Overall, the ratings are very positive. However, the average score is slightly dragged down by a handful of extremely negative reviews that, frankly, are hard to take seriously.
I mean, these are not really product flaws. You know in advance that the X-E5 has a single card slot—Fujifilm never claimed otherwise. Knocking stars off for something clearly stated in the specs feels unfair. The packaging issue is unfortunate, of course, but that’s more on shipping than on Fujifilm.
It’s like buying a compact car and then leaving a 1-star review because it doesn’t have seven seats.
On the flip side, some customers get it right. At Adorama, one reviewer awarded 5 stars but mentioned they would have preferred an ISO dial instead of the exposure compensation dial. That’s a thoughtful way to review: review the product for what it is, while adding a personal wish list on what would make the camera perfect for him.
In the end, customer reviews are a valuable tool, but it’s worth looking beyond the overall rating and reading individual experiences to get the full picture.
And of course, beyond retailer reviews, there are also in-depth write-ups and YouTube videos—which I’ll share below.

Of course these pages get updated regularly by Fujifilm, and most of them got updates throughout 2025, including the pages in which they talk about autofocus.
But there is much more and I will share just a few topics below.
They cover all sorts of more or less interesting things, such as an updated list of X/GFX lenses made in Japan and they also explain you why your camera takes pictures of something that does not exist (see below) :). They even give you ideas for X half 2-in-1 images.
