Based on the specs - it seems like the video quality of the X-T5 might actually be worse than the X-T4, and possibly even the X-T3.

The only option for over-sampled 4k requires a crop, whereas the 4 and 5 used the full sensor. Will it actually look worse than the older cameras?

I have no problem with the X-T5 not being a huge upgrade in terms of video capabilities, but having it actually get potentially worse is a bit weird...

Otherwise I would be happy enough to just get the X-T4 now, but I prefer the tilt screen

Odd perspective... you have two H cameras, and an economical S camera that meets your needs, and you really think it makes sense that those of us who shoot stills 90+% of the time should endlessly bend over backwards to meet video needs to our exclusion?

In any event, T5 has better IBIS, better EV, better screen, better AF tracking, almost certainly significantly better overall IQ for video (based on both processing and number of pixels), and higher battery rating (CIPA)... yet you think the video compromises elsewhere are greater. Not in real-world use - at least based on the stats and early impressions we've seen so far.
