Fujifilm X-E5 + Sigma AF 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary black

Fujifilm X-E5 (Color: Black)

Classic and modern - the new FUJIFILM X-E5 with 40.2 megapixel sensor, AI autofocus and compact body
Compact in size, strong in performance and clear in design: The new Fujifilm X-E5 expands the successful X series with a model that further develops the characteristic mix of classic, modern design with intuitive operation and advanced image technology.

Weighing just 445 grams*1, the X-E5 is a lightweight mirrorless system camera. At the same time, it offers impressive performance: the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2 and the powerful X-Processor 5 ensure outstanding image quality and fast data processing.

With the X-E5, Fujifilm introduces several innovations to the X-E line. The in-camera five-axis image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 7.0 EV stops in the center of the image and 6.0 EV stops at the edges*3. This ensures razor-sharp images even in low light.
Another new feature is the cover plate, which is made entirely from milled aluminum and ensures a high-quality feel.

The new Classic Display mode*4 offers a reduced, clear viewfinder display, with all important information appearing at the bottom of the image. The body design allows quick access to dials and levers with just one hand, so you can keep your eyes focused on the subject through the viewfinder.
The X-E5 stays true to the style of the X series and consistently develops it further in terms of design and function. Sophisticated technology and elegant design make the camera a tool that appeals to both beginners and experienced photographers - and reawakens the joy of photography.

Stylish design and intuitive operation
The X-E5 is the first model in the X series to feature a top plate precisely milled from solid aluminum.
The characteristic recess at the back emphasizes the high-quality workmanship of the metal body and facilitates access to the control dials - for a user-friendly and comfortable shooting experience.

The newly designed film simulation dial has a precisely manufactured display window that makes the transition to the body appear almost seamless, creating a flawless finish. Personal preferences for film simulation and image quality can also be conveniently stored as film simulation recipes in positions FS1 to FS3.

The design of the X-E5 has been refined down to the last detail. The viewfinder and diopter adjustment are a perfect fit with the Body and blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The targeted refinement of lines and proportions preserves the traditional camera style and gives the body a stylish, contemporary look. A shoulder strap with an elegant rope look rounds off the sophisticated design concept of the camera.

Visual comfort and quick adjustment
The electronic viewfinder offers a retro-minimalist classic display mode reminiscent of old film cameras. The display is limited to the essentials. Together with a body that allows one-handed operation of dials and levers, users can stay in control of the image composition without taking their eyes off the camera.

The X-E5 also has a Surround View function: it shows the area outside the shooting field through semi-transparent areas or lines, depending on the image format. The viewfinder image conveys the feeling of an optical viewfinder, even though it is an electronic one.

A lever on the front of the camera can be used to select the film simulation recipes and control the user-defined display modes, such as changing the VIEW MODE, adjusting the image format or setting the magnification of the digital teleconverter. The camera thus combines versatility with ease of use.

Powerful technology
An improved gyro sensor and an optimized algorithm now detect movements even more precisely and compensate for camera shake particularly effectively. Despite the compact body, the integrated 5-axis stabilization achieves compensation of up to 7.0 EV steps in the center of the image and 6.0 EV steps at the edges - for razor-sharp images in a wide range of situations.

Thanks to the high-resolution "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor, subjects can be enlarged by a factor of 1.4 or 2.0 with the digital teleconverter.

The flip-up monitor can be tilted up to 180 degrees upwards and forwards for creative compositions, from high and low perspectives to selfies.
The X-E5 records video in 6.2K/30P and offers tracking autofocus for smooth focus tracking and smooth, high-quality moving images.

High image quality and fast autofocus
The fifth generation of the X series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor. Advanced image processing algorithms ensure high resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

An improved pixel structure enables a higher light yield and makes ISO 125 available as the standard sensitivity. This results in particularly detailed images with reduced noise. In the previous model*5, this value could only be used via the extended sensitivity range.
The electronic shutter allows ultra-short exposure times of up to 1/180,000 second and therefore extremely precise exposure control.

The autofocus system of the X-E5 offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. Developed using deep learning technology, the algorithm not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones*6 in focus. A new AF algorithm improves tracking performance on moving subjects and increases autofocus precision in low-contrast scenes.

Lightweight and compact through and through, yet featuring an F2.8 aperture
Easier to carry without compromising performance: a new standard for APS-C telephoto zoom lenses
The versatile 35mm-equivalent zoom range of approximately 75 to 180mm, the constant F2.8 maximum aperture, the uncompromising optical performance, and the extensive shooting features are all housed in a body that is just 99 mm long and weighs only^{390 g*1}. As a result, the Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS Contemporary meets all the requirements for high mobility and portability expected of an APS-C telephoto zoom lens. At the same time, it sets new standards in its class in terms of both performance and features. This makes it the must-have telephoto zoom lens for APS-C cameras.

A high-performance F2.8 zoom lens series ranging from wide-angle to telephoto
The Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS Contemporary expands the already available series of fast F2.8 zoom lenses—the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary and the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary—extends the range to the telephoto end. This covers an enormous focal length range from ultra-wide-angle to telephoto. All three lenses together weigh less than 1 kg. This makes it possible to assemble a high-performance yet exceptionally portable camera system.

Uncompromising optical performance and extensive shooting functions
Sophisticated optical design
The meticulously engineered optical design of the Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS Contemporary, consisting of one FLD glass element, three SLD glass elements, and four aspherical elements arranged in an optimal configuration, enables a combination of high optical performance and a compact design. A wide variety of optical aberrations are superbly corrected to deliver consistently strong optical performance with exceptionally high contrast across the entire zoom range—from the center to the edges of the image.

An image effect that only a telephoto lens can achieve
The distinctive bokeh and the perspective compression typical of a telephoto lens
—which is already quite pronounced at 180mm (35mm equivalent)—open up a wide range of creative possibilities for the
Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS | Contemporary a wide range of creative possibilities.
These range from expressive portraits, in which the subject is clearly set apart from the
background, to flat product photos, in which the
perspective can be deliberately shaped.

Minimized Focus Breathing
The Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS | Contemporary was designed so that a
change in the angle of view during focusing—known as focus breathing—
is virtually nonexistent. This ensures very natural-looking focus tracking during
video recording.

Comfortable Photography and Filming
Features for comfortable work
In addition to the high-speed autofocus driven by an HLA linear motor (High-response Linear Actuator), the Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS | Contemporary features an image stabilizer with the OS2 algorithm. This extends the range for handheld shooting by up to 6.5 stops at the wide end and up to 4.5 stops at^the telephoto^end*2. As a result, the lens combines two key features required for demanding telephoto photography into a well-balanced and compact body.
