Fujifilm X Series X-M5 Silver 2024
The 307g body packs a 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and 6K video with 10-bit Log, though lacks in-body stabilization. The tilt touchscreen and fast 117-point autofocus support flexible framing and consistent subject tracking. Best for streamers and product photographers seeking a lightweight, portable camera for controlled studio or indoor setups.
