It’s Compact and Discreet
To make it even less apparent you are taking photos, you can use the X-E5’s tilting LCD monitor to frame up at waist level and switch to the silent electronic shutter. The X-E5 is also available as a kit with the FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR, a powerful yet subtle combination that’s ideally suited to photographers who want to remain inconspicuous. Only 23mm long, this 90g pancake lens forms a potent pairing with the X-E5 that weighs 535g in total – including battery and card – great for long days of walking and waiting.
Generally speaking, a street photographer seeks out candid, spontaneous moments of everyday life. Fundamental to this goal is the need to not stand out, so using a smaller camera that flies under the radar is a great starting point. Measuring only 124.9x72.9x39.1mm (WxHxD), the X-E5’s design is based on vintage, compact rangefinder cameras. It’s small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and, when paired with the right lens, is unobtrusive enough to let you create authentic, unposed images.
