Classic Presentation, Modern Performance. As with many of Fuji’s X-mount cameras, the X-E5 sports a retro build and is equipped with Fuji’s exclusive film simulations. What makes the X-E5 stand apart from the rest is its top-plate that is machined from a single piece of aluminum – a first for Fuji. This distinct feature improves the operability of the dials as well as provides a satisfyingly rigid feel reminiscent of older rangefinders.

Delight in the Details. The X-E5 is all about refinement. On the top plate is a little circular window that displays your chosen film filter. Also inspired by old cameras is a new Classic Display mode, which shows only exposure information along the bottom of the EVF screen for an analog-style experience that’s free of distractions. The viewfinder and diopter controls are flush with the body and there is a dedicated Bluetooth button where traditionally a film rewind button would be.

Pro Features for Everyday Shooting. Portable, stylish, and full of creative options, the Fuji X-E5 might seem like a hobbyist camera but it’s packed with professional features. It offers a 40.2MP APS-C sensor that’s large enough to benefit the built-in 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. The upgraded processor allows for 6.2K recording and autofocusing algorithms that can detect a wider range of subjects. Despite its size, the X-E5 manages to include in-body image stabilization with an upgraded gyro sensor for up to 7 stops of shake compensation.

Try it with These X-Mount Lenses. The all-occassions XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR is always a great choice when you can only carry one lens but need to cover the most ground. For portraits and street photography, the XF 35mm f/2 R WR really shines for its fast f/2 max aperture, high-quality optical design, ultra-fast autofocus, and 14-inch minimum focusing distance.
