GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Vloggers, Content Creators & Fujifilm Colour Fans — X-M5 (2024): Fujifilm's most affordable vlogging camera — film simulations in video, 6.2K, and a fully articulating screen at an accessible price.
Street, Documentary & Photographic Purists — M11-D (2024): A rangefinder with no screen — 60MP, manual focus, total presence. The most focused camera ever made.
