X-M5

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

If the lack of a viewfinder doesn't bother you, go for the Fujifilm X-M5. You can pay a small amount extra to get the X-T30 III, which has a viewfinder. Both are great.

If you don’t need a viewfinder, the X-M5 is the best value among new Fujifilm cameras right now. It will last a long time. Get the 15-45mm kit lens and an autofocus Viltrox lens when you want more bokeh, and you can have a lot of fun as a beginner: I recommend the 35mm F1.7 or 56mm F1.7. If you find

I would suggest the X-T3. Build quality is much nicer, you get a high quality EVF, and you can often find them for the same price or less than the X-M5. I know the X-M5 is billed as a "beginner" model, and it's a fine camera. But I think the overall fit and finish of the X-T3 (plus the viewfinder) m

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

Photographs didn’t only become good after IBIS was invented. That's a great way to think about it :D Thanks for the intel! I'm basically almost set on the Fujifilm X-M5. Just trying to see if I'm missing anything obvious. I never used a viewfinder, so I guess it's not something I'll miss. Would be c

I’d add to another comment above that some people buy it looking for a camera with a viewfinder, and this one doesn’t have one, or looking for a built-in flash, and it doesn’t have that either — you know what I mean? If that’s your case and you’re looking for those features, I’d recommend other opti

X-T30III with kit. X-E5 with 23mm pancake if you have the money, and get a cheap kit just in case. X100VI if you're ok burning money! hahaha no, but really the X100 is great (I have it), you just won't be able to change lenses. I'm blanket recommending the X-T30III to everyone who asks anything even

X-M5 would be a great option. Don’t worry about the lack of IBIS. The lens it comes with, and quite a few lenses you’ll be using with it, will have OIS (basically IBIS but inside the lens instead). The others will be fast lenses which help mitigate the need, and there are ways to get by without IBIS

I’m also based in Canada and shop in CAD. if you think the x100vi would be a better choice. Most likely no, especially not for a beginner because right now, you simply don’t know what focal length(s) you prefer to shoot with. Unless you are 100% sure that the 35mm focal length is what you prefer for
