What to Expect of the X-T5 Camera
Sharper Images
A 40 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR BSI Imaging Sensor brings the newest technology to the brand new X-T5. Its 40 megapixels ensure that you’ll have the optimal amount of resolution to create large prints, crop your photos, and even zoom in while still maintaining a high level of detail and resolution. With the increase in megapixels, you’ll be capturing amazingly sharp images in incredibly high resolution. This includes excellent quality for both stills and video work.
Small Form Factor
A compact body — similar to the size of the X-T1 — means less weight on your back or in your hand. All types of photographers will love the small size of this camera, especially because the X-T5 does not sacrifice quality. Weighing just 557g, the XT-5 is one of the lightest cameras boasting such resolution. Whether you want to put this camera in a suitcase, backpack, or around your neck, you’ll barely notice the lightweight body.
Image Stabilization
Up to seven stops of Internal Body Image Stabilization is a great feature for photographers who like to shoot handheld. This means that in low-light conditions, you won’t have to worry as much about your shutter speed and can focus more on capturing the scene at hand. Having the built-in image stabilization is perfect for all photographers who shoot on the run. It will help you capture tack-sharp images even in the most adverse of conditions. When you combine this with image stabilization on your lens, you’ll have the ability to shoot handheld at shutter speeds that you never thought possible.
Continuous Mode
If you’re a photographer shooting in continuous mode, you’ll be happy to hear that the X-T5 can shoot up to 15 frames per second in mechanical shutter at a maximum shutter speed of 1/180,000. At speeds that high, you can be positive that you won’t miss the shot. Paired with a quality memory card and you’ll be able to capture tons of photos — all in a very short amount of time. This means that you’ll never miss a moment, and you’ll have a ton of photos to choose from in your burst to get just the right shot.
Impressive Video Quality
Fujifilm didn’t just design this camera for photographers. Videographers will be able to utilize the 6.2K video recording in 4:2:2 10-bit color. Capturing this high-resolution video used to only be capable on high-end video-dedicated cameras. The X-T5 allows you to capture great resolution on a compact body. Capturing videos in 6.2k means that you’ll be able to crop down or stabilize the footage without having to worry about the resolution when exporting 4K footage.
Even better yet, the XT-5 has a 4K HQ mode that oversamples 6.2K footage to provide a superior 4K output. Having the higher resolution also unlocks a 2x digital zoom function, where you can digitally zoom while taking a video without a noticeable drop in quality.
Who Should Buy the XT-5?
If you’re a photographer who cares about having a lightweight, compact camera body — yet doesn’t want to forfeit image quality and resolution for camera body size — the Fujifilm XT-5 Mirrorless Camera is for you.
If you’re a landscape or travel photographer, you will love the lightweight and compact size of the camera while carrying it to your locations. In addition to the compact size, the large resolution certainly will not hurt when capturing images of the world.
The feature that will really shine for portrait and sport photographers is the 15 frames per second, up to 1/180,000 second shutter speed, ensuring that you will never miss the moment again because of slow continuous shooting.
Lastly, videographers — and especially content creators — will love the X-T5 for its ability to provide such impressive specs for both photo and video. Videographers will also appreciate shooting in 6.2K, or using the 4K HQ mode which resamples 6.2K footage into 4K to create superior quality footage.
Comparing the X-T5
The X-T5 is a major upgrade over its predecessor, the Fujifilm X-T4. The X-T5 has 40 megapixels (up from 26 megapixels), and weighs roughly 50g less than the XT-4. It is rare to see a new camera decrease in size, yet also increase in resolution. The XT-5 also boasts a much higher maximum shutter speed (1/180,000, up from 1/32,000) and higher video recording resolution (6.2K, up from 4K). The Internal Body Image Stabilization has also been much improved over the previous model, making it easier than ever to capture sharp low light images.
New Fujifilm Lenses, Too
Lastly, Fujifilm has also just announced the release of a brand new macro lens. The XF 30MM F2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens is certain to be an excellent choice to pair with the new X-T5. This high-resolving standard prime with a 1:1 macro magnification has a gorgeous, round bokeh sure to make your macro images stand out.
The Fujifilm X-T5 is available in a bundle with the XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR Lens, or the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS Lens. These bundles are perfect for brand-new Fuji shooters to get a lens in addition to the camera body.
The X-T5 surely delivers on large resolution in a compact body. All kinds of photographers, videographers, and content creators will get great use out of this high resolution camera. If you are considering a switch to Fujifilm, or you’re ready to upgrade an older camera, the X-T5 should be considered.
