Introduction
The Fujifilm X-M5 is a new entry-level, APS-C sensor, mirrorless camera which was first announced in October 2024 and went on sale in November 2024.
It features the same 26 megapixel X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 5 processor as the more expensive X-S20 model. It therefore provides exactly the same image quality and auto-focus performance.
It can automatically detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones thanks to the X-Processor 5’s AI deep learning capabilities.
There’s a dedicated Film Simulation dial which provides quick access to selected simulations plus three user modes, just like on the X-T50. There are 20 film simulations in total including Reala Ace.
The native sensitivity range is ISO 160 to ISO 12,800, which can be expanded to ISO 80 to ISO 51,200.
It offers 8fps continuous shooting when using the manual shutter, increasing to 20fps when switching to the electronic shutter without any crop, or 30fps with a 1.25x crop applied.
It can record a highest video quality rate of 6.2K/30P Open Gate, plus DCI 4K/60P, 1080/60P, 1080/240P high-speed, in 4:2:2 10-bit internally up to 200Mbps bit-rate.
The brand new 9:16 short movie mode creates a 1080p vertical movie when holding the camera horizontally.
There are 3 internal directional microphones offering surround, front and back priority, plus improved wind filter and steady-state noise reduction modes.
Connection via USB cable to a smartphone is available for the first time via the new Fujifilm XApp for high-speed transfer.
The more powerful digital stabilization mode for video (1.32x crop) can now auto-correct rolling shutter in-camera and there’s a new portrait enhancer mode for both video and stills.
It offers up to 60min recording time at room temperature as standard, with the new 4K Long-play mode applying a bigger crop to help reduce heat and further extend recording times.
For the first time on an X-series camera, all the connection ports are located on the opposite side of the flip-screen, with the microphone jack positioned on top.
The X-M5 is smaller and lighter than the similarly priced X-T30 II entry-level camera, measuring 111.9 x 66.6 x 38.0mm and weighing in at 355g versus 378g for the XT30II.
The Fujifilm X-M5 is available in two different colours – Black or Silver – priced at £799 / €899 / $799 body-only or £899 / €999 / $899 with the XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ kit lens. It is manufactured in China.
