Pros: High solidity feeling, great autofocus, beautiful viewfinder, excellent video features. Top ergonomics. CFExpress Type B support.
Cons: Impossible to adjust the ISO through any wheel, exposure height only from menu, non-clickable dials.
Opinion: Finally Fuji has also launched into the world of stacked sensors and does it very well. The camera body is perfect, it grips wonderfully and gives the impression of being a tank, very well built. for those with very large hands, you can add a battery grip, or an L-shaped bracket that, in my case, in addition to easily allowing me the vertical composition, solves the problem of the little finger "dangling". The menus are quite comfortable, well organized, although I preferred the photo / video switch on the X-T4, I do not understand why they removed it was very convenient and after Fuji, others have adopted the same practical solution. Really nice viewfinder, if possible, even more fluid and natural than the already excellent one present on the X-T4. Excellent autofocus, exceeds my abilities, at this point I have to improve before I can criticize it. With the latest update, even the 40 fps has a rather high rate in focus. The fact remains that then they must be seen and 40 fps are really too many for my patience! Image quality, we are at the same level as the X-T4 and it is a great result since stacked sensors often suffer more than traditional ones. The new color profiles are very nice, while I do not understand the choice to keep the toy filters, absolutely useless. For those who want to play with images, there are thousands of apps made on purpose. I know very little about the video part, but it seems really of a very high level, I will take the whim to make some videos to the animals. Excellent buffer that allows you to make bursts too long, in the end you are easily having to analyze over 1000 images, I suppose it is also thanks to the CFExpress card. Excellent also the stabilization that, for me, is superior to the X-T4, here you get really high levels, even for the video side. Very interesting, but this was imaginable being a stacked sensor, the usability of the electronic shutter. I almost forgot I had the mechanical one. We come to the cons that are there. The first and it is a very stupid thing, the ISO button does not adjust except by pressing a button, who knows what science will be needed to be able to assign it to a wheel ... mah Another stupid, with the X-T4 the rings are clickable and it is a very convenient thing, it makes the machine fast even for those who prefer a system completely based on the rings. Click and choose the aperture, click and choose the ISO, cool. Now they have removed it with the excuse of better waterproofing and then put it back on the X-T5. Similar speech for the ironing of the exposure, you choose only from the menu and there is no way to assign it to some key, less than less to a ring. Apart from these things that could be solved with firmware updates, the machine can boast the title of flagship in all respects. |
