If I could upvote this several times, i would haveš My X-E5 has just arrived today, and i can tell you already thereās not a single drop of regret. I have the Xpro2 and I just sold the XT5 to buy the XE5 in its place. Many comments already told you to get the Xpro3 for its āpro featuresā but lets be

I did the same cross shopping recently when deciding my first Fujifilm camera. Chose the x-e5 for more MP sensor and IBIS vs the XT30 III. The Xt-50 was also on the list but the X-E5 aesthetics won out

I mean the X-Pro4 is confirmed by Fujifilm, we know it's coming we just don't know when. Looking at how Fujifilm is moving at the moment I fear they would make it a slightly bigger X-E5 with an OVF, honestly I don't think I'd bother.

They look pretty cool if they are on a black colored Fujifilm, but I will never put one in a silver colored one on a Fujifilm X-E5 or Fujifilm X100VI as I wanna respect the retro design looks

Youāre right. the EVF probably wouldnāt have been a real issue for most shots, Iāll admit that. But Iāve seen a few reviewers mention discomfort when using the X-E5ās EVF with glasses, and since I wear them, that was a real concern for me. As for the design, the X-E5 looks great. Fujifilm nailed the

Well, I was in your shoes months ago. Decided to buy iPhone 17 pro in October (upgraded from iPhone 14). It has a great camera for a mobile. Took it to Venice, Paris and Amsterdam, shot lot's of pics also in my home town and nature outings. But still didn't scratch the photograpy itch. So I got Fuji

A lumix G9ii is probably ideal, but itās hefty. The DJI OSMO cams are pretty affordable, dainty, and increasingly popular for far more than action vids. For more traditional cameras, the S9 or S5ii would be far more preferable to the X-E5 for video. If I was a young content creator tho, I would forg

If your goal is to stay under the radar, I would go for a Ricoh GR III or, if you can afford it, a Ricoh GR IV. I use the silver X-T5 with the silver 23mm f/2.8 as my EDC and it is extremely conspicuous, just like the X-Pro, X100, and even the X-E5. I take photos as a hobby, and my first and only Fu

I am also 35 years old and got my first expensive fujifilm camera a month ago, I chose the X-E5 :D manual dials, tiltable selfie screen, interchangeable lenses, high build quality (it really is) and drop dead gorgeous retro design.. i havent gotten out much with it yet, but I just stare at how

Thank you! I also felt quite overwhelmed when deciding what camera to buy, there are so many options out there in so many styles. I asked 2 friends who are photographers, one likes Sony, one likes Fujifilm, I borrowed a Sony A6700 and a Fujifilm X-E5. Enjoyed both, my Sony friend was impressed with
