Fujifilm X-T5 in Stock Check: Things Get Better at Amazon and Fujifilm is Pushing Kits over Body Only
In many countries, Amazon was the last store to ship out Fujifilm X-T5 cameras (for the reasons I have explained already in the past). But things are better now and in fact they have some X-T5 combinations in stock.
It is also clear now, that Fujifilm is pushing X-T5 kits over body only. If I was Fuji, I’d have done the opposite, as most X-T5 owners are probably upgrading from previous X-T cameras. For us this means that what we find in stock now are X-T5 kits.

My Fujifilm X-T5? Give me Time to HATE it, but For Now it’s (Almost) all Just LOVE
I know when one only writes good things about something, people get suspicious.
So feel free to mistrust me guys, but so far I really have only great things to say about the Fujifilm X-T5.
But give me time, I will find something to moan about. I just need to actually have time to shoot with it.
Because even if I have the Fujifilm X-T5 since a few days already, in these weeks I was so overloaded with work, that I had zero time to go out and take picture.
And yet, holidays are coming and soon my X-T5 will be extensively tested. I might let you know in the next few days. Can’t wait for it.
So what are my impressions so far?
Well, I wanted to make a youtube video about it, but some readers told me they prefer written stuff. So I went hybrid this time, with text to read and just short video clips of 10 seconds in those cases I feel they are useful.

Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2s – The Higher End Trinity Review Roundup
Here is a roundup of the three newest higher end Fujifilm cameras: the Fujifilm X-T5, Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-H2s.
And yes, it is true that the Fujifilm X-T5 is nor marketed as “high end”. But unless you need long bursts with deep buffer or the highest possible video power, then the Fujifilm X-T5 is just right up there in performance with those other guys.
So, enjoy the roundup.

Fujifilm X-T5 Manual Shares Details about Upcoming TG-BT1 Tripod Grip
We already told you about the Fujifilm TG-BT1 grip coming (later on confirmed by digicame-info).
Now digicame-info spotted a reference to the Fujifilm TG-BT1 in the Fujifilm X-T5 owners manual. It says:
Tripod Grips: TG-BT1: Record movies, take photographs, or adjust zoom on compatible power zoom lenses while holding this Bluetooth tripod grip.
It will basically work just like as the Sony Tripod Shooting Grip.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is Shipping (and in Stock) – Here are the Top 5 Accessories I Can Recommend
With the Fujifilm X-T5 now shipping (and even being in stock at B&H & co), I thought I make a list of accessories I can recommend to you.
1) Dual Battery Charger, but Which One?
The Fujifilm X-T5 does not come with an external charger in the box, so you better get one.
You can get the Fujifilm original one (BC-W235) or get a more affordable third party solution like the Nitecore FX3 dual charger.
I own both and if I’d have to nail it down to Pros and Cons, I’d say the Fujifilm BC-W235 charges a bit faster but the Nitecore FX3 is more compact and more affordable. So it’s up to you to set your priority.

2) Spare Battery, but Which One?
For many of you the Fujifilm X-T5 might be the first camera with the new NP-W235 battery. And even though you’ll enjoy much longer battery life compared to the NP-W126S, it’s best to get at least another battery.
Which one? Well, after having had my first third party battery fail last year, where my Patona swelled up in my X-E3 and I had to fiddle around to get it out, I think the safest way to go is with original batteries.
Sure, it was much cheaper than the original battery, so I can’t complain about its shorter life span. But going forward I will stick with the original.

3) Only recommended SD Cards (with difference over X-T4 recommended cards)
If, like me, you used an X-T4 and now upgraded to the Fujifilm X-T5, and you bought your SD-Cards based on the officially recommended cards list for the Fujifilm X-T4, then you have to be aware that there have been changes.
Some UHS-II cards recommended for the Fujifilm X-T4 (for example the Toshiba Exceria Pro) are now no longer recommended for the 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-T5. The updated list for X-T5 contains:
- Delkin Black V90
- Delkin Power V90
- Lexar 1667xSilver
- Lexar 1800xGold
- ProGrade Cobalt 300R V90
- ProGrade Gold 250R V60
- SanDisk Extreme Pro 300 V90
- Sony SF-E V60
- Sony TOUGH SF-G V90
- Wise SD-N
- Suneast Ultimate Pro V90
The detailed list of recommeded cards for X-T5 can be found here and for X-T4 here.
4) Good Bye Selfie Screen, Welcome Screen Protector
One of the cool things of my Fujifilm X-T4 is that I can flip the screen inwards and hence keep it nicely protected (and it gives it an ultimate retro touch, as it looks to be a camera with no LCD screen at all).
However, with the 3 way screen of the Fujifilm X-T5 that is no longer possible.
But don’t panic, the solution to this is cheap and efficient: buy a touch sensitive screen protector. I buy those usually at my local store, so they also apply it on my camera right on the spot.
5) Give it a Cool Touch
The Fujifilm X-T5 is a wonderful looking camera, but if you want to put the icing on the cake and make it perfect, you can get one of those little X custom hot shoe covers.
