Camera Overview — Fujifilm X-E5
Key Features — Fujifilm X-E5
40MP X-Trans BSI CMOS Sensor: The 40-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor uses Fujifilm's non-Bayer X-Trans color filter array, which reduces moiré without relying solely on an optical low-pass filter and produces highly detailed files at native ISOs from 125 to 12800.
5-Axis In-Body Stabilization: The sensor-shift IS system provides up to 7 stops of shake correction (CIPA-rated), making handheld shooting at slow shutter speeds practical for both stills and video.
Phase-Detect AF to -7 EV: The phase-detect autofocus system covers near 100% of the frame with 675 selectable points and maintains lock down to -7 EV in low light, enabling reliable focus in very dark conditions.
Multi-Subject Detection AF: Built-in subject recognition identifies animals, birds, cyclists, aircraft, and trains in addition to human faces and eyes, automatically prioritizing and tracking the detected subject.
6.2K Internal Video, 10-Bit: The camera records up to 6.2K/30P internally at bitrates up to 360 Mbps in 10-bit H.265 or H.264, with F-Log support for flexible color grading in post-production.
20 fps Electronic Shutter: The electronic shutter reaches 1/180,000 sec and sustains 20 fps continuous shooting with a 66-frame raw buffer, while the mechanical shutter offers 8 fps with a 300,000-actuation rating.

Description — Fujifilm X-E5
The Fujifilm X-E5 pairs a 40-megapixel X-Trans (non-Bayer) BSI CMOS sensor (23.5 x 15.6mm) with the X-Processor 5 in a body that measures just 124.9 x 72.9 x 39.1mm and weighs 445g with battery and card. Built on the Fujifilm XF mount, it supports an extensive range of XF lenses and includes 5-axis sensor-based image stabilization rated at up to 7 stops CIPA. The camera records stills in formats including 14-bit RAF RAW, Lossless Compressed RAW, 10-bit HEIF, and multiple TIFF variants, at a maximum resolution of 7728 x 5152 pixels.
For video, it captures 6.2K at up to 30P and 4K UHD at up to 60P internally at bitrates up to 720 Mbps in 10-bit with F-Log support. The native ISO range runs 125–12800, with extended values available. A hot shoe is included alongside a bundled EF-X8 flash, and flash sync speed is 1/180 sec with Auto FP (HSS) support.
Available in Black or Silver at a body-only price of $1,699.
