I am sure it’s great . Just a little complicated for me. Have to learn how to use it .

I have to start by saying I’ve been a hobby photographer for about 25 years with the occasional paid job here and there so I know how to work a camera! This thing has the worst autofocus I have ever used!!! Hands down the worst. Even after all the updates. I have gone through multiple lenses and was never able to get a sharp photo, NEVER! finally after fighting with this camera for months I came to the conclusion I must have a bad body. Sent it in to get repaired and just got it back. So far it is better, my photos are coming out sharper, but after all the problems I can’t recommend this camera. Steer clear until they get the autofocus fixed and get a handle of the quality control issues. I should have never had to send a camera in for repair that wasn’t even a year old, and never dropped or abused in anyway.

Ive had my xt5 since release day, i shot film for decades, ran mt own dark room etc, but for the life of me could not make myself enjoy digital photography, i always felt it was kind of souless fot lack of a better word, i tried multiple dslr’s then just kind of gave it up. I recently decided to get back into it and bought a nikon z5 its nice but didnt grab me, still have it and it takes nice pictures but i saw the xt5 and have it a shot despite all the hype around full frame, im 100% in love with this thing, it looks and feels like a real camera, the images it produces are simply amazing imo, low light performance is fantastic with a fast lens, so much so that i shot the milkyway on both my nikon(with a nikon z prime) and my xt5 (with a cheap rokinon lens) and the pictures from the xt5 are the ones everyone i show prefers. I dont shoot video at all so i cant comment on that. The abilty to crop so heavily from the 40mp sensor is a great bonus, autofocus is fast and accurate, the controls feel completely manual but still have the abilty to customize things well and use button shortcuts etc, its like the perfect mix if old shcool and newer tech convenience. This camera might not be for everyone but if you appreciatethe design aesthetic and like shooting manual there is nothing out there imo that feels as nice.

Camera looks great. But was shipped without a battery and will not turn-on without one even when plugged in. So unable to verify. Really dissapointed.

Missing button & no memory card can’t really get use of it without card

Our first camera and its the best. The vintage look is a plus!

So far the camera is great. It is a learning curve from our previous nikon, but seems to function well amd is significantly lightet than the nikon
