Description

The Fujifilm X-E5 Black + 23mm f/2.8 is a compact camera for discrete street photography. You receive a 23mm prime lens that's suitable for landscape and street photography, among other things.

You can see a lot of detail in your photos this way and you can print them in high quality, for example. Videographers can record in 6.2K resolution with this camera. You can cut these images into sharp 4K footage without quality loss. Thanks to the built-in image stabilization (IBIS), you can record smooth handheld video images.

User-friendly camera with extensive options

Small and light camera
Sharp photos with lots of details
Built-in image stabilization reduces motion blur
Not really an ergonomic grip

I find the Fujifilm X-E5 an ideal camera for street and travel photography, especially when combined with the small 23mm lens. The camera blends seamlessly into my street photography. Due to its compact design, I do miss an ergonomic grip.

High image quality in a compact package When I hold the camera, it immediately feels light and small. I don't feel like I'm holding a system camera. The camera fits easily in my bag. I find this convenient because I like to take my camera with me, for example, on city breaks. I'm testing the X-E5 with the 23mm f/2.8 lens. This lens is also very small, making me less conspicuous when taking street photos. One drawback is the lens's lack of zoom. If I want to adjust my frame, I have to move myself. However, this isn't possible in every location. For example, I don't photograph wildlife in nature. I find the photos I do take very sharp. The camera has a large 40-megapixel APS-C sensor, which allows me to take detailed photos. When I crop my photos in post-processing, I lose very little quality. Perfect for my social media or photo albums.

Built-in Image Stabilization I effortlessly capture sharp images with the X-E5. This is thanks to the IBIS, which stands for In-Build Image Stabilization. This means the camera corrects for hand shake. This allows me to use slower shutter speeds, for example, which is helpful when I'm in a dark location. I also enjoy shooting in the evenings at dusk, choosing a longer shutter speed.

Film Simulations I'm a fan of Fujifilm Film Simulations. The filters give my photos a retro look, and I can quickly switch between different styles and moods. I can choose from a total of 20 different filters. I easily adjust the filters using the dial on the camera. I often use the Classic Chrome filter. This makes my photos look like I'm taking them with an analog camera. The photos have a warm, film-like look with soft colors. I also like the new Reala Ace filter. It makes the colors look vibrant and clear. Thanks to these presets, I can post my photos directly to social media without editing.

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

Of all the Fujis I've owned, this is my favorite.

Beautiful design and solidly made
New recipe switch works well
Fantastic image quality
No camera comes with a charger anymore…

This camera is getting rave reviews everywhere, and rightly so. You sometimes read some negative comments about the resolution of the EVF and the screen. These criticisms are unfounded. In use, the EVF proves to be clear and, in practice, definitely not lacking in resolution. I also have a camera with a resolution of 3.69 million, but in practice, I don't notice any difference. Of all the Fujis I've owned, this is my favorite.
