Fujifilm X-T5 review
富士X-T5测评
The Fujifilm X-T5 is the latest model in Fujifilm's X-series camera, following the launch of the X-H2 and the X-H2S earlier in 2022. As a successor to the Fujifilm X-T4 (which came out in 2020), it shares a similarly compact and traditional design, with iconic dials on the top plate for changing the exposure settings.
富士X-T5是继2022年早些时候推出X-H2和X-H2S之后,富士公司X系列相机的最新机型。作为富士X-T4(2020年问世)的继任者,它同样也具有小巧坚实、传统的设计,顶板上有标志性的拨盘,用于改变曝光设置。
Fujifilm's X-series is now ten years old, but the X-T5 brings it up to date with an impressive 40.2MP BSI imaging sensor and the new X-Processor 5, which gives double the processing speed of the X-T4 and a 20% longer battery life.
富士的X系列现在已经有十年历史了,但X-T5达到了X系列的最新水平,它拥有令人印象深刻的4020万像素BSI成像传感器和新的X-Processor 5处理器,其处理速度是X-T4的两倍,电池寿命延长20%。
The ethos of the X-T5 is 'photography first' — hence the manual control dials — but it's no slouch for video either, with 6.2K recording and frame rates up to 29.97FPS. It is a generalist camera designed to perform well across all photographic genres rather than excel at one, and it manages to combine style and substance as it does.
X-T5的精神是 "摄影第一"——因此有手动控制转盘——但它在视频方面也毫不逊色,能拍摄6.2K视频和高达29.97FPS的帧率。它是一款通用型相机,旨在所有摄影类型中表现良好,而不是在某一类型中表现出色,而且它设法将风格和内容结合起来。

The Fujifilm X-T5 is an undeniably compact body at just 557g (50g lighter than the X-T4) and this makes it a pleasure to shoot handheld for genres like street photography. Of course, if you're shooting in the dark the camera is likely to be on a tripod, where the weight isn't such an important factor, but it's something to bear in mind if you often hike or travel to your locations and need gear that's lightweight.
不可否认,富士X-T5的机身小巧坚实,只有557克(比X-T4轻50克),这使得用它来手持拍摄街头摄影等类型的照片成为一种乐趣。当然,如果你在黑暗环境中拍摄,相机可能需要放在三脚架上,重量不是一个重要因素,但如果你经常徒步旅行到你的目的地,切记需要轻便的装备。
In terms of the overall design, you'd definitely call the X-T5 a looker, and it sports a retro vibe in both the black and silver colorways available. The body itself is made from sleek, brushed metal, and the camera has a robust weather-sealed construction — sealed at 56 points, in fact, to resist dust and moisture damage out in the field.
就整体设计而言,你肯定会称X-T5为“好看”,它的黑色和银色配色都有一种复古的气息。机身本身由光滑的拉丝金属制成,相机有一个坚固的天气密封结构——事实上,有56处密封,以抵御野外的灰尘和湿气损害。
The button layout of the Fujifilm X-T5 is defined (much like the X-T4) by three iconic control dials on the top plate of the camera, which allow you to set the ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation by physically turning them. The ISO dial on the far left is stacked, meaning that underneath it there's another dial for setting the drive mode — continuous (high and low), single shooting, HDR, Pixel Shift Multi-Shot and bracketing. The shutter speed dial is stacked with a Still and Movie switch underneath it, to go from video to photo mode. You can lock both the ISO and shutter dial on the top, which stops you from rotating it accidentally while shooting or when the camera is tucked away in your kit bag.
富士X-T5的按钮布局由相机顶板上的三个标志性控制转盘定义(很像X-T4),允许您通过物理转动它们来设置ISO、快门速度和曝光补偿。最左边的ISO转盘是叠加的,这意味着在它下面有另一个转盘用于设置驱动模式——连续(高和低)、单次拍摄、HDR、像素移位多次拍摄和包围模式。快门速度转盘下面有一个静态和动态开关,用于从视频模式切换到照片模式。您可以锁定顶部的ISO和快门拨盘,这样可以防止您在拍摄时或相机藏进工具包时意外地旋转它。
What about the aperture? Almost every Fujifilm XF lens has an aperture ring on the lens barrel, and this means that all the exposure settings can essentially be changed before you even power up the camera. It's a tactile approach to handling that really suits traditional photographers as it feels much like a rangefinder film camera, but for those coming from other brands or a DSLR style of handling, it will take a while to learn intuitively.
那么光圈呢?几乎每支富士XF镜头的镜筒上都有一个光圈环,这意味着所有的曝光设置基本上都可以在你开机之前改变。这是一种触觉的操作方法,非常适合传统的摄影师,因为它感觉很像测距仪的胶片相机,但对于那些来自其他品牌或单反相机的操作风格的人来说,需要一段时间来直观地学习。
Many similarly-priced cameras have a light-up LED panel on the top of the camera instead, which will display the camera settings in the dark quite nicely. Although you could argue that the X-T5's physical dials are actually easier to operate in the dark (once you're familiar with them), generally, it's hard to see your settings in low light — I often found myself checking the main LCD screen instead.
许多类似价格的相机在相机顶部有一个发光的LED面板,这将在黑暗中相当好地显示相机设置。虽然你可能会说X-T5的物理转盘实际上更容易在黑暗中操作(一旦你熟悉了它们),但一般来说,在弱光下很难看到你的设置——我经常发现自己在检查主液晶触摸屏。

When you buy a new camera it's rarely because of the processor, but the X-T5's new X-Processor 5 is responsible for several new features. These include an image-processing algorithm that boosts resolution without compromising on the signal-to-noise ratio (better image quality at higher ISOs), twice the processing speed of the X-T4 and more efficient power consumption for longer battery life.
当你购买一台新相机时,很少是因为处理器,但X-T5的新X-Processor 5处理器具有几个新功能。其中包括一种图像处理算法,在不影响信噪比的情况下提高了分辨率(在更高的ISO下有更好的图像质量),处理速度是X-T4的两倍,更有效的功耗使电池续航能力更长。
DSLRs are still the cameras to beat when it comes to battery, but the X-T5 will last for around 700 shots. It drains significantly more quickly for bracketed shots and when using Bulb mode, but a spare battery largely solves this problem.
在电池方面,单反相机仍然是最受欢迎的相机,但X-T5可以持续拍摄约700张左右的照片。在包围式拍摄和使用灯泡模式时,电池的消耗明显更快,但备用电池在很大程度上解决了这个问题。
Unlike the Fujifilm X-T4's flip-out LCD touchscreen, the X-T5 gets a 3-way tilting touchscreen with a bumped-up resolution of 1.84 million dots. This can be a bit awkward to use for composing nighttime shots when the camera is pointing upwards at the sky. You also can't flip it out to face you (so no vlogging or self-portraits) or fold it back on itself to keep it protected.
与富士X-T4的翻转式LCD触摸屏不同,X-T5有一个3向倾斜的触摸屏,分辨率提高到184万点。在夜间拍摄时,当相机向上指向天空时,使用这个屏幕可能会有点尴尬。你也不能把它翻过来面对你(所以不能进行视频记录或自拍),也不能把它折叠起来保护它。
Otherwise, the LCD is sharp, color-rich and responsive, and you can choose how much information is shown on the display if you want to see the edges of the frame more clearly. You'll see the same screen through the electronic viewfinder, which is activated as you move closer to it via a sensor. This is also pleasingly crisp, but again, awkward to use when the whole camera is pointed upwards.
否则,液晶屏很清晰,色彩丰富,反应灵敏,如果你想更清楚地看到画面的边缘,你可以选择在显示屏上显示多少信息。你将通过电子取景器看到同样的屏幕,当你通过传感器靠近它时,取景器就会被激活。这也很清晰,能让人心情愉悦,但同样,当整个相机指向上方时,使用起来就很尴尬了。
Navigating the camera menu is simple and quick via a four-way joystick. As we've mentioned already, the X-T5 doesn't have exposure modes like Manual, Aperture priority or Shutter priority. Instead, there's Automatic (A) and Bulb (B), and the rest of the controls are up to you. In truth, this suits nighttime photography well, where you're likely to adjust the settings manually to account for the ambient light in a scene.
通过一个四向操纵杆导航相机菜单简单而快速。正如我们已经提到的,X-T5没有手动、光圈优先或快门优先等曝光模式。相反,有自动(A)和灯泡(B)模式,其余的控制由你决定。事实上,这很适合夜间拍摄,这时你可能会手动调整设置以适应场景中的环境光。
One underrated feature of the X-T series is that by moving the shutter to T, you can dial in shutter speeds longer than the 30 seconds offered by most consumer cameras — a great benefit for capturing very dark skies when minutes, rather than seconds, are necessary for the correct exposure.
X-T系列的一个被低估的功能是,通过将快门移到T档,你可以拨出比大多数消费类相机提供的30秒更长的快门速度——这对于捕捉非常黑暗的天空来说是一个很大的好处,因为正确的曝光需要几分钟,而不是几秒钟。
The Fujifilm X-T5 has two SD card memory slots, allowing you to shoot both JPGs and RAW files simultaneously. As well as the standard JPEG and RAW (14bit) file formats, there's also DCF, TIFF (created with an in-camera RAW conversion) and for the first time, HEIF files. This High-Efficiency Image File Format produced 10-bit image quality at a 30% smaller file size than JPEG, which might come in useful if you forget to pack extra memory cards, or need to capture more starry sky shots than planned.
富士X-T5有两个SD卡存储槽,允许您同时拍摄JPG和RAW文件。除了标准的JPEG和RAW(14位)文件格式,还有DCF、TIFF(通过相机内RAW转换创建)以及首次出现的HEIF文件。这种高效图像文件格式产生了10位的图像质量,文件大小比JPEG格式小30%,如果您忘记携带额外的相机内存卡,或者需要拍摄比计划更多的星空照片,这可能会很有用。
Image stabilization is good in low light
图像稳定功能在弱光下很好
Image noise at higher ISOs isn't class-leading
在较高感光度(ISO)下的图像躁点并不领先于同类产品
Autofocus subject tracking is superb
自动对焦的主体跟踪功能非常好
The X-T5 has the same seven-stop built-in stabilization as the flagship Fujifilm X-H2S and X-H2. It's an excellent crutch to rely on when shooting handheld images in low light as you can get away with slower shutter speeds, without camera shake. IBIS also powers the X-T5's Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature, which can create an ultra-high-resolution 160MP image with one touch of the shutter button by shifting the sensor by a half pixel between each frame. It's not a mode that you'd use for fast-moving subjects, but it has the potential to quadruple the resolution and detail with static sky shots.
X-T5拥有与旗舰产品富士X-H2S和X-H2相同的七档内置防抖功能。在弱光下手持拍摄图像时,这是一个很可靠的功能,因为你可以使用较慢的快门速度,而不会出现相机抖动。IBIS还为X-T5的像素移位多重拍摄功能提供动力,通过在每一帧之间将传感器移位半个像素,只需按下快门按钮就可以创建一个16000万像素的超高分辨率图像。这不是一种你会用于快速移动物体的模式,但它有可能使静态天空照片的分辨率和细节翻两番。
Moving onto autofocus — again, the same as the X-H2 — the subject detection modes now include animals, birds and vehicles — and they all lock onto targets rapidly. For night sky photography it's probably best to switch the focus to manual using the toggle on the front of the camera, but it's good to know that AF tracking is accurate and zippy for a wide range of genres.
转到自动对焦——同样,与X-H2相同——主体检测模式现在包括动物、鸟类和车辆——它们都能迅速锁定目标。对于夜空摄影,最好使用相机前面的切换键将焦点切换到手动,但最好知道自动对焦跟踪对于各种类型都是准确和快速的。
Now let's talk about image quality. Of course, the main downside of shooting with an APS-C sensor (compared to full-frame) is the level of noise you get at higher ISOs. The X-T5 isn't immune to this issue, but it's definitely useable up to around ISO12,800. Noise actually becomes more noticeable if you've deliberately underexposed images, then try to lift the shadow areas by a few stops in post-processing. It's not a dealbreaker, but it isn't class-leading either.
现在我们来谈谈画质。当然,使用APS-C传感器拍摄的主要缺点(与全画幅相比)是你在较高ISO下的噪点水平。X-T5也不能幸免于这个问题,但它在ISO12,800左右使用绝对是没问题的。如果你故意降低图像的曝光度,然后在后期处理中尝试将阴影区域提高几档,那么噪点实际上会变得更加明显。这并不是什么大问题,但也不是领先的。
Cameras often render nighttime shots as too warm, but the X-T5's Automatic White balance is generally very accurate when shooting in RAW. We can thank deep-learning AI tech for that, which identifies orange-tinged colors to avoid color casts. It's worth mentioning that there are also 19 Film Simulation modes on the X-T5 — which can be applied to JPGs. These are too much of a gimmick for serious astrophotography but can be fun to try out if you're sending shots straight to a smartphone.
相机通常会将夜间拍摄的照片渲染得过于温暖,但X-T5的自动白平衡在用RAW模式拍摄时通常非常准确。我们可以为此感谢深度学习的人工智能技术,它可以识别带有橙色的颜色,以避免色差。值得一提的是,X-T5上还有19种胶片模拟模式--可以应用于JPG。这些对于严肃的天体摄影来说太过噱头,但如果你直接将照片发送到智能手机上,不妨可以尝试一下,会很有趣。
The X-T5 might not be an astrophotography specialist but it's equipped with a raft of tools to help you capture night-time subjects. The interval timer, for example, can be set to record an infinite number of images at an interval of your choice from a single second to a full 24 hours. This opens up the possibility of capturing time lapses, star trails and other celestial events without the need for a separate intervalometer.
X-T5可能不是一个天体摄影专家,但它配备了大量的工具来帮助你捕捉夜间的主题。例如,间隔定时器可以设置为以您选择的间隔记录无限多的图像,从一秒钟到整整24小时不等。这就为捕捉时间流逝、星轨和其他天体事件提供了可能性,而不需要单独的时间间隔仪。
The multiple exposure mode effectively combines up to nine images into a composite, and then there's exposure bracketing and focus bracketing, the latter of which lets you choose one to 999 frames with a choice of ten-step sizes. Focus stacking shots is a great way to increase the sharpness of night sky images, and the X-T5 speeds up the process.
多重曝光模式可以有效地将多达九张图像合成一幅合成图像,然后是曝光包围和对焦包围,后者可以让你选择一至九百九十九帧,有十步的大小可供选择。对焦叠加拍摄是提高夜空图像清晰度的好方法,而X-T5加快了这个过程。
If you want a camera that truly makes you feel like a 'traditional' photographer, the X-T5 is an amazing option that grows on you the more you use it. However, it's not a nighttime specialist by any means, and the cropped sensor is always going to produce more noise in low light and higher ISOs than a full-frame camera will do.
如果你想要一台真正让你觉得自己是“传统”摄影师的相机,X-T5是一个了不起的选择,你会越用越喜欢它。然而,它绝不是夜间专家,而且裁剪过的传感器在弱光和高ISO下总是会比全画幅相机产生更多噪点。
Buy it if you like the retro look and want a versatile all-around performer at a reasonable price. Don't buy it if you want a camera with a totally modern feel, or if all you shoot is astrophotography at high ISOs.
如果你喜欢复古的外观,并希望以合理的价格获得一个全能的性能,那就买它。如果你想要一台完全现代化的相机,或者你只想在高ISO下拍摄天体摄影,就不要买它。
If you've got a smaller budget than the X-T5 and want a full-frame camera for better low-light performance, consider the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. It's a cheaper and older DSLR, but it still produces great images, as well as 4K time-lapse videos.
如果你的预算比X-T5少,并且想要一台全画幅相机以获得更好的弱光性能,可以考虑佳能EOS 6D Mark II。这是一款更便宜、更老的数码单反相机,但它仍然能产生很好的图像,以及4K延时视频。
If you feel an affinity for Fujifilm but want its top-performing camera, then spend $300 more on the Fujifilm X-H2 (opens in new tab) which has better video, burst modes and modern handling.
如果你对富士胶片有好感,但又想要它的顶级性能的相机,那就多花300美元购买富士胶片X-H2(在新标签中打开),它有更好的视频、连拍模式和现代化处理。
At a similar price, the Sony A7 III is an excellent choice if you're not dabbling in much beyond night photography, thanks to its exposure-ramped view to help compose astro shots as well as low light autofocus detection.
在类似的价格下,如果你不涉足夜间摄影以外的领域,索尼A7 III是一个很好的选择,这要归功于它的曝光斜视,以帮助构思天体拍摄,以及弱光自动对焦检测。
