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

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

Neither. Amongst the Fuji's, the X-M5 is the rangefinder style body for you. The X-M5, X-S20, and X-H2 / X-H2S are the hybrid video cameras. They have a lot more options friendly to video stuff, including support for adding in fans to cool the thing down; better connectivity, etc. If you're really s

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

It's too vague of a question. What is "good"? Turns on and takes pictures and 16 megapixels is fine? Or must have many megapixels and film sims and IBIS and AI and best autofocus ever? Do you mean "actual integrated mechanical-optical rangefinder"? Because you will only get that from Fujifilm on old

I love both lenses. I’d still keep the XC 15-45. It’s Fujifilm’s most underrated lens. It’s perfect if you want a zoom lens that is significantly smaller, lighter and cheaper (less worry about damage). It’s actually pocketable with my X-M5.

So u/bodybypizza I highly recommend the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 as well!It is SUPER light compared to any comparable Fuji zoom in this range, smaller filter size, and the image quality is really good. I use it with the Fujifilm X-M5 which is essentially the same camera that you have without the EVF. I l

Fujifilm X-M5 + Viltrox 23mm 1.4 Since the older 23mm aint weather sealed anyways and is heavier, you'd probably be ok carrying the Viltrox 25mm F1.7 Air series instead. Smaller and lighter kit - pairs much better with XM5 size wise. I agree with getting Viltrox 28mm f4.5 anyways - its more like a s

TLDR — get an X-T50. It’s barely bigger and is better all around. FWIW I was waiting for the X-E5 to drop and it was going to be my first Fujifilm camera (coming from an old Nikon D5200). The compact size + EVF (unlike the X-M5) were the main features I was excited for. Like others have mentioned th

the x-m5 + 16-80mm if going to feel about the same as your current set up in terms of bulk and weight. if youre happy with your current set up besides it being too bulky, look into getting a pancake lens. i know the fujifilm equivalents are the 27mm f2.8 and the new 23mm f2.8. theres lots of third p
