Fujifilm's compact vlogging-focused APS-C mirrorless with 26.1MP X-Trans V sensor and 6.2K video.
The Fujifilm X-M5 was released in October 2024 as a vlogging-oriented compact mirrorless for Fujifilm X-mount, featuring a 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with X-Processor 5 in the lightest X-series body at 355g. 6.2K open-gate video at up to 30fps; 4K up to 60fps with 4:2:2 10-bit recording. No in-body stabilisation — digital IS only. A fully articulating LCD supports front-facing vlog framing. Dedicated film simulation dial.
The 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor pairs with X-Processor 5. 6.2K/30fps open-gate and 4K/60fps video; 4:2:2 10-bit. No IBIS — digital IS applies crop in video mode. NP-W126S battery. Body weight 355g with battery and card — lightest current X-series body. Fully articulating LCD supports 180° front-facing. Film simulation dial. Single SD card slot.
The X-M5 follows no prior X-M2 through X-M4 — Fujifilm skipped from the 2013 X-M1 directly to the X-M5, with '5' indicating the fifth-generation body platform rather than five consecutive M-series bodies. The sensor is X-Trans CMOS 4 (the same generation as the X-T4 and X-E4) paired with the newer X-Processor 5, enabling the 6.2K open-gate video capability. At 355g it is the practical compact companion or vlog camera across the Fujifilm X lineup.
On the used market the Fujifilm X-M5 is an October 2024 product with very limited used availability. Condition checks: NP-W126S battery health (shared with X-T3, X-T4, X-Pro2/3, X-E3/4), articulating LCD hinge, and single SD slot. No IBIS. Compatible with all Fujifilm X-mount lenses.
