The Fujifilm X-M5 has been officially launched and is said to be capable of giving competition to the Sony ZV-E10 II that was announced earlier today. It offers a compact body with a weight of about 355 grams making it the lightest Fujifilm has ever produced in the X series. It is also a mirrorless camera equipped with a 26.1MP BSI CMOS X-Trans sensor with a matching X-Processor 5 imaging processor.
Through this sensor the camera can also record video up to 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit, as well as both 4K/60P and 1080/240P formats as other options. At the same time, it provides Vlog Mode with a 9:16 Short Movie Mode function that allows users to create vertical videos and continue sharing to various social media. Then the autofocus function (AF) with AI-based subject detection is also included to help maintain a sharp focus continuously.
A total of two rotary knobs are included with the left side loading 20 film simulation modes that can be easily switched. Meanwhile, the button on the right allows users to access various settings including Auto Mode. At the same time, it allows the camera to automatically recognize the photography mode that suits the current situation to record more high-quality images and videos.
The good match continues through the three built-in microphones for clearer audio, in addition to the ability to reduce various unwanted background noise with ease. For storage, there is a UHS-II SD card slot. Then a 3-inch LCD panel with 1.04 million dots is also included on the back that can be moved according to the user's needs. The selling price is $799.95 USD (~RM3,433) with availability starting next November.
