Sorry, no. I respect their work and abilities just as I respect yours (and I mean it). From seeing their work and watching a few of their videos, I doubt they're all as incompetent as you're implying.

You need to acknowledge that many of these Youtubers tested them right out of the box without understanding their machines. And you will often find the 1st comment (or they may have pinned them to the top) is someone reminding them how to set up their camera correctly.

I had my X-T5 for 3 weeks and used it for work in an event, did not notice that false focusing issue. However I have experience unstable WB and exposure shift, and I think the later is more of user error. But for AF I think it is a huge upgrade from my X-T3 that I used for work over 4 years.

However I do reckon Fuji can, and should, make them more "fool proof", work right out of the box without further setting needed........like Sony and Canon.
