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.

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./

Oh come on. How can one comparing at $6500 and $5500 camera to a less than $2000 camera?

Dpreview disease?

Yep, some sort of psychosis I expect. Comparing the XT5 to the A1 and Z9 is like comparing at nice Ford F150 truck to a BMW 7 Series or Benz S-class and doing it with a straight face.

We all know that the F150 will be the only one to have a chance to complete the Baha endurance race!

Not to mention, carrying a load of hay or a few sheets of plywood from the Home Depot.

The people who drive a BMW 7 Series or Benz S-class would higher the person with the F150 to do that type of chore.  Who knows, the person with the F150 might be the one making a million a year.

The A1 and Z9 are both stacked sensor cameras with a high read out rate which helps autofocus because the AF control loop is updated at a faster rate. The A1 and Z9 represent two different market segments.

I also expect the AF performance of the XT and XH are as much determined by the lens as the camera. Not all of Fuji lenses are quick enough to support a rapid AF systems. And at least one of the YouTubers was running his mouth off about testing he did in "Release" rather than "Focus" priority. That pretty much tanked his creditability. If one tells the camera to take the shot - in focus or not - one should expect to see out of focus images.
