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.

Strong image quality; Bundled with compact power zoom lens; Built-in flash and hot shoe; Dual control dials; Flip-up touch LCD; Microphone input; Wi-Fi

Inconsistent focus speed; 4K video limited to 15fps; No 30fps option for 1080p video; No EVF

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 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 Fujifilm X-A5 isn't really designed for experienced photographers, but rather for Instagramers, lifestyle photographers and ‘life-loggers' who want a step up in quality and features from a smartphone – and the X-A5 certainly delivers on that front.

Great selfie mode with Eye AF; Excellent image quality; Sharp; clear shots even in poor light; Fujifilm's Film Simulation modes; Effective dynamic range expansion

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.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the DPR studio scene comparison tool and happened to notice that the X-A5, for some reason, seemed to have an unusually sharp image along with very low noise at around 1600 or so.

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...

by William Brawley | Posted 07/03/2018 Although Fujifilm makes some expensive X Series cameras, it hasn't forgotten about the entry-level or budget-conscious out there. Coming in right at $600 with a kit lens, the Fujifilm X-A5 is one of Fuji's most affordable X Series mirrorless cameras.
