Roadtrip with the new Fujifilm X-E5

It hasn’t been long since the new Fujifilm X-E5 was released, so there’s still a fair level of curiosity about what the overall shooting experience and results are like. So, if you’ve been thinking about this compact camera and whether it fits your current needs — especially if you travel a lot — today’s featured video may have some answers for you. In the quick video above, Los Angeles-based Samuel Elkins shares his first impressions on the Fujifilm X-E5, after going on a roadtrip with the highly anticipated camera. He was also given the chance to pair it with the brand new 23mm f/2.8 pancake lens for a truly compact and lightweight experience. Such a setup simply screams travel, so the idea to take it out on a roadtrip is just perfect. Elkins also gives a brief rundown of the controls and features of the X-E5, what the handling is like, and what’s new with it compared to previous XE models. As he also noted, since you’re able to pair it with other lenses, you’re not limited to using it as a compact travel camera. So, what do you think? Could the new Fujifilm X-E5 be your next compact travel camera? Share your insights with us in the comments below!
