Thanks for this thorough review. As a X-T2 user, who mainly does landscape photography (some pro architecture and portrait stuff) and very rarely any video, and love the artistic qualities of the Fujifilm cameras, as soon as I saw the specs of the T5 it was a no brainer to upgrade. Glad I waited! Will receive it in a couple of days and look forward to go shooting and have higher rez, IBIS, better EVF, changed ergonomics, etc!

Another quality review from Andy! I think that Fuji chose to make XT5 more photography oriented camera. Besides that, they give you many choices to pickup the camera that covers your needs. Too pity that they didn’t develop a battery grip for xt5 but at the same time they’ve managed to optimise the battery so it can capture 700+ shots. Thank you Andy!

I really love my xt2! Although the auto focus is limited. I told my self I would upgrade when the xt line had IBIS. But the screen on the xt4 was a major deal breaker for me! Now comes along the xt5, witch improves everything except it falls in noise at higher iso. Low light performance it’s an APSC handicap against full frame, and Fuji neglected it in favor of higher megapixel number? It allows for crop or bigger prints… sure, and I like that flexibility in cropping, but I like even more being able to use my 23f2 with higher iso having better picture quality, instead of having to use the heavier, more expensive shallower depth of field 23f1.4 as alternative. Street night photography with IBIS and better noise control would make the xt5 the Holly grail! Not to mention heavier files on the sd card and on disk storage! I’ll most probably upgrade to the xt5…. And will love it for everything it has. But knowing that Fuji has x-h2S improved sensor…. Maybe it will go to the next x100!

Thanks for the comment. I actually did that for the XH2 review, but then took it out. By high res, I assume you mean Pixel Shift - it's nice to have, but you can only use it when there's absolutely zero movement as it takes around 8 seconds to do all the shots, so any moving grass or leaves on trees, any moving water, any change of light, all create blur. There are very few times in landscape shooting that I'd consider using it

Absolutely love the articulating screen! In my opinion they're much more useful if your focus is photography instead of video and that was actually one of the reasons (a smaller one, though)I didn't buy the X-T4. It amazes me how little I know about my X-T30 after owning it for almost two years. Didn't know, that you could put the shutter dial on T and just scroll trough the whole range, that's something I often missed! Another hilarious thing is me forgetting that the function button on the top of the camera exists at all, I put the WB there but I always go into the menu and get frustrated because it takes so long this way. I should really use the camera more and learn everything, it's way better than I think. And recently I thought that I may switch to full frame at some point, but then again I see your photos and love them and it reminds me of the capabilities of the Fuji system and that it can deliver everything I want in such a neat little (and affordable!) package. Using their cameras is a blast, they're so well thought out and intuitive!

Hey Andy, for the XT4 there are L brackets/grips on which the L side can slide like 2 or 3cm away from the body so the screen can be manipulated and cables inserted without blocking the L functionality. There are also bracket on which the whole camera body can slide for that purpose. Pretty sure manufacturers gonna make some for the xt5 very soon.

I had the battery grips for both my x-t2 & x-t3, but have never had one on the x-t4; have never missed it as I have the Small Grip L- bracket instead. Anyhoo - The point of this reply - The Small Grip with extending Left-side is a tad pricey as yet, so I've ordered an XT-Xinte L-bracket grip (from ebay), which also has the extending left side AND a fancy Wooden grip 😎: The thinking being that I can customise the wood with a dremel & maybe bung on some grip-tape a la pingpong bat tape. The Xinte is half-price or les compared to the Small rig.

Interesting. For someone doing 'a lot of sports' I would not pick an XT body. Ergonomics and controls are not really optimised for that sort of genre. I presume you have not used a PASM camera hence you dislike the XH bodies. Just personal opinion but because I have been shooting DSLRs for a long time before starting to own Fuji, I'd pick an XH body for sports/wildlife/portrait. I wouldn't mind using the XT for landscape, candids and portrait though.

@russellbaston974

I too am VERY disappointed that there is NO option to fit a vertical grip with controls ( not even craving extra batteries). For portrait work the vertical grips on my X-T2 and H-1 are ergonomically crucial. A bit more expensive but if one is going to keep the camera for a long time the cost evens out, so it’ll have to be the H2 for me. I appreciate this is primarily biased to landscape photography but ‘landscapes’ can be vertical, and I don’t have enough money to get a camera that’s only best one way up.

Nice review. Great shots of Lisbon. With the the H2 and H2s already on hand, and given that I use the 100S as well, I am happy to use 3 cameras with essentially the same controls. The dials on the XT are very romantic, but loosing them is not a deal breaker for me

Good review Andy! Ignoring the high resolution which most people don’t need, am I right to say the previous 26MP sensor produces the same or better images?

Well, the resolution gives you “better” images if you care about detail and printing larger. Aside from that, I think the new sensor has better highlight and shadow recovery.

Thanks for the comment. The articulating screen really is nice

Great review. I already pre-ordered mine, can't wait to get it. The microphone you're using (located on your desk), which brand/model is it? Do you recommend it?

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the review. The mic on my desk is a Yeti Nano. It's really nice...I've used it on the past 3 or 4 videos are the sound quality is excellent. It 's a USB mic though, so doesn't record into the camera. I record directly into Adobe Audition n the computer and then sync the audio up with the video in post

great review! looks like a killer camera.

yours is a great channel!

Andy, thanks for the review. I liked how you compared lenses and the difference between f stops. After watching this, I just ordered the lens from B&H in NYC. I am an Industrial photographer and former corporate photographer for a large aerospace company, Lockheed Martin. Because of the nature and subject mater, I had to shoot in very tight spaces and learn to master super wide lenses. I looked at the Fuji XPRO1 and the 10-24 lens which I loved and bought. But as you mentioned, Fuji was lacking in super wide primes. I have the 14mm prime, which is wonderful. My 16-55 f 2.8, is tack sharp, but very heavy. My 16-80 is a nice all around travel lens, but not super sharp or wide enough. when I saw the 8 mm prime, I was excited and thought it would be a great fit for my XT5. I guess I can understand your want for this to be a 2.8 lens. but as an industrial photographer who shoots only on a tripod, low ISO and stops down to 2-3 stops from wide open to get the maximum sweet spot of the lens, f-3.5 or even f-4 is not an issue for me. I shoot in many dark, dingy and disgustingly dirty locations (RR repair yards, airplane repair hangers, and shipyards), so I normly shoot long exposures. But I guess if I were street shooting and needed shallow depth of field and fast shutter, I might want 2.8. I am looking forward to shooting with this little gem and being able to get the dynamic images you can only get from a super wide. Thanks again for your in depth review, and I look forward to seeing more of your work and feedback.

Thanks for the comment, and have fun with the 8mm

Just ordered an XT-4. Saved a little toward a lens (first Fuji coming from Nikon) and I like the idea of closing the screen to prevent previewing shots as much. Also benefit of a vertical battery grip as well.

I think they've made the perfect camera! Finally a worthy successor to the X-T2 😃

Hi Andy, thank you for the review. Good to se your video after a while. Actually, this review kinda make me love the xs10 more now. haha. Maybe I am just crying "sour grapes"... I dream of the day when I can finally afford a good fujifilm camera :D

The X-S10 is a great camera..I know I'm keeping mine.

Thanks for the review, Andy. I think the X-T5 is a better fit for me than the X-H2(S) ; I don't need top-end video options, I like having 2 x SD card slots and I prefer the articulating screen.

Thanks for the comment. I thin a lot of people are going to feel that way about the camera, it's a really nice upgrade and what it misses from the XH2 isn't necessary for the vast amount of people. Particularly for photographers

Thanks Andy , very comprehensive review. I am torn between this and the GFX 50s 2 to upgrade to from XT3. I am more focused on woodland these days so DR would seem to be the main difference here. Would you say that you can compensate for the difference in DR in post or is the GFX always going to have better shadow details and colour recovery? Its the deciding factor for me.

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the review. The GFX simply has better files for post processing. You can do so much with them without them falling apart. The GFX system though does have it's own issues. For example, shooting in woodland I would imagine you'd have a lot more depth of field issues with the GFX than you do with your XT3 as depth of field on the medium format really is a lot less, so there's a lot more focus stacking

@andrewknowles6731

@@AndyMumford it's a good point , I have found myself both focus and exposure stacking anyway with the XT3 for the same image more often recently and I think it would be nice to eliminate one of those processes by the camera dealing with the whole dynamic range of the scene in one image if I focus stack anyway. Mind you that solution will cost me about 5 thousand quids to get so I am now into the law of diminishing returns... Thanks for the feedback.

OK Let me save money for XT5. Thank you for the informative review!

Very nice, Andy. I'll very likely get a X-T5 at some point. I do find it inexplicable that they put the plug for the remote on the left. I do like using a wired remote.

Interesting review, thanks. The cable release in the shutter is surely good enough if the electric release port is on the wrong side.

Yeah, the mechanical shutter is fine...although I find they break very easily. The new Fuji app is excellent though, so that works as a remote release as well

Thank you for this review... As I not a photographer pro as first job, I'm thinking about sell my GFX gear and take this one for photography...

Great video. I'm very interested in this camera, although will have to figure out how to finance it. 😅 I'm wondering, with the high resolution new sensor, how well does the Viltrox 13mm prime lens work with this sensor? Did you have a chance to try that combination?

@AndyMumford

Жыл бұрын

I haven't tried it yet, but thats a very sharp lens and should perform excellently

I picked up a Sony A7iv in August because I got tired of setting everything manually on the XT4 for solo video. It made my life much easier. I picked up the X-H2s a few weeks ago and sold the Sony. The new XProcessor 5 is just great, and the Xh2s Af and everything else for video is on Sony's level, but the Sony doesn't do 4K120. I liked the Xh2s so much I ordered an XH2 and the 40mp sensor is just gorgeous and has a large format film smoothness to it that I just didn't see in the FF Sony or any other FF cameras I've shot. I think I'm going to get an XT5 and see which one I want to keep around for stills. The fully articulated screen on the XH2 is a problem with the L bracket as you say. For video the XH2s is a winner all around.
