Choose by what matters to you
- The X-M5 if weight matters most, or you shoot action in bursts, or you want more shots per charge, or you film yourself or shoot from odd angles.
- The X-Pro3 if you want a viewfinder, or you want a backup card slot, or you shoot in rain or dust.
The lenses each one takes
Both take the same 68 lenses on the Fujifilm X mount, so a lens bought for one moves to the other. The X-M5 is usually sold with the Fujifilm XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.
