Have You guys read comments in those YT videos? Many user reports same behavior from their X-T5 (false AF confirmation). Its to many, to just belive that is user error. Global user error, to be exact because people report exact same problem.

For me it's lookin for poor AF algorithms in newest Fuji cameras, or lack of processing power to compute all this AF data from sensor. Nikon needed to release Z6 and Z7 mark II with adding another EXPEED processors, to achieve enough computing power to make AF in continuous tracking mode finally reliable.

When reading reviews about X-H2s vs X-H2, it's very clear that more precise AF in X-H2s in continuous tracking mode, works better and more reliable because more computing power in X-H2s compared to X-H2.

I do rather wonna stay optimistic, but I'm not sure if future firmware upgrade will fix mentioned failures of false focus confirmation in AF-C mode, to the level of let's sey.. Nikon Z6II or Z7II. Time will tell, but current Fujifilm marketing policy is disturbing (this big hype around new and reliable AF)
