X-M5 + XC15-45mm Kit Black

I found this camera best priced on Amazon with the 15-45 kit lens. I have always been a Fujifilm fan, but this is the best combination I have found for compactness, ease of use, interchangeable lens with the image quality of all the X100 series - i have had them all. It is a small camera. I changed the lens out for the XF 16-50 which is a more robust and user friendly lens which gives superb results with this camera. You cannot fail to produce good images - it is such a great little bit of kit. I do miss the eye piece, and looking at the screen to take images wouldn't look great at a wedding as a pro - but this camera isn't aimed at that market. It does what it is supposed to very competently. Battery lasts for the intended 300 shots, write speed is lightning fast, and the wifi transfer of images to the app on Android is a doddle and works much better than any of the other Fujifilm models I have had. The camera is weather sealed so has the reassurance of durability under most conditions.

Pros: - Amazing film simulations and community to share film recipes. - Best in class APS-C sensor. Coming from full frame Canon cameras there really isn’t a noticeable difference. - Compact design is genuinely impressive. - Very fast and reliable autofocus. Fujifilm have come a long way. - Huge range of relatively cheap third party lenses to explore. - Feels premium in build quality and is a very nice design. Cons: - Doesn’t come with a battery charger pack. You’re expected to use your own USB-C to charge directly into the camera. It’s a bit rich not to include it with a £850 camera, but you can buy these chargers for cheap. - Not enough hand grip. Even with small hands it’s not the most comfortable camera to hold. But again, this is no issue if you buy a third party hand grip. - Clunky menus. It’s just not up to par with Canon or Sony’s menus which feel easy to understand. It’s a learning curve for sure, but will be fine with time.

Coming from my iphone 15 pro max, i was very impressed with the quality. This is my first stand alone camera, I have read reviews complaining about EVF and in body stabilization, these factors don't bother me. The lens that came with the camera rages 15-45mm focus and its great. I took this camera with me to Geneva and had some great photos. One gripe i have though is that 4 custom film simulations are not enough. If you are looking for a good fujifilm camera thats light weight, compact and wont break the bank then look no further! perfect for a portable camera

I have owned Fuji XE2, XM1, X70, XF10 and XT20. I especially liked the X70 and XT20 but this camera is on par with them. Small enough it fits in my coat or fleece top and the image quality is amazing. With the vast amount of options to improve photos and videos it is a step above my previous Fujis. Auto focus is quicker then any previous and more then enough. Very happy with this purchase.

I like how compact it u just need to get used to it . Love the camera

This is my first Fujifilm camera, I've otherwise got a collection of Canon cameras, and I'm endlessly conflicted about this camera. I like it, but I don't know if it's worth it for me and I always feel on the fence about it. It's a nice camera for sure, but I'm not sure it's any better than my Canon M50II. I like having the filters, but it's the kind of thing that can be added to a photo easily in post and I find I spend far too much time fussing over whether I'm using the right filter for the environment instead of just taking the shot and carrying on with my day. The filters were the main selling point for me to be honest, and on reflection I'm just not sure it's worth shelling out that kind of money for. Lightroom is far cheaper.
