RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T5 Sub-Dial – Movie/Stills or Metering Mode Switch? The Answer Now on FujiRumors!

When I told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will go back to using the lovely 3 way tilt screen we find on the Fujifilm X-T3, some people hoped that Fujifilm would also get rid of the dedicated X-T4 movie/stills sub-dial and revert back to the metering mode sub-dial on the Fujifilm X-T3.

And guys, I am totally with you! I’d also prefer the X-T5 to have a metering switch.

But that’s just my preference. For many others, a dedicated Movie/Stills switch makes more sense.

Well, today we can report that the Fujifilm X-T5 will still have a dedicated movie/stills sub-dial switch.

Not a dealbreaker at all for me, especially considering that everything else we have shared about the Fujifilm X-T5 so far sounds amazing! ;)… and I can map a function button for that purpose.

Oh… and if you have more information in anything regarding Fuji’s future, feel free to use the revived rumor box… we are always happy to receive accurate rumors there ;)

Fujifilm X-T5 to cost €1,999 (and $1,699)

We just told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will cost $1,699and I wrote in that article that I consider the fact that the price of the X-T5 will be the same of the X-T4 is actually a good news in my eyes.

But here in Europe, the Fujifilm X-T5 won’t cost the same of the X-T4, as I have been told that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be sold for €1,999, which is €200 more than the Fujifilm X-T4.

As some of you pointed out in the comments, the strong dollar certainly does not help to keep the price in Euro low.

And while the X-T5 in Europe won’t sadly cost the same of the X-T4, we can also see that the price difference between the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-T5 is more or less the same in Europe and USA, as in USA the X-T5 will cost $300 less than the X-H2 and in Europe it will cost €250 less than in USA.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-T5 Price Leaked

Fujifilm X-T5

Crazy inflation, chronic parts shortage, skyrocketing energy prices… the perfect storm to make prices on all kind of products rise fast.

So, given the situation, I frankly had big concerns about the possible Fujifilm X-T5 price.

Concerns, that I must say are now quite gone.

In fact, I hear that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be sold for $1,699.

So basically that’s the same price of the Fujifilm X-T4, but we remind you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a new 40MP sensor and the new X-Processor 5.

I am cool with that, and you?

Fujifilm X-T5 Rumor Recap: 3 Way Tilt Screen, November Announcement, No Battery Grip Option and More

We have just share the rumor about the Fujifilm X-T5 having a 3 way tilt screen.

But I realized that I never made any Fujifilm X-T5 rumor-recap list in the various X-T5 rumors, so I thought I make one now that I will re-share and keep updated in future Fujifilm X-T5 rumors

Fujifilm Managers Interviews: About Competition and Alliances, Dreams of Modular and Fixed Lens GFX and More

There have been two interviews with Fujifilm managers, one in French (the more comprehensive one) and one in Japanese (short).

I will sum up both of them, but the Japanese one only because it involves Koji Matsumoto, the president of Fujifilm Imaging. It does not say much at all, but if we hear from his mouth that X-H2 and X-H2S are selling better than Fujifilm thought, than it has its value.

The French manager was definitely much more talkative and if you don’t speak French, our summary below will cover it all.

Fujifilm GFX100S vs Hasselblad X2D Dynamic Range Test

The web is full of professional reviewers suddenly discovering how amazing the Hasselblad X2D is, how gorgeous its dynamic range, the flexibility of those files. It’s all so amazing. Forget full frame, medium format is the future!

Sadly many of those reviewers have since now totally ignored that the Fujifilm GFX100S exists. And by the way, they also ignore the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S. Fujifilm simply does not exist.

Luckily for us, Bill at Photon to Photos did not forget that Fujifilm makes digital cameras and has them all in his database.

And he also added the Hasselblad X2D now.

How you can see, the Fujifilm GFX100S matches the Hasselblad dynamic range at base ISO, but starting from ISO 400 and beyond there is not competition and the GFX100S beats the X2D in terms of dynamic range.

So Fujifilm is able to take out more of the sensor than Hasselblad.

You can access the data here at Photon to Photos.

UPDATE: Jim Kasson, a very respectable and competent fellow GFX shooter, has a different view on the chart. He writes:

Bill’s PDR tests don’t take sensitivity into account. My tests show that, at base ISO (64 for X2D, 100 for GFX 100S), the two cameras are within 0.2 stops of having the same sensitivity. Once you correct for that, Bill’s curves for the two cameras are nearly on top of each other. So the Fuji Rumors claim is at best misleading, and at worst just plain wrong. C’mon folks, these cameras have the same sensors, albeit operated slightly differently. How far apart can the DR be?
