Fujifilm X-M5 Black
The 26.1MP BSI CMOS sensor delivers 6K video capture in a compact, unsealed body without in-body stabilization. Its fixed 3-inch display and lack of weather sealing position it as an affordable entry into Fujifilm's color science ecosystem. This camera is best for tripod-based videographers needing high-resolution footage on a strict budget, not for run-and-gun vloggers or handheld shooters.
