Fujifilm’s latest teaser, released just before the official announcement tomorrow at 5 am, provides a detailed look at the film simulation window that we first learned about the other day. We also get confirmation that all the expected dials will be on the lens and that the new 23mm pancake will be f/2.8. The Fujifilm X-E5 is going to be a good-looking camera, but the price is going to be very hard to swallow, especially since you can buy an X-T5 for the same price.
When mirrorless cameras first started coming out, rangefinder styling was popular, but mirrorless cameras adopted SLR styling for flagship cameras in order to help photographers transition from their SLR to a mirrorless camera system. If the Fujifilm X-E5 sells better than the X-T5 it could be the beginning of the end of SLR styling, which I wouldn’t mind, but I wish the X-E5 were coming with weather sealing and something to make it more attractive to X-T5 owners.
