Fujifilm has officially launched the FUJIFILM X-E5, the newest entry in its X Series of mirrorless digital cameras, available globally starting August 2025. Weighing just 445g (including battery and memory card), the X-E5 delivers high-end performance in a sleek, retro-inspired body.
It features the 40.2MP back-illuminated X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5, and is the first X-E model to include in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) offering up to 7.0 stops of stabilisation.
Premium Design with Everyday Portability
The X-E5 features a top plate machined from a single piece of aluminium, delivering a smooth metallic texture and solid feel.
Fujifilm introduces a new Film Simulation dial, customizable FS1–FS3 slots, and a refined “Classic Display” mode for the EVF, giving users a cleaner and more immersive shooting experience. With a one-handed control layout and thoughtful ergonomics, the X-E5 preserves vintage charm while embracing modern convenience.
Feature-Rich for Creative Versatility
From everyday moments to professional shoots, the X-E5 adapts to a wide range of scenarios. It includes a 180° tilting LCD, a front control lever for customising functions like aspect ratio or digital zoom, and 6.2K/30P video recording with tracking autofocus.
Its AI-powered AF can recognise a broad set of subjects (animals, vehicles, drones, and more), ensuring sharp results even in fast-paced or low-contrast environments.
Fujinon XF23mmF2.8 R WR: The Perfect Companion Lens
Slim, Stylish, and Built for Quality
Launched alongside the X-E5, the FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR lens brings portability and performance into one elegant form.
With an effective focal length of 35mm (in 35mm format), it’s ideal for street, portrait, travel, and lifestyle photography. Despite its ultra-compact size (only 23mm long and 90g in weight), it delivers high-resolution performance that complements the 40.2MP X-Trans sensor.
Precision Optics in a Tiny Package
The lens uses an 8-element, 6-group design with two aspherical elements to ensure clarity and sharpness from centre to corner.
It supports close focusing down to 20cm, enabling great tabletop and indoor photography. A powerful DC motor drives fast and accurate autofocus, making it an excellent tool for spontaneous shooting without compromise.
Designed for Real-World Use
Fujifilm has focused on both aesthetics and usability. The lens features a metal exterior, precision MF and aperture rings with a fixed ring in between to prevent interference, and knurling on the base for easy handling.
With 9 weather-sealing points, it’s also dustproof, drip-resistant, and cold-resistant down to -10°C, ensuring it performs reliably in all conditions.
Together, the FUJIFILM X-E5 and XF23 mm F2.8 R WR lens deliver a premium, compact mirrorless setup that fits comfortably in your hand and your everyday life. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just getting started, this duo is made to inspire creativity wherever you go.
