Lots of people on this sub will tell you not to get the X-M5. It's all relative bullshit. The X-M5 is a great camera. Pair it with a pancake lens and it's so easy to fit in a jacket pocket or throw in a bag. And once you get the hang of it the sensor can produce incredible photos right out of the ca

Great photos on your iPhone 13 Pro. You will do well moving over to a Fuji body. The X-M5 is well priced package. Hard to beat for buying new. Older Fujis will still have pretty close image quality as advancements in sensor tech hasn’t really changed that much. For instance an image from an X-T2 or

Welcome to photography. With your budget, all of these can work, but they’re very different cameras. If you want to learn photography seriously, I’d focus on a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. The Sony a6400 and Fujifilm X-M5 are the strongest choices here. The a6400 has excellent auto

X-Pro2. Hands down. The X-T30III is a great camera, and the X-M5 is a nice little body, and both are technically better than the X-Pro2 on pretty much every aspect besides build quality. But if what you want is fun? Well, the X-Pro2 is the most fun I've had with a camera period. And I'm a camera hoa

I love the idea and overall look & functionality of the X-M5. For anyone wanting to start their Fujifilm journey, it's a great starting point. I really wish that weather sealing wasn't such an expensive thing to add to cameras... Considering it's a travel camera, it would be a great addition. Great

To do various things? Fujifilms X-M5 is a great camera, it's the same price but it still needs a lens. But it does great video, photos, has lots of features more than then X-Half. Has the film simulators. It doesn't have the same rangefinder style body or a EVF. if you value the aesthetic and rangef

My two cents is that this seems like an issue with your current settings protecting the highlights of the image at the cost of the shadow metering. The reality of your situation is that you’re shooting on a APS-C sensor that works a bit differently than their usual full frame Canon gear. I’ve been a

You’re asking a really good question and honestly both choices make sense, it just depends on what you really want from your photos. iPhone 17 Pro MaxIf your goal is convenience, instant sharing, and everyday use, the 17 Pro Max is a very strong choice. It’s a powerful camera in your pocket that wil

After years of shooting exclusively with an iPhone, I recently bought my first dedicated camera (Fujifilm X-M5) to learn the craft properly. This was taken in the EUR district in Rome, a location famous for its rationalist architecture. I wanted to capture the strong geometry and the repeating shado
