“On the bottom of the camera, we have a standard quarter 20 mount, the battery door for the W126S battery, and the single UHS-II SD card slot.” — Brandon Y Lee
EVF & LCD

“Now, another thing you lose is you don't have the optical viewfinder.” — Alex Armitage
Handling
52 pos · 19 neu · 16 neg
“You do lose some of that minimalist styling, but I do find that it is a more comfortable camera to hold, although it's not as comfortable as something like the XS20 or the XT5.” — Andy Mumford
Burst & Buffer
24 pos · 35 neu · 18 neg
“When it comes to still photography, the camera can shoot at up to 13 frames per second with its electronic shutter or 8 frames per second with the mechanical shutters.” — Christopher Frost
Video Capability
24 pos · 39 neu · 8 neg
“So, I was obviously recently in Europe and I highly despise traveling with a drone, so I just grabbed a few 4K aerial shots straight from Story Blocks.” — Gerard Needham
Sensor Performance

“When you crop into the sensor, you're cropping into the megapixels and you're cropping into the noise.” — cammackey

Price & Value
17 pos · 21 neu · 15 neg
“A lot of increasingly expensive cameras that aren't bringing as much increase in value to the table.” — avdidit
Build Quality
28 pos · 8 neu · 13 neg
“Honestly, I would have much rather seen Fujifilm put that R&D and cost into refining the build quality.” — FilmedByFresh
Stabilization

“Hi, I'm Gordon from Camera Labs and this is my review of the Fujifilm XE5, a mid-range mirrorless camera with a 40 megapixel APS-C sensor, viewfinder, and built-in stabilization.” — Gordon Laing
Dimensions
14 pos · 14 neu · 2 neg
“I haven't tried that because I don't have a wide enough lens, but I think it's definitely doable and I think it would be such an amazing pocketable camera to go on a weekend away or even a longer getaway.” — OpticalWander
Battery Life
6 pos · 13 neu · 7 neg
“The battery life, it's a little bit more efficient than the XC4, which I like, but still it doesn't have the battery life of the X-T4 or the XH2 or the XH2S or cameras like that, or the XT5 for that matter, which I can use one battery.” — Jason Berkman
Autofocus
10 pos · 8 neu · 6 neg
“To maximize battery life, I turn off pre-AF, disable subject detection when I don't need it, switch off the AF assist lamp and touchscreen, and use the mechanical shutter instead of the electronic shutter whenever possible.” — Louscapes
Weight & Portability
10 pos · 5 neu · 2 neg
“So, when Fujifilm Canada reached out, I said, "Sure, it goes back when I'm done." Now, this nice little camera weighs 445 gram with battery and card.” — Maarten Heilbron
Connectivity

“And, if I do have a bigger job where I need tethering, I'm probably going to use one of my other cameras for that.” — Mitch Lally
