I haven't used an X-T5 yet but, like most Fujis, I doubt that anything works optimally at the default settings (and that goes with its RAW files as well). Fuji cameras have always required a certain level of technical understanding and craft to work their best. Sony's AF seems to be pretty much idiot proof and works great no matter what you do. Fuji AF has never been that way (and no, I'm not suggesting this is a good thing) . With some experience and experimentation you should probably be able to get very reliable results in most situations, but you probably won't right out of the box. F

Again, what's stopping Fuji from releasing a series of YouTube videos or blog posts to explain how to get reliable results. They must know already.

Frankly, I almost never miss focus with my dinosaur X-T2.

Neither do I, but that's because I understood early on the AF-C and face detection were very unreliable and stopped useing them.

I plan on getting an X-T5 at some point and am not overly concerned about the AF. I'll figure it out one way or another. If there are any genuine bugs with the X-T5, I'm sure Fuji will sort them out.

Hopefully. I'll be the first one to buy the X-T5 when that happens.
