The verdict
The $800 price gap separates the Canon EOS R6 V, a full-frame video option without a built-in viewfinder, from the Fujifilm X-T5, a higher-resolution APS-C camera with a dedicated OLED EVF.
Choose the Canon EOS R6 V if you are a videographer requiring internal 7K RAW recording and 4K at 120fps. This model also offers faster performance for action with an electronic burst rate of 40fps.
Choose the Fujifilm X-T5 if you prioritize still photography and portability, benefiting from a 40.2-megapixel sensor. At 557g, it provides a lighter weather-sealed body with a 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder for eye-level framing.
