What's the deal with the X-T5 autofocus?

For sure I don`t know how you use your camera, but based on this statement (and I do not want to be offensive) you are not a demanding user. I own an A1 and I own an X-T5 and from AF system point of view, these are on the 2 ends of the market for any camera released in the last 2 years above USD1000.

No offense taken BUT your assumption is incorrect. You left out a very important sentence at the end of my comment. That is: "All that said, I am not getting a worse hit rate than (I hate to admit this) than an A1 or Z9. But I have not put my H2 through any truly demanding events." That disclaimer is absolutely true and would advise anyone (as I stated in my first comment further above) to not use a new cam professionally for any important event until they can truly trust everything about it.

Who do you think you help when you imply, that the X-T5 AF system is as good as the A1 AF system? Fuji had AF issues. Fuji worked on the AF, it got better, but still behind the market. Fuji still have a lot do. /And we keep buying Fuji products to support them in their efforts./

No implication Fuji's AF is as good as Sony, Nikon, or Canon...yet ...but hopefully FW updates will address some of the issues that have arisen.

Again, based upon my comments I have not yet personally come to any conclusion about AF accuracy because I have NOT YET DONE enough testing to trust it for professional use. This weekend I have a job at a fund raising event. I will NOT be using the XH2 for this event.

Luckily I am a multiple system owner and have the gear resources to do my photo gigs in a highly professional manner.
