"Fujifilm's X-E5 was released toward the end of 2025, and like all Fujifilm cameras, it was difficult to get your hands on at first. It delivers much of what it promises, being essentially an interchangeable-lens version of the extremely popular Fujifilm X100VI. If you want a cute, compact X100VI, but want to switch lenses from time to time (or constantly, if that's your thing), this is absolutely the camera for you."
"The X-E series cameras used to be Fujifilm's minimalist range finder-a smaller, lighter, cheaper alternative to the X-Pro series. I would argue that with this fifth version of the X-E, this is no longer true. This is the Fujifilm range finder. It's less minimalist, both in terms of features and in size and weight, and if no one else is willing to say it I will: There aren't going to be any more X-Pros."
Released late 2025, the X-E5 pairs a 40‑MP sensor with a compact, lightweight rangefinder-style body and interchangeable-lens flexibility. The camera delivers excellent image quality, strong micro-contrast, and Fujifilm color science. Key features include IBIS, solid subject recognition, decent autofocus speeds, and a new film simulation dial for storing custom film recipes. Limitations include lack of weather sealing, a single SD card slot, and video capabilities that lag behind other recent Fujifilm models. The X-E5 is positioned as the contemporary Fujifilm rangefinder and an interchangeable alternative to the popular X100VI.
