Fujifilm X-T5 Camera Body Black Summary

The Fujifilm X-T5 Camera Body Black delivers comprehensive upgrades across the board for the 5th generation photo-oriented hybrid X mirrorless camera. This lightweight APS-C format camera houses Fuji’s 40.2 megapixel X-Trans 5 HR BSI sensor seen in the X-H2, which is paired with the high-speed, low power X-Processor 5. Together these provide content creators with fast bursts and high resolution stills, which includes 160 megapixel high res shot mode. You can also record internal 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit, 4K/60p and Full HD 240fps video, with even better battery-life to create incredible content for longer. Upgraded IBIS offers 7-stops compensation (6.5 in the previous generation) along with an enhanced video stabilisation mode, which works across a number of recording situations including while walking and recording.

Fuji’s advanced phase-detection AF algorithm has been significantly improved alongside the X-H2S, with noticeable benefits particularly when shooting moving subjects and objects which are smaller in the frame. AF is further improved with new Face/Eye deep learning and the X-T5 now recognises and tracks human Face/Eye plus animals, birds, automobiles, bikes, airplanes and trains.

Useability enhancements include improved ergonomics with a deeper grip, an overall smaller and lighter body, a blackout-free EVF, 3-way flip screen and more for those who love Fujifilm’s analogue-style operation.

Fujifilm X-T5 Digital Camera Body Black in More Detail

Latest high resolution sensor and processor

The X-T5 features Fuji’s 5th generation 40.2 megapixel X-Trans 5 HR BSI sensor, which is the highest resolution ever in an APS-C format X-T seriescamera – up from 26MP in the X-T4. Images are recorded in sizes measuring 3:2 = 7728 x 5152 and 4:3 = 6864 x 5152 pixels, providing excellent detail and plenty of latitude for cropping in to your subject. The pixel layout has been optimised for exceptional detail, with unrivalled colour accuracy together with impressive AF performance, when paired with the high-speed X-Processor 5. This imaging processor is compact, fast and more power efficient, which gives the X-T5 a fruitful 20% bump in battery performance for up to 740 stills, against 600 in the previous model.

Noise suppression from this combination is also the best from any previous generation, with a low base ISO 125 and offers the ability to capture HEIF files.

Despite its impressive resolution, the X-T5 captures continuous bursts of up to 15fps at full resolution and records 6.2K/30p video internally without overheat for up to 90 minutes. When shooting in electronic shutter mode continuous shooting increases to 20fps and Fuji’s electronic shutter speed now reaches a staggering 1/180000sec.

Pixel shift multi-shot

Thanks to the new sensor, pixel shift multi-shot offers photographers the ability to capture ultra-high resolution 160 megapixel photos for billboard sized posters, huge prints and more. This works by shifting the sensor by 0.5 pixels between each of 20 frames. The results are then automatically combined into one DNG RAW file, which can be output to your desired file format using RAW processing software.

When shooting for archival recording and other commercial applications where colour fidelity and fine detail are paramount, you’ll experience exceptionally accurate colour with virtually non-existent false colours and moiré.

Best ever viewfinder performance

With its 3.69 million dot EVF and 100fps refresh rate, the EVF offers the best ever blackout-free viewing experience from an X-T series camera. Reaction time when switching between LCD to EVF is as quick as 0.12 seconds, while switching back is just 0.16 seconds. The eye point is now 24mm over 23mm previously and diopter adjustment has been extended to -5~+3dp.

Fujifilm film simulation modes

19 film simulations are available, including popular Classic Chrome, Velvia and Eterna as well as monochrome mode. Film simulations delivers impressive images straight out of camera, combining colours from famous analog films, with tones and contrast. These can be accessed through the camera’s main menu system, the Quick Menu and by button customisation.

More compact design with improved ergonomics

Despite housing impressive performance upgrades, the X-T5 body has been refined to provide improved ergonomics and handling. Overall dimensions measure 129.5 x 91 x 63.8mm, resulting in 5% less volume and a 50g reduction in weight against the previous generation camera. The grip is also newly designed offering improved purchase and more solid handling and 3-way tilt LCD.

Evolved autofocus performance

Thanks to the new X-Trans 5 HR BSI sensor the X-T5 delivers 100% phase detection AF area, with -7EV low light limit. The number of PDAF pixels is 3.33 million (up from 2.16), which delivers impressive AF wherever the subject is within the frame.

This increase in on-sensor PDAF pixels lets you focus on fine-textured subjects such as animal fur, grass and trees more accurately than before.

New deep learning subject detection

Not only has the AF algorithm been improved when tracking fast moving subjects, or anything which is smaller in the frame, but the X-T5 now includes deep learning technology. A broader range of subject recognition now includes human face/eye as well as animal, bird, automobile, bike, airplane and train. For creators this means you can acquire and track more diverse subjects for sharper images and stills, by simply choosing the appropriate subject from the camera settings menu.

X-T5 video performance

Another first for the X-T range is the ability to record 6.2K/30p movies in-camera, along with 4K/60p and ultra high-speed 240p 1080 Full HD for slow motion effects. Colour fidelity is also enhanced with 4:2:2 10-bit at up to 400Mbps. F-Log2 provides an increased 13+ stops of dynamic range (up 1-stop) and you can plug an external monitor in using a Type D HDMI cable to capture ProRes RAW or BlackMagic RAW.

At normal operation temperatures the X-T5 provides a continuous recording time of 90 minutes (25ºC) and 60 minutes when capturing 4K/60p. Even during extreme 40ºC heat you can record for 17 minutes and 18 minutes respectively at the same settings.

Enhanced in-body stabilisation

An upgraded stabilisation algorithm improves IBIS which rises from 6.5-stops in the previous model to 7-stops of high image stabilisation performance.

Video mode stabilisation offers improvements to panning through:

• Improved detection accuracy of pan/tilt to reduce jerkiness at the start of pan/tilt motion
• Improved stabilisation control at the end of pan/tilt to reduce oscillation at the end of pan/tilt.

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

Whether you’re new to the system or a seasoned X shooter the number of X mount lenses ensures you’ll never run out of creative options for any type of content creation. This includes the simultaneously released Fujifilm XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens, which follows the recently released next generation XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR lens. You’ll also discover a huge range of third party options from leading designers such as Samyang, Tamronand Sigmato name a few.

Connectivity and accessories

Along with improved battery performance from the NP-W235 rechargeable battery, the XT-5 features two high-speed UHS-II SD memory card slots. For videographers the ability to connect external monitor/recorders over Type D HDMI will be welcome as will the 3.5mm camera microphone jack to capture professional audio.

WiFi connection can be made over IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac (standard wireless protocol) and Bluetooth Ver. 4.2 (Bluetooth low energy) is also available.

X-T5 colour and kit options

The Fujifilm X-T5 Camera is available in two colour options, with this Black model and a silver X-T5 body-only. Both colours are also available with a lens kit, which includes the X-T5 with 18-55mm Lens Kit Black and X-T5 with 16-80mm Lens Kit Black. This gives content creators an affordable and versatile series of options to upgrade if they are coming from a previous model or when joining the X series if new to the system.
