Fujifilm X-M5 XC15-45mm Kit review

Fujifilm’s lightest X-series body, with a 26.1 MP X-Trans sensor and 6.2K video, sold as a kit with the XC15-45mm zoom. This listing ships from Amazon Germany at about $947.

Small and light

Fujifilm says the X-M5 weighs 355 grams, making it the lightest body in its X series. It uses the same 26.1 MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 5 as larger models.

Strong video for its size

It records 6.2K at 30p with 4:2:2 10-bit color, and its autofocus detects animals and cars as well as people.

The kit lens

The XC15-45mm is a small, light zoom that matches the body. Its aperture starts at f/3.5, so dim rooms push the ISO up.

An import

This listing ships from Amazon Germany at about $947, with one unit left. Warranty coverage for an import can differ from a US unit. Compare it with the Sony a6700 and Canon R50 on this shelf, both sold as US models.
