Video mode also adds stirring correction to DIS, with a new processor function that effectively corrects ‘blurring,’ which tends to occur in fixed-point shooting with wide-angle lenses. Topping off video stabilisation improvements is a more powerful IS mode boost, which is ideal when shooting walking shots, offering enhanced correction for run-and-gun movie scenarios. Extensive lens ecosystem The X-T5 sports the same 40MP BSI CMOS chip as its sibling, the X-H2, and is capable of the same outstanding class-leading APS-C image quality. Studio scene The Alpha 6700 has a 3-inch 1,03M-dot LCD monitor with a vari-angle design that is arguably more versatile and better suited to video use, but we'd have expected to see a much higher resolution screen on a new camera released in 2023.

The XT5 offers a highest video quality rate of 6.2K/30p with a modest 1.23x crop recorded in 4:2:2 10-bit internally. Explore the re-imaged Fujifilm XT5 collection at Harrison Cameras. Giving you the timeless, classic camera body with five generations of technological evolution for outstanding optical performance. Comparable in size to the original X-T1 and 50g lighter than its predecessor, the compact, lightweight body of the Fujifilm XT5 is perfect for taking on the go, so you can document those special moments in premium-quality wherever, whenever. In all, the X-T5 takes a very photo-oriented approach to its ergonomics. Fuji includes an on-screen Silent Video Control for video, but the cinema-minded creator is much better served with an X-H2 or X-H2S. These models support ProRes recording either at 8K (for the X-H2) or at 4K with fast sensor readout for the X-H2S, along with a mainstream Mode-based control scheme. The Sony A6700 has a native ISO range of 100-32,000, and both can be pushed two stops further to ISO 204,800 and drop down to ISO 50 if required.Although they share similar key specifications and features, the Sony A6700 and the Fujifilm X-T5 actually differ a lot when it comes to their appearance and control layout, with the former model also being priced lower than the latter.

And while slowing the mechanical burst to 10fps effectively gave me unlimited JPEG bursts, I could still only capture 20 uncompressed RAW files at this speed before the camera slowed. In contrast the X-H2 captured 136 uncompressed RAWs at 15 fps using a CF Express card or 68 with SD. In my tests I confirmed the X-T5’s top mechanical burst speed of 15fps, even with continuous autofocus, where I was able to capture 329 large fine JPEGs before the camera slowed. That’s over 20 seconds of action at the full resolution, so should be fine for most scenarios, plus the buffer emptied almost immediately when using a fast UHS II SD card. movies can be recorded internally at 30P in 4:2:2 10-bit color. X-T5 features the 4K HQ mode, which uses 6.2K over-sampling to produce high-quality video, while making the maximum advantage of the high-resolution sensor to deliver video in superior image resolution. The camera is equipped with a high-magnification 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification. Compared to the previous model, the viewfinder has improved suppression of parallax and distortion, which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder, for stellar visibility.

ISO Speed

The X-T5 still uses a 3.64M dot OLED viewfinder but it makes use of the higher magnification optics of the X-H2, giving it an impressive 0.8x equiv. magnification. The finder can be operated at up to 100fps in Boost mode, not quite the 120fps offered in the X-H2. Fujifilm says the eye sensor for switching between LCD and EVF should be around twice as fast as on the X-T4, making the camera feel more responsive. The X-H series has become the true flagship, debuting new technologies with the least restrictions and aimed at those who demand the fastest speed and greatest video capabilities. Overall, I’m just not convinced this is worth the hassle and card space. It’s certainly nowhere near as practical as Olympus/OM System and Panasonic’s implementations, which are both very usable. Then again, it’s not as if you need more than 40MP very often, anyway. Fujifilm X-T5: ISO and noise

For example our 30cm subject at 20m will, with a 600mm lens, be rendered as 1/4 the sensor width of a FF sensor (it covers 120cm horizontally at 20m on FF), so will be covered by 1/4 of the pixels across that sensor. If you have a 24MP camera, with 6000 pixels across the sensor, the subject will be covered by 1500 pixels, with the A1 you have 8640 pixels across so the subject has 2160 pixels across it. Ghosting artefacts are still present in the 160MP version, but less intense and spread out over a larger area. The sea is rendered more convincingly, at least. Swapping to either 6K30 or the high-quality 4K30 mode ups picture quality noticeably, but makes a couple of trade-offs. Angle of view is one, as these modes introduce a 1.23x crop, limiting the view of lenses. And the sensor readout speed is slower, enough where rolling shutter distortion is worrisome. XF 30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro, f/2.8, 1/110-second, ISO 125, Nostalgic Negative The XT5 is a wonderful camera, clearly differentiated from the XH2 range and targeted primarily at still photographers. It will definitely appeal to landscape and travel photographers who require superior image quality and portability.The screen also tilts up and down for high and low-angle shooting when the camera is held horizontally. Image credit: Andy Westlake So while the burst speed on the X-T5 is the same as the X-H2, the actual burst depth becomes another differentiator. If you’re happy to shoot JPEG-only bursts, I don’t think you’ll find it an issue in practice, but RAW shooters will need to think about whether 20 frames at a time with pauses afterwards as they fully-flush will be sufficient. The X-T4 became their most capable all-rounder to date, but by trying to be all things to all people, had arguably lost some of its original charm and appeal. When Fujifilm introduced the X-H1 as a new flagship, I was initially confused, but now with the X-H2 and X-T5, their strategy has become clear. The A6700 is rated for up to 5 stops of compensation. Sony claim that the A6700 has an updated algorithm that provides more precise control and detection down to the single pixel level, but we're not sure at this point what material effect that has on the resulting images. Both cameras can also be powered and charged via a USB-C connection, which is useful if you're out and about and have a compatible power-bank to plug the camera into. Price

A new feature of the camera is the 1.84-million-dot three-way tilting LCD. It makes it easy to shoot in vertical position or at waist level, liberating users from constraints in a wide range of photographic situations. If you are considering moving to Fujifilm from another system there are two things, apart from the IQ, that will captivate you. The legendary Fujifilm colour science and the intuitive, user friendly, ergonomics of the camera layout and menu’s. I see all systems on my workshops and I can tell you there is no better camera to shoot with.The X-T5's viewfinder is the largest yet in an X-T camera. It presents a large 0.8x image to your eye with 3.7 million dots of resolution and a smooth 100fps display. It's one area where the X-T5 significantly betters the Canon EOS R7, which has a so-so 0.71x/2.4-million-dot viewfinder. On the front of the body is the dedicated AF mode control that was absent from the recent X-H2 models. From our limited experiences so far, the X-T5 feels like a worthy addition to a series that's staking a claim towards becoming a classic. There is one significant difference between them though that has more of an impact on burst shooting performance - the buffer size. When light levels are low, the X-T5 helps out with 5-axis IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization). We found this to give a 4- to 5-stop benefit in low-light shooting with slow shutter speeds, although Fujifilm claims an effectiveness of up to 7-stops with certain lenses, including the Fujinon XF35mm F1.4 R.
