Note: We have fixed the IBIS performance issues when activating in-body correction functions. Now there is no need to turn off the auto corrections for IBIS. But if you prefer to manually set the correction in camera menu, you may still disable the auto corrections. To disable it for individual lens: change the corresponding configuration item’s value to 0.

You can now order the silver Fujifilm X-E5 with XF23mmF2.8 kit at Amazon with expected shipping on October 22-28 (that’s if you order now, because the more orders are place, the more the shipping will be pushed back).
While the shipping of the Fujifilm X-E5 body is proceeding fairly smoothly (both black body and silver body are in stock), the situation is a bit more complicated for the X-E5 with the XF23mm F2.8 kit, which received significantly higher pre-order demand than the body alone.
Well, at least for the silver kit now we have a solid shipping date from Amazon. You can’t pre-order the black kit at Amazon at the moment, though.
We told you that the Fujifilm X-T30 III and XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 will be announced on October 23.
So far Fujifilm has not published any teaser nor made any X Summit announcement, so it might well be a more quiet announcement this time.
That’s an error in my view, as the Fujifilm X-T30 III could turn out to be a very important camera for Fujifilm, since it will be its most affordable 5th gen camera with EVF, closing a huge gap in the current camera lineup.
With that said, some asked me if we can expect more to come.
My answer: so far I have no indication of anything else coming. Not in terms of announcements, development announcements or new lens roadmaps.
And the fact that there is (at least until now), no official X Summit announced, could indicate that October 23 won’t hold any major surprises besides the new gear we mention in this article.
But that’s just a speculation of mine, so don’t crucify me if on October 23 Fujifilm suddenly releases a new roadmap or announces the development of the Fujifilm X-Pro4. In fact, also the Fujifilm GFX Eterna development announcement happened all of a sudden, without any rumors, with a simple press release.
So, everything is still possible.
