Fujifilm X-E5 and XF23/2.8 Official Teaser: “An Essential X Series Rangefinder-Style Camera is Coming”

Share

Fujifilm has just released a teaser video (see below) for the upcoming Fujifilm X-E5, set to be officially announced on June 12 at 5AM New York time. In the video, Fujifilm says:

there is another rangefinder-style series that’s just as essential when telling the story of our X series history

I am so happy to hear these words from Fujifilm. The Fujifilm X-E line is my favorite in the lineup, and the fact that they now call it “essential” for the X series somehow touches me, especially considering how close it once came to being discontinued.

I think I’m emotional about this video because it feels like a promise: a sign that Fujifilm is committed to continuing the X-E series going forward. And the X-E line is a huge reason why still I shoot Fujifilm today.

Sorry for this little rush of emotions. Let me recollect myself and focus on rumors.

And what we can see based on the underexposed image shared by Fujifilm is… well, actually not much.

  • I guess we can see a command dial on the front
  • maybe there is an X100VI alike viewfinder selector on the front, just as the Fujifilm GFX100RF has it. If that’s true, then it will probably work like on the GFX100RF
  • if that’s the XF23mmF2.8 pancake lens mounted on the X-E5, then we can say it is really super compact. Probably weighting around 80 gram, so more or less like the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8

These are not rumors, just speculation based on the image shared by Fujifilm.

And yes, we rumored it has a film simulation dial in addition to existing X-E4 dials. But on these images we can’t notice anything. But it has to be somewhere on the Fujifilm X-E5.

Made-in-Japan Fujifilm X100VI, X-T5, X-T50, and X-M5 Now Available to Order at B&H Photo

Share

To avoid steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made goods, Fujifilm is relocating production of the Fujifilm X100VI, X-T5, X-T50 and X-M5 for the U.S. market from China to Japan.

This is why now B&H photo is listing the Japan made Fujifilm X100VI, X-T5, X-T50 and X-M5 on their website, and they are marking the Chinese versions as discontinued.

Interestingly they say all this made in Japan gear will be available in 7-14 days (X100VI included).
