XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens The "FUJINON XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ" covers the frequently used focal length from 23mm to 69mm in the 35mm format equivalent and is the smallest and most lightweight interchangeable zoom lens compatible with the "X series". Combine this lens with a Fujifilm compact, lightweight mirrorless digital camera and you can enjoy excellent portability and comfortable shooting. The smallest and lightest weight interchangeable zoom lens for the "X Series" mirrorless digital camera range The composition of 10 lenses in 9 groups, including three aspherical lenses and two ED lenses, provides excellent resolution at all zoom positions, while measuring just 44.2mm long and weighing only 135g. Covers frequently used focal lengths This new lens covers the frequently used focal length from 23mm to 69mm (in 35mm format equivalent) which makes it a suitable lens for shooting both landscape and portrait photography. Because the wide angle end is equivalent to 23mm, this lens will be suitable for capturing self-portraits featuring multiple people or backgrounds when using with a camera with a 180 deg. tilting LCD screen, such as FUJIFILM X-A5. Ability to shoot close-up, 5cm from the lens tip Using the widest angle position, the lens allows photographers to shoot subjects which are around 5cm from the end of the lens, achieving a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.24. This lens is ideal for those wanting to take close-up shots of food, flowers or small accessories. Electric zoom and comfortable operation Creating a small, collapsible lens has been made possible by utilizing an electric zoom. When the camera is switched on, the lens automatically extends ready for shooting. Two different zoom speeds can be selected by the rotating of the zoom ring. The lens moves position at a constant speed, producing smooth zooming motion when shooting movies. Optical image stabilization The electric zoom includes 3.0-stop optical image stabilization technology compatible with CIPA guidelines, which assists photographers shooting in low light conditions.

This started to freeze withing the first few weeks I used it.  When frozen it would not power off and that battery had to be removed to resolve the issue.  On several occasions when the timer was used to take group photos the screen would jump and a pink bar would appear across the lower fifth of the screen.  The resulting photos were not at all in focus.  I enjoyed this camera the couple days that it worked.  I have sent it back and will be receiving a replacement.  Fingers crossed that the next camera is not defective.

Defective

I was sold on the Fuji X system for its QPR (quality/price ratio).  The A-5 is my starting point.  I'll want an E-4 body, assuming there will be one, but I had a reason not to wait for it.  Meanwhile I'm collecting lenses.  The lack of a viewfinder means nothing to me -- I prefer the screen.  Picture quality is as good as I expected, and versatility is better.

Getting started with Fuji X

Awesome camera! Pros:This camera is very handy,i can just put it in my purse and voila,go wherever and take pictures! This is my first mirrorless camera and i can say i love it. I bought it with all the accessories included.

Awesome,handy,less expensive camera!

some problems:  tough to see image when sun hits screen;  my thumb kept slipping onto movies button, just not designed for larger hands....kit lens works, but inadequate for anything but testing....

excellent sensor, mediocre camera, colors not genuine

This camera takes great pictures, lots of detail and good color. I wanted something a bit more compact that my dslr and this fit the bill. build quality is iffy, so time will tell.

Great photos

I bought this camera with the intent of taking photos of my artwork. I have some experience with cameras, having been a videographer and long-time hobby photographer, but confess I'm not as up to date as I really need to be for today's digital world. There are things I like and don't like about this camera. I like the white balance function, to better achieve the correct color of my artwork without having to wait until I can open the file in the computer. I like that it has so many ISO options, and that the view screen is pretty large. I don't like the zoom ring, it's not sensitive enough at the outset, and then as you hold it, it suddenly zooms really fast. That's frustrating. I also don't like that the resolution is so low - 72ppi. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd seen that anywhere; I thought the 24mp image size meant a higher ppi, but no. I kept it because the large size files are adequate for print-on-demand, and that's what I wanted right away...unfortunately, I'll have to find another way to get archive-quality files, not an easy thing to do with large paintings. Anyway, like I said, I have mixed feelings, so I can't recommend or not recommend, it just depends on what you want.

Mixed feelings

Ideal, compact, and adoptable to most situations. I carry it when I don't feel like traveling with my larger camera.

Excellent all around camera

I have always owned Fuji smaller cameras  because of the convenience of carrying them when we travel. Then I purchased  Fuji S1 and did not like it at all. BUT this little surprise will work out just fine. The X-A5 mirrorless camera is fairly light and the ability to change lenses works out great for travel. We also purchased a telephoto lens for it. I believe it is a  Fujifilm XF 55-200mm (83-300mm) F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens. LOVE IT!!!!! LOVE IT!!! Big trip to Italy coming up so that will be the defining moment.. To capture it ALL!!!
