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.
