Space: Fujifilm X-T5 Review


Space.com posted a review of the Fujifilm X-T5 for photographers that enjoy astrophotography. It sounds like they really enjoyed the camera, but they do not have many sample photos. I personally have never found that traditional controls hold me back from shooting Astro, but the author seems to prefer PSAM cameras. I also agree that the variable angle screen of the Fujifilm X-T4 is superior to the tilt screen on the Fujifilm X-T5. You can read the full review here if you are interested.

With a 40-megapixel sensor and high-speed processor, the X-T5 packs a lot into a compact body, although the traditional handling and APS-C sensor isn’t ideal for night sky photography.

Pros

  • +Compact, ergonomic design
  • +Wide range of compatible X-mount lenses
  • +High-resolution sensor

Cons

  • -LCD screen tilts but doesn’t flip
  • -Can be top-heavy with larger lenses
  • -Physical control dials aren’t easy to find in the dark
