According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, Fujifilm is working on a 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 5 Sensor. Although they do have a 26-megapixel stacked X-Trans sensor in their flagship Fuji X-H2S model, the upcoming sensor is non-stacked with excellent video core specification of 5th-generation design, being developed to be used in upcoming entry-level and mid-tier cameras with outstanding video performance.
take a look what source shared here –
Fujifilm may announce the X-Trans CMOS 5 image sensor for the next generation of mid-range video cameras (such as XS), which is basically an evolution of the speed and focus of the X-Trans CMOS 4.
The PDAF density reaches the X-Trans CMOS 5th generation standard, and the video reading speed reaches 12bit full pixel 60fps and 4K point-to-point 120fps. It can be considered as a non-stacked version of the 26M BSI stacked X-Trans 5 CMOS HS. It is more suitable for video shooting and continuous shooting than the X-Trans CMOS 5 HR.

According to the latest coming from the Fuji rumor mill, the Fuji X-Pro3 successor, which might be called the Fuji X-Pro 5 or the Fuji X-Pro 6 depending upon the time of its arrival and siblings’ name at that time, is delayed and one thing for sure no X-Pro 4 coming. Even the rumor mill is sure of one thing NO X-PRO series update will arrive in 2025, which is why it’s safe to say it may arrive in 2026.
So what’s the biggest reason that Fuji is continuously delaying the update of the Fuji X-Pro series camera? The marketing team has seen the sales numbers of the Fuji X-Pro3 camera, and due to the LOW VOLUME of purchases made compared to the previous two versions of the camera, the series has been delayed for further updates.
And what’s the biggest reason behind the low sales numbers of the X-Pro3? It was the display screen. They have created a unique kind of display screen, which was good for nothing, and if you want to see the actual display of the camera, you have to go through a very hard way. The display was not properly tilting in the backward direction of the camera, so it was kind of an entire design blunder. They were trying to make a kind of Leica M11 series or what we don’t know at this moment, but the existing user base of the X-Pro series camera was not that happy. Even at the time of the announcement, I have posted the comments I have received, and the feedback that I received at that moment mostly suggested that better to invest in the X-T series rather than getting this camera with this weird type of display.
Fuji must learn from their past mistakes. Whenever they want to announce the X-Pro series, it’s completely good; it depends upon their own marketing team’s decision and whatever future strategies they have—it’s all okay. But they should at least include a good fixed display screen in their camera, or even if they want to add a very handy tilting display, it’s most welcome. They should keep it as simple as possible for photographers.

Quick Analysis of Specification Differences between the two
The core specifications of the Fuji X-M5 camera look very impressive when compared with the Sony A6700 camera.
If you are a photographer, then of course you will miss the sensor-shift image stabilization in the Fuji X-M5, which is present in the Sony A6700.
Having image stabilization in your camera is really important if you shoot images in low-light environments. The image sensor compensates for hand movements even when you are using a slow shutter speed, resulting in neat and clean images.
Another feature that will help the Sony A6700 camera is the high ISO range, which is expandable from 50 up to 102400.
But wait, we still have some significant differences that might affect your choice. Another big difference for photographers to consider is the continuous shooting speed. If you don’t want any rolling shutter effect visible in your images, you have to use the mechanical shutter, as the electronic shutter can cause rolling shutter effects, especially with non-stacked sensors.
Autofocus Sensitivity and Tracking
Finally, let’s talk about the autofocusing systems of both cameras. We have seen the autofocus sensitivity difference between the two. If you compare them, the Fuji X-M5 camera looks very impressive with -7 EV autofocus sensitivity against the A6700 camera, which has -3 EV autofocus sensitivity. But this autofocus sensitivity only works once to acquire the autofocus point in extremely low-light situations.
Now, let’s consider a situation where quick moment-to-moment focus is needed. In this case, the Fuji X-M5 may focus more quickly compared to the A6700, due to its AF sensitivity. However, when we talk about autofocus tracking performance, due to the higher number of phase-detect autofocus points present in the Sony sensor—approximately 759 compared to Fuji’s 425—the tracking performance of the Sony A6700 sensor will be better than the X-M5.
So, we have two differences here. First, autofocus acquisition is better in the Fuji, but at the same time, the autofocus tracking performance is better in the Sony. Generally, most autofocus modes rely on the tracking performance of the camera, not on the acquisition part, so I would give a slight advantage to Sony in terms of tracking performance.
Design and Battery Life
Finally, let’s talk about the design part of both cameras. The Sony A6700 camera hand grip is deeper and much better compared to the Fuji X-M5. At the same time, we have a dedicated OLED viewfinder in the body of the Sony A6700 camera, which helps photographers who are used to using optical viewfinders from DSLRs. So, more or less, if we talk about ease of use and digital body design, the A6700 camera is more user-friendly.
At the same time, if we talk about battery backup, the Sony offers a bigger battery, resulting in more shots per charge—approximately 570+, whereas in Fuji, you are getting around 460. So yes, we do have some differences.
Conclusion: The best camera for photographer
should you go with the Fuji X-M5 or the Sony A6700? We get some extra features from inside to out with the Sony A6700 camera. Have a look:
The positive features of the Sony A6700 include the presence of a sensor-shift image stabilization system, which helps capture clear images in low-light environments. At the same time, the wide ISO range, starting from 50, is completely absent in the Fuji X-M5. Additionally, the A6700 offers a bigger battery life, which makes it a better option for professional photographers.
Not only that, but we also have a very large range of E-mount lenses from Sigma, Tamron, and many other brands. Although the Fuji X-mount is also open, it is not as big or broad as the E-mount at the moment, even though there are many options in X-mount.
Compared to the X-M5, we do see some advantages like autofocus sensitivity and continuous shooting speed. So, if you really want a camera with fast continuous shooting speed and don’t care much about the ISO range, image stabilization system, battery grip, or battery life, then the X-M5 might be a good option. However, for a photographer, we highly recommend the Sony A6700.

video core specifications
Let’s compare the video core specifications between the Fuji X-M5 and the Sony A6700 cameras.
We have an open gate option in the Fuji X-M5, which videographers will love, especially for professional filmmaking, allowing them to decide the format and ratio for an entire scene. It’s better to record in open gate. In addition, we have options like Full HD mode at 240 frames per second for capturing slow-motion videos.
However, if you compare the X-M5’s features against the Sony A6700, you will miss the higher-resolution open gate mode. But aside from that, the Sony A6700 offers 4K @ 120 frames per second and can also record Full HD videos at 240 frames per second. The bitrate is approximately 600 Mbps, which is better than the X-M5’s 400 Mbps, even though Fuji offers a 6.2K open gate recording option.
A higher bitrate means more color information, and this will definitely help Sony users a bit more. In addition, we have a dedicated AI chip in the Sony A6700, which enhances autofocus tracking performance in video mode, including AI-based auto framing.
The good news is that Fuji is also improving their autofocus modes in the new X-M5 camera. Similar to Sony, they have introduced a product feature mode in the X-M5, showing Fuji is slowly trying to compete with Sony’s features in the A6700 camera.
Aside from all these features, the Sony A6700 has a 2.36-million-dot electronic viewfinder, which may not directly help with filmmaking, but is still a useful feature. However, the biggest factor is the presence of a sensor-shift image stabilization system.
With sensor-shift image stabilization, we can use active mode in video on the Sony camera to achieve smooth and stable footage. Sony also offers a gyro-based image stabilization system, which can smooth out footage like a GoPro when processed with special software.
Conclusion – Best Camera for Video
When you compare all these features, the Sony A6700 looks more appealing. However, if you are a Filmmakers (Independent or Short Films) prefer the open-gate recording format, you can go with the Fuji X-M5. But if you’re asking which one is more usable and practical camera, for
- For Wedding Cinematographers
- For Traditional Videographers (Corporate, Documentaries):
- For Content Creators
The Sony A6700 is more usable, with its 4K 120 FPS mode, advanced autofocus tracking with a dedicated AI chip, and hybrid image stabilization, which is the better option. The Sony A6700 simply offers a more advanced set of features.
Final Recommendations:
- Fuji X-M5 is recommended for filmmakers who need open gate recording and prefer high-resolution control.
- Sony A6700 is a all-in-one all-rounder for content creators, wedding cinematographers, and traditional videographers, features advanced autofocus, 4K 120 FPS, and Excellent stabilization features.
