      It would be nice to have a camera that does both still and video equally as well as the other, without sacrificing something, and I don't mind if there is an ability to use video, to a limited degree, on a digital "stills" camera, but I can't express my joy with the knowledge that the X-T5 is more of a "still cameras" camera for the majority, including myself. Fuji has done well deviding the X-T5 with the X-H2 ans 2s. PASM, stay on your side of the fence and best wishes with the X-H2/2s, and may our dials, from the X-T1-5 remain on future generations. Nice video - Thank You!

      @@rfa2381 That's another solution. But it also adds complexity, and bulkyness to the screen. We'll see wether that screen will stood the test of time. The point is, for photo centric camera, this screen is perfect! Especially if we take a look at the history of the X-T line, it's always been tilt. X-T4 was an anomaly in the line, because Fuji tried to patched the X-H1 market failure with it. And don't bring up the X-T200, because that's not really an X-T, more like X-A7 with EVF.

    Great content as always. I completely agree with your thoughts on the sub-dials; the biggest thing keeping me from upgrading from my X-T3 is the dedicated photometry dial. They could totally smush the "Still/Movie" dial into the slew of stills options and reopen that space for something more dial-friendly. Can't wait to see your 30mm Macro review 👀

    Gajan, you did an outstanding job. You covered this with your friend from a photography perspective, which is who this camera is meant for, flip screen be damned. I have the same view as your friend as I was never overly excited by a flip screen. For video and maybe a few special circumstances, maybe, but photographers never had or really care about flip screens due to composition.
    You are right and whether you choose to or not you did the Fuji XT5 justice by sticking to the facts and leaving the fluff alone and for that in my mind, this was a review. It is a hybrid camera with video features, which is where the market is today, but all of the buttons and dials are back, and if you want a video-first camera, as you said the XH2 is more than capable.

    As someone who does photography as a hobby I put aesthetics of the camera itself way up there with the images the camera takes. I find myself taking out a camera more if it looks pretty. And sure people value different looks but I love the retro, film camera look the Fuji lineup offers, and the X-TX line is for me the perfect balance between looking cool and taking great photos. I think I'll be upgrading to the X-T5 and your video helped confirm my choice. Thanks!

The 4 had the awkward screen and grew a touch too large. 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.

    This X-T5 is exactly what I want as an upgrade with higher resolution, IBIS, proper video specs for the occasional clip, and of COURSE, the return of the tilting screen 😊

    Excellent review. Could not agree with you more on two points you made. First the screen; what a welcome return to the XT3 style. Never used mine in the XT4 in the field, it was that bad a design. Second, ensuring one understands the AF-C settings and sets the correct setting for the subject. Never found the AF-C capabilities on my XT4 limiting for sport (galloping horses, cycle racing or dogs running), but I am looking forward to seeing the real world improvements in the XT5. Thanks for the review. My order for the XT5 was placed this afternoon. Can't wait!

    I have the X-T4 and am a photography first user. When X-H2 came out, I was still not tempted to pick one up despite the 40mp improvement. However, the 3-axis tilt screen is the reason alone that I might pick up this camera. (fully articulating screen on the X-T4 when using shutter release bugs me a lot when shooting at certain angles on a tripod.). Anyway, great review!

    I’m so glad I waited on the XT4 and XPRO3 now can sell my XT3 and get this. They got it right. It really looks great. Please (PLEASE) do fully review it, but this was a great initial impression.

    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.

    Thanks for the excellent review. I agree, why is movie mode not just another option on the top dial? That's a great idea! We have between 1 and 8000 the T B A settings on the XT-4, why not add an M for movie mode? This would free the underlying dial to return to the metering mode settings as it was on the XT-3.
    I use the viewfinder for all my photography, and only use the screen for reviewing shots, so I couldn't care less how it is articulated. There are a few times I have to lie down or hold the camera above my head, but these situations are not going to make a big issue on how I choose a camera screen. Other than I want to be able to reverse it and close it - I just had the screen of my X100V shattered by what I can only imagine was a small knock. I'd prefer to be able to rotate and close the screen to a position that it is not vulnerable.

  • @roman2374
    @roman2374 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like when a flip out screen can close display to body to hide the screen altogether. But this is solved quite nicely in the xpro3. I guess the tilt on the t5 isn’t so bad either

  • @allenschneider1847
    @allenschneider1847 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very helpful. I can't decide between the xt5 and the xh2. There are things I like about both. I've also considered the OM1 but the APSC sensor will probably push me towards Fugi. I think the low light performance would be better.

    • @GajanBalan
      @GajanBalan  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, I think it comes down to how much video you’re gonna capture. Anything more than 40% and you should probably go with the X-H series. At least in my opinion. Good luck!

  • @andrewblackmore9716
    @andrewblackmore9716 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent review as usual Gajan. I moved over to Fujifilm a few years ago and wished I'd done so years before that (from another leading brand). Using my X-T4 totally reignited my passion for simply getting out there and shooting, but the resolution has often been a (slight) disappointment compared to by previous brick of a camera! the X-T5 will be top of my agenda when it's released and when funds allow.

    I ordered one at 7:30am this morning along with the new 30mm lens. I'm adding this to my collection of all the Fuji XT camera's starting with the X-T1 thru the X-T4. I'm anxious to get my hands on this and wring it out and see the differences between it and my X-T4 and X-T3. It will be nice to get back to a smaller body like that of the X-T1.

    Honestly, the camera seems super cool, but ultimately, it’s the 30mm macro I’m most interested in. Seems like the best macro lens for digitizing film from my Leica MP! 😂

    I still shoot with an old Nikon DSLR with a 50mm 1.2 AIs lens with no complaints. However, I've been planning to upgrade to a mirrorless but none have grabbed my attention. The Nikon Z, Canon, Sony seem like they came from the same manufacturing plant. The Fuji XT5 looks and feels like old school, just what I had always wanted. Thanks to your video it has reinforced my decision to purchase the XT5 and with that become a part of the Fujifilm family.

    Given that Fuji X100V is rarely available and quite a lot increased in price, do you think that XT5 is a good alternative, considering the relative size/footprint while being more versatile ?
    Also, is there a possibility that Fuji will release other pancake lens than the 27mm in a more wider focal length range? Like 35mm equivalent or so?

    @yabishxtina ปีที่แล้ว

    great video as always, Gajan.
    question: you were saying it's great to drop down ISO to 125 in relation to higher dynamic range.
    on my X-T3 I have to set a minimum ISO of 640 to gain full dynamic range on my raw files.
    am I totally off the rails with this one? just got me a little confused here.
    thanks!

    • @GajanBalan
      @GajanBalan  ปีที่แล้ว

      Using the lowest ISO in the photography mode will give you the cleanest files, especially when looking to push back some of the shadows and preserve highlights. The native ISO for video is different. It's not that you *have* to use 125 all the time, it's about choosing the best (most people consider this, lowest) ISO in photographic settings.
      When I'm in the studio, I keep it at the lowest possible and use lights. In the streets, I'll use Auto ISO with a ceiling of 800, 1600, or 6400 depending on the ambient light. Hope this helps!

  • @jeffsellenrick6635

    Hi Gajan, do you have an arca plate from the x-t4 that you can test for fit on the x-t5? I’m wondering if the anti rotation pins match, such as the RRS plate from the x-t4. Thank you.

      Yes, it has a 1.14x crop.

  • @canyonblue737-8
    @canyonblue737-8 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    • @GajanBalan
      @GajanBalan  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It looked almost exactly like the X-T3 screen but I didn’t test a screen protector to confirm 100%. Sorry!

  • @stevenstocking5855
    @stevenstocking5855 ปีที่แล้ว

    Been using it for fast equine sports photography for a couple of months now. I have got around it's shortcomings...if indeed they could be called that.
    The lack of a grip...has proved not a problem. The battery life is superb.
    The buffer...well, this is the biggest problem. However, shooting hief and compressed raw and only zone focus (Not subject detect, which affects this) I get enough for what I shoot.
    High ISO noise... it's definitely worse than the X-T3&4, but with noise reduction software where I have to shoot in lower light....well, that's a non issue. (Adds to my work time though)
    This camera is a beast...if I need to crop, wow!
    I love it and would wholy recommend the X-T5 100% 😁

  • @Better.Beyond
    @Better.Beyond ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, Looking at the comments in your and other reviews people really like this release! For me, as a video shooter, the X-T5 is not interesting but that’s good because Fuji is making a better separation between photo and video. Video is going into XS & XH series with more „modern“ look and the XT is now really for photographers with retro dials, high MP and tilt screen.
    Now waiting for all photographers to update so that they sell their X-T4s 😅 For video the XT4 is still great and very capable. Even 2022 for most of the consumers I think!

  • @Levinator25
    @Levinator25 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think your buddy who missed the "super clean body" of the X-T2/3 was confused. Claiming this one has way more buttons when I'm pretty sure it's the exact same amount. Perhaps he's remembering the X-E series? I'd like to see this camera next to the X-T1, I loved the size of that camera and missed it when upgrading to the X-T3. Thanks for sharing.

  • @b3arodactyl
    @b3arodactyl ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just to confirm, you said this also has the 2x digital zoom in video from the X-H2? That seems like a pretty awesome feature, as someone who shoots only with primes.

    At the 2 minutes mark, what you’re describing is the XT3 setup, which many didn’t like.

  • @streetzine
    @streetzine ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm thinking that the front dial is only meant for changing between iso/aperture/shutter/expo.comp if the button is held in also noting it is only accessible when dials are set to C/T. I'm going off how the xt3 functions although I'd like to be able to assign it to more than that via firmware just to have the option. Let me know if I'm wrong or misunderstood because that would be an oversight from Fuji to have a dead button.

    • @GajanBalan
      @GajanBalan  ปีที่แล้ว

      I imagine that’s the case too, I should’ve tested that specifically the first time. Still a shame it can’t be re-mapped.

  • @matthewneiman

    at first I was a bit off-put by the removal of the flip screen, as an X-T4 owner who uses the video features for work, and photo features for fun, the video functionality was the main reason I went with the camera in the first place (along with it's great looks). But thinking about it more, when I'm using it for photography, and most videography (except when filming myself) the tilt screen is actually far more useful (and very critically for me, looks far less goofy when shooting on the street).
    Where as the X-T4 was 50/50 photo/video, the X-T5 seems more 60/40. A little upsetting as I love the X-T aesthetic and personally much prefer the exposure dials on the X-T system as opposed to the standard like on the XH2s, which better suites my needs in terms of 'features'.
    For me two years ago the X-T4 was the absolute perfect camera all around. Now I feel like I need (want) an X-T5 AND an X-H2s. Guess I just need to keep working and get both because they are uniquely compelling. :)
    Love the videos as always! Upon seeing half a dozen X-T5 videos in my sub feed I knew this one would be the most insightful and wasn't let down!

    Great review as always. I’m not stressed about photometry. I’m used to assigning a function button to it on the H2S and the X100V.
    Totally agree with you on the screen. I refused to give up my XT3 because of that screen. For video, sure the flippy screen is nice, but I rarely shoot video on my XT3. I need that tilt screen for low shots and verticals. Very glad it’s back.
