Verified Confidence: 87%

Verdict: The Fujifilm X100VI edges out the OM System OM‑5 for street photographers thanks to its higher‑resolution APS‑C sensor (DxOMark) and hybrid viewfinder that scores 9/10 for usability (DPReview). However, the OM‑5’s 5‑axis IBIS (up to 7 stops) and weather‑sealed body provide versatility for travel and interchangeable‑lens work (Imaging Resource). If you value a pocketable premium compact with classic controls, the X100VI is the clear winner; if you need lens flexibility and ruggedness, the OM‑5 is the better fit.

Winner: Fujifilm X100VI

Fujifilm X100VI: 8.2/10
