“Fujifilm X-E5“teethfujifilmLike other cameras made by the company, this model was extremely difficult to obtain when it was first released. Popular “Fujifilm X100VIIntroduced as an interchangeable lens compatible machine based on “. Its performance does not disappoint and is well realized.
If you like the cute and compact design of the X100VI, but also enjoy changing lenses, this camera is ideal for you. Like other models equipped with the same sensor, it is very impressive and has a rich and delicate contrast expression.
Despite a fair few design complaints, overall the X-E5 is the camera that fans of the XE series have been waiting for for years. The X-E5 is equipped with a function called “Film Simulation,” which is a mode that gives digitally shot photos the flavor and contrast of being taken with old film. Even without the film simulation dial, you won’t have any trouble expressing your photos and can enjoy them to the fullest.

The XE series was once considered Fujifilm’s most minimalist rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.X-ProThere was a desire to create a “smaller, lighter, and lower-priced alternative model to the series.”
However, with this fifth generation XE, that premise is no longer valid. Today, the X-E5 is a symbol of Fujifilm rangefinder style design, and can no longer be called minimalist in terms of functionality, size, and weight.
Technically speaking, the X-E5 is the sixth camera in the XE series. In other words, “X-E2” and “X-E3”.X-E2SBut let’s not worry about such details. Either way, the X-E5 is called the “fifth generation XE,” and while it’s the best XE to date, it’s also a slightly disappointing camera.
Let’s talk about the good points. The combination of the APS-C size “X-Trans CMOS 5 HR” sensor with 40 million wins and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5” has produced truly wonderful photos.X-T5“or”X100VIAs we have already seen in “, the result is such that you won’t miss the full-frame camera.
Another point worth mentioning about the X-E5 is its in-body image stabilization (IBIS). It also feels like a funeral bell.) Fujifilm claims that it has a correction effect of up to 7 stops, and I felt that was true in actual use.
