The FUJIFILM X-T5, as the name suggests, is the fifth addition to this series and features the new (non-stacked) 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor along with the X-Processor 5 already found in the X-H2 camera (article & review here).

This 23.5mm x 15.6mm 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR non-stacked, back-illuminated APS-C sensor was first introduced in early September this year with the FUJIFILM X-H2. It is capable of outputting 8K resolution, but of course, for that to happen, the camera needs an appropriate processing pipeline to support it. On the FUJIFILM X-T5, this sensor is...
