Fujifilm has just announced its latest mirrorless camera during the X-Summit Tokyo 2022, the Fujifilm X-T5. This fifth generation features a sensor with no fewer than 40.2 megapixels. I got to try the camera yesterday.

Fujifilm X-T5 specifications

- 40.2-megapixel APS-C format X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor
- ISO sensitivity: 125 - 12,800 ISO (expandable from 64 to 51,200 ISO)
- X-Processor 5
- Maximum shutter speed: 1/180,000s
- Tilting screen (redesigned system)
- 3.69 million dots in the electronic viewfinder
- 6K video at 30p (4K video at 60p)
- Built-in image stabilisation (7 stops)
- 2 SD(XC) card slots

With the X-T5, Fujifilm has deliberately chosen to focus on photography. The camera can certainly still record video, but its main focus is photography.

Fujifilm X-T5

The X-T5 is once again almost as compact in size as the X-T1. It is thinner than its predecessor, the X-T4, and also weighs around 50 grams less.

There are some small changes to the appearance. For example, the black colour is now an even deeper black, and the grip has been cut out more sharply, leaving more room for your fingers. The dials have also been improved so they are easier to operate, and the shutter button has been positioned further forward, making it easier to reach.

When taking photos, your electronic viewfinder no longer goes black. So you can keep looking at your subject continuously while shooting.

What was so good about all the previous X-T1 through X-T4 cameras has also been retained: full analogue control of the most important settings. This really remains a pleasant way to take photos, setting your camera directly without having to look at a screen.

Availability and price

The Fujifilm X-T5 is due to arrive in shops at the end of this month and will cost 1,999 euros for the body. You can choose between a silver or black body.

There will also be two kit options. With the XF 18-55mm, you will pay 2,399 euros. In combination with the XF 16-80mm, you will pay 2,499 euros.

Will you take better photos with a newer camera? I'm the first to say that that's not the case. Why, then, do I still suffer a little from GAS?

Well... that Gear Addiction Syndrome of us consumers means more revenue for camera manufacturers.

Indeed Martin, but you have to treat yourself every now and then. Right

I’m not saying I’m going for it straight away. First I’ll wait for the introduction days at Cameraland.nl and get the camera in my hands. And then we’ll see in due time whether we’ll really switch over.
