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.

What do critics say about the Fujifilm X-T5?
TechRadar92est.
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.
Tom's Guide92est.
An Editor's Choice review calling the X-T5 a superb, compact, high-resolution APS-C camera with excellent handling and autofocus.
T389est.
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.
9to5Toys89est.
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.
Fstoppers83est.
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.
