Why I Love the Fujifilm XT5

[@RCGJR_]

Don’t forget about the aesthetics of the camera, it’s a timeless piece.

[@jbivphotography]

Exactly. The look is amazing and it’s classic.

[@chair_smesh]

@@dodatkidominecrafta4762 I had the a7s iii and I've been lying to myself that a7s iii is just as good and 12mp is more than enough. Now that I sold mine for the XT-5, I have no regrets. The images are just so much better and less digital looking.

@@H.iMAtelier I really like my fuji and did consider both of those when I was looking for a camera.

[@jbivphotography]

I’m always half and half on IBIS mainly because I shoot styles that mainly involve people. IBIS helps with getting lower shutter speeds handheld, but if people are involved that kinda doesn’t matter. So it’s helpful but for a wedding photographer it’s kind of few and far between.

[@michaelkawano1951]

@@jbivphotography interesting. Generally I don’t disagree, but for people and events, I find that IBIS still helps a ton eliminating MY instability. Very useful to me, especially since the X-T5 still isn’t all that great at high ISO, so I try to keep my shutter speeds as low as the scene will allow.

[@peterjackhandy]

I've had & loved the x-t2, x-t3 & x-t4, and now have the x-t5. I don't understand why people, mostly those who've never used one, disregard the x-t4 as a perfectly logical upgrade in the x-t line: As far as I'm concerned it worked/works better than any of its forebears, with the only exception being that horrible flippy screen. I haven't sold my x-t4, as I wanted to be sure there's no downside to the increased resolution, but have only used it once, for a 60 second video, since buying the x-t5: I'm just grateful that Fuji retained the Still/Video switch, retaining all the settings for each which enables instant change-over.

[@dugongdan]

[@InfiniteEyes369]

They heavily advertised 4K, 60 cinematic movie recording When They released the Xt4 & It. I’m looking for an interchangeable lens mount camera with solid color science similar to the Fuji XT5’s and was just wondering if anybody noticed that it has some form of active cooling fan or what when recording 4K 60 or other resolutions and frame rates? I’ve read alot about the xt4 & this overheating in just 30 seconds or more where many have complained about it overheating anywhere from 4 minutes or less. The only thing that makes me reluctant to purchase a Fuji is the fact that a true hybrid camera with solid Professional cinematic video for client & corporate Work should have unlimited recording in all Of it’s resolutions & accompanying frame rates in order to be considered reliable.

[@SPAHI43]

Paired with a new prime like 23mm 1.4 or 33mm 1.4 this sensor delivers amazing sharpness and resolution

[@jbivphotography]

YES! Exactly.

[@jibi9275]

It's the best upgrade from XT3 ! For XT4 owner, that's debatable...

[@jbivphotography]

I’d agree. The X-T4 sits in a special place and the X-T5 is pretty close to it. But from the 3 it’s a great upgrade.

For still photos, would you say the XT-5 is better than the XH2s? I've heard the AF on the XH2s is incredible due to the stacked sensor

How hard can it be to focus a still photo? You dont need stacked sensor for that.

If you're not doing sports, it's overkill. I work professionally with the X-H2s and I love it but I wouldn't buy it if I was a hobbyist. It's just a little too much camera and too much money.

Cinematic video is more so due to how you record it, what lenses you use, and your settings rather than the camera. Knowing how to get a cinematic look comes first. The camera second. I’m sure you could get a great look out of if if you wanted.
