Exciting news for Fujifilm enthusiasts as the highly anticipated Fujifilm X-M5 has been officially registered overseas, signaling that its announcement is just around the corner, likely in October 2024. This new addition to Fujifilm’s popular X-series is expected to bring several improvements and further solidify the brand’s position in the mirrorless APS-C market.
The Fujifilm X-M5 is rumored to feature an upgraded 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, which promises improved image quality, better dynamic range, and enhanced low-light performance. Another standout feature is the potential inclusion of the X-Processor 5, which should bring faster processing speeds and improved autofocus performance.
The X-M5 is also expected to offer significant upgrades in video capabilities, possibly supporting 4K/60p video recording and 120fps 4k with cropping for higher-quality footage. Another rumor hints at improved in-body image stabilization (IBIS), with up to 7 stops of stabilization. This would greatly benefit handheld shooting, especially in low-light situations or when using longer focal lengths. Paired with Fujifilm’s growing lineup of XF lenses, the X-M5 could be a versatile tool for both stills and video.
