The Fuji will shoot time lapse via the ‘interval shooting’ setting. To be perfectly honest if you’re after a photo-centric camera then I’d recommend the X-T50 or T30mk2. I’m not perfectly happy with the hunting of the autofocus system on the X-M5 for video. I have to shoot in manual Aperture AND shutter to stop it hunting in video. Something the Sony just doesn’t do. For video the Sony is still better. If you’re after straight out of camera jpegs and in camera conversations to other simulations then the Fuji is great. Fuji X mount lenses are MUCH more expensive than the Sony E mount. Depends what you have already though. I find the ZV-E10 easier to use and trust it more. Time will tell though. Ed
Thanks for that little exercise,much better to see how someone uses the device for a specific purpose(than the normal rundown of specs by early bird"reviewers".
I think you are right. This is a camera that was built on a lab bench next to a first gen ZV-E10 in the bowels of Fuji HQ. It's the same concept but executed better.
Thanks for doing this video. I agree the XT10 is excellent for street photography when I need an EVF and tilt screen. I also have an X70 and think about what "could" replace it. Considered an XM1 or XM5 to keep all my batteries the same but worry that I will miss the controls.
I’m warming to it only because it has 4 custom presets. I use them for std video/ slow mo/colour photo and monochrome photo. It’s a work around but it usable.
I regret tapping this video. Your channel is honest. I was on the fence to get XM5 or ZVE10 II. You have convinced me to get XM5. 😅 Need to ask you if XM5 has timelapse for video like zve10?
I really feel the sweet spot for me is the XT1 and XT10 with the xtrans2. For the photo experience anyway. I just want a Fuji that is easy and reliable for video. I’ll figure it out with trial and error. Ed
thanks for the first review. I have it on preorder and hopefully should have one by this weekend. i am still on the fence if this is the right one. as I am wondering which all dials can i assign for Iso and shutter speed. as i only shoot manual. have also ordered a 27mm 2.8 that will be the only lens i plan to use. this will an EDC camera for me. form factor is the only thing that made me order this
Not just as easy on this one as, say an X-T. If you have an ‘R’ lens then it has the aperture ring. In manual you have shutter on the top rear dial and ISO on the front roller so all good. 👍
The grip is terrible. I’ve an L mount with grip extension on the way. View finder is an issue for the true photographer but this is more a vlog camera for me with all of those gorgeous film simulations. It’s geared for those that never have used one, graduating on from a phone. Ed
Thank you for your response. Did you face any issue on the LCD screen while in the strong sunlight environment? If compare with xs20 which one would you prefer for traveling?
How's the battery life in normal mode and while doing the 6.2K OG? And what do you think about the grip and the photography on this camera? Do you think the XS20 would be a better overall camera as opposed to this camera? Thank you
Battery is in line with what you’d expect but can use USB and a power pack if needs be. I only carry one extra battery for the day. XS20 wins for IBIS alone but it’s much larger. I can work around lack of IBIS for the tiny form factor.
@MyContrails Thank you for your response. That's good to know. Do you think you miss the viewfinder in the XM5? I am thinking of getting either of these but am confused on which one I should get.
@@bimalkajishiwakotias a photographer an EVF is always missed. It also creates another point of contact to stabilise the shot. The X-T50 might be a better option. It’s still small enough.

Cant wait for mine 😍

Thank you. You need to buy a camera with a specific use in mind. Otherwise it’s just gear acquisition. 😂👍
@@MyContrails ha ha, gas is great!

Except that the autofocus on the Fuji still hunts a little. 👍

Yes it has an ‘interval timer’ shooting function.
@@MyContrails orait, thank you
I have the xt5 and the Canon R5 but I still use my xt1 the most ..

Great review. Any issue with overhearing ?
None that I could see. I did over 10 mins at 6.2k 30fps and had no issues.
Does it suffer from rolling shutter effect?
No more than any other I presume. I’ve not noticed any.
Perfect review! Does it too small to hold and a lack of viewfinder matter to you?

I don’t have an xs-20 to compare. You can boost the screen for sunshine but we’ve not had too much of that. Literally only had it 2 days so far. 😁
