Fuji X-T5 Review

Converting from film to digital some twenty years ago, I chose the Canon platform eventually using a Canon 5DIII and assorted Canon L-Series lenses shooting in RAW. Around 2013, I rented (www.lensrentals.com - they're great) a Fuji X100S camera which bowled me over. The Fuji sensor/processor combined with their Film Simulations allowed me to shoot jpeg with astounding results, color and sharpness, right out of the camera. Eventually acquired two Fuji X-T2 bodies and a Fuji X-T30 with assorted Fuji XF lenses mostly OIS (Optical Image Stabilized). Fuji recently introduced their X-H2 and X-T5 image stabilized bodies with 40 megapixel sensors and their latest processors. I wanted the Fuji XF 16-55mm f2.8 (non-OIS) lens but needed to pair it with an image stabilized body. Love the ergonomics of the Fuji X-T2 which is matched by the X-T5 which I then pre-ordered. Fuji said the X-T5 would start shipping on 17 November but Adorama (thank you !!!) air overnighted the X-T5 and had it in my hands on the morning of 17 November so I've only had it a few days. Paired with the XF 16-55mm f2.8 lens, it is an awesome combination. Attached are two quick takes with the new combination. Looking forward to using this combo primarily for landscapes which is its forte. Should be capable of producing some very large prints (e.g. 30X40).

Very nice Don. I’ve been using Fujifilm cameras since the X-T1, and I’m now using the X-T4. A few days ago I ordered a Fujifilm X100V to carry around when I don’t want to carry the bigger camera.
