Pros: Small, built with great materials, great buttons, menu, very nice functionality, small camera to fall in love with beautiful Fujifilm.
Cons: See: My description below.
Opinion: The Fuji X-E5 camera arrived yesterday, initially it was very critical of it. The camera is beautifully crafted with smooth surfaces, metal is a nice feeling. Tested with small lenses, Fuji 8 3.5, Sigma 10-18, Fuji 23 1.4WR, Fuji 16-55 WRII, the AF performs very well. I also tried with the new 23 2.8 lens, which I find very good, also it makes less noise than the Fuji 27 2.8, which I didn't like, I think everything is fine, I also find the 23mm focal length ideal as an all-rounder, the lens has a modern line and is very sharp with incredible compactness, you should keep that in mind, otherwise Fujifilm at the 35 1.4, 60 2.4 macro with character but a very weak slow AF. I like the menu, I get along like on my X-H2, but I don't particularly like the X-T System Menu. Actually, I find few criticisms, I don't particularly like the display I prefer the swivel ones with the possibility of closing everything as on my X-H2. I don't like the belt,strap provided with the camera in my horrible opinion, I would suggest as Peak-Design the belt maybe even small bag for small optics would be super compact. A small button for shooting, small smallrig for the X-E5 with carefully black or silver color with better grip. I find that the small batteries fit perfectly to the camera, only a slot for the memory card I find excellent solution keeping the camera body very small, otherwise the camera will be larger, I don't think it is possible to do much more so physiological limit, also there is the X-T5 as a professional camera, the X-E5 is not an action camera created for photographers who love to take photos and do not like video, I also have the Touchgreen turned off never loved in my opinion it also slows down photographic functions. I found two dots a bit negative, I'm not left-handed, I use my right hand even my right eye and I don't have problems with the buttons, but if I were a left-handed left-handed person it would also be a problem with the keys. I focus with the right eye viewfinder but with the left eye it would be a problem, you get in contact with your fingers with the viewfinder also a problem. Price?: I'm definitely a theme on this camera with optional I would buy so it exceeds the price of an example X-T5 or goes up to par, but the X-T5 is a professional camera, I think the X-E5 is a small machine with small class size for travel, road, small business where every extra gram counts, Prices however increase in general for me so acceptable. |
