@analogfusion @tomnorthfilm On a slightly different note...
What SD cards do you use?
I use a Lexar Silver Pro 64Gb SDXC II 280/130Mb in slot 1 [RAW] & SanDisk Extreme 64Gb SD I 170Mb in slot 2 [JPG].
And a back up for each of those for my X-T2.
Given the X-T5s much bigger sensor and thus file sizes, would those SD Cards suffice or would new bigger/faster cards be in order?

@itdm5j21 @analogfusion I’ve standardized on Lexar Professional 128 GB 250 Mb/S cards in all my cameras. That capacity works fine for my Nikon 45 mp cameras. It’s overkill on my XT2, but I’d rather standardize. Plus, when I bought them 128 GB was the sweet spot for price/capacity.

@itdm5j21 @tomnorthfilm I've mostly bought Lexar but also some Sandisk cards over the years. I can't tell you the exact cards at the moment, but I've been using a 256GB SD card in my X-T5 for a long time. It's rare that I come anywhere close to filling it up. A 64GB card is probably adequate for anything but event photography, IMO.
