The new Fujifilm X-T5 mirrorless camera offers some of the company's most advanced features and capabilities, all in the popular and beloved X-T style body. This excellent video review takes a look at the camera and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage.
Coming to you from Maarten Heilbron, this great video review takes a look at the new Fujifilm X-T5 mirrorless camera. The X-T series of mirrorless cameras has long been quite popular, and in its fifth generation now, it has matured into a highly capable machine suitable for a range of needs and applications, supported with features like:

- Minimum native ISO of 125
- ]Maximum electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec
- 5-axis in-body image stabilization offering as much as 7 stops of compensation
- Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode for 160-megapixel images
- 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder offering 0.8x magnification
- Three-way tilting rear touchscreen
- Two card slots
- Subject Detection autofocus for tracking animals, birds, and other common subjects
- 19 film simulation modes
- 1.84-million-dot, three-way tilting rear LCD
- Weight: 1.23 lbs (557 g) (50 g lighter than X-T4)

- Optional MHG-XT5 hand grip
Check out the video above for Heilbron's full thoughts on the X-T5.
I've had every Fujifilm X series camera, including the X-T5. There definitely a boost in resolution, but it's overshadowed by how poor the images look straight out of camera. I find that the files from every previous camera looks much nicer without doing any post processing. The X-T5 requires quite a bit more sharpening and contrast to reach acceptable levels. Colors are also different. I'm not sure this is due to the new processor and sensor combination, or Photoshops ability to properly render RAW files from the new X-Trans sensor. Hopefully someone with Capture One or some other software can chime in on this.
Roger I’ve been having about the opposite experience.. upgrading from the XT3 to the 5 has been a fantastic experience across the board. SOOC jpeg results, in particular, are better than ever for me. I’m having no IQ issues with RAW files either, but I also use Capture One so I can’t comment on Photoshop’s translation.
