Nice review. This is a better camera than I expected. That kit with the 27 is so perfect.

[@POVwithRC]

One of the great things about the sim dial is that you can set some baseline mods to clarity and tone and WB and grain etc and then cycle through each recipe while carrying the foundation along. It's very versatile. The people complaining have legitimate concerns sometimes but they don't understand that this camera isn't catering to them.

I just heard of this camera yesterday. These specs are ridiculous for the price! Great review, and yeah that 6k open gate video is so tempting.

[@Mamo878]

For street photos, use a cheap manual focus small lens like a 25mm f2, set it on F8, hyperfocal zone focus and go nuts shooting all day.

[@marcp.1752]

Zone focusing is a nice thing, since the days long before AF was being invented. 🙃

[@YouSnoozeYouNooze]

just ask everyone to stand very still to accommodate a slow ss

[@kevinl.3826]

​@@YouSnoozeYouNooze That’s absolutely not how it works. Zone focusing is mainly a daytime street photography technique (in my opinion, the only street photography technique because even Sony's AF isn't good enough to rely on streets). On digital cameras, it's easy-just set the aperture to F8, the shutter speed to 1/500, and let the camera automatically handle the ISO. It’s fast, efficient, and works beautifully for capturing street scenes. On film cameras, though, it’s a bit trickier since ISO is fixed once you load the film. For example, with Kentmere, you're stuck at ISO 400 unless you push it to 800 or 1600, and that setting applies to the entire 36-exposure roll. If you check out Paulie B's channel, you'll notice that many film street photographers constantly adjust their shutter speed and aperture when moving between light and shadow. However, none of them would drop the shutter speed below 1/250 or use an aperture below F5.6, as that wouldn’t be fast enough for shooting on the move or would result in too shallow a depth of field, requiring more precise distance judgment.

I'm amazed, I expected much lower specs. It's not targeted at me, I'm 63, I like a viewfinder for obvious reasons, and ibis is always helpful. However 20 years ago before I needed reading glasses everywhere, I would have been interested, with my f2 and f2.8 lenses. Seems to target the same market as the s9, but with apsc and a wider range of small lenses. Interesting decision by fuji to go that way... I will stick with the chunkier xt5, xt50, and xs10.

[@drchtct]

10:22 consider the Voigtländer 18mm f2.8 and 27mm f2 pancake lenses. They are manual, but built so well, that they are a joy to use and actually focus to infinity. At 18 f2.8 you get a new pancake focal length that barely ever has not enough depth of field to miss focus, and you can always stop down.

[@argospilotsigyn]

This, coupled with an inexpensive normal lens, would make a great evidence camera. It's compact size makes it ideal for stuffing into a duty bag, it takes nice images, you can add a hot shoe flash or connect it to a more extensive external flash system, and you can put it on a tripod/monopod. Additionally, if you need to video record a crime scene, you've got excellent video possibilities in the palm of your hand. And one more thing, you can keep it charged in your vehicle between uses by just plugging it into a USB outlet.

Lack of IBIS for a camera geared towards content creators is a big minus which also really limits the lens selection. For that price point its main competitor is probably Osmo Pocket 3? Which is a mechanical gimbal, but with a 1 inch sensor and fixed lens. Lacking IBIS if I'm a "vlogger" or similar for the stabilization alone I'd probably go with the Osmo Pocket 3.

[@emgee44]

I've watched Chris & Jordan's review and of course Fuji's official launch video, those video's only showed the silver version of the camera, you had the black version and it does look better in black. It's a nice little camera but a little expensive, however I think the big takeaway here is the open gate shutter, I think this is what can expect on Fuji's next two camera's that they teased at the launch video. A camera aimed at the more serious enthusiast , say a X-Pro4 with 40MP open gate, IBIS, traditional flip screen display, higher res screen and OVF, etc yeah I could see me trading in my X-T5 for that.

[@lltechview]

Isn't the stabilisation too bad for videos? Especially content creators who like to vlog will suffer from too much shakiness I fear. But you tell me if it can beat smartphones or action cams in stabilisation. I mean the tech is out there and could be used especially if it downscales 6k to 4k it should have enough playground plus gyro data to stabilise directly in camera as improved EIS. The only reason they are not doing it in camera is the processing power not powerful enough. I wonder when this will change. For photos I think that might be quite good. Though I like the manual control on my X-S10 a bit more.

[@DavidMBanes]

I need a compact and affordable secondary camera to complement the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. It also looks like a good solution for a teleprompter camera and would likely excel as an interview camera when paired with a tripod. I’m particularly impressed by the F-Log feature for color grading in DaVinci Resolve. Overall, this feels like a great interim solution until I can afford or justify investing in the Ronin 4D.

I want a successor to the Fujifilm X30. Fixed lens with mechanical zoom, 28-75mm equivalent, constant f. 2.8, tilt screen, viewfinder, stabilized 26MP APSC sensor. I will spend over a thousand bucks without even thinking or needing it.

[@andrewsorrell2924]

thanks!. am interest to hear your views on digital stabilisation. I am considering the S9 (I can get it similar price maybe 100 dollars more but dont like the lense choice) and ZF (not too much more and it has nice pancake lenses but its heavy).

[@rogerwest1207]

With no Evf it would be better with a drop down tilt screen, as it is the screen will be poking out the side all the time you are using it flagging (no pun intended) that your taking a photo not great for any discrete photography. No ibis is the other big no no. Pity as it's size makes it a carry anywhere.

Agree about the screen. This design makes it awkward to use the touch to shoot function with the screen sticking out the side and still keep the camera steady.

10:32 there are, you can use the 18mm/f2, which is an awesome lens!

Can you confirm if this camera has the new auto focus algorithm that will supposedly come as an update for the other cameras?

[@darkfeign]

Is there a recording limit? 6K at that size is so good, but I wonder if it's time-limited?

[@ckashif008]

When is is going to be available at Adorama ?

[@garends225]

Thanks for testing the autofocus! Wish it was with a 1.4!

[@PeterAi7]

Yes. Short arms, reason for viewfinder 😂. So I choose Z50. Btw, Alpiner on wrist?

[@Bunnie6944]

Great review! Can you please compare to sony ZV 10 mark ii on stabilization?

[@avergara16]

Reminds me of the Samsung NX1000. Decent little camera. Autofocused sucked, and colors were ok, but had potential. Looks like they simply refined the concept.

[@kiv9431]

Is the screen bright enough for bright sunlight? This is probably my main concern

Hi Omar, can you make a tutorial about X-M5 best settings?
