I got one to learn photography. Selling point was the size. It still takes better photos than an iphone. I paired it up with the fuji 27mm. I have small hands so the size is just perfect.
@@cloclommx it's a really nice camera to daily carry and take everywhere with you! I haven't used the 27mm yet but I've heard great things! Have you messed around with recipes a lot
For the price , I think it seems great. You can get some awesome photos and if you want to get into video you can take some great video on a tripod or maybe with stabilized lenses I wish it was able to do all the Same film simulations as the x100v/vi though and they should of included ibis but I understand it for the price
@@evansalmonsen it can still do all the simulations and recipes, it's just a bit more of a hassle to setup and use. A stabilized lenses, the electronic stabilization and post stabilization can still get decent results!
@@garends225 there were a few raws but most were JPEG using the fujiweekly Film Sim dial recipe then I edited those JPEGs in post to add some more contrast and light masking. All the color is pretty much SOOC
I'm bit confused with zv e10 n xm5 due to budget constraint and plan to do some cinematography How's zv e10 mark2/1 video quality over xm5? Might need to pair xm5 with gimbal as sony got gyro stabilisation
Personally I'm not a fan of the post workflow with the Sony gyro stabilization. Sure it can get good results but overall I've always felt it's best used as a last case scenario rather than something you should count on using all the time. It's not what's I'd hang my hat on. I think overall you'll get very similar quality results out of both camera. I'd make my design based on the lens mount you'd prefer to invest in for the long run.
Super Tiny. I've Got One! The More You Tinker With It & Stare At It, You'll Start Speaking To It, In Baby Talk!🥴🤭😬🤣 Regarding Larger Lens Use, IMO, Using THE LENS, As Your Primary Grip Is Key. Otherwise Your Hands Will Mildly Cramp, Taking One Handed Shots. Also The Smallrig Grip Is A Must.
@@wagnerjean-francois942 I've never been a fan of adding grips to a camera, I've never enjoyed how it feels. Gripping then lens as a primary grip is fine untill you need to go adjust settings and your fingers aren't quite in the right spot.
@@KofiYeboah it's really impressive how small it is! I'm gonna have a hard time sending it back to Fuji. I already got my loan extended once 😂. Thanks dude!
I'd definitely pay a bit more for ibis but that's not a deal breaker. As for weather sealing I think it's a big buzz word. There's no real certification process for weather sealing and it's normal just a few small rubber gaskets. I used the X-M5 in light rain with no issues.
@ or they can use the camera set up from the mavric pro 3. I feel like they need something in that $1000-1500 price range. Wouldn't quality and versitity justify a sacrifice in size?
@ the Mavic pro 3 is micro 4/3rds not apsc. m4/3rds would make a bit more sense but it would still add pretty substantial weight and size. At the point you'll need that level of quality you're going to be on more professional shoots and will benefit from using a traditional camera and gimbal setup. I'd sooner rather a small zoom range over a larger sensor. Not once using the P3 have I felt I needed a larger sensor
@@selishots I see what your saying. While I'm not a professional videographer. I do use my camera for professional purposes to shoot fitness content for work, and there are situations feel zoom range or a larger sensor would benefit.
@ I've shot with the P3 in very low light situations and I find it punches above its sensor class. Think about how much people already hate camera in public gyms, so you really want something larger in the gym that will draw more attention to yourself as well as make others angry with you. Yes larger sensors are always nice but you need to weigh pros vs cons
Considering its a new sensor, it can do cinematography and good with photos. Using an edu email, its 100$ cheaper.. other cameras such as the RX100, GRIII and Lumix S9, its way cheaper.. 700$ brand new, I cant complain.. over 50% cheaper than the X100VI if you can find it. give it a few months people will oversell this or a few years and the sentiment will be positive. Happens every time. I dont even know what alternatives are as good for 700$. This is a great hybrid camera, get some accessories like a lightweight gimbal, for 150$ and then lens for another 150$, its 1K to make it work well in all scenarios if really needed.
@@PluPerfective that's why I'm saying, the value this camera offers is really insane. The closest thing to it is probably the ZV-E10ii but that isn't as full featured and costs more. It's a great offering, Fuji nailed this one.
@@selishots Im suprised the general consensus seems negative, but i think this will work well for my first camera to build my way up. Thanks for the review btw.
I honestly haven't sent to much negative feedback on this camera, mostly everything I've seen is pretty positive . Where have you seen more negative reviews?
@@selishots Reddit and some youtube reviews. Perhaps its the algo but seems a lot of people say theres no point in getting this camera and point towards something 1.5 - 3.0 x more expensive
XM5 is a great camera, But it has one flaws The lack of IBIS really have an impact U have to grip the camera steady Or else you would get some shaky image, coming from XS20 that have IBIS really make me have to alter my shooting style when i use XM5, But the value it brings is crazy good
@@muramasa30 every camera has its pros and cons. I honestly don't think the lack of ibis is a huge problem unless you're getting the camera just for vlogging which like I touched on in my video I don't think you should get it for just vlogging.
@ I might be getting one soon since Costco has them and despite not getting the Black Friday sale, it’s still a good price. If I don’t win the competition I’ll probably just get it from them 😂
@ yes if the lens has OIS the camera will take advantage of it. When cameras have both IBIS and a lens with OIS they talk to each other and with together for even more stabilization. I prefer IBIS because it gives a little stabilization to every lens you use while OIS is lens dependent
I understand. You can double check this. If you do not have IS enabled in the settings your 15-45's OIS will be disabled and the video will be shaky as in your video.
@@TungstenOvergaard I haven't noticed any substantial differences in the blacks between the X-M5 and other Fuji cameras I've used. Why do you think they are different?
@@selishots at same settings and same Film simulations, blacks are considerable richer in the X-M5. I don’t have the x100v anymore and I cannot try, but t certainly with the X-T5.
@ the X-T4 uses the X-Trans V sensor, the X-M5 uses the same X-Trans IV sensor as the X100v, X-T4, X-S20 etc. I've also never heard that about the blacks. I have heard the blues are a bit different between the X-Trans IV and V sensors. Fuji X weekly talks about the difference in the blues often.
Will you be picking up an X-M5 ? How will you be using it?
Great video, enjoyed watching!

@@YonnyDigital more companies need to make compact cameras, they are just so much fun!
The 15-45 has 3 stops of OIS.
@@fredschmidt8609 OIS and IBIS aren't the same thing. OIS is stabilization on the lens, IBIS is sensor stabilization.
