First Look: The Fujifilm X-T5 | My Initial Thoughts Compared To The X-H2

[@FredRanger]

Are you getting the X-T5? If yes, why over the X-H2?

[@nickdual]

I think your mic is a little noisy! so bright!

[@FredRanger]

Too much compression. Need to find the sweet spot with this configuration.

[@nickdual]

@@FredRanger manybe Neumann microphones

[@FredRanger]

No no, the Sure SM7B is usually brilliant for this use, it really is because I went too far with compression on this one.

I am threading december, when i decide if i go with one of them and make either my xt4 to my daily carry or a xs20 (wouldnt make much sense, if i take the xt5 to make the bigger and heavier camera to my daily, as i do need for the daily a flip out screen (for protection of the screen, from the zipper of my jacket)).

[@chloescanlon1107]

Filmmakers prefer the flip up screen too, believe it or not. In shooting 500 weddings now I’ve never needed to film myself. It’s simply KZbinrs who’ve influenced this new trend. Wonder why?

[@FredRanger]

True that, Chloe! (Although I might have been guilty of sharing my “want” for a flip out screen for my KZbin “needs” with Fujifilm way back 😂) The good news is that there is now more options and the product lines are différenciâtes with the XH vs X-T, it becomes a matter of personal preference :) keep on shooting 🤘🏻

Congrats on the 2nd zine Fred :) Are you gonna keep it ? Or is it just for testing / reviewing ? Can't wait to see the shots :) Welcome back to KZbin and to Fuji :)

[@FredRanger]

Thanks my friend! Been out shooting all day with it and I will admit that I’m really impressed by the performance and image quality. Being so invested on the Leica shooting experience side of things, not sure ai will buy one, but I do have an X-H2s (and an old X-70) and my girlfriend has the X-E4, so I can always have a Fuji camera at my disposal if need be :) cheers!

[@BenLomonRail]

I’m still sticking with my X-T4, as it still completely satisfies my needs as a photographer. Though I would prefer the 2-axis tilt screen over the flip screen I have.

[@FredRanger]

X-T4 is a top notch machine! I do like the new AF algorithm and speed of the T5 and tilt up screen, but the T4 is good for the next 5 years at least!

[@BenLomonRail]

@@FredRanger I would upgrade for the AF alone, but I haven’t been in a situation where the X-T4’s AF has let me down. Except maybe tracking in video, but I rarely do that anymore. For photos it’s plenty adequate!

Ordered a printed copy 😉

[@FredRanger]

Thank you so much. Hope you like it!

[@2hungpham]

Does it have a user manual? Thanks.

[@FredRanger]

The user manuals are now available to download online (saving some trees and costs for Fuji…)

[@ZhaVioRxGFX]

test it out with nikkor lens.

[@FredRanger]

That would be a great idea!

That word, yes! Hehe
