Is this beautiful machined aluminum camera worth the premium, or should you look elsewhere?
In this breakdown, we explore:
Why the X-E5 costs so much more in the US
That gorgeous machined aluminum build and film sim dial

What you’re NOT getting (weather sealing, dual cards, decent battery life)
How it stacks up against the X-T5, Sony A7C II, Canon R8, and X100VI
Who should buy it (and who should definitely pass)
