I recently got to handle a whole bunch of cameras at The Photography & Video Show, and despite all of the manufacturers’ latest and greatest wears vying for my attention, I kept coming back to the humble Fujifilm X-M5. There was a time when I was considering picking one up, but I’ve since come to the conclusion that it’s not the camera for me. However, that’s not to say I’m telling you to pass it by. Far from it.
You see, I’ve long bemoaned the industry’s pivot away from beginner cameras. You’ve got the excellent Canon EOS R100 (thank goodness) and the aging Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV, and that’s about it. Fujifilm never replaced the X-T200 and Nikon hasn’t bothered bringing out a mirrorless successor to the D3500.
