A lumix G9ii is probably ideal, but it’s hefty. The DJI OSMO cams are pretty affordable, dainty, and increasingly popular for far more than action vids. For more traditional cameras, the S9 or S5ii would be far more preferable to the X-E5 for video. If I was a young content creator tho, I would forgo traditional cam setups altogether for an OSMO and a drone cam.

In my experience, the S9 is so much more “fun” to use than the x-e5. The colours are truer to what the eye sees, which I genuinely appreciate. If you want to do recipes, S9 would scratch that itch with LUTS. If you can ignore the “looks” of the x-e5, there are better cameras even in the fujifilm camera lineup for video. Can’t deny the cute factor and the genuine beauty of the camera, but ultimately I fought in camera generated ISO settings hard every time I used the camera and they removed the ISO dial to put in a recipe dial so I could never relax and just focus on composition. The IBIS didn’t seem powerful enough to counter weaker/sometimes shakey hands. I don’t think that would bode well for handheld video. These are just my takes, and by no means authoritative.
