What’s not to love about Fuji’s latest offering?
It’s a petite camera that doesn’t compromise on quality.
It’s perfect to travel with and take 6.2K/30P or 4K/60P videos and 26.1MP stills on.

you’re free to even shoot in F-Log2 to capture a wide dynamic range for more creative control.
But of course, it doesn’t have a viewfinder.
So did I miss having one when I was reviewing the X-M5?
For a camera of its size, the X-M5 is seriously powerful.
It measures just 4.4 x 2.62 x 1.49 inches, making it the most compact X Series model.
Its weight is negligible too as the camera clocks in at 10.82 ounces (without battery).

It looks awesome too.
It’s very easy to use thanks to a responsive LCD touchscreen and customizable dials.

you might see a few examples in the gallery above and below.
This way, you don’t necessarily need to spend time in post-production.

The creative possibilities are endless with the X-M5.
The X-M5’s touchscreen is still extremely responsive and I had no issues using it.
I love color grading raw footage, and you could see an example above.

The X-M5 is one of the finest cameras I’ve had the pleasure of getting my hands on.
Is it worth sacrificing the viewfinder and getting the X-M5?
At$799/799, it’s an affordable camera for vloggers and content creators.
