SYDNEY, 12 JUNE 2025 – FUJIFILM Australia Pty Ltd announces the global launch of the “Fujifilm X-E5” (X-E5). The X-E5 is the newest model in the X Series, offering outstanding image quality in a compact and lightweight body.

The X-E5 is a lightweight and compact mirrorless digital camera, weighing approximately 445g*1, equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR"*2 sensor and the "X-Processor 5" high-speed image processing engine. The X-E5 is the first in the camera series to feature a powerful five-axis in-body stabilisation (IBIS) mechanism offering up to 7.0 stops in the centre and 6.0 stops at the periphery*3. This makes it an effortless, “daily carry” that’s flexible in the most challenging scenarios.
For the first time in the X Series, the X-E5 features a top plate crafted from a single piece of machined aluminium. By combining sharp, flat edges with carefully curved surfaces, the top plate delivers a smooth metallic texture and rigidity, offering a premium feel when holding the camera. The new “Classic Display” mode*4 provides a clean viewfinder image with key information at the bottom of the frame. Combined with a body style that allows you to operate the dials and the lever with one hand, you can immerse yourself in photography with the camera to your eye.
The X-E5 retains the classic style of the X Series while embodying an innovative, elegant design. It is equipped with intuitive features to inspire the joy of photography. Catering to a wide range of users, from photography enthusiasts to first-timers, this camera offers the delight of owning a sophisticated tool and the excitement of immersing oneself in the world of photography.
"The newly announced Fujifilm X-E5 brings a new level of performance and portability to the Fujifilm X series. The new top plate that is constructed in the same way as the GFX100RF, this single piece of machined aluminium not only strengthens the camera, but also adds to the feel and premium experience”, said Shaun Mah, General Manager of the Electronic Imaging Optical Devices Division of FUJIFILM Australia.
“We’ve listened to our users and introduced the new ‘Classic Display Mode’ for the electronic viewfinder, which will give our users distraction-free shooting so they can concentrate on capturing their moments. The Fujifilm X-E5 is the ultimate camera in performance and portability for even our most demanding shooters", Shaun added.

1. Fujifilm X-E5 Product Features

A product design that embodies a classic yet highly sophisticated presence.
- For the first time in the X Series, the top plate is carved from a single piece of metal. The distinct tapered design on the rear of the top plate enhances the metallic texture while improving the operability of the dials, ensuring a seamless and comfortable shooting experience.

- The newly designed Film Simulation dial features a precision-cut indicator window that minimises the gap between the dial and body for an exact finish. Additionally, you can individually set Film Simulation and image quality settings to the FS1-FS3 positions, allowing you to save your own FS recipes.
- Refinement is central to every aspect of X-E5’s design. For example, the viewfinder and diopter adjustment control fit flush with the body. By refining vertical and horizontal elements, the design preserves the essence of a traditional camera while exuding a sophisticated presence.
- To complement the sophisticated design, a stylish rope-type shoulder strap is included.
Features and operability that immerse you in the world through the viewfinder

- The X-E5 is equipped with a retro and minimalist “Classic Display” mode for the EVF, inspired by old film cameras. The information on the EVF has been simplified as much as possible. Combined with a body style that allows you to operate the dials and the lever with one hand, you can immerse yourself in photography with the camera to your eye.
- The X-E5 has a new Surround View function that displays the area outside the shooting range as a semi-transparent or line pattern according to the aspect ratio. While looking through the viewfinder, users can easily switch between these two modes using a lever, providing a shooting experience that is similar to an Optical Viewfinder (OVF), even though it is an EVF.
- A control lever is mounted on the front of the camera, offering customisable functionality such as switching VIEW MODE, changing aspect ratios, and adjusting the digital teleconverter magnification.
Powerful in-body image stabilisation and advanced features for expanded creative possibilities
- The shake detection accuracy of the gyro sensor has been improved, including a new algorithm that enhances responsiveness to camera shake. Thanks to the latest technologies, the camera has 5-axis compensation performance of up to 7.0 stops at the centre and 6.0 stops at the edges. The compact body is equipped with powerful image stabilisation, allowing for comfortable shooting across a wide range of scenarios.
- The camera features a digital teleconverter function that allows 1.4x and 2.0x zoom levels. Equipped with the high-resolution “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” sensor, it enables zooming with minimal loss of image quality, making it versatile for a wide range of shooting scenarios.
- The rear tilting monitor can be flipped upward and forward facing up to 180 degrees, which can accommodate a wide variety of compositions, from high to low angle, as well as selfies.
- The X-E5 is capable of shooting in 6.2K/30P, 4K/60p and FHD/240P resolution. It features a tracking AF function during video recording, ensuring high quality and smooth footage.
Equipped with a high-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine to achieve high image quality and high-performance AF
- The fifth generation of the X series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” sensor. The latest image processing algorithms deliver high resolution while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio.
- Because the improved pixel structure allows more light to be captured efficiently, ISO 125, which was the extended sensitivity in the previous model*5 can be used as the normal sensitivity. In addition, the electronic shutter can be set to a shutter speed of 1/180000 sec. at the fastest, achieving highly precise control of exposure time.
- The X-E5 features an AI-based subject detection AF, developed using deep learning technology to detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones*6.
- The latest AF predictive algorithm provides high tracking performance for moving subjects and high precision AF in low-contrast environments.
