Do you REALLY need to upgrade to the Fujifilm XT5? (Fujifilm XT3 vs Fujifilm XT5)

[@Iamtongue]

Christmas is around the corner! Will you be upgrading to an XT5?

[@PhilipDSouza]

XH2s is in the mind

[@JesusQuintanna]

😍

[@sc9698]

no, I didn't know about the change to plastic build, now that I know I won't get the plastic xt5

[@bsmacutevision]

should i wait for xt6 now that we are at end of 2024? i have xt3

[@Wolfgahto]

I have been rocking the X-T3 for almost 5 years now, and it is honestly taken a back seat to my XH1. I love the new sensor and it is quite capable for my needs but I just find that I don’t use it as much. As for upgrading The newer cameras rock in there capabilities but i feel something was lost when fujifilm moved production of some of its bodies outside of Japan.

[@BoiseTDI]

Isn’t the XH2S built in Japan?

[@JHurrenPhotography]

Perfect video for me! I've had the XT3 since shortly after it's release. Of course I'm tempted by an upgrade. I don't need it yet though, and I'm really thinking I can hold out awhile to see what's coming out over the next couple years. Whatever I do will require new battery purchases anyhow. Thanks for making this vid!

[@charliejg]

I doubt I'll be upgrading unless the prices are crazy good. There are a few reasons I've considered it. First is for IBIS(I'm getting older!), secondly the battery life, and finally the sensor would be better for cropping. But, I really like my X-T3 and have been more interested in lenses. That XF50-140 keeps calling to me! But, big bucks. LOL! BTW, the X-T3 has Classic Negative. I like that sim for photo walks/street in daylight. Thanks for the comparison and summary. Have a great week!

[@Iamtongue]

The xt3 has classic negative?! Since when? I do apologize for getting that wrong then haha 😅

[@charliejg]

@@Iamtongue Oh crap, the camera doesn't have it, I add it in post via Capture One!! Sorry....

[@Iamtongue]

@@charliejg interesting how they give you that film sim

[@charliejg]

@@IamtongueYeah, I can't remember how that happened any more. But I do use it.

[@TheeManWIthNoLife]

If the X-T5 is using a badass plastic like Polycarbonate, then I see no issue with them using it! I death grip my camera when I don't have it strapped to me anyway. Only major downside I've seen is the new sensor isn't as good for video because it turns to rolling shutter jello more easily than the X-T3. Other than that, I think it's worth the upgrade for all the other improvements! I just feel the need to have a whole other camera just for video. If some of the newer Fuji cameras didn't have better video features then I'd just hang onto my X-T3 but the thing is starting to show its age a little. Still a fantastic and impressive camera, though! I would like to get an X-H2S since it seems like one of the best photo and video cameras... But them extra fourteen megapixels would be so helpful for some of the stuff I do! Mostly macro photography stuff and moon pictures. X-T5 would be a great B video camera, though.

[@DIYBill]

I’ve seen people struggling with pasm dials to set aperture iso and SS. I just continue to smile when they are next to me.

[@aucourant9998]

They should reduce the number of megapixels which would allow them to increase the low-light capability. They should also install a button to prevent the exposure compensation dial from moving accidentally. This would make the next version of the XT5 a really great camera.

[@ghostofgw7781]

On my X-T3 i found that by changing setting on Face-eye autofocus set to the right eye (can be on left) only instead of both i had a lot better results. If he lost the right eye he jump on the left, it's more acurate, just saying. I dont feel penalized by my X-T3 it's a keeper for me this camera is special. But i'm really tempted by the XH2-s or XH2 for another kind of experience. Keep the good work !

[@Iamtongue]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll keep that in mind

[@jandekker6055]

I held the xt5 in a shop and it felt fine. But the dials moved in their sockets, and i don’t mean just going round like they’re meant to. That put me off.

[@alienmoondudes8071]

Can you please compare the xh1 and the xt3?

[@Iamtongue]

I wish. I don’t have the xh1

[@brianode11]

XT5 is awesome! I still use my XT1. 🙌

[@Iamtongue]

OG

[@JHurrenPhotography]

Those XT1 raws are so maliable! Shadow recovery of my XT3 is a disappointment in comparison. I can't imagine how bad it probably is for XT5 files. Please Fujifilm, bring out a new, lower mp camera.

[@9Mtikcus]

well our business has an X-T5, which is used for certain things that require the new processor.. I personally still shoot with the X-T3 and I'll replace it when it breaks... Since I don't crop images with what I do (apart from to print at 16" x 12" which requires cropping the image into a 4/3 aspect ration) the 26MP is enough for my professional work. If anything... I'd be tempted by the X-H2s or the camera Fuji never released the X-T5s (or give me an X-S20 Pro, same as X-S20 but with weather sealing and 2 card slots)

[@leonardocabrera468]

Hi bro, would you say xh2s has more "cinematic look video" than the xh2 and xt5? Or it's also possible to achieve similar looks on those 2, I wanna change my xh2s for xt5 only cuz I love the retro look but Im afraid to notice a big video downgrade 😢

[@Iamtongue]

It' does have a more softer look to it. But it's honestly not that bad coming from the xh2 and the XT5. I am filming some videos with the xt5 and I thought I would hate the footage. But to my surprise it was good.

[@leonardocabrera468]

​@@Iamtonguethanks! I wasn't sure cuz there are a lot of amazing videos on KZbin recorded with the xh2s so its like not many people take the time to make a very well made cinematic video with the xt5 and post it :(

[@MisAnkic]

What about rolling shutter comparation? I expect xt3 to be ahead of xt5, due to lower resolution sensor?

[@Iamtongue]

I don’t use the xt5 for video so I can’t really comment on the rolling shutter. The last time I used the xt5 for video was almost a year ago. And I don’t remember noticing anything jarring.

[@adrianpirvan3832]

Hi! I'm struggling to find a comprehensive answer to the following question, so I hope you can help me with that: Are the film simulations on the xt3 as good as on the xt5? Are there differences to be considered regarding the film sims?

[@Iamtongue]

yes its the same

[@jamescraig3345]

I use the X-t5 but still have the X-t3 for backup and sometimes second body/lens. Both work better with the L-grip. I have only one complaint about the X-T5 - it would be nice to have a half/resolution setting for some fast work.

[@Iamtongue]

Dude, that's what I've been telling Fuji to do for hte 100mp sensor as well. 😅

[@UKMike2009]

Is there a definitive guide to which Fuji lenses are actually capable of resolving for the XT5 sensor? I'm guessing all of the Pro XF lenses are fine, but what about the "old" XF lenses and the affordable XFs - any to avoid?

[@Iamtongue]

if you go on their website, there are certain lenses they said won't be able to resolve it such as the xf 35mm f1.4 I don't know about others but there are definitely some.

[@jojoaugustus1383]

Aarrgg. Owner of a XT20, which I love most of the time, I was thinking on changing for the XT3...or XT5. I was willing to just upgrade to the XT3 but now... I want the XT5

[@Iamtongue]

good luck ahha

[@idknothing7893]

cant the xt3 record 4.2.2 internally in h.265

[@Iamtongue]

I beleive it's 4.2.0

[@DanielMenn]

Could you make a video about how color grading (videos) works, didnt understand F-Log so far. Appreciate it

[@Iamtongue]

What don’t you understand? Cuz I don’t know much about color grading as well. But I can try

[@DanielMenn]

​@@Iamtongue You show in your videos how you record in F Log and then apply beautiful colors to the video by editing (Luts?). How do you do that? I hope that was understandable

[@leonardocabrera468]

I Need help bro 🥺 gotta choose between xt5 and xh2s, you think its possible to get that "cinematic look" on the xt5? If you tell me video on xh2s looks better straight out of camera compared to xt5, I'll get the xh2s right then, just confirm hahah

[@Iamtongue]

Didn’t I answer this question already?

[@ricardocruz1487]

Hi, thx for your video. Which 35mm lens are you using in the min 3.00? Thx

[@Iamtongue]

That is the 7artisans 35mm cine lens

[@Grimfango]

I'd love to know if you think the XT5 is noticeably better / worth the price compared to the XT4 please (I currently own neither!)

[@Iamtongue]

It is, for AF, updated sensor, 40mp 4k60, 6.2k video. But if you don't need all that hte XT4 is fine.

[@DanielMenn]

Which do you prefer all in all, the Panasonic s5 or xt5?

[@Iamtongue]

I prefer the xt5, the s5ii although a great camera it’s not inspiring like the xt5. I have more fun with the Fuji camera

[@akanbilincoln1307]

Good talk, bro. Tell Fujifilm to upgrade the auto-focus of XT3. It's still a very good desire camera 📷 to have.

[@Iamtongue]

okay

[@peacefulremedy1233]

Would love a comparison to the xh2 if you ever feel like it if not all good :)

[@Iamtongue]

Unfortunately I don’t have the xh2 anymore

[@westdk6705]

There is one thing that I like the new ASPECT RATIONS in XT5 - 5:4 baby !

[@Iamtongue]

TRUE 😤

[@mr02gixxer1000]

Also the XT3 has battery grip which I appreciate! For grip especially when shooting portraits vertically!! The XT5 not having a battery grip the biggest reason why I would not buy that camera!!

[@fejulegacy]

Exactly

[@Iamtongue]

That’s a good point!

[@parmanduke]

XT5 af, battery life, and ibis makes it worth the upgrade. I love mine.

[@sakithr6034]

How good is the AF? I will be coming from an xt20

[@Iamtongue]

Hell ya 🤘🍻💀

[@parmanduke]

@@Iamtongue Forgot about the 40mp lol

[@jojoaugustus1383]

​@@sakithr6034I also have the XT-20. Did you upgrade for the XT5. Are you happy ?

[@DavidLeicamFotografia]

I would like the X-T6 to come with 24 megapixels and artificial intelligence.

[@Iamtongue]

Same!

[@merczedes]

why?

[@SquirrelHybrid]

The obvious answer is Yes if you want IBIS and all the other goodies. 🙂 But what advancements in technology could there be that would get X-T5 owners to upgrade? 🤔 Some other differences: LCD: X-T3 has 1.04 million dots while X-T5 has 1.84 million dots; X-T5's screen can slightly pull away from the camera for better top-down viewing. Pixel Shift: X-T5 has it, it's amazing under ideal conditions, but no one wants to bother with it. 😮‍💨

[@Iamtongue]

I tried pixel shift and im not a fan. The software for it sucks.

[@SquirrelHybrid]

True, it's like you need to put the camera on something sturdier than a tripod for it to not give errors. 😅

[@Iamtongue]

HOW CAN YOU MESS UP A SHOT ON A TRIPOD THOUGH?! that was my frustration with the software haha

[@SquirrelHybrid]

I KNOW! I need to do more thorough testing to be sure, but my guess is that the camera might've had micro movements from settling on the rubber padding. 🤦‍♂

[@breakaway2x]

If you have an XT1 or XT2 then upgrading to XT5 is worth it. If you already just bought an XT4, then don't waste money to upgrade to XT5 unless you are hella rich and buying mirrorless cameras every 3 months is nothing to you, then fine, upgrade every month. Don't forget, upgrading also usually means you'll have to buy a brand new PC ($5K) to get better graphics cards and processing power to keep up with your constant upgrading lol. You'll need to spend another 1K to buy a few 20-30TB hard drives for storage as those will be quickly used up if recording at 6K, 8K raw. And don't forget all the memory cards you'll have to upgrade too. The worst feeling is when you upgrade and then realize your PC isn't powerful enough to even process the files lol. OOPS.

[@Iamtongue]

That is correct. I got people telling me they can't play Flog-2 videos.

[@71co0k]

The XT5 is made of the same magnesium alloy as the previous XT series bodies. They probably just used a thinner version of it for weight savings. So same quality material, just less of it.

[@Kliffot]

What about paint quality ? heard it's not as durable as it used to be. Also dials feels cheap now...

[@71co0k]

@@Kliffot I have found that neither of those things are true. At least not with the copy I just got a week ago. It's possible that they have listened to reviewer feedback and made some QA improvements quietly and behind the scenes, I don't know. But it feels solid without any loose parts and very high quality. It's just not as heavy and not as textured on the paint, as previous iterations. I contend that they likely just streamlined the materials in a way that it feels lighter and smoother without compromising quality. Time will tell I guess though.

[@Kliffot]

@@71co0k What is annoying is that the XH2 kept that textured paint just like the old Fuji body. Time will tell I guess yes.

[@alcedo_kf]

I believe Fujifilm get away with mrder in several aspects of the kit they produce; reduced quality in camera bodies with premium prices (remember the XT1 bending door?); and lenses full of 'quirks', 'magic' and 'character' (in other words sub-standard compared to say Canon lenses) I'm beginning to have a change of heart in regards to Fujifilm kit.

[@Edvanfleury]

I am afraid of watch this video and you destroy my dream to have a T5 when indeed i dont need one rn...

[@Iamtongue]

LOL 😆 sorry

[@sup3rs0p0]

Nope, good direct to the xh2 and i hope Santa brings me the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 :)

[@Iamtongue]

HAha going all out!

[@Thomas_Geist]

All I hear comments, saying that the X-T5 is, “plasticy feeling.“ Is the camera magnesium, or really made out of plastic? If the body is made out of metal, then why do people say it feels like plastic?

[@Iamtongue]

Well you said it right there. Feeling it is one thing. What is made from is a different thing.

[@Thomas_Geist]

@@Iamtongue I have a T3 and T4, and have at one time owned just about all previous models- sometimes more than once. As far as I am concerned, the industry has about peaked technically, and I probably will never upgrade again. Question still is what is the T5 made of? why are people saying it feels like it’s made of plastic? Not that I wouldn’t put it past the Chinese manufacturers.

@@Iamtongue it’s not the only reason to upgrade, but it’s the one that keeps me stupefied. I also prefer the ergonomics, battery life, and overall performance.

@@awake780 no no not saying you are. I just think image quality from the previous gen to the new 40mp sensor all looks the same. Its just more details we are getting.. so I was just curious about why you think the IQ is good haha 😂
