The Fujifilm X-E5 with XF23mmF2.8 kit is now in stock at several European stores such as Amazon IT here, and shipping in just a few days at Amazon DE here, Amazon UK here and Amazon FR here,
Also other stores have stock such as WexPhotoVideo UK here, Foto-Erhardt here, 50.8 Shop here, PCHstore here and check out your local store, too.
We’ve criticized Fujifilm plenty over the years for announcing gear they then struggled to deliver. So now that things are finally running a bit more smoothly, I think they deserve some credit for a change.
As for the U.S., there’s no kit stock available yet. But since things are moving along well in Europe, I don’t expect any major hiccups in the U.S. either.
Yes guys, I have received my Fujifilm X-E5 (in this color) and I love it.
It’s by far the most beautiful X-E camera ever made. The build quality is excellent and it makes my X-E3 feel like a plastic toy in comparison. I love the new classic display mode which is now standard on my EVF. Just make sure that you have not enabled “Semi-Transparent” in the surround view mode, otherwise the classic display mode won’t show up. That drove me crazy for a while until I figured it out.
Besides that short freak-out moment (which luckily found a solution), I am absolutely in love with it.
But other fellow Fujifilm X-E5 shooters might be annoyed by other aspects of their X-E5. One of them is Derek, who wrote me the email below.

The 7Aritsans AF 10mm f/2.8 has now been officially unveiled in China as reported by the Chinese social media account of 7Artisans here.
It should soon be available at Amazon here and BHphoto here.

Over the years, Fujifilm has often released statements along the lines of: “Due to high demand, there will be delays in the shipping of camera XY.”
Every time, some people—both in the comments and across other blogs—accused Fujifilm of making this up as a marketing trick.
Here on FujiRumors, I never bought into that narrative. If Fujifilm said demand was overwhelming, I trusted that they were genuinely surprised by the demand.
And the release of the Fujifilm X-E5 has finally proven all those naysayers wrong.
Because if it really were just a marketing move, then why didn’t Fujifilm use the “high demand” excuse for one of its top sellers, like the Fujifilm X-E5?
Well, I think I know why they didn’t: because Fujifilm doesn’t use that phrase as a marketing gimmick, but only when demand truly exceeds expectations.
And this time, with the Fujifilm X-E5, it seems they were much better prepared for the launch.
Sure, the X-E5 with the XF23mmF2.8 kit is almost impossible to find in stock. But that’s no accident. Fujifilm cleverly planned ahead by pushing back the standalone release of the XF23mmF2.8 until the end of 2025. They knew the kit would be the most sought-after version, so whatever production capacity they have for the XF23mmF2.8 is now reserved exclusively for X-E5 bundle buyers.
And yes, the X-E5 body-only units sell out rather fast, but Fujifilm is capable of restocking at a reasonable pace.
So you see, when Fujifilm really says “demand exceeded expectations,” it’s because they’ve genuinely been caught off guard—not because they’re trying to pull a marketing trick on us.
With that said, let’s see how the stock status of the Fujifilm X-E5 is right now.
