Great features, great size, great ergonomics, great lenses, great specs, great looks, great app (mostly).
First of all, if you need something that can track fast moving subjects, avoid this. Without a doubt, this is leagues behind Sony/Canon autofocus, and likely Nikon. Even with static subjects expect focus to be missed so make sure you take multiple photos. When it does hit, it looks great, but it’s a roll of the dice on when that’s gonna happen. I tried multiple lenses, went through all firmware upgrades on lenses/body, and still had some glaringly bad misses. I take a lot of photos of dogs and some sports, so erratic movement and tracking are important to me, which this camera just could not handle. I watched all the YouTube videos and read all the setting guides, no amount of tampering with settings will fix the issue Fuji has with tracking and Eye Autofocus. It’s almost as if the focus is on the reflection of the eyeball itself and not the iris/pupil. And yes, I tried Camera One as well because it’s supposed to be better with that sensor.
If you’re planning to use this for static subjects, street photography, landscape, portraits of people, you can probably make it work. But any erratic movement and it just falls apart.
No amount of film simulation and retro controls will make up for the feeling you get when going through photos you can’t recreate that missed focus consistently. Stick with the big 3 on manufacturers or learn how to manual focus very well.

At this price point, all the options are very good. I like the Fuji for its retro style, ease of use, image stabilization, film simulations, weight, and overall ergonomics. It's just an outstanding camera.

Im fairly new to photography i used to have a camera and got rid of it, but i have recently been getting my creative flow back! So i started looking for a camera my friend recently purchased the XT4, and i did a bunch of research for her when she was getting ready to buy. When i started looking and saw that the XT5 was available i jumped on the opportunity to get it! It may be basic for the more advanced user but the quick auto focus and the eletronic shutter (which you can silence) makes this camera great for any application! Family portraits, sports, plays, and i havent had the opportunity just yet but i can only imagine how great the videos are!

I have been using this X-T5 to replace my ZCAM E2-S6 as well as my A7RII and it has been a powerhouse of a camera. 10/10 if you're thinking about pulling the trigger.

This is the best camera I’ve ever had. I’m a beginner and it’s definitely easy to work with. The dials very much help in learning basic photography. Love this camera!

Great camera - the perfect size with tons of features and settings. The settings are somewhat intuitive and there are great resources on youtube to learn everything you've always wanted to know about this camera.

Coming back to photogrpahy after a few years, man, this just brings back the fun. Canon/nikon sony not bad, but this feels like theres more to creating art

The moment i picked up this camera, i knew it had to be mine. It brought a flood of nostalgia from when i first learned photography on a film camera. I have no regrets making this purchase. There is a little learning curve with all of the internal settings but play with it enough and youll be on your way in no time

I have been using my dream camera for the past two weeks, and it has exceeded all my expectations. I absolutely love it, especially the film stimulation and recipes. Although I am not a professional photographer, I take my hobby seriously and this camera has been a game-changer for me.
