Look Fujifilm: the X-T5 Actually Sells Well Now that Orders are Open Again in Japan

Share

Did you notice Fujifilm?

People actually buy your cameras, if you allow us to buy them :).

Now, sorry for this rather polemical intro, but Fujifilm deserves it a little bit.

In fact, for about 1 year, the Fujifilm X-T5 was not really available for order in Japan.

But just last months, on December 15 (1+ year after announcement), Fujifilm resumed sales for X-T5 in Japan.

And guess what happened?

In just 15 days the X-T5 jumped on the 6th spot of the Mapcamera ranking (one of the largest stores in Japan).

“Forgotten Negative” Film Simulation Recipe

Forgotten Negative

As I am writing this, I am on a bus ride back home.

Just to pass some time, I decided to scroll through the images shared at our Fujifilm Film Simulation group.

During my scoling, I stumbled on a post by Timothy (Instagram), who shared some lovely images taken with his own film simulation recipe that he calls “Forgotten Negative“.

You can find sample images in the posts below.

I love the look of the sample images and I thought it’s something you might want to try out.

In fact, I am programming it now also on my Fujifilm X-T5 while sitting in the bus and I have taken my first Forgotten Negative image just from the bus window. Can’t wait to try it out more in the next days.

Godox V1 Pro Leaked

The first images of the upcoming Godox V1 Pro have now leaked.

I guess that’s part of the reason why now you can get the Godox V1 at a discounted price.

Why “Fujifilm X100VI” is Best Name for the New X100 Camera

Fujifilm X100VI – The Best Choice

So we told you that the successor of the Fujifilm X100V will be called Fujifilm X100VI.

Now, according to our survey, 80% of you thought that other names would have been more appropriate.

And you know what?

I agree that Fujifilm could have been more creative with the name. And certainly they had lots of creative options on the table.

My new favourite (as suggest by a FR-reader): X100-00S, where “00S” stands for “out-of-stock” :).

But why did they go with “Fujifilm X100VI” then?

Well, because at the end of the day, from a business (and not creative) point of view, it’s by far the best choice.

Let me tell you why.
