We wont get into all the specs here, but that 40MP sensor is significant for a few reasons.
The first is that obviously, it can snap higher-resolution photos.
But it also lets you crop an image much more while retaining plenty of detail.

Fujifilm also brings its film-producing heritage to its cameras in the form of film emulations.
Video
The XT-5 still does video.
“The day when a camera is released without video features will likely never come.
But the XT-5 is capable of high-end video.
It’s just that the camera itself isn’t designed around a hybrid approach.
If you want a video-first camera, go elsewhere.
