Hi,
maybe some of you have heard alraedy the rumor of a new Fujifilm camera. It shall be announced on October 14th and will be called "XM5". It seems a successor of the XM1, which was available only for around one year. According to the rumors the XM5 seems be exactly the same as the Lumix S9, but with an APS-C sensor. No EVF, 26MP, interchangable lenses (X-Mount obviously). Target group seems to be "creators". Price level around 1.000€.
I am really curious, how this Fuji XM5 will be discussed in social media. Fuji has no small lenses anymore. The very old 18/2.0 is not really a good lens for 26MP. So they have the same problem like Panasonic. Small bodies without small lenses.
At least we know now, that other brands have the same thinking as Panasonic. There is a market for this target group and for this kind of "no EVF body". Similar to Panasonic, maybe even more, although Fuji is a photography focused brand, they want to gain a piece of that "creators cake" too.
It is a shame how the S9 was bashed by some youtubers. Watch and see how the same youtubers will suddenly rave about the "Lumix S9 copy" of Fuji.
