The Fujifilm XA5 is an entry-level mirrorless camera aimed at beginners and social photographers, sporting a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, tilting touchscreen, 4k video, Bluetooth and Wifi.

For someone that comes from a cell phone, the XA5 will be a good first camera. For someone who is more use to the performance of a DSLR, higher end mirrorless, the XA5 will be a disappointment. Image quality is good in good light but not stellar and does not blow me away.

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.

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 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.

4K video at 15fps – what's the point; Adequate but unexceptional autofocus; No viewfinder; Can be tricky to hold for one-handed selfies; Sluggish zoom control on 15-45mm kit lens

Two years ago, Fujifilm released the entry-level X-A3 which proved to be a capable mirrorless camera to anyone who wanted to step up from smartphone photography due to its compact body, decent sensor, and affordable price point.

Tilt-type touchscreen display; Bluetooth feature; Compact and lightweight; Great image quality; Improved video quality

Worth waiting on a wait list for this to come in stock. Great camera, neat small easy to handle. I chose the Brown version. The camera is well made, I love the new lens too. Picture quality is excellent, with the usual wonderful Fuji colours.

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.
