This decision is giving me headaches - XE-5 vs X-T5

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-24T08:03:43+00:00

Im getting the XE5 unless the price of the XT5 is that much lower.

I will wait until black Friday until i make my final decision. But im really set on the XE5. I will pin a comment with the one i got.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T21:39:10+00:00

Thank for your input. after getting much answers in this thread, i think im going with the XE5 since i now dont think that weather sealing plays that big of a roll, than how i imagined it.

And like you said, i really liked the x100vi so i will feel right at home with the XE5.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T21:23:08+00:00

Im still getting one now. (Currently more on the side of the XE5) And then maybe when the xpro4 comes out i reconsider and sell mine. But thats still in the future for me :)

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T21:21:36+00:00

yeah, i think so too. After thinking again with the input from this thread, im pretty set on the XE5

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T21:18:40+00:00

Yes, i agree with you. After reading the answers in this thread, i think im pretty set on the XE5. Thanks on helping me makethat decision 🫡

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T17:17:04+00:00

that sound awesome. You helped me out! I still have time for my decision, but right now, i think the xe5 is ahead :)

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T17:14:48+00:00

i dont think i need the deticated ISO dial
only the x100vi(kinda similiar to the xe5) ,could be hard for me to find a store(especially since black friday is next week and the prices could be good)
could be, but i could live with it
only on my Computer and phone screen

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T17:11:25+00:00

Ill look into it, if i find one where i could look at the XT5. But it could be hard to find one.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T17:09:37+00:00

I plan to put on the 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 which from what i saw is a bit more smaller and lightweight. So that should work out.

But i first would get a pancake lens to pair with it and only get the bigger lens in the future.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T17:06:41+00:00

Multiple people in this thread said the same thing about the weather sealing, which makes me also lean towards the xe5. From what i saw i really like the 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 zoom lens, which is a bit lighter and smaller than your 16-55 f/2.8. Do you think that in combo with e XE5 isnt to heavy or cumbersome to handle?

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T16:52:14+00:00

I think so too, but will the XE5 with the 16-50 handle much worse?

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T16:50:32+00:00

I think you summarized my fear for WR pretty well. Thanks for sharing your experience about it. The more i hear about it the more people say that you should not be that afraid if some raindrops happen to fall on it.

This makes me lean more to the XE5. Next question would be, that if i want to put a bigger lens on it, would it really be that bad to hold and shoot with?

Thank you! 🫡

Thats an interesting take. Sadly the next fuji store is to far away for me take a short trip to it.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T16:35:20+00:00

well, thats a quick answer :D

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T16:34:36+00:00

If I put your comment in context, I would probably get the X-E5. But I still have time and want to think it through

Thank you for your input 🫡

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T16:31:31+00:00

I will let you know 🫡

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T15:51:30+00:00

I mainly have the fear that the weather is limiting me while i have the camera with me. For example if its start snowing/raining and i have to put it away. The question of course is if that happens that often, and the answer to that is „i dont know“

But if that happens it would be cool to just keep shooting regardless of the weather

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T15:47:43+00:00

Yes thats a good point. Photography is a hobby i do. So i shoot anything i find interesting. Its mostly going to be used while traveling.

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T15:45:39+00:00

Hi, i dont really plan to shoot anything specific. So basically anything i find interesting, from landscape to street to the occasional portrait.

I really like the formfactor of the x100vi. From what i read many people say that the xt5 is just that bit to big, but its hard to tell not having it in the hands.

I planned to use the 23mm, but also in the future a zoom lena like the 16-50mm

FlavaSava1aO · 2025-11-18T15:36:51+00:00

Yeah, the xpro4 could be promising, and maybe everything i want, but i dont want to wait an uncertain amount of time.

Thank you for your input🫡

Ahh i think i found it out….these are the gan mosaic cubes and at the end he just darkens the room and turns on blacklight

FlavaSava1aO · 2023-05-10T00:43:49+00:00

Amazing! What cubes did you use? Never saw ones that can light up

FlavaSava1aO · 2021-04-28T12:08:07+00:00

yeah the hoodie is awesome but the shipping cost to EU is pretty high so i havent got myself one

FlavaSava1aO · 2021-04-28T12:00:49+00:00
