SpecificationFujifilm X-M5Sony ZV-E10 II
Release year20242024
Sensor23.5 × 15.6 mm (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS 4; 26.1 MP; ultrasonic sensor cleaning

X-Trans uses an irregular colour filter instead of the usual Bayer pattern; according to Fujifilm this reduces moiré without an optical low-pass filter.

Fujifilm		APS-C (23.3 × 15.5 mm) Exmor R CMOS; about 26.0 MP effective (stills)

Effective resolution for movies is about 19.9 MP; the APS-C sensor brings roughly a 1.5× crop factor versus full frame.

Sony
Processor and filesX-Processor 5; 14-bit RAW (RAF), JPEG, HEIF 4:2:2 10-bit

HEIF stores more tonal information than JPEG in a smaller file; not all software can open it.

SensitivityISO 160–12800 (extended 80–51200) Fujifilm—
Shutter and burstMechanical shutter to 1/4000 s, electronic to 1/32000 s; about 30 fps with electronic shutter (1.25x crop), about 8 fps with mechanical shutter

The electronic shutter is silent but can skew fast-moving subjects (rolling shutter).

Fujifilm		Electronic shutter only; 1/8000–30 s; up to 11 fps

With no mechanical shutter, flash sync is limited to 1/30 s and fast-moving subjects can distort.

Sony
Autofocus and stabilisationSubject detection (animal, bird, automobile, motorcycle and bike, airplane, train); digital image stabilisation in movie mode only

There is no in-body sensor-shift stabilisation; stills need an OIS lens for stabilisation.

Fujifilm		—
ScreenTouch LCD, approx. 1.04 million dots, 3:2

The camera has no electronic viewfinder; you shoot using the screen.

Fujifilm		—
VideoUp to 6.2K 3:2 at 30p; DCI4K/4K up to 60p; Full HD 240p high-speed recording; H.265 4:2:2 10-bit, up to 200 Mbit/s; Vlog mode; 20 film simulations

6.2K 3:2 open-gate recording uses the full sensor height, so vertical and horizontal video can be cropped from one shot.

ConnectivityWi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n; Bluetooth 5.2 (low energy); USB-C 10 Gbit/s; micro HDMI (Type D); 3.5 mm microphone and headphone jacks; hot shoe (TTL flash compatible) FujifilmUSB-C (5 Gbps, USB 3.2), micro HDMI (4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output), Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2

Over USB-C the camera can also be used as a webcam or live-streaming source.

Sony
Card and batterySingle SD slot (UHS-I); NP-W126S lithium-ion battery, about 330 frames (440 in Economy mode)

Frame counts follow the CIPA standard. Fujifilm gives about 45 minutes of actual recording time for 6.2K video.

Size and weight111.9 × 66.6 × 38.0 mm; approx. 355 g (with battery and card), 307 g (body only) Fujifilm114.8 × 67.5 × 54.2 mm; about 292 g (body) Sony
Operating environment0–40 °C; cooling fan connector cover

The cover is for attaching a separately sold cooling fan to reduce heat during long video recording.

Processor—BIONZ XR Sony
ISO—Stills ISO 100–32000 (expanded 50–102400); movies ISO 100–32000 Sony
Autofocus—Fast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 495 for movies; human, animal and bird recognition

Phase detection quickly works out which way to shift focus; eye and subject tracking can be used for video.

Sony
4K video—4K up to 59.94p; XAVC HS/S 4:2:2 10-bit 200 Mbps, XAVC S-I 4:2:2 10-bit 600 Mbps

Sony says 4K is oversampled from 5.6K. 10-bit 4:2:2 reduces banding when grading; high bit rates such as S-I may need a fast (V90-class) card.

Sony
Full HD video—Up to 119.88p (4:2:0 8-bit) Sony
Colour profiles—S-Log3, S-Cinetone (Cinematic Vlog Setting), user LUT import

S-Log3 records wide dynamic range as a flat image that needs grading; S-Cinetone gives a cinematic look without grading.

Sony
Stabilisation—Lens-based optical stabilisation; electronic Active mode for movies

There is no in-body stabilisation. Active mode reduces shake by cropping the image.

Sony
Screen and viewfinder—3.0-inch touch LCD, about 1.04 million dots; side-opening and rotating; no viewfinder Sony
Audio—Built-in three-capsule stereo microphone; 3.5 mm mic and headphone jacks; Multi Interface Shoe with digital audio interface

With the Multi Interface Shoe, compatible Sony microphones send audio digitally to the camera without a cable.
