The Ricoh GR IV is finally here! 📸 With a new 26MP sensor & 5-axis IBIS, it’s a powerhouse, but is the 20% price hike worth it for current owners? I'm eyeing something else...

📷 Camera Spotlight: Fujifilm X-E5

Lately I’ve been exploring the Fujifilm X-E5 and it’s a camera that balances style, portability and performance really nicely.

🔍 Why it stands out

40.2 MP APS-C X-Trans sensor paired with the X-Processor 5 — excellent detail and low-noise performance.

IBIS (in-body image stabilisation) built in — up to ~7 stops of compensation claimed, making hand-held shooting far more forgiving.

Range-finder inspired design: the form feels classic, tactile and easy to carry; physical dials and a Film Simulation dial that lets you save your custom looks.

Lens flexibility: Unlike fixed-lens comps, this uses the Fuji X-mount so you can adapt lenses as your style evolves.

🎞 Use cases I’d recommend

Street / travel photography: Light enough to sling over shoulder, stealthy range-finder aesthetic.

Everyday carry: For capturing moments without bulky kit.
Creatives who love Fuji’s film simulation modes and want quick access to “out-of-camera” looks.

⚠️ A few caution points

Despite the upgrades, it lacks weather-sealing: so if you’re shooting in rough/weather-heavy environments, take care.

Battery life isn’t the strongest compared to larger, more pro-oriented bodies.

If video is your main use case (especially long sessions), there are more video-centric bodies out there.

🎯 My take

The X-E5 isn’t just “the smallest Fuji with a 40MP sensor” — it’s a thoughtful tool for photographers who value image quality and portability and style. If that sounds like you, it deserves serious consideration.

The Pentax MZ-S is a wild and impressive camera that was Pentax's final professional 35mm offering, and it punches well above its weight!
