The M5 was brought out 4 years before the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon M5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a brief summary of how the M5 scores vs the Fujifilm X-Pro3 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M5 and Fujifilm X-Pro3.

Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to result in greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older M5 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
