Fujifilm X-M5 Silver with XC 35mm f/2 Lens

For ambitious creators eager to ditch the smartphone and elevate their content, Fujifilm offers the black X-M5 Mirrorless Camera, whose slight footprint is complemented by a powerful, APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor, an audio and video-friendly interface, and an interchangeable lens mount accepting the entirety of Fujifilm's X-mount lens family. Throw in 20 of their acclaimed film simulation recipes, their latest in AI-driven subject detection autofocus, and the company's timeless, retro-inspired design, and the X-M5 is poised to transform the way you create.

Bigger Sensor, Better Image

The first X-M camera in more than a decade, the X-M5 boasts the same 26.1 MP X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor as its viral cousin, the X100V, and the same X-Processor 5 as the X100VI. More than 16 times the size of an average smartphone sensor, the X-Trans 4's superior light-gathering abilities mean richer colours, more detail, and better low-light performance. The sensor's design features a randomised pixel array that mimics the organic nature of film, producing nuanced colours and transitions while reducing digital artifacts. The larger, APS-C sensor creates a shallower depth of field, unlocking deeper background blur and subject separation.

Optimised Audio, 6K Video

The X-M5 was designed to address the full spectrum of contemporary content creation, excelling in both audio and video capture. The camera has three built-in microphones and four sound capture modes - Surround, Front Priority, Back Priority, and Front & Back Priority - to optimise sound-gathering for specific situations. A 3.5mm microphone socket allows further control over the soundscape, while new in-camera algorithms enable both voice enhancement and environmental noise reduction. Capable of delivering open-gate, 6.2K video at up to 29.97 fps, the X-M5 can deploy every pixel on the 3:2 native aspect ratio sensor toward high-quality video. The camera combines this elevated image quality with several self-tape-oriented features, most of which are easily accessible in the camera's Vlog mode. Additionally, a prominent red outline appears around the screen when the camera is recording. The X-M5 further augments the video recording experience with the X-Processor 5's AI-assisted autofocus, which includes eye-tracking and subject recognition. Two Log modes for colour grading simplify the post-production process, and the camera's variety of video sizes and frame rates includes slow-motion video at 60 fps in 4K and up to 240 fps in Full HD.

Film Simulations and Colour Science

Renowned for its colour science, Fujifilm has outfitted the X-M5 with 20 Film Simulation modes to reproduce the look and feel of several of the company's storied film types. The camera's true-to-life results can be interpreted with these film simulations, eight of which are accessible on one of the camera's top dials. The modes can simplify workflows by producing edited material straight out of the camera. In addition to simulating specific film types, a Grain Effect mode is also available to replicate the look of old film photos with an organic textured appearance. Colour Chrome and Colour Chrome Blue effects are also available to deepen colour, tonal response, and gradation with higher saturation colours.

Design and Build

The X-M5 is the smallest and lightest X-series body, weighing 12.5 oz without a lens and spanning 4.4" wide. Keeping with the Fujifilm aesthetic and X-series design philosophy, the black rangefinder-style body comes with a series of top dials to set mode, film simulation, and adjust settings. The interchangeable lens mount accepts any of the more than 35 X-series lenses, with the option to connect other lenses with an appropriate, optional adapter. The camera features a 3" articulating LCD touchscreen optimised for self-taping. Anticipating the needs of creators, Fujifilm has shifted the locations of connector ports to the right side of the camera, eliminating wires interference with the monitor. The microphone port has also been moved from the side of the camera to the rear to further accommodate content creation accessories.

Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for wirelessly sharing images to a mobile device or to use the device to remotely control the camera. Frame.io Camera to Cloud integration allows delivery of photos or video straight to the cloud moments after they're created. Single SD memory card slot supports up to the UHS-I standard. Included NP-W126S battery provides up to approximately 45 minutes of continuous 6K capture or up to 440 images in Economy mode.

Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2 Lens

An especially sleek and lightweight prime, the Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2 is a 53mm-equivalent lens offering a natural, normal-length field of view with an especially portable design. The lens incorporates a pair of aspherical elements to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve high sharpness and accurate rendering. A stepping motor autofocus system promotes quick, quiet, and accurate focusing performance and the rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes a pleasing bokeh. This simple feature-set fits perfectly with the lens's petite design that makes it an ideal every day, walkaround lens.

Prime normal-length lens is designed for APS-C-format Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 53mm equivalent focal length. Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field. Two aspherical elements limit distortion and spherical aberration in order to realise greater sharpness and accurate rendering. Stepping motor autofocus system is fast, near-silent, and precise, making it suitable for both stills and video applications. It also uses an internal focusing design to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote quicker focusing response. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
