Fujifilm Introduces FUJIFILM X-E5 Mirrorless Digital Camera
VALHALLA, N.Y., June 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division, announces the launch of FUJIFILM X-E5 (X-E5) rangefinder-style mirrorless digital camera. X-E5 combines the classic look and feel that has made Fujifilm's X-E series a sought-after tool among photographers, with an updated design and the latest features X Series has to offer including a customizable Film Simulation (FS) dial, in-body image stabilization, enhanced viewfinder capabilities, and more. "X-E5 is a masterstroke of elegant design, delivering the perfect balance between form and function," said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. "It blends our fifth-generation digital imaging technology with soulful touches of classic design, creating a camera that brings even seasoned users a new way to immerse themselves in our subculture of Film Simulations." Main Features: Lightweight, compact form factor, featuring new Film Simulation dial X-E5 is designed to be an everyday carry camera, weighing approximately 445g (approximately 1lb.)1. For the first time in the history of FUJIFILM X Series, the top-plate is machined from a single piece of aluminum. The distinct tapered design on the rear of the top plate enhances the metallic texture while improving the operability of the dials, ensuring a seamless and comfortable creative experience. By combining sharp, flat edges with carefully curved surfaces, the top-plate delivers a smooth metallic texture and a high sense of rigidity, offering a premium feel when holding the camera. In addition to providing quick access to Fujifilm's exclusive Film Simulation modes, the FS dial features three additional positions that allow users to create and save their own custom FS recipes to FS1, FS2, or FS3. Refinement is central to every aspect of X-E5's design. For example, the viewfinder and diopter adjustment control fit flush with the body. By refining vertical and horizontal elements, the design preserves the essence of a traditional camera while exuding a sophisticated presence. New Electronic Viewfinder Capabilities Inspired by retro film cameras, the new Classic Display mode2 on X-E5's rangefinder-style electronic viewfinder (EVF), displays key information at the bottom of the frame. X-E5 also has a new Surround View function that displays a black, semi-transparent or outlined area outside the image. While looking through the viewfinder, users can easily switch between these three options using the Control Lever on the front of the camera, providing an image making experience similar to a traditional optical viewfinder. The Control Lever offers additional customizable functions including changing aspect ratios and adjusting the digital teleconverter magnification. This ensures exceptional operability and versatility, even with one-handed operation. Powerful in-body image stabilization (IBIS), digital teleconverter, and video capabilities A new IBIS algorithm and upgraded gyro sensor work together to increase responsiveness to camera shake across five axes. This offers a benefit of up to 7.0 stops at the center and 6.0 stops at the periphery3. The camera features a digital teleconverter function that allows for 1.4x and 2.0x zoom options. This enables users to crop into the frame with a minimal loss of image quality, for additional creative versatility. The rear tilting monitor can be flipped upward and forward facing up to 180 degrees, which can accommodate a wide variety of compositions, from high to low angle, as well as selfies. X-E5 is capable of shooting in 6.2K/30P resolution. It features a tracking AF function during video recording, ensuring high-quality and smooth footage. High-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine for high-quality images and autofocus (AF) X-E5 is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR sensor. Updated image processing algorithms deliver high resolution while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio. An improved pixel structure allows light to be recorded more efficiently on the imaging sensor, unlocking ISO 125 as a native sensitivity. On the previous model4 this was only available as an extended option. Additionally, the electronic shutter can be set to a maximum shutter speed of 1/180,000 of a second to achieve highly precise exposure control. X-E5 features AI-based subject-detection autofocus, developed using deep learning technology to detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones5. The latest AF predictive algorithm delivers high tracking performance for moving subjects and high precision AF in low-contrast lighting. Pricing and Availability Available in both black and silver varieties, the FUJIFILM X-E5 mirrorless digital camera will be available late summer 2025 at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $1,699.95 USD and $1,999.99 CAD. A kit will also be available featuring the newly announced FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR lens, at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $1,899.95 USD and $2,249.99 CAD.

Fujifilm finally just announced the X-E5 — here's everything that matters
Fujifilm has just announced the X-E5: the long awaited and much anticipated upgrade from the discontinued Fujifilm X-E4. More compact than the Fujifilm X-T line (some of the best mirrorless cameras you can buy), the X-E line is back with Fuji's 40.2MP sensor, plus a new film simulation dial, viewing modes and an OVF simulator. While it shares most of its internals with the Fujifilm X100VI, with interchangeable lenses, the X-E5 is pitched at anyone who wants the form of the X100VI, but more creative freedom, or who has so far missed out on that in-demand camera altogether. I got to test the X-E5 on some of the most beautiful architecture in Valencia and I'll be sharing my detailed thoughts in a separate article. We'll also be reviewing the camera fully very soon. But for now, here is everything you need to know about the Fujifilm X-E5. Unsurprisingly, the X-E5 has received significant upgrades from the X-E4. The most notable difference is Fuji's X-Trans CMOS 5 HR 40.2MP sensor and X-Processor 5 combo as we've already seen in the Fujifilm X-100VI and Fujifilm X-T50, where the X-E4 only had a 26MP sensor. The X-E5 also has in-body stabilization which is new to the X-E range. IBIS, new features and an improved build (such as the aluminium top plate and a better grip) make it 81 grams heavier than the X-E4 at 445 grams — not so ideal in a street camera but maybe worth it for the increased usability brought by IBIS. The X-E5 has a 0.39-inch OLED viewfinder with a 3-inch, 1.04 million dot LCD screen at the rear. The LCD screen of the X-E4 was actually 1.62 million dots, so we've lost some quality here, but the size and touch screen capabilities remain the same. That being said, neither of these are as crisp as the 1.84 million dot LCD screen of the X-T50. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The X-E5 does have a few tricks up its sleeve though, with its EVF and display, which I will get into later. The rear monitor extends and tilts 180° like the X-E4 to help achieve perfect angles without getting on the floor. It even flips up so you can get selfie-style shots too. The controls are, as with most Fujifilm cameras, tactile and about as user friendly as you can get. There are the typical retro dials on the top panel, with the addition of a new film simulation dial, that I'll cover below. The X-E5 uses Fuji's NP-W125 battery, the same as the X-E4. It has a battery life rating of 400 shots (CIPA), and I got 398 before the camera died on me. This slimmer battery allows the the profile of the grip to remain small. Unfortunately, like the X-E4, the X-E5 is not weather sealed, so while it's great in the sunshine and dry weather, it's not one to take out on rainy days. Most importantly, as I mentioned earlier, the X-E5 is the first in the X-E series to get IBIS, which is big news — if you've spent time dwelling on camera forums, this is something the community has been pining for. The X-E5 uses the same five-axis IBIS mechanism we've seen in other recent Fuji cameras like the Fujifilm X-S20, X-T50 and X100VI, for up to 7 stops. It was a solid system to begin with, allowing sharp results at low shutter speeds as low as 2-secs in the X-S20. However, in the X-E5, the detection accuracy of the gyro sensor has been improved over previous models to enhance responsiveness to shake, according to Fujifilm. Continuing Fuji's trend of adding simulation dials to everything, the X-E5 has (you guessed it) a film simulation dial with a display window on top, and three of these can be programmed with your own recipe presets. There is now a toggle on the front of the camera that allows you to alter the aspect ratio visible through the EVF and in SOOC (straight out of camera) JPEGs. This operates the Surround View Function, too, which allows you to see outside the boundaries of your chosen frame/aspect ratio, to simulate an Optical Viewfinder (OVF). There's also a Classic Display mode, which tidies up the image's information at the bottom of the frame to provide a stripped back and more engaging experience. Could these features be a death knell for the X-Pro line, with its hybrid EVF/OVF and emphasis on purity of experience? Just like the Fujifilm GFX100 RF, the X-E5 comes with a rope strap included that is padded around the neck. So while it is a little heavier than the X-E4, it is still super comfortable. The X-E5 launch comes with the news of an interchangeable pancake lens — the XF 23mm F2.8 R WR. At 23mm focal length, this lens offers a slightly wider field of view than the 27mm pancake kit lens of the X-E4, making it a little better for wider street scenes or architecture. The minimum focal distance of the lens is a relatively short 20cm so I was able to get some great detail shots in my time with it. Following on from the X-E4 and its 27mm kit lens, the X-E5 camera body isn't weather resistant, but the lens is. The lens won't be available for purchase separately until November 2025. While the camera is certainly suitable for casual shooters who want a sleek street camera with film simulations, it's quite the investment, and is priced for enthusiasts, just like the X100VI. Available in all black or with silver accents, the camera is priced at $1,699 / £1,299 for the body only and $1,899 / £1,549 for the kit. The kit includes the camera body and the new pancake lens. The prices have been pretty significantly affected by the tariffs in America. This puts the X-E5 on the more expensive side of the X series cameras, with the X-E4 originally being priced at $849 for body only, so even without the effect of the tariffs, this is a stark price jump.
