Should I upgrade from the Fujifilm X-E4 to the Fujifilm X-E5?
Upgrading is likely worth it. Both use the Fujifilm X mount, so your lenses fit directly.
What you gain
- 40MP instead of 26.1MP
- cleaner high ISO
- in-body stabilisation
- 4 years of newer processing and autofocus (2021 → 2025)
What you give up
- weaker video (6.2K 30p vs 4K 30p)
- a heavier body (445g vs 364g)
What it costs
| X-E5 new | £1,399 |
| X-E5 used (MPB, typical) | £1,030 |
| Your X-E4 trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £420 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £610 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.

Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade from the Fujifilm X-E4 to the Fujifilm X-E5?
The upgrade is likely worth it. You gain 40MP instead of 26.1MP, cleaner high ISO, in-body stabilisation, 4 years of newer processing and autofocus (2021 → 2025), but you lose weaker video (6.2K 30p vs 4K 30p) and a heavier body (445g vs 364g).
How much does it cost to upgrade from the X-E4 to the X-E5?
The X-E5 costs £1,399 new and about £1,030 used at MPB. Trading in a used X-E4 might bring roughly £420, so the net cost is around £610 buying used (a rough estimate: get quotes from MPB, Wex and Park Cameras).
Will my X-E4 lenses work on the X-E5?
Both use the Fujifilm X mount, so your lenses fit directly.
