Fujifilm X-E5 + 23MM F2.8 R WR Pancake Black Kit (SKU 16949349)

Blending the flexibility of interchangeable lenses with a 40.2MP APS-C sensor and the classic, compact styling of the X100VI, the FUJIFILM X-E5 mirrorless camera delivers advanced imaging performance in an analog-inspired body. Aimed at creatives who enjoy tactile camera controls, the X-E5 offers five-axis in-body image stabilization, AI-powered autofocus, 14-bit Raw capture, and 6.2K video at up to 29.97 fps. Among its physical controls is a dedicated film simulation dial, allowing fast access to FUJIFILM’s film profiles and three user-customizable settings.

40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Sensor and X-Processor 5

Using the same 40.2MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5 engine found in the X100VI, the X-E5 records vibrant 6.2K video and highly detailed stills in Raw, JPEG, HEIF, and TIFF formats. This processing combination enables a base ISO of 125, resulting in cleaner images with reduced noise, especially in low light, and supports deep-learning AI for more advanced subject recognition and improved autofocus.

The high resolution also allows for significant cropping while maintaining detail, and the X-E5 includes a built-in digital teleconverter with 1.4x and 2.0x zoom settings. Native ISO for stills and video is 125 to 12,800, expandable to 64–51,200 in photo mode and 64–25,600 in video mode.

Professional Photo Capture

Designed with street and travel photographers in mind, the X-E5 combines portability with powerful still-photo features. It offers excellent out-of-camera results and extensive flexibility for those who prefer to edit in post-production.

Key still-image capabilities include:

• 14-bit Raw, HEIF 4:2:2 10-bit, TIFF 8-bit, and JPEG formats

• Maximum image resolutions of 7728 x 5152 (3:2), 7728 x 4344 (16:9), and 5152 x 5152 (1:1)

• Minimum shutter speeds of 1/4000 s with the mechanical shutter and 1/180,000 s with the electronic shutter

• Continuous uncompressed Raw shooting up to 20 fps with a 1.29x crop

• Long exposures up to 1 hour in bulb mode and up to 15 minutes in other photo modes

Customizable Film Emulation

The X-E5 combines FUJIFILM’s Film Simulation profiles with a physical dial on the camera body, making it easy to change the visual character of images while shooting. Positioned next to the viewfinder, the dial’s current selection is visible through a circular window on the aluminum top plate.

It offers a selection of built-in Film Simulation modes plus three user-assignable positions where photographers can store their own custom “recipes” for quick recall. The X-E5 includes 20 Film Simulation modes:

• PROVIA/Standard

• Velvia/Vivid

• ASTIA/Soft

• Classic Chrome

• REALA ACE

• PRO Neg. Hi

• PRO Neg. Std

• Classic Neg.

• Nostalgic Neg.

• ETERNA/Cinema

• ETERNA BLEACH BYPASS

Versatile Video Recording

The X-E5 is equally capable as a video tool, able to record 6.2K, UHD 4K, DCI 4K, and Full HD footage with a variety of frame rates and compression options. AI-driven autofocus helps keep subjects sharp, while broad format support ensures flexibility in post-production.

Notable video features include:

• Up to 29.97 fps in 6.2K, up to 59.94 fps in 4K, and up to 240 fps in Full HD

• 425-point intelligent hybrid AF with AI-based subject detection

• Recording in H.265 and H.264 with All-Intra or Long GOP compression

• Bitrates up to 200 Mb/s at all supported resolutions for detailed, high-quality footage

Dynamic Accessibility and Viewing

For reviewing images, navigating menus, and composing shots, the X-E5 includes both an LCD and an electronic viewfinder.

• A 3" touchscreen LCD with three-way tilting and 1.04-million-dot resolution supports intuitive touch operation and flexible shooting angles.

• A rangefinder-style OLED EVF, offset to the left on the top plate, offers 2.36-million-dot resolution, 0.62x magnification, and 100% coverage for accurate framing.

The EVF can be switched to Classic Display mode, which emulates a traditional analog SLR viewfinder by hiding most on-screen graphics and leaving only essential exposure information. Both the LCD and EVF provide three Surround View options to define how the area outside the capture frame is displayed (outlined, semi-transparent, or fully blacked out) when using aspect ratios other than 3:2.

Improved Stabilization

Designed for creators who work handheld in varied environments, the X-E5 incorporates in-body image stabilization while retaining a compact, lightweight design.

• Five-axis sensor-shift IBIS

• Up to seven stops of stabilization at the center of the frame and up to six stops at the edges (depending on lens and conditions)

• Allows sharp images at slower shutter speeds in low light without a tripod

• A new stabilization algorithm and improved gyro sensor further enhance performance

Classic Design and Tactile Controls

With an aluminum top plate, refined grip, and timeless rangefinder-inspired styling, the X-E5 offers both durability and a classic aesthetic. Analog-style controls provide a tactile shooting experience reminiscent of film cameras, giving direct access to key settings without diving into menus.

• Shutter speed dial with a wide range of preset speeds, plus “A” for aperture priority and “P” for full program mode

• Two customizable function buttons

• Dedicated Bluetooth button

• Exposure compensation dial

• Four-position lever to switch between teleconverter modes

Connectivity and System Compatibility

Leveraging FUJIFILM’s extensive X-mount system, the X-E5 supports a wide variety of lenses and accessories and offers strong wired and wireless connectivity.

• Compatible with over 40 X-mount lenses and accessories, including the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR

• Single SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot supporting UHS-II cards and V90 speed class

• Hot shoe for powering compatible accessories such as flashes or microphones

FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens (FUJIFILM X, Black)

The included XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR lens offers a 35mm equivalent field of view on an APS-C sensor, in a very compact and lightweight design. It is ideal for photographers who want high optical quality while maintaining a small, discreet setup.

With a rounded 11-blade diaphragm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens produces smooth, attractive bokeh and performs well in low-light conditions. Measuring less than 1" thick and weighing just 3.2 oz, it preserves the compact form factor of X-mount cameras while delivering high image quality through an optical design that includes two aspherical elements to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations.

Focusing can be controlled either by the camera’s autofocus system or manually via the focus ring, with a minimum focus distance of 7.9". The weather-resistant build makes it suitable for use outdoors in varied conditions, and a 39mm front thread allows easy attachment of filters.
