Fujifilm X-M5

But I mean, as we just talked about, these lenses are a lot cheaper than the professional Fuji stuff.

So I think it still kind of helps, especially for somebody that's getting like an XM5 or like one of the cheaper Fuji cameras.

So I think it helps for sure.

I mean, I don't know if this like breaks open the market or anything, but it sure doesn't hurt.

... film simulation dial on the X-T50 was kind of meh.

Same with the X-M5.

They both share the same dial.

Yeah, yeah.

The X-M5 has, I, I saw that.

But with the X-E5, you're able to now save profiles for each, each version, and I think that makes a huge difference for those that use it.

That's, that's amazing.

...

R8 Mark II, like, Fujifilm X-M5, uh, Panasonic LUMIX S9.

And when you start doing that, it gets really hard to pick the Nikon over it unless you just really, really like Nikon or really, really need an electronic shutter.

Yeah.

However, many photographers and videographers never use an electronic viewfinder, and for them, the Z5 IIc offers an outstanding value.

The success of the Fujifilm XM5 and Panasonic S9 proves there is a market for similar cameras with only an LCD panel.

If you are one of those users who don't need an electronic viewfinder, the price difference between the Z5 II is enough to buy a more premium standard lens or solid prime lens.

The other downgrades from the Z5 II are fairly minor and easy to work around.

You know, we've talked about this before.

When I played around with the Fujifilm XM5, that doesn't have an EVF.

And it's got a similar screen to this, which flips out and then rotates.

And I hate that inability to feel like I'm centered holding the camera because the screen's over here and the lens is here.
