Back in 2023 we already told you about the dedicated Fujifilm FAQ page, in which Fujifilm answers all sorts of questions:
Of course these pages get updated regularly by Fujifilm, and most of them got updates throughout 2025, including the pages in which they talk about autofocus.
But there is much more and I will share just a few topics below.
They cover all sorts of more or less interesting things, such as an updated list of X/GFX lenses made in Japan and they also explain you why your camera takes pictures of something that does not exist (see below) :). They even give you ideas for X half 2-in-1 images.

Some Selected Questions
Do you know what the awesome Fujifilm X100VI and the new Fujifilm X half have in common?
Both cameras are fueling a surprising comeback for compact digital cameras.
In fact, according to Price.com data (via デジカメinfo), interest in this category is rising fast — with monthly visits now surpassing 400,000 after years of decline.
The big driver of this revival in compact camera interest is Fujifilm.
The launch of the X100VI in March 2024 and the X half in June 2025 boosted Fujifilm to the #1 spot in Price.com’s rankings.
But it’s not just Fujifilm.
Panasonic Lumix models, Nikon compacts, and even Kodak cameras have seen renewed attention, proving that stylish, easy-to-carry cameras still have a place in a smartphone-dominated world.
Mentioned by photo.com are:
For years the data told the same story: smartphones were killing the compact camera market, and most of us accepted it as inevitable. But Fujifilm has just proven us wrong.
But with all that talk about Fujifilm’s success as far as compact cameras goes, there is one camera that they refuse to update… and it would be their most awesome ultra-compact camera ever.
Nikkei has published the global shipment numbers of digital cameras sold in 2024. The numbers are based on data from CIPA and JEITA and have been reported by the Japanese website dclife.
Here are the numbers:
Mirrorless + DSLR Camera Shipments
2024
Note that the Canon DSLR cameras are still outselling Fujifilm mirrorless camera sales (790,000 vs 490,000 units). Most of those DSLR cameras are cheap Canon Rebel & Co cameras.
What this tells us: there are lots of people who still enter a camera/electronic store and want an “affordable camera that takes better pictures than my phone“.
Right now, Fujifilm is falling short in this segment: the X-E5 and X-T50 are priced too high, while the X-M5 lacks a viewfinder — a feature many still consider essential for a “serious” camera. The upcoming Fujiflm X-T30 III, however, could be exactly the model to fill that gap — provided Fujifilm keeps it in the true entry-level range, which will largely depend on the features they choose to include.
Mirrorless Cameras Shipments
Mirrorless is growing for all brands, but Fujifilm has experienced the strongest growth of all.
The chart here is probably for interchangable lens cameras, because dclife has a separate ranking for “compact cameras” like the Fujifilm X100VI and Ricoh GR series. But maybe it includes also the compact cameras, we don’t know that.

Compact Cameras Shipments
Fujifilm has increased its shipments from 50,000 units to 130,000 units. And the number could have been significntly higher if cameras like the X100VI were not in short supply in 2024. It is not known if also Instax cameras are included in this data.
Only Ricoh and Fujifilm are able to grow in the compact camera segment.
