X-T5 I’ll wait till know if C-AF tracking & subject sticking is improved
2

X-T5 specs look great, but I’ll hold off purchasing until there’s some real life user feedback on whether Fuji has vastly improved the Continuous Autofocus tracking and subject stickiness of its focussing algorithms on the X-T5 compared to X-T3 or X-T4.
Same with X-H2. I shoot fast moving military jets in valleys and at bases and my X-T3 loses focus too easily, yes there will be user error and panning errors on my part, but even when shooting distant objects coming at the camera, the older C-AF isn’t great and doesn’t produce a high hit rate of keepers. BIF may be simpler as flying slower, but then the subject is small too so BIF could be as tricky as fast military jet focussing. Hoping that Fuji’s new C-AF aircraft tracking mode algorithm is carried across from the speedier X-H2S onto the X-T5 and makes a significant improvement over previous Fuji X-T series, to bring Fuji C-AF in line with its competitors. I’m too invested in Fuji now to leave and frankly I just like their cameras, form factor and menus. I just hope the focussing improvement has given us a reason to celebrate!
