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, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.

X-M5 (2024)
- Content creators who want Fujifilm film simulations in their video work

X100F (2017)
- Street photographers who want a discreet, tactile camera with a fixed 35mm lens
