Fujifilm X-E5 Review: A Compact Camera Packed with Powerful Features

The Fujifilm X-E5 was introduced to the world in the middle of 2025, and it immediately found its way to the shooters who want uncompromising image quality combined with the compact and elegant body of the camera. The mirrorless camera, which bears some resemblance to the rangefinder style, seems to be the natural successor to the beloved X100 series, but it also allows the use of different lenses.

The camera weighs only 445 grams, including the battery and memory card. It is light and easy to carry. You can keep it in a coat pocket or a small sling bag. It is perfect for street photography in places like Delhi.

A simple, point-by-point overview of the Fujifilm X-E5 offering for 2026.

Who Is the X-E5 For?

  • Street, travel, and documentary photographers

  • For photographers who want the best image resolution, but at an affordable price.

  • For the Fujifilm fan who loves Film Simulations and the tactile camera experience

  • For photographers tired of carrying heavy camera gear. But, they don’t want to sacrifice image quality.

Minor Drawbacks

  • Lower EVF resolution than other Fujifilm cameras

  • Has only one card slot (though some markets will feature dual slots)

  • Rolling shutter effect can be seen when shooting video

The Fujifilm X-E5 is the kind of camera that makes you feel as though you’re carrying nothing at all. When you look at the images it captures, you realize the joy of photography. If you want to enjoy this experience without carrying equipment, consider the X-E5.
