Fujifilm Introduces X-T5 Mirrorless Camera

Fujifilm has announced the X-T5 digital camera, bringing its fifth-generation imaging sensor and processing technology in a camera body that is more compact than each of its previous three X-T system camera models.

X-T5 is the latest X Series camera to feature Fujifilm’s new, powerful backilluminated 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR imaging sensor and high-speed image processing engine, X-Processor 5. It also provides up to 7.0 Stops of 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) and features a 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification, and dual SD-card slots.

The Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature allows photographers to make 160MP, super high-resolution images, while Subject Detection autofocus (AF) — capable of detecting animals, birds and a variety of other common subjects — combined with the auto white balance, will assist photographers of all levels with producing superb, high-quality images.

The X-T5 supports HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality in files up to 30 percent smaller than standard JPEGs. A maximum electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec is also now available for photographers wishing to freeze subjects moving at high speeds. Movies can be recorded internally at up to 6.2K/30p in 4:2:2 10-bit colour. In addition, the 4K HQ mode oversamples 6.2K footage for superior 4K output. The X-T5 supports F-Log2, which records an expansive dynamic range of 13+ stops—a range wider than that provided by current F-Log. X-T5 will be available in black and silver colours at a suggested retail price of $1699.95 body only.
