Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade from the Fujifilm X-T3 to the Fujifilm X-T5?
The upgrade is likely worth it. You gain 40MP instead of 26MP, faster bursts (15fps vs 11fps), cleaner high ISO, in-body stabilisation, but you lose weaker video (6.2K 30p vs 4K 60p).
How much does it cost to upgrade from the X-T3 to the X-T5?
The X-T5 costs £1,549 new and about £1,210 used at MPB. Trading in a used X-T3 might bring roughly £380, so the net cost is around £830 buying used (a rough estimate: get quotes from MPB, Wex and Park Cameras).
