What’s New
Stick or Twist: New Film Simulation Dial “Fujifilm has always been great at designing things that are really beautiful. What it has done with the FUJIFILM X-E5 is include an aluminium top-plate in the design. It makes it feel solid – like a seriously nice piece of kit. “The fact the Film Simulations are incredibly easy to access meant I was much more inclined to switch between them. I have used Fujifilm cameras before where I haven’t done a lot with them, so it was really good to have easy access and see what they did to change the different scenes I was photographing. If you have to go into a menu to find these features, you’re less likely to try them out, but when it’s on the top of the camera, it’s easy to use while the scene is unfolding in front of you.”
Get Your Eye In: Classic Display Mode “When you’re looking through the EVF, it looks just like what you would see in an old film camera. This adds a valuable extra style element to it. That’s something that Fujifilm is so good at – developing the experience for the user. “It’s probably my favourite addition. I’ve recently started using old analogue cameras again simply for the joy of it, so seeing this feature on a new Fujifilm camera was really lovely and makes it feel fun. I would definitely have that setting on all the time.”
A compact, lightweight form factor, along with quick access to iconic looks via the new Film Simulation dial, makes it simpler to frame unique images
