Heres my stream of consciousness... Don’t be demoralized by the leaks. The intent of signaling arbitrary dates for their most popular model (X-T series) is to make consumers defer purchasing decisions. Recall – heavy hitters like Canon R6 III and Sony A7V have dropped and so Fujifilm is on a timetab

I had s9 and I have x-e5. Here is the thing.. x-e5 IBIS was designed for photography so it’s very capable. But for video it’s okay, not a s9 level. AF is also designed for photography. If you do single point shooting then you will be fine. But if you always focus else where but center and hopping fo

If I could upvote this several times, i would have😅 My X-E5 has just arrived today, and i can tell you already there’s not a single drop of regret. I have the Xpro2 and I just sold the XT5 to buy the XE5 in its place. Many comments already told you to get the Xpro3 for its “pro features” but lets be

I’m a very casual photographer with more budget than skill. I’ve dabbled with MFT, Sony A7Rii, fancy point and shoots (RX1Rii, Ricoh GRii, X100F and IV) and now the X-E5. I’d agree that I think dollar for dollar the Sony offerings provide more raw performance. With a little practice and various exer

I have been using that setup of yours professionally for quite some time (weddings and other stuff) and for the sake of you not being disappointed, I have to clarify some information. X-H2 is not smaller than your 7R IVa. I have handled both. The Sony has very slightly more compact dimensions. You c

Have you considered the x-e5 with the pancake lense? I don't really think the AF on the Fujifilm is that bad for stills. But it's definitely not as good as sony for sure.

I am aware but in fact the auto focus of my x-e5 is pretty decent. I think Fujifilm was behind - however with the newer models I think they catched up. The auto focus on my Nikon Z6iii is superb but the Fuji is way better than its reputation.

I'm also deciding between these two cameras. I've rented both. The image output from the Zf is superior, at 100% viewing, they are crisp and clear with tiny details intact. Not that I use autofocus much, I shoot mostly with manual focus primes, however the Zf autofocus was also superior. The X-E5 pi

I wouldn't bother tbh. If it were me I'd get an X-E5 or a Canon M200 with the 22f2 for way better autofocus in similar size body. Or a Nikon z30 with the 24f1.7 for a similar size body with a faster lens. All are wayyyy cheaper. The X100 is super overrated as a camera in my opinion. Unless you reall
