3 Months ago I took the Fujifilm X-E5 out for my first impressions and I was pretty critical, and still am critical of some choices. But I needed more time with the camera, and more importantly to really utilize it’s greatest strength (interchangeable lenses) while maintaining X100VI characteristics without many drawbacks. Over those 3 months of shooting with the camera, my frustrations with the camera became less and less, and my appreciation for this camera grew more and more.
