Our Verdict

Fujifilm X100V

Fujifilm X-M5

The Fujifilm X100V and the Fujifilm X-M5 may share the same sensor, but they're different types of cameras in different generations in Fujifilm's lineup. The X-M5 has a newer processor, so its autofocus is more effective overall, and it has better video features. However, the X100V has an optical/electronic viewfinder and a fixed prime lens that offer a unique shooting experience and make it better for those who want a premium point-and-shoot.
