Which should you buy?
The X-T5 edges ahead on the Mars Score (57.7 vs 52.8), but the 4.9-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the X-T5 if you care most about megapixels and max video. The biggest gaps in its favor are megapixels, max video.
Pick the α7C II if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are af points, weight, sensor size.
Both ship with comparable in-body stabilization, log profile, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
