In praise of the X-E5

The Fuji X-E5 may not be perfect, but let me tell you, it can do almost anything a professional camera can do….except the controls are prioritized differently.

The camera begs you to shoot in manual like all FUJI cameras do. But what makes the camera so captivating is the overall experience of experimenting with my photos. Changing parameters on the fly…switching recipes…quickly going to B&W withe the 3 filters.

Having interchangeable lenses, sure that’s another plus, but I truly love shooting this camera in black-and-white and there are recipes out there that will actually rival pics from the iconic Leica monochrome cameras.

I believe someday, the E5 will be a legendary camera for Fuji…its size & capabilities are endearing. I truly love my little mighty mite!
