Fujifilm X-E5 (Color: Black)

Classic and modern - the new FUJIFILM X-E5 with 40.2 megapixel sensor, AI autofocus and compact body
Compact in format, strong in performance and clear in design language: the new Fujifilm X-E5 expands the successful X series with a model that further develops the characteristic mix of classic modern design with intuitive operation and advanced image technology.

Weighing just 445 grams*1, the X-E5 is a lightweight mirrorless system camera. At the same time, it offers impressive performance: the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2 and the powerful X-Processor 5 ensure outstanding image quality and fast data processing.

With the X-E5, Fujifilm introduces several innovations to the X-E line. The in-camera five-axis image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 7.0 EV stops in the center of the image and 6.0 EV stops at the edges*3. This ensures razor-sharp images even in low light.

Another new feature is the cover plate, which is made entirely from milled aluminum and ensures a high-quality feel.

The new Classic Display mode*4 offers a reduced, clear viewfinder display, with all important information appearing at the bottom of the image. The body design allows quick access to dials and levers with just one hand, so you can keep your eyes focused on the subject through the viewfinder.

The X-E5 stays true to the style of the X series and consistently develops it further in terms of design and function. Sophisticated technology and elegant design make the camera a tool that appeals to both beginners and experienced photographers - and reawakens the joy of photography.

Stylish design and intuitive operation
The X-E5 is the first model in the X series to feature a top plate precisely milled from solid aluminum.
The distinctive recess at the back emphasizes the high-quality finish of the metal body and facilitates access to the control dials - for a user-friendly and comfortable shooting experience.

The newly designed film simulation dial features a precisely crafted display window that makes the transition to the body appear almost seamless, creating a flawless finish. Personal preferences for film simulation and image quality can also be conveniently stored as film simulation recipes in positions FS1 to FS3.

The design of the X-E5 has been refined down to the last detail. The viewfinder and the diopter adjustment are a perfect fit with the Body and blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The targeted refinement of lines and proportions preserves the traditional camera style and gives the body a stylish, contemporary look. A shoulder strap with an elegant rope look rounds off the sophisticated design concept of the camera.

Visual comfort and quick adjustment
The electronic viewfinder offers a retro-minimalist classic display mode reminiscent of old film cameras. The display is limited to the essentials. Together with a body that allows one-handed operation of dials and levers, users can stay in control of the image composition without taking their eyes off the camera.

The X-E5 also has a Surround View function: it shows the area outside the shooting field through semi-transparent areas or lines, depending on the image format. The viewfinder image conveys the feeling of an optical viewfinder, even though it is an electronic one.

A lever on the front of the camera can be used to select the film simulation recipes and control the user-defined display modes, such as changing the VIEW MODE, adjusting the image format or setting the magnification of the digital teleconverter. The camera thus combines versatility with ease of use.

Powerful technology
An improved gyro sensor and an optimized algorithm now detect movements even more precisely and compensate for camera shake particularly effectively. Despite the compact body, the integrated 5-axis stabilization achieves compensation of up to 7.0 EV steps in the center of the image and 6.0 EV steps at the edges - for razor-sharp images in a wide variety of situations.

Thanks to the high-resolution "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor, subjects can be enlarged 1.4 or 2.0 times with the digital teleconverter.

The flip-up monitor can be tilted up to 180 degrees upwards and forwards for creative compositions, from high and low perspectives to selfies.
The X-E5 records video in 6.2K/30P and offers tracking autofocus for smooth focus tracking and smooth, high-quality moving images.

High image quality and fast autofocus
The fifth generation of the X series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor. Advanced image processing algorithms ensure high resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

An improved pixel structure enables a higher light yield and makes ISO 125 available as the standard sensitivity. This results in particularly detailed images with reduced noise. In the previous model*5, this value could only be used via the extended sensitivity range.
The electronic shutter allows ultra-short exposure times of up to 1/180,000 second and therefore extremely precise exposure control.

The autofocus system of the X-E5 offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. The algorithm, developed using deep learning technology, not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones*6 in focus. A new AF algorithm improves tracking performance on moving subjects and increases autofocus precision in low-contrast scenes.

The Lenses:

Fujinon XF23mmF2.8 R WR WW1-Pancake (Black)

Compact and lightweight
The FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR pancake lens expands the FUJIFILM X series range, which is known for classic, modern cameras, outstanding image quality and unparalleled color reproduction.

At just 23 millimeters long*1 and weighing around 90 grams, the Lenses is exceptionally compact and lightweight. Its 23 mm focal length (equivalent to 35 mm 35mm) and high resolution make it the ideal complement to the 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2.

The versatile standard wide-angle lens is suitable for a wide range of subjects - from everyday scenes and close-ups to landscapes, portraits and still lifes. It combines robust construction, high functionality and impressive image quality in a wide range of situations. Thanks to the compact shape and low weight of the Lenses, the photographic equipment remains pleasantly light, ideal for spontaneous shots on the go.

The optical design of the XF23mmF2.8 R WR consists of eight elements in six groups. Two aspherical lenses minimize aberrations from the center to the edge of the image and contribute to impressive sharpness and fine detail.

Despite its high resolution, the Lenses remains compact, as the lens elements can be made particularly thin thanks to the latest manufacturing technology. The slim Lenses benefits from precisely manufactured metal components. Weighing just 90 grams and measuring 23 millimetres in length, it is just as compact as the XF27mmF2.8.

Eleven aperture blades create a soft, rounded bokeh that highlights the main subject in an atmospheric way. At the same time, even small Lenses can be depicted in great detail at close range.

Versatile and fast
The minimum distance to the subject is only 20 centimetres, the lens remains pleasantly compact and easy to handle even at this close distance. This makes it possible to take pictures even in small spaces - such as still lifes on a table.

When focusing, the entire lens group moves, minimizing aberrations and ensuring high image quality right up to the close-up range. A powerful DC motor ensures fast focusing.

Stylish and robust
The XF23mmF2.8 R WR impresses with its stylish, tapered design. The focus ring is sensor-supported and enables precise manual focusing with a minimal angle of rotation.

Despite the compact design, the focus ring and aperture ring are separated by a fixed intermediate ring and can be conveniently operated independently of each other. The finely ribbed surface ensures a secure grip and makes it easier to change the Lenses.

The lens barrel is dustproof, splash-proof and fully functional down to minus 10 °C. Nine seals ensure reliable operation. Nine seals ensure reliable use even in light rain and dusty environments.
