What reviewers say
Both praise image quality, the comfortable grip, video features and longer battery life, while noting the small viewfinder and absent weather sealing. Photography Blog considers its sensor and processor a useful balance for those needing less resolution than the X-T5. Amateur Photographer criticises subject-detection menus outside Auto mode and finds walking video insufficiently steady without extra stabilisation.
