Fujifilm X-M5 review: a pocket-sized powerhouse of a vlogging camera

Fujifilm X-M5 camera with a Fujifilm 35mm lens attached held in a pair of hands.

When the Fujifilm X-T50 turned out to not quite be the X-T30 II replacement many were expecting, some speculated Fujifilm might be turning its attention away from the entry-level camera market to more premium models. However, just a few short months later, Fuji has shown up not just with a new affordable entry-level model, but one that defies the entry-level label.

The Fujifilm X-M5 is the sequel to the original X-M1 released in 2013 – although with a naming jump to reflect Fujifilm's current fifth generation of camera bodies.
