Taking the Fujifilm X-M5 over the X100VI might sound strange, but hear me out. Sure, the Fujifilm X100VI has taken the photography world by storm, and for good reason. It carries the charm and nostalgia of a fixed-lens rangefinder-style camera, coupled with Fujifilm’s latest sensor and film simulations.
I completely understand the appeal – after all, I own an X100F myself – and the simplicity of a fixed 35mm equivalent lens is liberating in many ways. But after handling the Fujifilm X-M5 for the first time at the Fujifilm House of Photography last week, I found myself asking: isn’t this the more logical choice?
