Re: Is X-T5 shutter louder than the X-T4? (and X-T3 / X-E4)

Having owned the X-T3 and now the X-T5, the X-T3's shutter definitely sounds more mechanical or less "smooth" than the X-T5's. I have never owned the X-T4 but have tried it in a store and can also definitely tell its shutter sound was smoother than the X-T3's. But I have never directly compared them side-by-side.

When you are comparing shutter "sounds", especially with another body that doesn't support EFCS like the X-E4 / X-S10 / X-T30ii etc., you are actually comparing the shutters actuating twice on bodies without EFCS to just once with (assuming your X-T4 is set to EFCS mode of course).

One other thing to note, is that the X-T5 does come with improved artificial shutter sounds and these are much more realistic than the loud "clicks" from previous models. When I first fired up my X-T5 the artificial shutter sounds were left on by default and you could be mistaken the shutters were much louder than it really is. After you turn them off the real shutter sounds a lot quieter. I only turn on the artificial shutter volume if I am in Electronic Shutter mode just to have an audible feedback after I have fired a shot. With this setup even ES mode seems quite realistic. Well done FUJIFILM for the improved AI shutter noise
