Well, that was fast! lol

Hi fellow fujiters!

A little over 2 months ago, I started a thread (here ) where I told you that, even if I loved the X-T5, I bought an X-T4 for a bargain of a price.

Well, here we are less than 3 months later and I changed my X-T4 for a new X-T5!

The X-t4 was a perfectly fine camera (I know, I had an X-T3 for more than 2 years before it), but the X-T5 has enough improvements (in UI specialy) that I thought that life is too short to be longing for a camera I can afford (it also helped that due to the extreme bargain I got for the X-T4 I ended selling it for more than I paid).

What I realy like about the X-T5 (on top of all the objective specs like lower base ISO, higer resolution and better AF):

• The tilting screen: I can live with an articulated screen, but I like a 3-way tilting screen a lot more. I would say this was the bigger reason for the upgrade
• The ability to chose on wich person's eye you focus when using eye AF. It just felt wrong in prior cameras to not be able to do this
• The new "film recipes": I knoe there are a lot of people that disagrees with me (and it could be improved a lot), but I prefer the new way the custom settings work. I tried different film simulations, but I ended shooting with Provia more than 95% of times. I shot RAW, if I want another film simulation, I use it in post. That's why I didn't used custom settings too much before, but now I can set different parameters for different shooting scenarios and I love it. I have one for portraits, one for landscape, one for night cityscapes, etc.
• The X-T5 is in silver. The offer I found for the X.T4 was only in black. I know, I know. It shouldn't matter. But it does. I'd be lying if I said the color wasn't a big reason to upgrade. I just love the looks of the X-tx series in silver

If you add the aforementioned objective upgrades, I'm very very happy with my X-T5 <3

Good decision.

I also decided that life was too short to worry about minor things and have spent some of my reserves (can't take it with me and the children will get more than enough when I croak) on an X-T5 16-80 kit, 70-300 and a 10-24 plus a flashgun.
