The Fujifilm X-T5 will replace the premium X-T4 in the model line, which is considered one of the best and at the same time the most affordable hybrid cameras that serve both photographers and videographers equally well.
Fujifilm's XT line has been popular with retro camera enthusiasts since the launch of the X-T1 in 2014. The X-T5 continues this legacy by combining physical controls for shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation and high aperture on the lens with a modern 40.2MP X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor . Its X-Processor 5 processor has built-in artificial intelligence technology for advanced subject-detection AF, improved auto-whitening and support for HEIF files. The aforementioned controls are joined by dual adaptive control buttons, a 3.69-million-dot OLED EVF, a three-way tilting rear LCD screen, and in-camera stabilization with up to 7.0 stops of compensation.
The X-T5 also features a 40.2 MP “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” back-illuminated sensor and “X-Processor 5” high-speed image processing engine. Superior image quality is possible thanks to the smooth skin effect and high-precision automatic white balance based on artificial intelligence. The ability to use ISO125 as the standard sensitivity and high shutter speed up to 1/180000 second ensures a variety of photographic expressions. The X-T5 boasts a compact body that weighs around 557g, which is around 50g lighter than the previous X-T4 model. Other features that enable high mobility include five-axis IBIS up to 7.0 stops, AI-based subject detection autofocus to maintain focus on animals and birds, and high-speed autofocus to achieve focus on the subject in the shortest possible time - 0.02 seconds.
The X-T5 inherits the signature style of the center viewfinder and rotary knob of the XT series. It is equipped with a three-way tilting LCD monitor with 1.84 million dots, which makes shooting in a vertical position or at waist height more comfortable. Other features that add convenience to the user experience include the ability to record 10-bit 4:2:2 video at 6.2K/30P, 0.8x viewfinder zoom, 3.69 million-dot EVF, and dual SD card slots. Still missing is 4K/120 fps recording, which will be missed especially by videographers.
