Fujifilm X-T5 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body - Silver
- Offering the ultimate image quality, X-T5 features the class-leading, 40.2-megapixel X-Trans 5 HR CMOS sensor in a compact, lightweight body that maximizes functionality and portability. X-T5’s improved image processing algorithm delivers outstanding results, packed with detail right across the native ISO range, which now extends to ISO 125. The classic X Series design has been retained. Dials predominate, making key functions – including ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation – quick and easy to set, even with the camera switched off. X-T5 offers a new, 1.84 million dot, three-way tilting LCD and powerful in-body image stabilization.
- X-T5 provides powerful image making performance to ensure it’s ready for action, no matter how fast your subject is moving. A top electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec and maximum mechanical shutter speed of 1/8000 sec will stop any subject in its tracks, while a lag time of just 35 ms gives almost instantaneous response when the shutter release is pressed. Keep a finger down, and X-T5 will record images at up to 15fps with the mechanical shutter, or 20fps with the electronic shutter. With the NP-W235 battery, up to 680 frames can be recorded from a single charge, plus the mechanical shutter guarantees 500,000 actuations, delivering long-term accuracy and reliability.
- Thanks to X-T5’s in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system, camera shake will be a thing of the past – even in low-light conditions. It works in five axes, combatting all types of camera movement, and provides up to seven stops of compensation. IBIS works with the camera’s subject detection autofocus, which uses deep-learning AI to expertly track animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, planes and trains. Tracking moving subjects is made easier by the detailed electronic viewfinder (EVF), which uses 3.69 million dots to provide a bright, vibrant display. The EVF offers 0.8x magnification for an easy-to-view image. The 100fps refresh rate, meanwhile, allows virtually blackout-free image making.
- Following in the footsteps of X-H2, find the stunning Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode in X-T5, delivering detailed files like never before. The feature utilizes the camera’s IBIS system to precisely shift the sensor, automatically recording 20 separate frames with one press of the shutter release. Resulting files are combined using Pixel Shift Combiner software to quadruple the camera’s resolution and produce a detail-rich, 160-megapixel file. Perfect for commercial applications or digital archiving, it’s also ideal for any static subject where image quality is of primary importance.
- X-T5’s capabilities are enhanced by its powerful video functions, which complement the camera’s impressive stills performance. Movies can be recorded internally at up to 6.2K/30p in 4:2:2 10-bit color, plus there’s a 4K HQ mode which oversamples 6.2K footage for superior 4K output. Both F-Log and F-Log2 recording are possible, the latter providing expanded dynamic range of 13 plus stops, plus 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW can be output via HDMI, to Atomos and Blackmagic devices accordingly.

BUYING GUIDES
Entering the world of digital photography as a beginner can be both exciting and overwhelming. With a vast range of digital cameras available in the market, knowing where to start can be challenging. This buying guide will assist you in selecting the best digital camera that matches your needs as a beginner.
1. Type of Camera: Start by deciding the type of camera you want. Compact point-and-shoot cameras are affordable, portable, and user-friendly – ideal for casual shooting. Advanced compact cameras offer greater control over settings. Mirrorless cameras are compact with interchangeable lenses, providing excellent image quality. DSLRs, with superb image quality and vast lens selection, can be bulkier and have a steeper learning curve.
2. Budget: As a beginner, there’s no need to spend thousands on your first camera. Many excellent entry-level cameras provide great value for their cost. Determine your budget first and then look for the best camera within that range.
3. Ease of Use: Look for a camera that is user-friendly. It should have intuitive controls and a well-organized menu system. Some cameras even have a “Guide Mode” that helps beginners understand different settings.
4. Sensor Size and Megapixels: Larger sensors generally deliver better image quality, especially in low light. For beginners, a camera with an APS-C size sensor is usually sufficient. As for megapixels, don’t get too caught up with higher numbers. Anything above 12 megapixels is enough for most beginners.
5. Lens Options: If you’re considering a DSLR or mirrorless camera, check the availability of lenses and their costs. Even if you start with a kit lens, knowing you can upgrade later is important.
6. Size and Weight: If you plan to carry your camera frequently, a lightweight and compact model might be more suitable. Remember, the best camera is the one you have with you.
7. Video Recording: If you’re interested in shooting videos, ensure the camera has decent video capabilities. Look for one that records at least in Full HD (1080p), though 4K would provide more detail.
8. Image Stabilization: This feature helps minimize blurriness from small hand movements. This can be particularly useful when shooting handheld or in low-light situations.
9. Battery Life: Nothing is worse than your camera dying in the middle of a day’s shooting. Make sure the camera has adequate battery life, and consider buying a spare battery.
10. Future Growth: While you are a beginner now, you will learn and grow with time. Consider a camera that offers more advanced features that you can use as your skills improve.
Always read reviews and, if possible, visit a store to try out the camera before buying. Consider what type of photography interests you (like landscapes, portraits, wildlife, etc.), as this can guide your choice. Remember, the goal is to learn and enjoy the process of photography. Happy shooting!
