Help me! XE5 vs XM5

Buying Advice

Hi everyone! I'm an amateur photographer and videographer looking for a compact but powerful camera. I shoot mostly for pleasure, so I don't need a massive professional rig, but I've narrowed my choices down to the Fujifilm X-M5 and X-E5.

I'm really torn:

  • X-M5: The fully articulating screen is a huge plus, but the lack of an EVF is almost a dealbreaker for me. It also lacks IBIS and has lower megapixels compared to the X-E5.
  • X-E5: It checks the boxes with a proper viewfinder for framing, higher resolution for cropping, and internal stabilization (IBIS), alongside great video features. But I do not like the limited flippable screen and the price (I have to money to buy it but I'd rather not waste those money)

What would you suggest?
