Fujifilm X-T6 with Back-Illuminated Dials :: Dreams of Fujifilm X-T5S :: How to Re-Do the GFX :: and More :: FR-Reader Wishlist Corner

Time to catch up and share a FR-reader wishlist corner post.

by Chris

Once upon a time (2010?), Fujifilm launched the second version of a 3D camera, the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3.

Stereo enthusiasts still regard this as a high point but of course its specifications (especially the sensors) are now very dated.

Do you think there is ANY CHANCE Fujifilm might produce a new version, almost certainly with enhanced video capabilities for viewing on 3D display laptops, AR/MR/VR headsets and more traditional ways?

There have been “Mickey Mouse” 3D cameras launched recently, but they are more toys than proper cameras, see e.g. XREAL Beam Pro.

Nostalgia Meets Utility: Thumb Winder on Fujifilm X-Pro4 and More Wishlists and Ideas for the Next X-Pro

X-Pro4

We just shared an article about a guy, who added a dumb-thumb-winder to this Fujifilm X100VI.

In that article I said that I personally would be happy to see an X half alike winding lever also on the Fujifilm X-Pro4.

Of course this was a very divisive opinion and I thought let’s vote on it.

And speaking of X-Pro4, after the survey I will share a few FR-readers wishlists and a video about it.

And if you think my thumb-winder idea for X-Pro4 is controversial, then you better skip the video of Luca Petralia ;).

Would you like a Multifunctional Thumb Winder on the Fujifilm X-Pro4

For X-Pro3 successor: Blocking systems for all dials (especially the exposure one), a more usable hidden screen, a frame for 18mm in the OVF, and real coverage or framing (currently I think there’s a 10% gap), a better viewfinder for glasses holders (may they be prescription or solar) and a smart protection for the sensor when changing lenses, like the lock system in Mamiya’s twin lens.

Xpro4 – add 4-way control back to this camera (and to x100v ); vastly improve optical viewer magnification or remove entirely; reduce overall body size if possible.

Fujifilm X-E5 Pre-Orders Exceptionally Strong (Report) – And Here is the Most Popular Version

I recently reported that initial pre-orders for the Fujifilm X-E5 are twice as high as those for the X-T5—which is pretty wild. Of course, it’s important to remember that pre-orders don’t equal sales, and some cancellations are to be expected.

Still, it seems FujiRumors isn’t living in some alternate reality where the X-E5 is a hit while it flops elsewhere. In fact, the German site Photografix picked up our article and confirmed the same trend: X-E5 pre-orders are exceptionally strong on their end too, as you can read here.

So, which X-E5 version is proving most popular? Here’s the current breakdown of pre-orders at B&H:

So a total of 80% went for the X-E5 with XF23mmF2.8 lens, and 20% with the X-E5 body only. I guess I am in the minority then.

Well, I guess this explains why the XF23mmF2.8 R WR lens will ship only in December: Fujifilm has to make sure to have enough lenses to ship as a kit for the X-E5.

As far as color goes, 40% went for the silver X-E5 and 60% for the black X-E5.

I personally went for this color here.

Given the circumstances, I guess that placing an order for the X-E5 early might not be a bad idea, if you are interested in getting one still in 2025.

Catch the Fujifilm X-E5, Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 & More at B&H Bild Expo Tomorrow

The B&H Photo Bild Expo NYC is staring tomorrow, June 17 (ends June 18).

It is 100% confirmed that the Fujifilm X-E5 and XF23mmF2.8 will be for display at the Bild Expo and it will therefore be your first chance to go hands on with Fujifilm’s latest gear.

And I think you’ll also have the chance to play around with the new Fujifilm X half.

But since also Sigma sponsors the event, I am pretty confident that you’ll also be able to go hands on with the brand new Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART, since the lens will also be announced tomorrow, June 17 at 1AM New York time, so right before BH Bild Expo opens its doors.

If you are in the area, definitely go and check out the BHphoto Bild Expo. Register for free here.
