Our Verdict
Fujifilm X-T5
Nikon Z f
The Nikon Z f and the Fujifilm X-T5 are both great cameras with vintage-inspired designs. However, they use different-sized sensors. The Fujifilm uses a higher-resolution APS-C sensor. It's more portable and features a tilting screen that some may prefer. Overall, it has slightly better ergonomics and a longer battery life. On the other hand, the Nikon has a fully articulated screen, which some may prefer over the tilting screen on the X-T5, and its PSAM control scheme, with additional dials for ISO and shutter speed, may be more familiar to some shooters. Ultimately, the Fujifilm is better if you prefer an APS-C sensor and lenses, but if you prefer full-frame, the Nikon is better.
