What reviewers say

Both praise detailed images, stabilisation, compact handling and the film simulation dial. Both find the tilting screen less suitable for self-recording and note the absent weather sealing. Photography Blog considers its reduced battery life, viewfinder and single card slot compromises against the X-T5. Amateur Photographer finds the separate subject-detection menus cumbersome outside Auto mode.
