FUJIFILM X-M5: A 355g Lightweight Mirrorless That Doesn’t Skimp on Video
Fujifilm has officially released the X-M5, with specs cited from Fujifilm’s official product page. It uses a 26.1MP back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 5, recording 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit, 4K/60p and 1080/240p.
We think it fits creators who want a light, grab-and-go body without compromising on video: at 355g it is the lightest in the X series, and the AI subject-detection autofocus recognizes faces, eyes, animals, birds, cars and planes—handy for street shooting and vlogging.
Pricing and availability follow the official Fujifilm site and may vary by region; please confirm on the official page before buying.
