaw dropping!
Tilt-screen instead of fully articulated? Hell yeah! The XT finally returns as a photographer’s camera instead of a hybrid!
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!
Y’all are number one on my list of camera reviewers I want to have a beer with.
Chris you sold this camera with your biggest smile I have ever seen on you. Thanks for sharing
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 own a xt20 and XT3 and I love the command dials on the xt models. I’m more of a photographer so with the focus tracking upgrade and 40 pixels this will suit all my needs and it’s much cheaper then the xh. Stoke xt5 will have all the subject detection modes. Way to go Fujifilm 👏👏👏👏
@J C yeah, and I sure lost a bet on that HR sensor! Congrats Fujifilm for not being/going Canon! Regardless, I can't wait to get my hands on the X-H2! Much latter the X-T5 will be a nice add-on bonus
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.
There was already a huge improvement in autofocus between the second and the third generation. Wasn’t it?
@@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
x-t2 is still a great camera in 2022
@@pauliusgrigas2653 Curious to know what specifically you've experience in the X-T3 that is improved over the T2. Thanks
@@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
The X-T3 was regarded as a very good camera for video. Even when a lot in that department has improved, suddenly it's not any more. How time flies.
x-t3 still shines for video, it better than this new, as no sensor crop, better rolling shutter.
26MP is still a sweet spot for apsc camera in terms of speed, resolution, and lens resolving power (especially for Fuji lenses).
@@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. Created a storm, Fujifilm listened and returned the X-T5 to it's 'roots'. There's still a chatterstorm! Like folks can't just stick to their choices without nagging 'bout it!
Super excited for this especially considering the scarcity of the X100V...but the focus on photos over video makes it that much more appealing. 🎉🎉🎉
X-T1 user. This is the upgrade I was hoping for.
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.
I can’t wait for your XH2 final review
Every time I finish watching your videos, I realise I'm grinning. Not many people can do that! Well done, good info and thanks 🇬🇧
This looks like it may very well be a camera for me. I’m looking forward to some more testing and reviews.
3 video updates from DPReview in a day? What a day!
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.
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.
Finally a worthy upgrade to my xt1 , 8yrs in the making , thanks Fuji .
You’re in for a treat-enjoy!
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.
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 😍
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.
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.
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.
perfect timing while Im still saving for the x-t4 thanks fuji!
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.
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.
Back to the roots… fantastic!
I'm thrilled. I'll be upgrading from my xt3.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I want fully articulated screen with 40MP and Fujifilm X-T series dials. And now it's still impossible.
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 "
Been using X-T1 for many years. This is a win.
Great intro and overview - thank you
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.
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.
Awesome video, I got XT4 from past 2 years now
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.
The new APS-C still photo champion? I forgot this thing was real and was coming this month. Well done, guys!
The best screen design out there!
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.
Waiting for the full review!
I like that this is now clearly a photocentric model
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.
Jordan, your composition is top-notch!
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.
This is everything I'd hoped it would be 🤩
Would love to see the final review 😃
I love my X-T3...no fiddly flippy screen! This will be my next upgrade, especially with IBIS.
You nailed it; they've updated the XT3, which is great because that's my favorite Fuji camera.
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 love the way to capture pictures with an fuji. But I don't understand why they don't allow us to use an optional battery grib. I enjoy to photograph pictures vertical and like to click the second release button. Its a little uncomfortable without this second button. I hoped to upgrade my xt2 to an xt with ibis ( I miss the wheels for iso oder shutterspeed at the x-h series)... but for me personally this could be a dealbreaker. Or are there possible ways to capture vertical with any grip?
Long live the three-way tilting screen 😂😂😂 Chris !
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.
Thanks for another great review. What happened to youtubes ability to sort by newest and oldest videos?
Great review guys.
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? 😄
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
Nice first look, thanks. If you're shooting a long time lapse using the built-in intervalometer, do you know if you can use the USB-C port to charge the camera from a battery pack while you're shooting?
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 :/
Any chance you can see how the rear screen is sized vs. previous X-T models so I can see if I can buy an early screen protector for my X-T5 preorder? For example will the X-T4 screen protectors fit etc.? Thanks!
Will be curious to see extensive low light shooting and how this 40mpx apsc sensor holds up. Thanks for the video!
I’ve got the X-T2 and am thinking of upgrading. Do you (or anyone) think the 40mp files will be sluggish to process in Lightroom on my older Mac? It sometimes takes a moment or two to snap into focus. I’ve only got 8GB of RAM and store the original files on external drives.
same problem with the dials on my xt1. Now I am worried since these dials would eventually become almost unusable after months of use. The old mechanical problem seems to come back to the newest version of Fuji’s xt body
I'm looking forward to the release of this camera. I currently use the XT-2 and looking forward to the ibis and more megapixels. I want the old dials retained and the 3 way tilting screen. I do not shoot video so this sounds perfect.
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 :)
Yes! I love that tilt screen!
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!
Hey Chris, great video! This looks like a fantastic camera! I am a Nikon shooter that is fairly invested in Z glass paired with my Z7ii. I have a D500 for WIldlife, but when I saw the specs on this, and just the retro look and feel, I am seriously considering switching just for my wildlife. Is this camera worth a D500 swap for capturing wildlife, and even good landscape? 40m would lend itself to good landscape captures. Just curious, thanks again for this review
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.😁
🤡
Does the camera have an option to do image processing like a phone does - where the exposure across the frame is perfect? I seem to remember one of their other cameras has this feature.
Do you think is any chance to get some of the features like animal eye tracking with firmware update to the XT-4 ? That's the main reason I will update to the XT-5 ... I love taking dog photos and dogs in action.
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.
Cool pre-review. How do you get your thumbnail titles with the background color? Thanks!
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.
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
How is the flash sync and autofocus scenario for xt5? I had read Xt lines were suffering lot of faulty flash sync and misfires. Could you include these while making any photography video in future
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
Hi, I´m in deciding process now if is better to switch from Nikon Z6 system to this new X-T5 Fujifilm, because Z6 is full frame, very good camera, I´m shooting as amateur but i´m looking at FUJI by the one eye longer time and I need compare the basics like dynamic range, sport capability which is bad in Z6 , I like film simulationson FUJI, mayby it´s more pleasant camera isn´t it? What can you say about Z6 compare XT-5 ? Thanks
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 am so glad I skipped the X-T4 and waited for this one... Can´t wait to get my hands on it!
Wanting a smaller hybrid and just curious what makes the XT4 better for video other than the screen? I’d think the AF will only get better on this one after updates.
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! 🙂
Hi! When will you release the full review of the T5? Thanks!
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.
