The X-T5’s image stabilisation system ensures sharp results even in challenging conditions, and its extended ISO range makes it versatile in both bright and dim lighting. For those who enjoy experimenting with different looks, Fujifilm’s signature Film Simulation modes – like the new Nostalgic Negative – produces stunning JPEGs straight out of the camera. Despite its focus on stills, the X-T5 also packs professional-grade video features, including 6.2K recording, making it a versatile option for hybrid shooters.
