TO THE SOURCES: Thanks for sharing and for giving yourself a nickname. By using the rumor box I can’t contact you back, so in case you decide to share anything in future, feel free to specify what can be shared on FujiRumors and what not. There is always the 100% anonymous Signal option. This way you are anonymous, but at the same time we can chat and exchange information and also see what to share and how to share it. But also using rumor box is fine and highly appreciated. Thanks for the help. :)

Fujifilm X-E5 – This is When it Will Be Announced!

Share

It is a vibrant excitement and a vivid joy that I come to you to announce you when Fujifilm’s masterpiece, the Fujifilm X-E5, will be announced.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-E5 will be announced in June.

The Fujifilm X-E4 will go down as the most epic failure of Fujifilm. Not because nobody wanted it. On the contrary, lots of people wanted one, but Fujifilm totally failed to deliver, so much so that they discontinued the X-E4 even before they where able to ship out all pre-ordered cameras.

The obvious consequence: second hand price for X-E4 skyrocketed to a price higher than the original launch price.

I hope Fujifilm has learned the lesson.

I hope they understood that the demand for the Fujifilm X-E5 will be huge.

And I hope they will have prepared accordingly.

Fujifilm X Half Additional Spy Photo and (Short) Video

Share

FR-reader Rodrigo was strolling with his gear through a city we won’t mention here, when he casually took pictures of a person walking around with a pre-production Fujifilm X Half.

In order not to put that person into any trouble, we decided not to disclose the identity of the person with the Fujifilm X Half.

You can see the picture above (heavily cropped).

Also, FR-reader Joinen has found the video that lead to the hands-on leaked image of the Fujifilm X Half. He shared it with me via email as well as on X. You can see the video below.

The Fujifilm X Half is already listed at B&H Photo, but will be announced officially only on May 22 at 1AM New York time.
