I would like to do a trade for xt-5 with 2 lens and flash with original box. less then 50 pictures taken. I tried, but to complicated camera for me. Nikon user and willing to do a barter for a d850.

Sounds like pretty new equipment? If so, why don’t you just return it?

The D850 is no less complicated than the Fuji. The Nikon interface may be more familiar to you, but the D850 a very complex camera. What model Nikon are you accustomed to?

I have a D850 that I love but have it up for sale on Uglyhedgehog because I purchased an X-T5. In the beginning I too got very frustrated trying to setup and use the X-T5 but if you register the camera with Fujifilm you can get technical support free of charge from a Fujifilm rep. I’ve done 3 sessions with them and have the camera setup almost the same as my Nikon D850. The X-T5 is amazing with what you can do with it! You have it, talk to a Fujifilm rep.
Good luck! ~Kevin

There are quite a number of YouTube people who can provide great advice for initial settings (and much more) for your XT-5.
Perhaps start here: https://youtu.be/jH02ELW5yIM.
The XT-5 is a terrific camera, and generally less complex than a D850, a camera which I have I recently sold.
The XT-5 is - IMHO only and YMMV for everyone else - a much more enjoyable user experience, and no way would I contemplate going back. Others, of course, will disagree, as is their right.
The XPro-3, for example, is a very different camera from a "standard" camera and it would be more understandable if you discovered you'd really made a mistake buying one of those. That's definitely not everyone's tool, but 50 shots with your XT-5 isn't even trying.
Your sales price won't change any if you work with the camera for a month or two and still don't like it.

Would you consider Nikon D800 with 24-70mm f 2.8, Sigma 18-35 mm Art Lens, Nikon 16-35 f4 Vr lens. I recently bought Fujifilm GFX 100s with 32-64mm f4 & 20-35mm f4 GFX lenses!

Auto, both examples are soft, If I were you I would post those photos in the Main Photography Discussion or Photo Analysis forum with a heading of help with focus. Then we can’t tell what the camera settings are in those comparisons without you using the “store original “ option.
I would be curious to see what your settings were.

Auto,
Your examples are (slightly) out of focus. Have you used the diopter adjustment to aid your focusing?
Suggest you watch pal2tech's – <https://www.youtube.com/@pal2tech> tutorials on all, well most things Fuji.
Specific 'setting up your XT5': <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH02ELW5yIM tutorials>
Michael the Maven, <https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=michael+the+maven+fujifilm+> has done comprehensive tutorials on the XT3 and 4, but not yet the XT5, but may have some tips to aid your learning curve.
I'm quite happy with my XT3, its kit lens and several Leica M lenses.
You have an enviable setup, invest some time with the suggested tutorials. Betcha you'll keep your XT5!
Good luck!
