Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-H2.
You can find all details and download links down below.
Ah, remember the good times called “2022” when Fujifilm dropped three higher end APS-C cameras within 8 months?
Well, 2023 is still long, so let’s hope in awesome new gear to drop also this year.
But until then, let’s look back at the Fujifilm X awesomeness of 2022 and dedicate a roundup to the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2s.
In addition to the ones that already run since a while and expire on April 16, Fujfiilm Europe has launched new deals that include the Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-H2s. Down below is the full list.

It’s true, the Fujifilm X100V is hard to find these days.
But it’s actually much worst than that.
I took a look at all Fujifilm camera lines (the ones that survived, not the ones axed by Fujifilm), and we can see that the X100V enjoys great company when it comes to long waiting times.
What’s easy to find in stock are the higher end high profit margin top tier mainstream cameras.
This gives us two options on what is going on:
I don’t know you, but I’d go for Nr.2.
Now let’s look at the situation today.
X100V silver is expected to be in stock in fall 2023 at BHphoto. No time indication for the black X100V. You find only overpriced marketplace X100V cameras on Amazon. Out of stock pretty much everywhere.
X-Pro3 dura silver is expected in 2 to 4 weeks. No time indication for all other colors. Given that the X-Pro3 is slowly being discontinued, I am not very opmtistic about its future stock status.
X-E4 black is expected to ship in 6 to 10 weeks at BHphoto. No time indication for the other colors and kit combinations. We remind you the X-E4 was launched in January 2021 and the last time I’ve noticed the X-E4 in stock was back in October 2021. Not even the X100V has such a bad shipping record as the X-E4.
The Fujifilm X-T5 (both colors) is expected in 7 to 14 days at BHphoto. You can find it in stock at Amazon US and Adorama. There is 1 to 2 weeks waiting at Moment only for the black version.
The Fujifilm X-H2s is easy to find in stock. And you even get Capture One 23 for free if you buy it at Adorama.
The Fujifilm X-S10 is easy to find in stock.
The Fujifilm X-T30II is in stock in silver and the black one is expected in 7 to 14 days at BHphoto. It is in stock in both colors at Adorama here. You can find it in stock also via third party sellers at Amazon, and if you buy sold by Amazon it will ship in late February.
The Fujifilm X-H2 is expected in 7 to 14 days at BHphoto. Out of stock with no time indication given at AmazonUS, Adorama and Moment. I guess the huge chunk of 40MP sensors Fujifilm has available are used for the Fujifilm X-T5, so this inevitably means that it prolongs the waiting for the Fujifilm X-H2.
All good on the GFX front, with all cameras being easily available.
FR-readers asked me if I know if Rico Pfirstinger is going to publish a book about the Fujifilm X-T5. Well, the answer is definitely yes, and in fact it is available for pre-order already at Amazon US here. According to Amazon, it will be released on July 11. RockNook also says it will come in July 2023.
He is also working on the equivalent Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2s book. That one will come in August.
Fujifilm has released a major firmware update for the Fujifilm X-H2s.
From the tests we could see so far, we can now say that the autofocus tracking is about at the same level of the very best (but much more expensive) full frame cameras out there. Not perfect, like nothing, so improve it further, Fuji!
The question I now get TONS of times via email is: will my Fujifilm camera “xy” also get the same firmware of the Fujifilm X-H2s?
So here is what I can say about it.
During the recent new years greetings, right after launching the new X-H2s firmware, Fujifilm also promised major firmware updates will come for other 5th generation cameras, too.
5th generation cameras are all those cameras featuring the new 5th generation processor, which at the moment are:
So, while Fujifilm did not specifically mention the new AF system, it is easy to assume that major firmware coming in 2023 for X-T5 and X-H2 might include also the vastly improved AF algorithm.
But again, that’s not a rumor, but an educated guess based on what managers officially said here.
Fujifilm has published a video with the New Year Greetings 2023 (vide below). And it comes with a few interesting tidbits.
Most interesting for us:
Of course the X summits are here to introduce new products. Feel free to drop your guess in the comments… the answer will follow on FujiRumors ;).
