I bought a FujiFilm XT5 in 2024. Was it a mistake?

The more I shoot the more I realize gear does matter but only to a certain degree. I bought a new camera that came out in the fall of 2022 and wonder if that was the right move?

hi jeremy !! absolutely love the slow pace of the video. feels like a warm hug

[@jeremygouge]

I will take that as a HUGE compliment lol. Thank you

As well as all the points he made, I'd like to add the following. If anything, 2024 is a great time to buy the X-T5. 1. The X-T50 just dropped and unless your main concern is compactness, the X-T5 is the better buy (it has current offer where I live) and only 200 bucks more expensive than the X-T50. 2. After the numerous firmware updates since launch, the X-T5 has benefited from several additional features and improvements

[@jeremygouge]

I agree completely! Thank you!

I feel part of the photographer journey is trying LOTS of different gear. I have been on this journey as well, and for me it all crashed to the point where I looked at the very basics and decided what made me the most happy to use, and went with that. Limitations and all... without limitations the artform of photography is lost. Looks like you are well on your photographic adventure at this point, keep making amazing images!

[@jeremygouge]

Thank you for those kinds words and I can’t agree more. I love the gear and finding what inspires me keeps me going and going.

[@jrnsnsterudbraten9431]

Yes! and I`l do the same mistake...

[@jeremygouge]

Haha. Mistakes are just “happy little trees” according to Bob Ross

ive been slowly paring down what lenses i carry with my x-t5. lately ive taken to using alot of old olympus om glass alongside fuji and third party pancake lenses. the om 100mm f2.8 in particular is such a cool little lens and i think its going to stick around for a while

[@jeremygouge]

I would love to see work with combo! How can I follow you?

Hey in case you're on the latest firmware and feel like the AF is not as good as it should be, it's an issue with the firmware. Fuji has said that an update should come soon. The update will also include the Reala Ace simulation.

[@jeremygouge]

I am on the latest firmware but wasn’t at first and definitely notice the AF fall off. Hopefully soon

@@jeremygouge I think they said by the end of this month, but my memory tends to be not good. =P
