X-E5

First of all, there’s no point asking people to share pics for the purpose of comparing the camera capabilities as both the X-E5 and the X100VI have the exact same sensor, and therefore are identical in terms of image quality. Both cameras check all five of the points you listed so you will have to

Looking at your selection of photos I assume you prefer tighter focal lengths. Maybe instead of gr4 look into gr3x. Other option but not as compact is fujifilm cameras, x-t50 and x-e5 are small and you can put any lens on them or you can check out x100vi for a compact with built in lens. Also recent

Many say that the FujiFilm X-E5 is an interchangeable lens version of the X100VI. The only things your missing is the ND filter and weather sealing. If you want something something with weather sealing look at an X-T5.

Sorry for being blasphemous. In your case I would consider a Fujifilm X-E5 and get the specific lens that suits your preferred style. You get faster AF and the Fujifilm look en mass.

Finally a full frame Fujifilm X-E5.

I'd actually recommend against the X100VI as your first camera, even though it's hugely popular. The X100VI's 23mm f/2 (35mm equivalent) is a great focal length, but as a beginner, you need to discover what YOU like shooting and what focal lengths work for your style. Being locked into one lens mean

I made a similar switch from a7iii with 35mm GM to x100vi, but i didn’t like it because i missed that full-frame crispness. So, i sold the x100vi and switched to lumix S9 to get back to full frame but with customizable LUTs that are similar to fuji. But after using it for a few months, i realized th

I had s9 and I have x-e5. Here is the thing.. x-e5 IBIS was designed for photography so it’s very capable. But for video it’s okay, not a s9 level. AF is also designed for photography. If you do single point shooting then you will be fine. But if you always focus else where but center and hopping fo

I personally regret selling my gr iiix after thinking I have a bigger camera I don't use and want to use more, I didn't use it anymore that I normally did and missed the GR, then I stupidly decided to buy a Fujifilm x-E5 thinking it would make up for the GR, it didn't, I actually found Fuji's button

Hotshoes should never be painted, this is friction zone and any paint is bound to be scracted off at some point If the hotshoe is tighter on the X-E5 than it is on your X-M1, then the issue is on Fujifilm for making their hotshoe tighter, not on Viltrox for not accounting on tiny diffrences in toler
