Fujifilm's new X-T5 camera doesn't try to be a film camera, and photographers will love it.

Unlike the old days, when video and still cameras were very different devices, modern cameras often combine the two. That’s great for YouTubers, who get a compact camera that can shoot stunning video with the ability to swap lenses. But for the stills photographer, it can mean compromises in size, user interface, and complexity. With the new XT-5, Fujifilm is taking a firm stand on the stills side.

"The XT-5 is aimed at photographers, and a lot of photographers are happy with it. Most camera launches try to focus on photos and video because almost everyone is an influencer in their own right and uses cameras for making reels, TikTok, photos, vlogs, etc. But that leads to some compromises," pro wedding photographer Navdeep Soni told Lifewire via email. "The XT-5 brings the focus back to photography."

Fujifilm’s XT-5 is the successor to—you guessed it—the XT-4. At first glance, it might not seem like much has changed. But under the hood, there’s a serious upgrade. And the hood itself has undergone some tweaks. Overall, the camera is smaller and about two ounces lighter than its predecessor, but it also has a new processor and a new 40-megapixel sensor, up from 25 megapixels.
