Fujifilm X-M5: Good Bye Pop-Up Flash, More Dials, Joystick, Front Command Dial, X-Trans IV, X-Processor 5 and More

Some asked me what’s new on the Fujifilm X-M5 compared to the X-M1 or any other X-A camera for that matter.

Well, besides the stuff inside (of course the 26 MP X-Trans IV sensor and the X Processor 5), there have been some changes also on the body.

So here is the Fujifilm X-M5:

• it has a front command dial (but no rear command dial) as we can see here
• it has a joystick
• the pop-up flash is gone
• the lack of pop-up flash makes space for an additional dial
• 3 dials in total:
  – on the left side, instead of pop-up flash, there is the film simulation dial
  – on the right side we have a PSAM dial and an unmarked dial
• the X-M5 has no D-Pad (the X-M1 still had one)

So that’s the main changes.
