There is currently an insane deal running at Amazon here.
Buy the Fujifilm X-T5 with Fujinon XF16-80mm at Amazon US here for the price of the X-T5 body only (shipped and sold by Amazon).
I am pretty sure this deal will no longer be available in a few hours or maybe even minutes, so hurry up.
And no, as far as I know there is no Fujifilm X-T6 camera coming anytime soon ;).
UPDATE: Deal no longer available
Fujiiflm has launched X and MKX deals all over Europe.
Lots of great deals also on 5th generation gear, but the one that probably stands out the most for me is the massive £230 rebate on the Fujifilm X-H2S in UK.
NOTE: if you grab your X Series Deal at your local Amazon, make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon to qualify for the cashback.
Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20, GFX100S, GFX100, GFX50SII and GFX50R.
You can find all details and download links down below.
You can now purchase the SmallRig L-Shape grip for Fujifilm X-T5 at BHphoto here and Amazon here.
The silver version is currently marked as unavailable at BHphoto, but it is available at Amazon here and Adorama here.

Here are the top 10 articles for June:
And here are the June Youtube videos ranked by popularity. The 2nd and 4th video are from the Dolomites… they might be worth to watch just for the scenery ;).
For this weekend we have a roundup covering all the latest and greatest 5th generation Fujifilm gear.
Gear Covered in this roundup
Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X-E4 and X-S10.
You can find all details and download links down below.
So I was hiking on the gorgeous Dolomites the other day.
If you want to know where exactly (and how it looks like) check out these two videos:
I was with my Fujifilm X-T5 and the XF18-135mm because I wanted to take landscape images, but also images of the marmots who just came out from their hibernation (as you can also see in this video).
So I set my X-T5 to animal tracking because of the marmots.
But then I notice an alpine chough on a rock nearby ready to jump into flight.
I wanted to track the “take-off”, but first I had to press an FN button, then scroll down to bird detection, press to confirm, go back in live view and then… the bird had already taken off.
My first thought?
“If only I’d have had the smartness of the (more affordable) Fujifilm X-S20, I would not have missed this shot“
Why?
Because the Fujifilm X-S20 recognizes and tracks all sorts of subjects automatically, without any need to press a single button and go into the menu and tell the camera what it has to track.
That’s a level of smartness my X-T5, but not even the X-H2 or X-H2S has.
I can hear some say: “but it’s just a few presses on the buttons to change subject“. And that’s true. In most cases, you will have enough time to change the settings. But in my case, it all happened quickly, faster than I could react.
If you couldn’t care less about this feature, that’s great.
We are all different, and you are probably just seeing and reacting to things faster than I do.
But the point is that Fujifilm has this technology available. It’s there on the X-S20 and it works very well according to those who tested it such as Gordon from Cameralabs, who says:
Auto Subject Detection does a great job to automatically recognize subjects. You don’t need to manually select the type of subject anymore.
Although there is a limitation, which would be completely avoidable if Fujifilm would provide a firmware update for it. In fact, Gordon rightfully remarks*:
*the full review of Gordon can be found down below
Sadly Auto subject detect does not work, unless you are in the full AUTO mode, which is a missed opportunity. Workaround: switch quickly to AUTO if you want the camera to track automatically (but then you’ll also get Auto Dynamic Range, which can work well but sometimes give a too HDR like look.
This is a limitation that Fujifilm could fix with a quick firmware update by not linking auto detection to the full Auto mode.
Also, I do hope that Fujifilm will bring this feature (not the full AUTO feature, but the automatic subject tracking feature) also to the more expensive 5th generation Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2s.
And here on FujiRumors we have already suggested how Fujifilm could implement this feature on current 5th generation Fujifilm cameras.
But hey, maybe it’s only Gordon and me who find this feature nice to have.
Let’s see what you think about it, so feel free to vote the survey down below.
Loading ...The 5th Generation Fujifilm Gear
My Personal Gear
Recently I asked you which Fujifilm X camera you own.
The goal of the survey was to find out how popular the newest 5th generation X series cameras have become among the FujiRumors community.
The results surprised. And not because the Fujifilm X-T5 sold well. That was to expect. But because despite being launched just a few months ago, the Fujifilm X-T5 is already the most owned Fujifilm X series camera among this community.
And more impressively: this is the first time that any Fujifilm X-T camera has some serious internal competition in the higher end Fujifilm segment thanks to the Fujifilm X-H2. But despite this stiff internal competition, the X-T5 made it to the top as your most owned camera in just a few months.
Speaking of X-H2, it is 7th in the ranking, showing the huge popularity of the 40MP X-Trans V sensor.
In the battle X-H2S and X-H2, the X-H2S wins and grabs the 6th spot, but with only a few votes of advantage.
The first non-XT camera in the ranking is the Fujifilm X100V on the 5th spot, slightly ahead of the X-H2S. The next rangefinder camera is the X-Pro2 on the 9th spot
NOTE: The popularity of camera (lines) on FujiRumors is not indicative for the overall popularity on the worldwide market.
