    Called Fujifilm's best camera yet, with a superb 40MP sensor, excellent stabilization and great ergonomics for stills shooters.

    PCMag Middle EastHands-on review · 2023

    A photo-focused return to form with a superb 40MP sensor and dial controls that will please enthusiasts, though it is less of an all-rounder than the X-T4 and trails the Canon EOS R7 in autofocus.

    TechRadarNo printed score · Hands-on review

    Called the best Fujifilm camera overall and a new gold standard for hobbyist photographers, with a great shooting experience, held back mainly by a shallow burst buffer and autofocus behind Canon and Sony.

    Trusted ReviewsNo printed score · Hands-on review · 2023

    A very capable APS-C camera with superb 40MP image quality, strong stabilisation and robust retro build; the premium price and crop sensor are the trade-offs.

    T3No printed score · Hands-on review · 2023

    A versatile, well-built and compact camera that delivers sharp, detailed results and is judged a worthwhile long-term investment, with only price and a stiff screen as quibbles.

    9to5ToysNo printed score · Hands-on review · 2023

    An enthusiastic hands-on review praising the tactile controls, build and film simulations that make shooting fun, with the lack of an articulating screen as the main gripe.

    A year-long professional-use look finds the reviewer very happy with the X-T5 for portrait work, with improved autofocus though some caveats remain.
