That's why I want to ask you, not my friends please tell me what really differs between Fujifilm aps-c cameras and canon r5,r6, Nikon z6,z7, Sony a7iv, v and so on? For which reasons I should have full frame camera? how much percent professional works I can do with my x-t5 and new brands? 70,80,90? or not at all?

A considerable amount of professional photographers have to work non-stop to make ends meet. Therefore their gear gets used non-stop as well. They take tens of thousands of pictures generally for wide range of clients.

For this model to work, their gear must not only be very reliable and built with the needs of professionals in mind.

Their gear must have an ecosystem of lenses and accessories that are necessary for them to reliably and swiftly deliver images.

Lastly, pro photographers must also have access to reliable professional support in case something goes wrong with their gear.

If your camera breaks down and you have to wait a few weeks or months for it to come back from servicing you're dead in the water.

That is why Nikon and Canon have build a global chain of representatives that will offer professional photographers extensive support.

Imagine your camera or lens breaks down and you have an important shoot the next day. Well Nikon or Canon professional services will immediately ship you a loaner unit overnight so that you can proceed as planned.

This sort of stuff really makes the difference for professionals and really creates brand loyalty.

Sony has also made large investments to develop their Pro support chain, since their bodies have been hugely popular.

Fujifilm has also recently launched their professional services for some X-series and GFX cameras and lenses in some countries.

To answer your question: Fuji's X-system has matured quite a bit since it was first introduced. There's a ton of great lenses available and Fujis are compatible with most accessories one may think of

Is it suitable for the sort of pro work you intend to do? I don't know what you shoot and how you shoot it so its tough to tell. Perhaps you could expand on that.
