I need some information of these pictures as to what one thinks of resolution from a Fuji xt-5 Maybe it's my eyes, but wonder if it is acceptable from this camera?

Pretty much ALL cameras have good resolution for the past 15 years or so.
Only extreme pixel peepers will see any difference and that is more likely a lens/camera combo as a camera is pretty useless without a lens.

Work your way through all the techniques for sharp images before questioning lenses and bodies. The subject shown is not much of a test.

The image posted has very low resolution but that is because when you post on the UHH without save original option the image resolution is greatly reduced.

Someone is going to suggest that you repost the picture and click on "store original." I guess I just did that.

EDIT: Here are some tips for checking focus. Is it the photographer or the lens causing less than sharp images?

Resolution is different from sharpness. Resolution, measured in lines/mm, depends on the quality of the lens and how many sensor elements you get on your subject. The xt-5 is a 40mp camera, very capable of taking high resolution photos given a good lens in focus. Sharpness is subjective and can be changed in Post Processing. Contrast affects perception of sharpness. To me, this scene was not lit very well with unnecessary shadows left and right and a blown out reflection on the square ceramic box and it looks soft to me.

If this is not the result you wanted, it's not due to the camera, perhaps the lens was a contributing factor, but most likely the photographer needs to take the brunt of the blame.

Nice and sharp on the green cup, then a little softer for the others, but the color is beautiful๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€

Itโ€™s a DOF issue as out of focus except on green cup.

You offer no information on the settings you used to make this image. It looks good to my eyes.
Sharpness, according to Ken Rockwell, has a lot to do with us and not with the lens and I agree. Modern lenses are sharp and the majority very well made for their price. I have seen excellent enlargements from kit lenses.

I use an Olympus 17mm f2.8, a lens with poor reviews on line and instead it has given me excellent enlargements where I can see plenty of details. Find out the so called sweet spot for the lens you use, test it at all apertures and make sure you know where it performs best.
All of the sudden your pictures will be satisfactorily sharp.

I agree with Strodav's assessment of resolution vs sharpness. Lens resolution is derived in a finite method that is repeatable, thus it is scientific rather than subjective. The best camera sensor will always be reduced to the quality of the lens attached to it. And then, of course, there is the human factor beyond that.

No way to answer this question with an 800 x 1200 pixel image and no lens or exposure information. As previously stated, repost and check the store original box so we can see a high res image and EXIF information.

auto!

It looks fine for that size image! Depending on a plethora of factors, there's sharpness and there's resolution as others have mentioned above.

Your light is flat and the subjects are low in contrast but is a good choice for the intricate designs with good depth of field, hence the apparent lack of sharpness. The camera is probably on default settings. Most better cameras allow you to increase sharpness and contrast. By changing the camera "film type" your results would be different. Fuji offers different "looks" in the "Film Simulation" mode which corresponds to the different types of film they currently produce now and in the past. I personally would give the image an extra half-stop of exposure.

BTW, I have the original Fuji X Pro-1 and several XE bodies, so I'm familiar with Fuji mirrorless. For more info
about resolution and sharpness, see: https://expertphotography.com/camera-resolution/

Be well! Happy New Year all! Ed

We can't tell unless you post a full size JPEG with intact metadata. The previews on UHH are pretty useless for judging anything other than whether you want to take a closer look. With an original complete with EXIF table, we can both see and understand what we are seeing.

A lot depends on how the image is processed. All raw files need some sharpening. Camera JPEG processors apply some, but the amount applied in post-processing raw files depends on you and your choices.

As for resolution, that is just pixels. Anything more than 3000x2000 original, from-the-raw or from-the-camera-JPEG file pixels, is high resolution in most cases.

APPARENT resolution depends on a whole host of factors. Resolution in pixels, sharpening, lighting, contrast, camera stability, signal-to-noise ratio, lens quality and settings... all these and more are contributors to your perception of how "crisp" and "detailed" an image is. Camera specs are just a starting point. How you USE the camera is probably more important in the long run.

Looking at the picture , the cup is sharp , the other stuff out of focus .maybe you need to close the f stop to get more depth of field .
