Fujifilm X-E5 + Tamron 16-50mm f/2.8 A black

Fujifilm X-E5 (Color: Black)

Classic and modern - the new FUJIFILM X-E5 with 40.2 megapixel sensor, AI autofocus and compact body
Compact in size, strong in performance and clear in design: The new Fujifilm X-E5 expands the successful X series with a model that further develops the characteristic mix of classic, modern design with intuitive operation and advanced image technology.

Weighing just 445 grams*1, the X-E5 is a lightweight mirrorless system camera. At the same time, it offers impressive performance: the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2 and the powerful X-Processor 5 ensure outstanding image quality and fast data processing.

With the X-E5, Fujifilm introduces several innovations to the X-E line. The in-camera five-axis image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 7.0 EV stops in the center of the image and 6.0 EV stops at the edges*3. This ensures razor-sharp images even in low light.
Another new feature is the cover plate, which is made entirely from milled aluminum and ensures a high-quality feel.

The new Classic Display mode*4 offers a reduced, clear viewfinder display, with all important information appearing at the bottom of the image. The body design allows quick access to dials and levers with just one hand, so you can keep your eyes focused on the subject through the viewfinder.
The X-E5 stays true to the style of the X series and consistently develops it further in terms of design and function. Sophisticated technology and elegant design make the camera a tool that appeals to both beginners and experienced photographers - and reawakens the joy of photography.

Stylish design and intuitive operation
The X-E5 is the first model in the X series to feature a top plate precisely milled from solid aluminum.
The characteristic recess at the back emphasizes the high-quality workmanship of the metal body and facilitates access to the control dials - for a user-friendly and comfortable shooting experience.

The newly designed film simulation dial has a precisely manufactured display window that makes the transition to the body appear almost seamless, creating a flawless finish. Personal preferences for film simulation and image quality can also be conveniently stored as film simulation recipes in positions FS1 to FS3.

The design of the X-E5 has been refined down to the last detail. The viewfinder and diopter adjustment are a perfect fit with the Body and blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The targeted refinement of lines and proportions preserves the traditional camera style and gives the body a stylish, contemporary look. A shoulder strap with an elegant rope look rounds off the sophisticated design concept of the camera.

Visual comfort and quick adjustment
The electronic viewfinder offers a retro-minimalist classic display mode reminiscent of old film cameras. The display is limited to the essentials. Together with a body that allows one-handed operation of dials and levers, users can stay in control of the image composition without taking their eyes off the camera.

The X-E5 also has a Surround View function: it shows the area outside the shooting field through semi-transparent areas or lines, depending on the image format. The viewfinder image conveys the feeling of an optical viewfinder, even though it is an electronic one.

A lever on the front of the camera can be used to select the film simulation recipes and control the user-defined display modes, such as changing the VIEW MODE, adjusting the image format or setting the magnification of the digital teleconverter. The camera thus combines versatility with ease of use.

Powerful technology
An improved gyro sensor and an optimized algorithm now detect movements even more precisely and compensate for camera shake particularly effectively. Despite the compact body, the integrated 5-axis stabilization achieves compensation of up to 7.0 EV steps in the center of the image and 6.0 EV steps at the edges - for razor-sharp images in a wide range of situations.

Thanks to the high-resolution "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor, subjects can be enlarged by a factor of 1.4 or 2.0 with the digital teleconverter.

The flip-up monitor can be tilted up to 180 degrees upwards and forwards for creative compositions, from high and low perspectives to selfies.
The X-E5 records video in 6.2K/30P and offers tracking autofocus for smooth focus tracking and smooth, high-quality moving images.

High image quality and fast autofocus
The fifth generation of the X series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor. Advanced image processing algorithms ensure high resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

An improved pixel structure enables a higher light yield and makes ISO 125 available as the standard sensitivity. This results in particularly detailed images with reduced noise. In the previous model*5, this value could only be used via the extended sensitivity range.
The electronic shutter allows ultra-short exposure times of up to 1/180,000 second and therefore extremely precise exposure control.

The autofocus system of the X-E5 offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. Developed using deep learning technology, the algorithm not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones*6 in focus. A new AF algorithm improves tracking performance on moving subjects and increases autofocus precision in low-contrast scenes.

The Tamron 16–50mm F2.8 for modern APS-C cameras covers an exceptionally versatile focal length range from wide-angle to medium telephoto, equivalent to 24–75mm on a full-frame camera.
Starting at a wide-angle focal length of 16 mm, it effortlessly captures expansive landscapes, architecture, and wide-angle group shots such as family photos—even in cramped indoor spaces. The medium telephoto range offers a wide variety of shooting possibilities, including Schnappschüsse and enchanting portraits of parent-child moments.

Compact Design
Despite its constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens remains exceptionally compact and lightweight, with a length of just 79.6 mm and a weight of only 305 g. The filter size is 55 mm. Combined with a highly rigid lens barrel, this makes the lens a versatile standard zoom for everyday use.

Fast Aperture and Beautiful Bokeh
Despite its compact size, this lens offers a constant, fast F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, starting at 16 mm wide-angle. The exceptional optical design offers a beautiful combination of soft bokeh and sharp image reproduction, effortlessly highlighting your subject—for highly expressive images.
The fast f/2.8 aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions—such as indoors or at dusk—effectively minimizing motion blur when photographing active children or fast-moving rides at amusement parks.

VXD Linear Motor
The autofocus system is equipped with the fast and highly precise VXD (Voice-coil eXtremetorque Drive) linear motor. It reliably captures fleeting, spontaneous moments and offers excellent subject tracking, smoothly handling even the unpredictable movements of pets and children. Furthermore, thanks to its exceptionally quiet operation, it’s suitable for both still photography and video recording in noise-sensitive environments.

Ideal for Video Recording
The 16–50 mm F2.8 is excellent for video recording, making it ideal for lifestyle clips and travel vlogs (vlogging). The 16-mm wide-angle setting allows for selfies that include the background. The quiet autofocus and excellent balance when mounted on a gimbal or a shooting grip ensure a comfortable shooting experience. The Sony E-Mount and Nikon Z-mount versions support the Tamron Lens Utility™.

Creative Perspectives A minimum focusing distance (MOD) of 0.15 m–0.29 m (6 inches–11.5 inches) delivers exceptional close-up capabilities. You can effortlessly capture flowers or café scenes with expansive backgrounds while taking advantage of the wide-angle perspective, without being limited by working distance. This close-focus capability expands your creative possibilities—from sweeping wide-angle shots to intimate portraits of a sleeping child, framed by soft bokeh in the mid-telephoto range.
