Tried the X-M5 as a beginner, now I’m thinking about getting the X-E5?
I’m a complete beginner interested in getting into photography.
So I hired the Fujifilm X-M5 with the 15-45mm kit lens for 48hrs to try it out. I found it challenging but really enjoyed learning how to use it. The attached photos are my favourite shots from the weekend.
The X-M5 was fun to use, but I did find the lack of a EVF annoying - the screen was hard to see in daylight and I think I would enjoy using a viewfinder.
I regretfully didn’t try shooting much video, but I enjoy editing together holiday videos I shoot on my iPhone, so I’d like to own a camera that can shoot good video too.
I’m thinking about getting the X-E5 with the 23mm f2.8 kit lens bundle, and have the option to potentially buy other lens in the future as I grow. I’m also considering the XT30 iii, just because it’s a bit cheaper (wow this is an expensive hobby!). I’ve not experienced IBIS, so not sure how important that is to me, but I do care about image quality.
Any advice you‘d give me as someone just starting out and unsure what to buy?
