Is the X-E5 worth it over the X-T5?

If you want the smallest body with the same 40MP sensor and stabilization, yes. The X-T5 gives a bigger viewfinder and a tilting screen for those who prioritize handling.

Does it have in-body stabilization?

Yes. IBIS steadies handheld shots with any X Mount lens, which matters most with the slow f/2.8 pancake.

What lens comes with it?

The kit pairs the body with the 23mm f/2.8 pancake, a 35mm-equivalent prime. It is compact but not fast in low light.

Can it shoot 6.2K video?

Yes, it records 6.2K and 4K in MOV and MP4. It is a capable hybrid body, though the small body limits long handheld takes.

The camera body, the 23mm lens, a battery, a charger or USB cable, a strap and the manual. A memory card is not included.

Is the viewfinder electronic?

Yes, it uses an electronic viewfinder with a rangefinder-style corner position. It is smaller than the X-T5's.
