Fujifilm Unveils X-E5 Mirrorless Camera with 40.2MP Sensor, Launch Set for August 2025
June 12, 2025
The X-E5 is priced at $1,699 in the US and £1,299 in the UK, which is double the cost of its predecessor, the X-E4.
This model introduces a rangefinder-style design, allowing for one-handed operation while using the viewfinder, enhancing portability and ease of use.
Compatible with over 40 existing X-mount lenses, the X-E5 caters to both novice and experienced photographers seeking versatility.
Fujifilm has officially launched the X-E5 mirrorless digital camera, featuring a 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, with availability set for August 2025.
Advanced subject detection autofocus using deep learning technology enables the camera to recognize various subjects, including animals and vehicles.
Unlike the fixed lens of the X100VI, the X-E5 supports interchangeable X-Mount lenses, providing greater flexibility for photographers.
A customizable Film Simulation dial allows users to save up to three custom settings alongside popular presets, marking a significant upgrade from the X-E4.
The X-E5 features a 3.0-inch, 1.04-million-dot tilt-type rear LCD monitor that can rotate 180 degrees, making it ideal for selfies and vlogging.
The camera's top plate is crafted from precision-machined aluminum, enhancing durability and providing a premium feel during use.
Preorders for the X-E5 and its new XF23mm f/2.8 R WR pancake lens are available at major retailers, including options in black and silver.
The camera incorporates in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for the first time in its series, offering up to 7.0 stops of stabilization in the center.
The latest autofocus prediction algorithm enhances tracking performance for moving subjects, improving precision in low-contrast environments.
