Fujifilm X-T5 review

Fujifilm X-T5 is the stills specialist on this list. Its 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor gives the highest resolution here, and Pixel Shift multi-shot can combine frames into a 160MP image for static subjects. Five-axis in-body stabilization is rated up to 7.0 stops. Fujifilm keeps ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation on top-plate dials that can be set even when the camera is off, and Film Simulations such as ETERNA, Nostalgic Neg. and ACROS apply looks in camera. The electronic shutter reaches 1/180,000 sec and the EVF has 3.69 million dots at 0.8x. Video goes up to 6.2K/30p, and Fujifilm lists weather resistance and a long-lasting battery for travel. Fujifilm USA showed the X-T5 with the XF16-80mm lens at $2,499.95 when we checked; we did not see a body-only price, which makes direct comparison harder. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the camera ourselves.
