Eight years in the past, I received to check a brand new digicam that hadn’t even been introduced but. It was the Fujifilm X-T1, and with its excessive efficiency and small, rugged type issue, it was the world’s first weather-sealed, quick motion succesful outdoor-ready mirrorless digicam.

Immediately falling in love with the X-T1, my total images life was remodeled, and with the successive X-T2, X-T3 an X-T4, I had a entrance row seat because the X Collection cameras got here of age over the subsequent few years.

This week, the subsequent chapter started in my X Collection life after I snagged the final X-T5 in inventory at my native retailer. As quickly as I opened the field and put the digicam in my fingers, my X Collection love was rekindled as soon as once more with this new hot-rodded fifth era mannequin. And with the common 3-way tilt LCD display screen, it felt like residence once more.

I gained’t delve into the specs right here, though you could find them at my X-T5 into publish. I’ll simply say that with a chassis that’s nearer I dimension to the X-T1 than the X-T4, the brand new X-T5 felt like a well-known good friend. Inside, although, the X-T5 is basically the bionic model of the X-T1.

With the radically upgraded fifth gen options and specs that have been launched earlier this fall with the X-H2 and X-H2S, the X-T5 brings nearly all of that into the normal SLR type “X-T” physique that so many people love.

Being “magic hoar frost” season right here in Anchorage proper now, I instantly slapped a lens on it, (the XF70-300mm), bundled up and took it for a brief stroll round my neighborhood within the clear, chilly -10F diploma air. Over the subsequent 53 minutes, I shot a group of pictures that I really feel completely present of what I’ve all the time liked concerning the X Collection.

All of those are straight JPEGs, proper out of the digicam. Most have been shot with the Velvia movie simulation, though the final picture on this publish was made with the brand new Nostalgic NEG movie sim.

I’ll undoubtedly be posting extra photos and performing some evaluation posts and movies for the X-T5 after the brand new 12 months. For now, take pleasure in these snowy pictures and have an incredible vacation season!

If you wish to seize an X-T5 for your self and help my web site, you may order one at B&H Picture.
