Fujifilm X-E5 + Sigma AF 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN 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.

The small, flexible "always-on" Lenses! Specially manufactured for Fujifilm cameras with an APS-C sensor, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary covers a range of applications - from landscape and architecture photography, portraits and street photography to macro photography. With a weight of just 290g and a robust construction, it makes no compromises in terms of image quality. It is perfect for on the go and always produces beautiful shots, even in low light conditions!

Powerful autofocus
No matter what the application - nobody wants to miss the perfect moment. The autofocus of the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 scores in all the criteria you would expect from a reliable autofocus. It is fast, precise and almost silent, which is mainly thanks to the built-in stepper motor. Whether portraits of your loved ones or the lively chaos of an unfamiliar city - with this flexible standard zoom you can reliably capture every moment!

Impressive image quality
The optical construction of the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Fujifilm X consists of 13 elements in 10 groups, including three high-precision, blank-pressed aspherical lenses. In addition, there is a super multi-layer coating (SML) and in-camera correction, which largely minimizes aberrations such as chromatic aberrations, vignetting, ghosting, etc. The result is outstanding image quality. The result is outstanding image quality and photos that impress with their clarity, sharpness and richness of contrast!

Beautiful bokeh
Thanks to its consistently high speed of f/2.8 and 7 built-in aperture blades, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary produces a round, soft bokeh, while the subject in the foreground remains razor-sharp.

An absolute lightweight!
One point in which the Sigma standard zoom particularly excels is its exceptionally small design and low weight. It measures just under 7.5cm in length and weighs just 290g. The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary fits in any pocket and is the perfect companion for anyone who prefers to travel without a heavy backpack.

Further functions of the standard zoom
The Sigma standard zoom is kept rather simple and has no other controls apart from the handy zoom and focus ring. For this Lenses, Sigma has deliberately opted for materials that keep the weight low but still ensure robustness. The barrel is made of polycarbonate TSC, while metal was chosen for the internal components. In addition, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary is dust and splash-proof, making it extremely durable despite its compactness and allowing it to be used reliably even in difficult conditions!

What's behind the name?
Contemporary
Sigma's Contemporary product line offers high-performance all-round Lenses for everyday use, combining high optical quality with a compact design and low weight. The product line includes standard, telephoto and zoom Lenses that are suitable for a wide range of applications, from Schnappschuss and landscape photography to travel photography.
DC
Sigma's DC Lenses are specially adapted to the requirements of digital cameras with a sensor size in the so-called APS-C format. You should therefore not use DC Lenses on digital cameras with sensors larger than 23.5 x 15.7mm or analog cameras, as this will inevitably result in vignetting in the corners of the image. Some so-called full-frame cameras automatically reduce the sensor size to the required format when a DC Lenses is detected. Despite their low weight and compact size, DC Lenses offer impressive image quality that more than meets the requirements of digital SLR cameras in APS-C format.
DN
High-performance lenses developed exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The latest technology in lens development ensures high optical performance, a compact design and quiet autofocus. The outstanding telecentricity guarantees sharp and high-resolution image quality across the entire image plane.
ASP
Normally, light rays close to the edge of a lens are refracted more strongly towards the center than light rays close to the axis. Images taken with an uncorrected system can therefore be blurred towards the edge. The aspherical correction of an optical system now eliminates numerous imaging errors at once. Sharpness is achieved across the entire field of view, distortion is reduced to a minimum and the Lenses can be made smaller and lighter due to our advanced correction methods. Almost all of our Lenses are equipped with at least one aspherical lens element.
IF
With internally focused Lenses, only one or more lens groups are moved inside the Lens to focus. As with rear-focus Lenses, this results in many advantages: Internal focusing ensures faster and quieter focusing. With IF lenses, the overall length of the Lenses remains constant during focusing and the front element does not rotate, which allows you to conveniently use polarizing filters and a tulip-shaped lens hood. As the overall length of the Lenses remains constant during focusing, there is no noticeable weight shift when focusing with this system. As a result, the Lenses is well balanced at all times.
