Fujifilm X-E5 and XF23mm f/2.8 Preorders at 6:00 AM (PST)
If you're planning to get the camera, the lens, or the kit, be ready to place your preorder as soon as it's live at B&H Photo or Adorama. While it's priced higher than previous X-E models, the X-E5 remains one of the most unique rangefinder-style digital cameras on the market. It now comes with IBIS and Fujifilm’s latest hardware, including the 40MP sensor and X-Processor 5.

Thank you, I fixed it.

For those who voted "No", it might be helpful for others who are still undecided if you shared your reasons.

I am ordering it. I like the X-E4 too much not to try the new release. I was hoping for a better EVF but it is what it is. The addition of IBIS will make it useable for video now. While it's definitely not worth the price value-wise, I'm sure it will be use-wise.

Yes, that was exactly my reaction when I first saw the price. I had every intention of picking one up, but it just feels like a bit too much for what the camera offers. I'm also not sure how the build will compare to the X-E4, which I used for almost a year. It was a fun and capable camera, but I never found it particularly robust...which felt acceptable at the $900 price I paid.

To be honest, I was ready to pre-order the X-E5, but the pricing made me pause. As much as I enjoyed shooting with the previous version, this might be the moment I step away from Fuji altogether.

Do we know the price outside of the U.S.? It might be less because AFAIK this includes the tariff.

Glad to see the X-E5 but might be a good time to get X-E4, mpb seems more reasonable.

One site seemed to say it's made in China, which could raise the price due to tariffs. As a ballpark 20% of $1700 is $340, but i can't tell you the exact numbers

Does it increase the quality of the images I take compared to my X-E3? No. I don't need 40MP. I don't need IBIS. I don't need a film simulation dial (or film simulations to begin with). An updated X-E3 with that cameras control layout but the new processor, improved AF, improved EVF - that's what I was ready to pay for.

Not known yet but we’ll find out in a couple of hours. If I use the Leica D-Lux 8 as a proxy than it should come in around 1.400€ in the EU. That would still be a 50% increase over the X-E4..

£1299 in UK, where pre Trump the £ price more or less matched the dollar price.
That's about 75% of Xt5 price, about right.
So presumably your other us prices will be higher when tariffs hit the new stock.

In Germany it’s priced €1549 which is about 85% the price of the X-T5. And about 40% more than what I think would be a fair price, given the specs 😄

Too expensive for what it offers if you ask me. In particular the EVF feels like a major let down. For me 40 MP on APS-C is too much, but I understand that they probably need to do this because of the market expectations (probably not a lot of newer sensors at lower MP either).

Once the keen early adopters have had their pre orders offers will be available at more 'sensible' prices.

Why is this $300 more than the X-T50? It’s a bit shorter (viewfinder hump). Are there any other differences?

I was expecting to have a tough decision here, but the X-E5 seems about $400 overpriced to me?

List prices of the X-T50 and X-E5 are identical in the UK.

If the X-T50 was released today in the US it would likely be a lot more expensive.
