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.

SonyAlphaRumors leaked is the press text for the new Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 APS-C E-mount lens that will be announced on June 17.
