Fujifilm X-T5 Long-Term Review: A Year of Capturing Moments
This is my long-term review of the Fujifilm X-T5 after a year of using it in proper, real wedding conditions. Weddings are a great test for any camera because nothing waits for you. Moments are fleeting, light changes constantly, and you’re often shooting for long hours without a break. If a camera is awkward, slow, or unreliable, you find out quickly.
In the video I talk through how the X-T5 holds up across a full day, from the quiet, intimate moments through to the busier, faster sections where you’re reacting in real time. I cover design and ergonomics (the stuff that matters when you’ve had a camera in your hand for eight to ten hours), then features and overall performance, including how it behaves in varied lighting and how the files respond in editing.
There’s a specific section on the autofocus system and how it feels in the field, plus thoughts on the sensor and the look of the files, including colour rendition. I also talk about the tilt screen, because for some photographers it’s a minor detail, and for others it changes how they shoot.
Finally, I compare the X-T5 with the X-T4 and the X-H2 to give some context for anyone thinking about upgrading or choosing between bodies. If you’re a working photographer wondering whether the X-T5 is a sensible tool, or an enthusiast considering it as your main camera, this should give you a clear, experience-based view.
