X100V Vs XT5 Comparison

[@macjim]

I have both cameras, the X100v from launch (sold my X-T1 and lenses to get it) and recently bought the X-T5 kit and XF-35mm (sold my Sony @7 3 and lenses). I’m much more impressed with the images out of both Fujifilm cameras than the Sony… seriously!

[@rajesh19kaushik]

I was debating buying x-t5 over a7iii.Just curious, what made you choose the Fuji??

[@macjim]

@@rajesh19kaushik well, I bought the Sony @7 3 as I wanted a full frame sensor camera (but I don’t like canon and Nikon; especially Nikon (past bad experiences with Nikon)) but I wasn’t impressed with the image quality I got from the Sony. I went and replaced it with the X-T5 based on my current, and previous Fujifilm cameras due to the image quality I’ve had over the years. My X100v actually betters the X-T5 in my opinion but has less pixels to play with. I felt the X-T5’s 48 megapixels not only gave me the image quality Fujifilm has always given me but it also gave me cropping power too. Basically it’s more usable than most cameras but still has the Fuji look that the x-trans sensor gives me. It’s just something about what Fuji cameras output that has me enjoying over other brands. I’ve had Canon pocket cameras, Nikon DSLR’s, Sony cameras, Leica and other brands but I seem to always end up back using Fujifilm X-Trans sensor cameras. But if I can save enough money and it finally comes into stock next year, I’m thinking about selling both to buy a Leica Q3… I’d love to keep the Fuji’s but they will have to be sold to fund the Q3… I will miss them. PS remember, the Sony is a much older camera so while it’s still a good camera the X-T5 is a younger model and Fujifilm has a history of updating the software while Sony is less so to update.

@@rajesh19kaushikwhich one did you end up getting?

[@jasonblack2460]

I’m loving the X100v for hiking and traveling in combination with my Pentax 67. If I couldn’t have gotten the x100v for retail then I would have just got the X-T5. Great video and insight.

[@SeanNeale]

I know many people wont agree, but the x100V isn't really that compact. But I do like how simple the process feels in terms of the decision to pick a lens etc is already made for you.

[@jhills1998]

agreed! I have an X-E3 and it's so much smaller and lighter than the x100V. I tried one in the fujifilm store in London and didn't realise how chunky it was. With the option of using the 27mm pancake withe the X-E3, its much nicer in the hand personally

[@portraitblake]

Yeah when you actually hold it’s like wth is everyone talking about. The Canon M6Mk II with the 22mm competes with is much smaller

[@noahsedillo5470]

Yeah I think everyone who says the x100v is pocket sized is just saying that for the hype. In all reality, putting my x100v in my pocket is extremely uncomfortable unless I’m wearing cargo pants or a jacket/hoodie

[@brownbear100]

I think the people saying that are A - buying into the hype and engaging in confirmation bias, or B - using alongside a big full frame cam. The x100v, like the X-e4 are not small, compact or pocketable... unless you have big pockets. Doesn't mean it's not good, but I think people used to compact cameras coming to this will be surprised by its size.

[@luisparra5075]

If all you want is compactness, then pick a GRIII. For everything else, the X-T5 is the best choice.

[@linusandhiscamera]

brother you made me want to buy an XT5 in less than 10 minutes that's crazy

[@brownbear100]

Preferred the x-t5 also and ended up selling the x100v. I liked it very much aesthetically, and there's times I don't want a more professional looking camera and to blend in more. But the x100v isn't really that compact either. And I prefer the images coming out of the new sensor - a bit more pop and saturation SOOC. Had the x70 for a while, and that size and what you get out of it is great. You won't get as much feel good "look at me and my cool camera" vibe out of it. But it's so much more compact with its own cool unique features. But its showing its age in terms of build quality, menus, and IQ. I may well end up with a GR camera if Fuji isn't going to make a more compact version as a light option. The way I see it, if it's going to be as bulky as a x100v, I could sell some of the bigger fast primes and just pick up a Q2 or 3. At €1200 the X100v makes a compelling buy ... at closer to €1800, what I sold mine for - really no. Then I'd rather buy an x-t30 or x-e4 and a small lens for less. Currently my small walkaround set up is X-t5 + 16 2.8. Electronic teleconverter gets you to 22mm anyway! Will be watching Fuji and Ricoh closely over the next few months. New x100 coming for Fuji in the spring, about time for a new GR too.

[@brownbear100]

[@robertrowles4948]

You’re absolutely right when you talk about size and weight, plus flexibility. If you are any sort enthusiast/serious photographer, why restrict yourself to one fixed focal length? Yes, you have the additional cost of lenses, but each one is almost like owning a different camera, offering you so much added potential. You buy them as and when you can afford, or need them, and you hang onto them when you decide to buy another Fuji camera. I’ve been there and the X100 cameras are great, but I always wanted something a bit longer, or wider.

[@A1000Truths]

I agree with you. The X-T5 is my go to Fujifilm. My x100v is currently in the packaging box. Most likely save it for my daughter for her to use it down the road.

[@Jgheiler]

What lens do you use with it the most as an EDC?

[@A1000Truths]

@@Jgheiler I just got the Fujifilm 18mm F2 lens. It's an old one but it's compact and with the image processor in the X-T5 it works great. If not that then usually the new Fujifilm 23mm F1.4.

@@A1000Truths do you find the xf23mmf1.4 mk2 comfortable? It seems big for the xt5?

[@Amcacs5654]

[@nourhanbalian3294]

XT5 such a great choice, since its very adaptable to any situation, when 28mm lens is added it becomes almost the same as the x100v which is a bonus, me I did something similar with Sony A7c2 with 28mm TArtisan lens, and sold the x100v also have Ricoh gr3x as true pocket camera always with me, super sharp too

[@Ex14]

I think for alot of photographers lugging around their workhorse gear, the X-T5 is gonna feel "small" and "compact" but honestly for common folk, the X100 size is a better fit for them as it takes up a much smaller space in their bags (given how compct the 23mm lens is on the x100). Im just getting my feet back into photos but even with the 23f2 i cant help but wish my camera (the even smaller X-E1) was more compact, perhaps akin to its size with the 27 f2.8 or 18 f2 lens (but retaining the 23mm f2)

[@venom2k2]

I was curious about the x100 line and got a used x100f. Very fun and awesome camera, but I prefer my x pro3 much more. Coming from that camera, the x100f feels a bit like a small toy. Absolutely understand why people love the camera though. From asthetics to the whole user experience it is a beautiful camera.

[@olivertrees]

never understood the hype about the X100v when the x pro 3 exists. throw the exact same lens on it and you get the options of everything else as well, not even mentioning the cool rear screen.

[@cammackey]

Great coverage brutha

[@mrpurple33]

I have the x100v, and want a interchangable lens camera too. Should I go with the x-t5 or a full frame option.. just because the x100v and xt-5 are kind of similar?

[@mohdnorazmil]

I got the gfx100ii.. just looking for 2nd camera and torn between xt-5 and the new x100vi

[@mrbigg2u]

Me too... I have the x100f, which I love, the discreit size is a joy in comparison to the 100s and 50r. But the autofocus is shabby on the f... I'm looking at the xt5 but my heart says x100 still... no arsing about with lenses. Compact, sexy af :) PS. get the screw on 50mm as an extra, it's fab

[@martinermis9780]

[@snarkyguy]

How would you rate the weight / carry ability of the XT5 vs the X100v if I have the WCL on the X100v all the time?

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

I don’t own the Wcl so I can’t say specifically - but the Xt5 really doesn’t way me down too much. I love it

[@austinlburke]

[@chair_smesh]

I just received my XT5 + 27mm pancake lens yesterday. Been contemplating for a year on selling my Sony and I finally got rid of it.

[@omeryonis5493]

Hey how this combo going for you? Is it portable enough to take it anywhere? And why you like it better than your Sony?

[@chair_smesh]

@@omeryonis5493 yeah it's super portable and the images are beautiful. Although the focus is kinda loud on this lens and not as instant as a Sony, but it's still reliable. I replaced this over my Sony because of it's portability, way smaller size and it looks less clunky when taking portrait photos outside. Also, mainly because of the beautiful Fuji colors. Lightroom includes the film simulations as picture profiles for this camera, so I can just add one of the profiles and edit on top of that. It's so much quicker adding that simulation on a RAW image than trying to get that look in Sony in the first place. Also you can buy an EX-F8 flash if you want to take point and shoot flash style photos at night/parties.

[@michaelklein23]

Okay so for myself in 2024 essentially just wanting to upgrade from my iphone camera and having the fuji simulation recipes the x100v/x100vi is more than enough. However they are not available anywhere for retail and in my messed up mind I would feel cheated if I pay what scalpers are asking for. So I'm thinking to get the xt5 which is actually less than the x100vi even with a kit lens (where I'm from) but then having the option to swap out the lens is actually a problem for me cause now the selection process is daunting having all these options and scared I'm eventually going to want them all. The x100vi eliminates that and a couple of adapters would suffice.

[@waveuare]

Before moving to Leica, the silver X-T5 was my first camera for six months. Classic design, intutitive dials, and amazing performance. These are the modifiers that can most simply and quickly describe the X-T5. I miss this camera sometimes.

Wonderful points and insight....at this point in time...if you paid "resale" prices for the X100V..that was probably not a wise decision...yes that camera is cool..but at the same time it seems overhyped..the tech and specs on it is a few years old now..and you are better off waiting for the next iteration of the X100 or X200 or whatever they are going to call it..but the more practical choice and also price is obviously the XT5 or even a X-S20?..with the new processors, sensors, better AF..etc..and its still a good form factor..haha some places its hard to get the "silver" XT5 color way now..haha

well Im planning to buy x100v or xt5 but its my first time buying a camera so im not really sure what to choose i kinda want somthing that can be useful in video either and i guess 100v isnt that good but the price range between them is kinda high xt5 is pretty high for my budget but i can force myself for it but idk if is it really necessery to buy somthing more proffesional or 100v is enough can someone pls give me a hand

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Honestly if you can afford the Xt5 + a cheap lens it’s miles better than the x100 in terms of features and usability IMO. But - with the new x100vi getting released it’s much more of a competitive choice since they have the same sensor

[@leestanford2452]

The lens on the x100v alone is worth more than then camera costs.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

😮 I own an XT5 and can't decide if to get a second body or X100V ... I'm probably in that space where I shoot professionally for some things in my landscape photography and some other work that I do, but I'm not a full-time professional photographer but what I hate is changing lenses. I like to be able to go to a shoot with two lenses and not have to change all the time it's quite irritating and given that the sensor is exposed, you end up with a lot of dirt and grime on your sensor which didn't happen with a DSLR. After watching this video and digesting it, I'm probably going to end up getting a second XT5 and get a pancake lens put on it and that can be my walkabout camera. Ultimately it is a better camera than the X100V Thanks
