Updated information we do not have confirmation that the Sony A1 Mk II camera is coming on NOV 19-20, take a look at the latest set of information we have
The camera we are expecting to Arrive from Sony
- Sony A7 V [Early 2025 with a 44.5Mp sensor as per rumors]
- Sony FX3 II
- Sony A7S IV [Sony next announcement after A1 Mark II]
- Sony ALpha A II [Confirmed for Sony Nov 19 announcement ]
According to the latest, Sony is about to announce a brand new camera at the end of November. By the way, we told you about the NOV announcement back on September 11; check this out. So everyone is curious about “what it will be?” What we truly expect from Sony right now, at this very moment, is the announcement of the Sony A7 IV successor, the Sony A7 V camera.
After the Nikon Z6 Mark III announcement, we are also concerned that Canon’s R6 Mark III, with the R3-stacked sensor, will surely come next year as per rumor mills. So, a new generation of Sony A7 IV competitors either arrived or is about to arrive, and among all of Sony’s full-frame cameras right now, the Sony A7 IV is the most outdated Alpha Camera. Still waiting to get a dedicated AI chip, which even Sony A6700 has inside it, that upscales the overall still and video AF performance of the camera.
Even if we follow Sony’s announcement pattern, the A7 IV camera was announced back in October 2021, and since then, Sony has updated almost all the models in its current lineup. So here’s a list of cameras that we expect may arrive from Sony at the end of November or December, or maybe sometime in 2025. But out of all these cameras, we personally think the A7 V is the most important, and Sony should release it as soon as possible.
Let me know in the coments which camera you’re most excited to see ?

Compare the Sony ZV-E10 II camera against the recently announced Fuji X-M5. We will be comparing the 10 major differences between the two. Not only that, but these are the differences we have sorted out to make it a bit easier to understand instead of putting all comparisons in front of you in a single table. So we have distributed them into 10 different types of tables, so let’s begin.
See more comparisons – Fuji X-M5 vs Sony A6700
1. Camera Design Comparison
| Feature |

| Body Material |
Plastic Body |
Magnesium Alloy |
In the first section, where we compare the camera design and all the details, you can see that the Fuji X-M5 is slightly smaller and a bit lighter than the Sony ZV-E10 II. The biggest advantage I see with the X-M5 is the weather-sealed design and a more durable body
2. Body Weight and Dimensions Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| Body Weight (with battery & media) |
377 g |
355 g |
| Dimensions (W x H x D) |

USB-C (Data) |
The next is the ports comparison. More or less, both have similar kinds of ports—micro HDMI input, headphone, and output port, so connectivity-wise both are quite similar to each other.
4. Camera Sensor Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| Sensor Size |
APS-C (23.3 x 15.5 mm) |
APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm) |
| Effective Resolution |
26 MP |
26.1 MP |
| Sensor Crop Factor |
1.5x |
1.5x |
Let’s compare the internal core specifications of the cameras. We have the 26 MP X-Trans sensor on the Fuji side, while the Sony has a 24 MP Bayer pattern BSI CMOS sensor. More or less, we will get similar image quality from both cameras.
No, neither of the cameras has any mechanical stabilization inside them for stills, so you have to be careful while using these cameras.
5. Autofocus Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| Autofocus Points (Photo) |
759 Phase Detection |
425 Phase Detection |
| Autofocus Sensitivity |
-3 to +20 EV |
-7 to +7 EV |
| Autofocus Modes |
Auto, Continuous, Single, Manual |
Continuous, Single, Manual |
The autofocus system of both cameras is super awesome. Still, again, since Sony and Canon are leading in autofocus tracking, as well as if you compare the number of phase-detect autofocus points, the Sony ZV-E10 II has 759 AF points, while the X-M5 remains limited to 425. So, more or less, the tracking performance coming straight out of the Sony camera will be more usable and reliable compared to the Fuji X-M5.
6. Image Stabilization Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| Image Stabilization (Photo) |
No |
No |
| Image Stabilization (Video) |
Digital, Active IS, Gyro |
Digital IS |
On the other side, we have better autofocus sensitivity in the Fuji X-M5, which means the ability to lock focus in backlit situations is better with the X-M5. But again, AF sensitivity doesn’t help much with tracking performance. So both are completely different in terms of tracking and sensitivity. Generally, we rely more on tracking performance rather than sensitivity.
7. Continuous Shooting Speed Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| Max Continuous Shooting |
11 fps (Photo) |
30 fps (Photo with electronic shutter) |
| Max Frames in Burst |
59 (RAW) / 1000 (JPEG) |
23 (RAW) / 128 (JPEG) |
The X-M5 offers 30 fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter but with some crop. If I select the uncropped mode, the speed drops to 20 fps, which is still better than the Sony ZV-E10 II’s 11 fps continuous shooting mode.
8. Video Resolution Comparison
| Feature |
Sony ZV-E10 II |
Fuji X-M5 |
| 4K Video |
3840 x 2160 at 60 fps |
6240 x 4160 at 30 fps |
| Full HD Video |
1920 x 1080 at 120 fps |
1920 x 1080 at 240 fps |
| Video Bit Depth |
10-Bit |
10-Bit |
Before you come to a decision that you are going to buy a camera with 6.2K resolution, you must first look towards your own personal requirements. If your personal requirements fulfill with 4K recording up to 60 frames per second, then without a doubt, a camera with more than 60fps mode is enough for you. But if you are a short filmmaker or someone who likes to get an open gate video in F-Log2 mode and then later on edit in your editing software, then you should buy the Fuji X-M5 camera. Otherwise, if you are a YouTube content creator or create Instagram Reels, then there is no need to buy a camera with 6K open gate recording.
To be very clear, the Fuji X-M5 does not have the same autofocus tracking performance as the Sony ZV-E10 II.
9. Codecs and Bitrates Comparison

| Recording Limit |
No Limit |
50 Minutes (4K) (Unlimited in 4k LP low Quality) |
Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera, despite the fact that the camera doesn’t have a 6.2K open gate recording, gives you a bitrate option of 600 Mbps, whereas a Fuji X-M5 camera with 6.2K open gate recording limits the bitrate to 200 Mbps. So there is a very simple math calculation: more bitrate means more color coming into your footage.
Another big noticeable difference before we jump to the limitations we have to face with each of the cameras is that the Fuji X-M5 in 4K has a recording limit of 50 minutes. Now, the 50-minute recording can only be extended when you are using an LP mode in 4K, which degrades the quality of 4K recording, but it allows you to record for more than an hour. So you have to decide that if you are into podcasting, then select your camera wisely.

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.
