4 years of Swiss warranty. The X-M5 is suitable for both beginners and advanced photography enthusiasts. Its high-quality, classic design is typical of the X series. The new camera weighs only 355 grams, making it the lightest model in the X series. It offers advanced features such as AI-assisted autofocus for detecting dynamic objects like animals and cars, as well as video recording in 6.2K/30p quality and 4:2:2 10-bit color depth. Equipped with the 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and the fast X-Processor 5, it delivers excellent image quality. A dial on the top allows for quick switching between different digital film simulations to give photos and videos a popular analog look. A digital image stabilizer and powerful microphones ensure high-quality video recordings. The new 9:16 short film mode makes it easier to capture vertical videos in vlog mode.

The X-M5 is a brilliant mini-format mirrorless camera, particularly for video enthusiasts. It delivers high image quality and features fast, accurate autofocus. It is easy to use. As is typical of video-oriented models, the X-M5 does not have a built-in viewfinder or flash. If you opt for the X-M5, it’s best to use smaller lenses; with larger ones, it becomes a bit top-heavy.
Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros. In the days of DSLRs, the choice in this price range was much greater...
The X-M5 is the manufacturer's smallest system camera and is fully designed for video. It delivers high image quality and comes with many additional functions, such as recording in 4K at 60 frames per second or in portrait format 9:16 suitable for Instagram & Co. The autofocus is faster and more precise than its equally expensive sister model, the X-T30 II, but the X-M5 lacks a viewfinder and pop-up flash.

However, the lightweight camera leaves a lot to be desired in terms of features and handling: if you have rather large hands or would like an electronic viewfinder, you might...
If you can do without the viewfinder, the X-M5 is a small system camera with great AI autofocus and high image quality at a moderate price. Viewfinder fans will find what they are looking for in the Sony Alpha 6600, which is just over 1000 euros and comes with an image stabiliser...
