How the Fujifilm X-H Line SAVED the Fujifilm X-T5
The Fujifilm X-T line was never ment to be a flagship.
And how do I know?
Well, I tell you now…
The Fujifilm X-T line was never ment to be a flagship.
And how do I know?
Well, I tell you now…
It’s not a dealbreaker, but a dubious choice Fujifilm made: on the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2, the front and rear command dial are not clickable.
From what I have read, this was done to prevent accidental change of ISO value, and some even say it helps for even better weather sealing.
Quite frankly, none of these explanations convinces me.
And this is why, when I asked what you’d like to know about the Fujifilm X-T5, the question if the X-T5 will have clickable dials or not came up quite a bit.
Well, today I can give you the answer: the Fujifilm X-T5 front and rear command dial will be still clickable.
Personally I am very happy about that.

Sony is fantastic!
Nikon is awesome!
Canon is king!
Panasonic is smart!
Olympus is my secret love!
Each one of the brands listed above has some features I’d love to see on my Fujifilm cameras.
May it be…
But there is one feature, that I hope I’ll never see on any Fuji camera… and it’s was first offered by Canon and other brands like Sony followed.
And since once again this came up in the comments such as here, I thought I might address it one time in a dedicated article.
When I told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be smaller than the Fujifilm X-T4, some of you understood that this might be the reason why it won’t shoot 8K video (smaller bodies struggle more with heat management than bigger bodies).
But others were worried that the Fujifilm X-T5 won’t even offer 6K video.
So I am glad to report that, despite getting smaller, the Fujifilm X-T5 will still be able to shoot 6K video, more precisely 6K/30p.
So yes, it is not 8K, but 6K should be a pretty decent format for most video uses anyway.
The X-T5 is still a very nice hybrid camera.

Fujifilm seems to be in a hurry with the Fujifilm X-T5.
We told you Fujifilm will announce the Fujifilm X-T5 (and XF30mmF2.8 Macro) on November 2 and in fact it is now official as the Fujifilm X summit has been annouced. That’s per se surprising, as they never launched camera gear in November.
But it gets even better.
Fujifilm will start shipping the Fujifilm X-T5 already in mid November, which means just about 2 weeks after its announcement. I can’t remember Fujifilm ever start to ship gear as fast.
Fujifilm X-T5 rumors recap:
I have read speculation about Fujifilm not offering pixel shift on the Fujifilm X-T5 in order to differentiate it even further from the Fujifilm X-H2 and keep pushing sales of their higher end X-H line.
So I investigated and our sources would like to reassure us future X-T5 owners that these speculations are not accurate.
The Fujifilm X-T5 will offer pixel shift, hence it will have the capability to take 160 megapixel images. And of course this means also that the X-T5 has sensor shift stabilization (IBIS), which is needed for pixel shift.
Fujifilm X-T5 rumors recap:
Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm X-H2s.
It is mostly about proper support for the Fujifilm FT-XH file transmitter grip, which starts shipping in these days, but there are also some bug fixes.
You can check out all details below.
Our rumors have now been confirmed: Fujifilm officially said that they will announce “new gear” on November 2.
The official announcement is coming first from Fujifilm Italy. It will happen at 2PM Rome time.
What’s coming?
Well, thanks to FujiRumors you are well informed. The main course of the meal will be of course:
And what else?
I don’t know, but Fujifilm always comes up with some nice surprises for us. So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors, as we will live stream the event here on FujiRumors.

I must say that I am a bit relieved to hear (and share) this rumor, because it is going to save me hundreds of dollars ;)
The Fujifilm X-T5 will have dual SD-card slots (no CFexpress compatibility).
For my type of shooting (no crazy ultra high fps bursts), UHS-II SD-Cards are fast enough to have a smooth and pleasing shooting experience.
So when I get my Fujifilm X-T5, I won’t have to spend more money into CFexpress cards. I just use the plenty of SD-Cards I already have at home.
But I am curious to hear what you guys think about it. Maybe for some of you this is a dealbreaker?
Fujifilm X-T5 rumors recap:
Yesterday I leaked the mock-ups of the Fujifilm X-T5, which you can see here.
You can notice that the mock-ups show a D-Pad and a dedicated manual MCS switch (as opposed to the X-H2/S, which have an FN button there)
Since I never specifically rumored the D-Pad and MCS switch, quite often the question came up in the comments asking me if this means that MCS and D-pad are confirmed. So let me answer this very clearly in a dedicated article: yes, the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a manual MCS switch and a D-Pad.
