New Fujifilm X-E5 rangefinder-style camera explores the joy of photography

For those photographers who said, “If only the X100VI had interchangeable lenses,” the X-E5 might just be the camera of their dreams.

13 June 2025. Fujifilm South Africa has announced the latest mirrorless camera in their X Series line-up: the rangefinder-style X-E5, debuting four years after the X-E4. The X-E5 brings with it some serious specifications, including the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and the X-Processor 5 high-speed image processing engine, the same as found inside the flagship Fujifilm X-T5 camera.

The X-E5 can be seen as the rangefinder-style kin to the in-demand X100VI, but unlike the X100VI the X-E5 allows for interchangeable lenses. It also includes a number of new features never seen on Fujifilm X Series cameras before, including a top-plate crafted solely from machined aluminium.

A Tactile and Precise Design 

By combining sharp, flat edges with carefully curved surfaces, the X-E5 offers a distinct premium feel when holding the camera, with tactile handling for one-handed operation.

The top plate is also home to a newly designed Film Simulation dial which features a precision-cut indicator window. Photographers can choose between different Film Simulations on the fly, each providing a particular look and feel, based on Fujifilm film stock such as Velvia and Acros. Fujifilm fans will also be happy to learn about three positions on the dial which allows for the saving of their own Film Simulation recipes.

Importantly, the X-E5 is the first in the X-E series to feature a powerful five-axis In-Body Image Stabilisation mechanism, offering up to 7.0 stops in the centre and 6.0 stops at the periphery – highly beneficial in low-light situations. The camera now also includes a 1.4x and 2x digital teleconverter function, creating a range of framing options even when shooting with prime lenses.

Exploring the Joy of Photography

In keeping with Fujifilm’s exploration of the joy of photography, photographers will be able to select the retro and minimalist “Classic Display” mode when viewing the electronic viewfinder. Inspired by the viewfinder look of old film cameras, this simplifies the information on the EVF to help photographers concentrate on composition.

Further assisting them to capture the exact moment, the new Surround View function displays the area outside the shooting range as a semi-transparent or a line pattern according to the aspect ratio. This provides a shooting experience that is similar to an optical viewfinder even though the X-E5 has an electronic one.

And photographers will never miss a shot, since as far as autofocus is concerned, the X-E5 incorporates an impressive autofocus prediction algorithm for reliable focussing. Thanks to the powerful X-Processor 5, subject detection autofocus can accurately track a range of subjects. This includes animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones, due to the incorporation of deep-learning AI technology.

Finally, when it comes to videography, the X-E5’s compact and lightweight body supports in-camera recording at an impressive 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit, as well as high-quality 4K/60p and 1080/240p.
