Summary

  • The X-E5 is a new retro-styled mirrorless camera from Fujifilm, featuring a 40-megapixel sensor, new control lever on its front, a classic EVF mode with old-school frame lines, and a selection of film simulations.
  • The camera features cleaner, bolder lines and a more pronounced, contoured grip than other Fujifilm cameras, while the new 23mm f/2.8 lens matches the X100’s focal length.
  • The camera’s dedicated film simulation dial and viewing window on the top plate are reminiscent of vintage cameras, while the Classic Display Mode for its electronic viewfinder offers a vintage interface.
  • The X-E5 is slightly larger and heavier than the X-E4, weighing 445 grams, with space for in-body image stabilisation.
  • It will be available in August for 1,899.95, with the lens also available separately in late 2025 for $499.95.
