The Fujifilm X-A5 is the most entry-level mirrorless camera from Fujifilm, falling below all X-E and X-T family members, both in terms of price and performance. Just looking at images from the X-A5 though, one would be surprised these come from such a low-cost digital camera.

Extremely low image noise until ISO 1600; Good dynamic-range; Nicely saturated colors; Sharp LCD with good viewing angle; Minimal shutter-lag; Generally responsive; High number of external controls; Good battery-life

Tendency to over-expose; Strong noise-reduction; Slow autofocus; Less than 100% LCD coverage; Poor Auto WB; Not Exposure-Priority; Below average shot-to-shot speeds; 2s Video capture delay

The Fujifilm X-A5 gives entry-level buyers access to the excellent X-mount lens system and brings very strong image quality to the table thanks to its 24MP image sensor and Fuji's processing engine.

The Fujifilm X-A5 succeeds the Fujifilm X-A3 that was released towards the end of 2016 as the entry point to Fujifilm's X-series mirrorless range. It's primarily designed to appeal to vloggers and casual photographers looking to take their first step up from the camera that's on their smartphone.

Great image quality; Generously featured for the price; Stylish and easy to use; Good variety of film simulation modes

No electronic viewfinder; 4K video quality is underwhelming; Kit zoom is fiddly and feels plasticky; Some settings/features are buried within the menu

The new Fujifilm X-A5 replaces the 18-month-old Fujifilm X-A3, which used to be Fuji's entry-level X-Series camera until the X-A10 was launched. For consistency, we'll maintain the X-A5 as an entry-level camera. So what is new 18-months on Not as much as we would hope.

The Fujifilm X-A5 sports an APS-C CMOS sensor, offers a touchscreen and manages to take some very good looking photos

Good high ISO performance; Light and easy to use; Good battery life

Kit lens focusses slowly; Burst mode not very fast; AF tracking unreliable

This camera produces the best color images I've seen! The price was great and I love the retro look! I highly recommend it!

The Fujifilm X-A5 is the latest entry-level mirrorless camera from Fujifilm, yet offers advanced features including full manual controls, a flash hot-shoe, and raw shooting. It's also easy to use with a 3inch tilting touch-screen, and the screen can be tilted 180 degrees so you can use it for...

Excellent colour reproduction; Great noise performance; Compact 15-45mm kit lens; Face / eye detection focus; Mic socket

15fps 4K video; Limited ISO range when shooting raw; Menus feel slow at times

The X-A5 is a nice little snapshooters' camera that provides above-average resolution for stills capture across a decent range of ISO settings. The flip-up monitor works well for ‘selfies' and the touch screen is easy to use, although recording movies can become a point-and-pray exercise in bright...
