Pros

  • Another choice I'd recommend is something like an xt3/xh1 or xt4 from fujifilm. The xm5 or xs20 might be good too. At least 4k 10 10bit h265.
  • There's similar options from other brands too, something like the R50, z30, xm5, etc.
  • Parent context: Wait the XM6 isn't even out yet lol, you mean the XM5? Those are solid though, been using mine for like a year now and they're pretty great for blocking out street noise Reply: Wait the XM6 isn't even out yet lol, you mea...
  • The other day, I was in a event and got my hands on a fujifilm XM5 , It had a small lens, and I loved it, seemed portable, changing lenses gives you room to grow if you want to, and immediately I started looking for a new camera.
  • The XM5 undoubtedly is one of the most feature rich entry level cameras— especially for video.

Cons

  • The XM5 undoubtedly is one of the most feature rich entry level cameras— especially for video. However, there are a few issues for me that keep me from snagging one at this point when the price is still relatively high. 1- no viewfinder...
  • Parent context: I've moved from overear to the AirPods Pro 3 (from 2 etc) full time. They really are amazing, smoke my XM5 and Bose QC Ultra overears. Reply: They really are amazing, smoke my XM5 and Bose QC Ultra overears.
  • in terms of image quality, i dont find the xm5 sample images as pleasing as say the ricoh.
  • Fujifilm xm5. Great videos no ibis but has electronic stabilisation, no evf, and no weather sealing were the cons for me. You’ll have to do more editing than iPhone with a camera, but not so much with fujifilm. But it sounds like a good...

The XM5 undoubtedly is one of the most feature rich entry level cameras— especially for video. However, there are a few issues for me that keep me from snagging one at this point when the price is still relatively high. 1- no viewfinder whatsoever. 2- no ibis; my hands shake and I need either a 4+kg camera package or ibis to shoot handheld. 3- it’s a PASM-style camera which eliminates a lot of what I enjoy about my fujis.

you can literally get 6k open gate 10 bit with like 12 stops of usable dr from a 800$ fuji xm5, ofc not as good as high end cameras but insane for the price.
