For years I've desired something of the size and format of a Sony RX-100 series camera that embraced the computational photography intelligence of an excellent modern smartphone. In the meantime recently got a camera update to the Fujifilm X-T5 (from X-T3) and hoping the new smartphone app isn't the usual and typical dog poop.

My 1st attempt with the new app wasn't excellent, but it was ok. The onboarding was fairly smooth given the needed permissions. Using my phone to trigger a shot worked. Remote viewing and shooting had more lag than ideal but worked. Unsure if you can remotely set focus if you're in manual focus mode. Smartphone GPS data got embedded in RAW & JPG. Time will tell but this is much better than the previous app and an ok starting point and hope Fujifilm puts quality resources behind it.
