The decision is made.
I’m going to pre-order the Fujifilm X-E5 the very moment it’s listed online. And then, well… I’ll probably wait eight months to actually get it 😄.
The color? I think I’ll go with this color this time – it will be the first time I get an X-E camera in that color. Things need to change a bit sometimes :).
Why?
At the risk of sounding shallow — but I’ll be honest — it’s mostly because of its sheer beauty.
Yes, the specs are fantastic: a 40MP sensor, IBIS, subject detection… all of that makes it an incredibly capable camera.
But those features come second. The real reason? It’s just gorgeous. In my eyes, one of the most beautiful digital cameras ever made.
And there’s another reason that caught me by surprise: the film simulation dial.
It’s so cleverly integrated, and I love the fact that you can assign three custom film simulation recipes to it.
I already know which two recipes I’ll use to start with… and I’ll see what to put on the thrid one:
So no, I don’t need the X-E5.
But yes — I want it.
And this time, that’s reason enough. Especially considering how crazy my last 12 months were.
And as the wise old saying goes (which I totally just made up to justify my purchase): If the past year’s been rough, treat yourself with new stuff. And who am I to ignore such timeless wisdom? 😉
But the question now is: will you get one for yourself?
And if so, in which color?
I’ll go with this one. But I am curious to see which version is your favorite.
