Fujifilm announced fifth repetition of the XT sequence — X-T5. This model has a large resolution increased to 40.2 megapixels (7728×5152 pixels) compared to 26.1MP of its predecessor. It’s the same fifth-generation APS-C X-Trans CMOS HR found at the professional level X-H2. Also borrowed from the X-H2 is the autofocus system, which uses deep learning to track animals, birds, cars, bicycles, planes and trains. With more phase-detection points (425), the camera can now “focus on well-textured subjects such as animal hair, grass, and trees”—but will rhinoceros sea cucumbers be applied? Use it or not, anyone can guess!
The X-T5 can shoot continuously at 15 fps with the mechanical shutter (20 fps with the electronic shutter, but with a bit of cropping), maxing out at 119 JPEGs, 39 RAW, or just 19 uncompressed RAW frames. The in-body image stabilization system now offers 7 stops of compensation, according to Fujifilm (up from 6.5 on the X-T4). There are also major upgrades on the video side: the X-T5 can shoot 6.2K/30p at 4:2:2 10-bit color, 4K video in HQ mode is oversampled to 13 stops of dynamic range (using F-Log 2), and Atomos or Blackmagic external recorders can be used to record 6.2K/30p footage as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW respectively.
Rounding out the package is a 3.69 M-dot OLED EVF panel (100 fps refresh rate and 0.8x magnification), a tiltable three-axis 1.84 M-dot LCD touchscreen and NP-W235 battery, with up to 680 frames on a single charge. It should be noted that the X-T5 is physically smaller than its predecessors, so using existing cases can be problematic.
Shipping this month, the black and silver version of the X-T5 is priced at $1,700. You can also pair the camera with the 18–55mm f/2.8–4 R LLM OIS lens for $2,100 or with the XF16–80mm f/4 R OIS WR for $2,200.

Fujifilm introduces FUJIFILM X-T5 . mirrorless digital camera
Delivers fifth-generation image sensor and processing technology in a compact and lightweight body
VALHALLA, NY – North American FUJIFILM Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the FUJIFILM X-T5 (X-T5) digital camera, the latest addition to the improved X Series, XT line of mirrorless digital cameras. Fujifilm’s advancement. Fujifilm brings fifth-generation image sensor and processing technology to the X-T5 in a body that’s more compact than any of its previous XT system cameras.first.
The X-T5 is the latest X Series camera to feature Fujifilm’s new powerful back-illuminated 40.2MP X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR image sensor and high-speed image processor, the X-Processor 5. It also offers level up to 7.0 stops2 features 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and features a 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification and dual SD memory card slots, delivering image quality and resolution performance highest prize in the history of Series X.
“The X-T5 combines all of the fan favorites in one body. This system offers IBIS in a compact and lightweight body – designed for portability at the core of our XT system. We are also reintroducing 3-way tilting monitors to create stills and video from any position,” said Masato Yamamoto, general manager, Imaging Solutions Division, FUJIFILM Corporation. “At Fujifilm, we continue to push the boundaries of camera technology with each new camera release. The X-T5 is no exception – delivering excellent all-round performance for both stills and video. “
Features of the X-T5 include:
Image quality and resolution performance
- The new 40.2MP back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 5 HR image sensor, with state-of-the-art image processing algorithms, delivers enhanced image resolution without affecting the signal-to-noise ratio (S) /N). This image-processing algorithm delivers excellent results, packed with detail above the native ISO range, with the X-T5 expanding to ISO 125. Additionally, the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature enables photographers It produces super high-resolution, 160MP images, while Subject Detection Autofocus (AF) – capable of detecting animals, birds, and more common subjects – combines with equalization. Auto white, will assist photographers of all levels in creating amazing, high-quality images.
- The X-T5 offers 19 Film Simulation modes, including “Nostalgic Black”, which is characterized by high saturation and soft tones. Creators can use Film Simulation, film simulation, presets for different types of subjects and scenes. The X-T5 supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality in files up to 30% smaller than standard JPEG.
Hardware, design, and operability strongly support user content creation
- The X-T5’s In-body Image Stabilization (IBIS) system, which works in five axes, counteracts all types of camera movement and provides up to seven stops of compensation that can freeze 20 frames continuously image with a single click of the shutter. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” processes the captured frames to produce an image of about 160 million pixels.
- A maximum electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000 s is also now available for photographers looking to freeze moving subjects at high speeds. The 1.84 million-dot three-way tilting LCD screen makes it easy for users to create in a vertical or back-level position.
- The new sensor offers a high number of phase-detection pixels for impressive AF-S focusing on high-frequency subjects, providing accurate autofocus in situations such as landscape and portrait photography. . Additionally, the AF prediction algorithm provides stable focusing in AF-C mode.
- Equipped with a high-magnification, 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification, the viewfinder offers optimal suppression of parallax and distortion that often occurs when eye position is shifted during use the viewfinder.
- The classic design of the X Series has been retained with dials for ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation – setting up is quick and easy, even when the camera is turned off. Weighs only 1.23 lbs. (557g)3, the X-T5 is 50g lighter than the previous FUJIFILM X-T4 digital camera model and is perfect for a wide range of photography genres from street/documentary photography where portability is required, to style photography. scenes and portraits, which require exceptionally high resolution. The camera’s portability and weather-resistant construction allow users to carry the X-T5 in almost any weather condition.
Has extensive video functions
- Offering powerful video functionality, movies can be recorded internally at up to 6.2K/30p at 4:2:2 10-bit color. Additionally, the 4K HQ mode will outpace 6.2K footage for superior 4K output. The X-T5 supports F-Log2, which records an extended dynamic range of more than 13 stops — a wider range than that offered by current F-Logs — for incredibly extensive post-production potential.
- When paired with an ATOMOS HDMI device, RAW video output from the X-T5 can be recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97 frames fps. And when combined with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12Gs, RAW video output from the X-T5 can be recorded as Blackmagic RAW at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97 fps/ second.
Optional accessories
- MHG-XT5 Grip (specially designed for the X-T5): This grip facilitates the user to hold the camera by hand when attaching a large aperture lens. No need to remove the handle to change the battery or SD card. Alternatively, the MHG-XT5 stock can be used as a plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release system.
Pricing and Availability
The X-T5 will be available in black and silver and is expected to hit the market in late November, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1699.95 Body Only ($2,299.99 CDN) . The X-T5 Digital Camera with Lens Kit with FUJINON XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS and FUJINON XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR will also be available for a suggested manufacturer retail price of $2099, 95 ($2839.99 CDN) and $2199.95 ($2,969.99 CDN) respectively.
