I finally splurged on the X-T5 for my trip to Kyoto next month but honestly im kinda frustrated with how it feels in my hand. the grip is just so tiny and my pinky keeps dangling off the bottom which makes it feel like im gonna drop it every time I try to do street shots. for nearly two grand youd think it would feel more secure.
plus the battery life seems way shorter than the reviews said so im already stressed about it dying halfway through a day of shooting. I need to get this sorted before my flight in three weeks. what are the actual must-have accessories to make this thing usable? like what grips or batteries are actually worth the money?
tbh the Fujifilm MHG-XT5 Metal Hand Grip is the best fix for that dangling pinky. For power, grab two extra Fujifilm NP-W235 Li-ion Battery units. The CIPA rating is 580 shots, but street shooting with Boost Mode on usually eats that way faster. I'd also recommend the Nitecore FX3 Dual Slot USB Charger because it monitors real-time voltage and battery health while you're charging on the go.
