Fujifilm X-Pro1 (2012) / Fujifilm X-T5 (2022)

I have here a comparison involving two Fujifilm X (Ten years apart)

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 (2012) the first Fujifilm X with interchangeable lenses and the new Fujifilm X-T5 (2022)
with the 40 MP sensor

I used the Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR for both cameras

Thank you!

Yep, they are both cameras that make fine photos. :)

Normal they are Fuji 😁

10-years, little changed. Why buy new gear?

We should ask ourselves this question more often! 😎

100% agree.

BTW… while I don’t comment on most of your “old gear” threads, I read them all. I love them. It’s a bit of “memory lane” for me and often just a solid reminder of the past. Thank you for posting stuff like this, I, for one, really like the content.

I see absolutely no difference in those images. In fact I'm certain if this site had more traffic than it does now, someone would come along and either say you faked the comparison or the exif data...

Well done, and thanks for posting these.

Thank you very much that's nice of you 👍🏻

Completely agree, although I still feel a little guilty 😳

Oh, it's already happened to hear this kind of comment, and much worse! 🤣

😎 👍🏻

If all you do with your images is posting them at lower resolution in the internet, or printing them small, cameras from even more than 10 years ago are still fine. On the other hand, in the meantime we have better EVFs, sensor image stabilization, and better sensors. For those who value and need such things.

Yes, I was surprised to see so much difference when looking through the viewfinders, just how superior the X-T5's EVF is. And I had a lot of trouble with the autofocus, especially for close-up photography (macro) with the X-Pro1.
There are so many parameters to take into account when making a decision, for a camera.

But I started dreaming of an X-Pro4, I'm incorrigible! 😱

Sorry, but I don't see it.

As for color differences, certainly nothing meaningful on my calibrated monitor. And even then, it's entirely a matter of preference, so I don't see that as an improvement.

Just to point out, it is always possible to download (at full resolution) the photographs of my comparisons on Flickr
With the small arrow to the right of the photo.

Although it is nice to have improved image quality, for me, it more about the improvements in usability. As I age it seems that image stabilization, improved viewfinders, better auto focus, etc. came at just the right time to keep me in the game. And I appreciate that and find it worth investing in.
