Fujifilm X-T5 Body Only - Black

Product Information

It has nothing todo with X-Trans vs Bayer, you guys are so predictable, always the same FUD spreaders here at every Fuji gear review, get a life. I don't talk with your kind of ppl anymore.

Ultimately if you want a new Fujifilm body with a side-hinged screen, go for the X-H series, or perhaps a future X-S model. Sure it’s frustrating if you wanted the vintage controls too, but in terms of offering multiple body approaches I feel Fujifilm offers a lot more options than most. The battery’s the same NP-W235 intro’d on the X-T4 and also used on the latest X-H bodies, with Fujifilm claiming 740 frames in economy mode or around 90 minutes of video. The X-T5 has a higher resolution 3.68M-dot electronic viewfinder with greater 0.80x magnification, but a slower 100fps refresh rate. LCD Screen In comparison, the X-T5 can only manage a relatively meager 119+ JPEGs or 19 RAW files before the continuous shooting rate starts to slow down. BodyIt includes a lot of the capabilities of the more expensive X-H2, such as the 40MP sensor, with a handful of omissions – primarily on the video side of things – that draw a sensible distinction between the two models. There'll undoubtedly be some people who would have preferred an X-H2 with dials, or who'll insist that only video features should have been removed, and that the X-T5 should include the ability to add a battery grip, but to us the differences are enough to create a meaningful distinction between models, allowing the X-T5 to have a lower price tag without treading on its big brother's toes. The screen also tilts up and down for high and low-angle shooting when the camera is held horizontally.

The X-T5 is the latest addition to the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras known for their compact and lightweight body and superior image quality based on the company’s proprietary colour reproduction technology. Now for the same pan but using the electronic shutter at the full resolution, where the sensor readout speed has resulted in visible skewing on the tower and buildings. It's only natural to compare the X-T5 to the Fujifilm X-H2. From a price standpoint, assuming video isn't a high priority, you can save several hundred dollars springing for the former. Yes, you'll miss out on a higher-resolution EVF and a top-plate display but not all that much else; both of these cameras output the same image quality and feature the same high-res mode and AF systems.

The X-T5's face/eye detection mode works reliably, though performance is distinctly lens dependent. Out of camera JPEG shot using the Provia/Standard profile (pre-production sample). The latest X-H2 and X-H2S have now taken the pressure from the X-T series to be all things to all people, and allowed the X-T5 to return to its roots as a photo-oriented camera.

Thinking of choosing finance?

The camera is equipped with a high-magnification 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification. Compared to the previous model, the viewfinder has improved suppression of parallax and distortion, which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder, for stellar visibility. Since most of the lenses you’ll want to use with the X-T5 to maximise its resolution are unstabilised primes, IBIS is a very important feature. Noise suppression from this combination is also the best from any previous generation, with a low base ISO 125 and offers the ability to capture HEIF files.

Grumbles about video quality aside, the X-T5 offers very good in-body stabilization, making it easy to shoot steady handheld footage. And 'IS Boost' mode does a darn good job of replicating a tripod, allowing for long, handheld static shots. Let’s start with the interval timer, which automatically captures one to 999 or indeed infinite images until you stop it, at intervals of one second to 24 hours. WiFi connection can be made over IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac (standard wireless protocol) and Bluetooth Ver. 4.2 (Bluetooth low energy) is also available. X-T5 colour and kit options The X-T5 drops the forward-facing screen in favor of the dual-hinge style from the X-T3, and sizes down its frame without sacrificing in-body stabilization. It comes in at 3.6 by 5.1 by 2.5 inches (HWD) and 1.2 pounds without a lens. It's a little smaller all around versus the X-T4 (3.7 by 5.3 by 2.6 inches, 1.3 pounds). The X-T5 uses the same NP-W235 batteries as its predecessor. It's a 16Wh unit that powers the camera to a rating of 590 shots per charge using the viewfinder or 580 shots using the rear screen. These numbers drop to 500 and 570 shots, respectively, if you use Boost mode to up the refresh rate of the finder to 100fps or the rear screen to 60fps.In my tests I confirmed the X-T5’s top mechanical burst speed of 15fps, even with continuous autofocus, where I was able to capture 329 large fine JPEGs before the camera slowed. That’s over 20 seconds of action at the full resolution, so should be fine for most scenarios, plus the buffer emptied almost immediately when using a fast UHS II SD card. The X-T5 handles in much the same as its predecessors, favoring manual dials in sensible positions to help you to take full control of your image-making. On the top of the camera, there are three dials to set the shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation. On the shutter speed dial, there's a switch to go between stills and movie recording, while the shooting mode (continuous, single, etc) can be switched from the bottom of the ISO dial. The X-T5's viewfinder is the largest yet in an X-T camera. It presents a large 0.8x image to your eye with 3.7 million dots of resolution and a smooth 100fps display. It's one area where the X-T5 significantly betters the Canon EOS R7, which has a so-so 0.71x/2.4-million-dot viewfinder.
