  • The Still/Movie switch is a waste for me. I really will miss the metering switch.
  • The mechanical shutter is quiet. Much less noisy than the XT3. However, the provided sounds for the electronic shutter are still less than satisfying. I think I prefer the "tick" sound of the XE4 to the simulated mechanical shutter sounds offered on the XT5. For now, I've set it to OFF, but it only gives you a brief blackout period to indicate a shutter release. I think I'd prefer a blinking frame around the edge like some other cameras, or at least something a bit more pronounced.
  • Some are reporting that their soft release buttons aren’t fitting the threads. I transferred my Fotodiox from the XT3 with no issues.

Agree about the metering dial. I miss it.

I have the artificial sound for the mechanical shutter turned OFF, which makes for a very quiet shutter indeed.

I had no problem adding a soft release button (including its tiny rubber O-ring).
