REPORT: Fujifilm Price Increase Coming Soon (also on X-E5): Order Now to Lock the Price! – UPDATED

UPDATE: here is the list of price increases – X-E5 might be safe

FR-reader Alejandro has received the message you can see above from the Moment customer service:

Fujifilm just let us know they’ll be increasing the prices of some of their products soon, so l’m reaching out to assure you your order will be unaffected by the increase. Since you placed this order with us before the increase was announced, we’re be honoring your purchase price and eating the cost of the increase

I guess this was to expect. In fact, we’ve already seen hints of this: the X half launched at $850 instead of the planned $700, and the Fujifilm X-E5 is priced like the X-T5 in the U.S., unlike elsewhere where it is priced like the X-T50.

Older gear stayed stable thanks to pre-tariff stock, but that’s running out. Now, with higher import costs kicking in, Fujifilm appears to be officially adjusting prices.

But here is the thing:

When I asked Alejandro for which gear he got this notice, he told me:

this is for the silver X-E5 with kit lens

Now, we told you a few weeks ago that price adjustments on Fujifilm X-E5 can’t be ruled, since it’s now subject to a higher tariff rate than when it first launched.

Maybe that’s also why Amazon US de-listed the X-E5 from their website. They could be waiting for the price increase to become official and then list it again with the new price.

Anyway, if Alejandro’s report to FujiRumors is accurate, then we could be just days away from a price increase.

Also at risk of price increase might be all that gear announced before the tariffs and that is now running low on stock at the US warehouses, so we are talking of Fujifilm GFX100RF, Fujifilm X-T50, X-M5, X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S and more.

And I guess also plenty of GF and XF lenses will get a price increase.

To be clear: there is no official Fujifilm statement as of yet. It’s just an information that has been passed from a store to a FR-reader, who then passed it to me.

However, at this point my advice is: if you’re planning to buy and Fujifilm gear, (pre)order it now to give yourself the best chance of avoiding the potential imminent price hike.

If I get any updates I will let you know.

Time to catch up and share a FR-reader wishlist corner post.

Once upon a time (2010?), Fujifilm launched the second version of a 3D camera, the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3.

Stereo enthusiasts still regard this as a high point but of course its specifications (especially the sensors) are now very dated.

Do you think there is ANY CHANCE Fujifilm might produce a new version, almost certainly with enhanced video capabilities for viewing on 3D display laptops, AR/MR/VR headsets and more traditional ways?

There have been “Mickey Mouse” 3D cameras launched recently, but they are more toys than proper cameras, see e.g. XREAL Beam Pro.

Fujifilm Europe/Canada Deals End Soon… and No Deals in USA Since Months

The deals on Fujifilm X and GFX gear in Europe and Canada are ending. There are deals pretty much all over the world, from the Philippines to Australia and more

There is only one country that has no deals running since a couple of months now: the United States of America. I guess recently it’s not a great time for Fujifilm USA to launch deals… it’s more about figuring out how not to raise prices.

First Used Fujifilm X Half Cameras Available, Fujifilm X100F and More Used Fujifilm Gear

The first used Fujifilm X half cameras are now listed at BHphoto.

There is also a used Fujifilm X100F available as well as the Fujifilm X100V (but the V is overpriced)

But there is a lot more Fujifilm gear listed used at BHphoto. For example:

RUMOR: This is the Sensor of the Fujifilm X-E5

→ in short: it’s the same sensor of this Fujifilm camera

One of the big questions I got recently was if the Fujifilm X-E5 will adopt the Fujifilm X-S20 solution (26MP + X Processor 5) or the X-T50 solution (40MP + X Processor 5).

And look, I know this is something I can’t get wrong, so I have waited to have mulitple confirmation from several trusted sources before sharing it.

Well, now I am confident enough to share it….

Fujifilm Europe Massive Sell Out of 5th Generation Cameras and Lots of XF/GF Lenses

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.

But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.

And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:

You know why this is happening, right?

It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

  • ATTENTION 1: In Germany these are Cashback Deals
  • ATTENTION 2: AmazonDE is not listed among the authorized reseller for these particular cashback deals. However, I will list AmazonDE below, because in some cases they have better or same prices. Please compare prices. Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt and Calumet are all eligable for cashback.

Fujifilm Gear Coming 2025 – Updated List and What’s Missing!

Last year we investigated how much gear Fujifilm launches every year (see list below). The result: between 2 to 4 cameras a year and 4 lenses a year.

So let’s see at which point we are in 2025 so far.

Gear (to be) released in 2025

So we have 4 cameras coming for sure in 2025, which matches Fujifilm’s best years in terms of number of cameras released. And while we can always hope for a 5th camera, it is also possible that in terms of cameras, this is all we get. What is sure: the Fujifilm X-Pro4 will not come in 2025.

If you look at lenses, Fujifilm has pretty much consistently released 4 lenses a year. So far we know of one coming for sure, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5, and one being rumored, the Fujinon XF23mm pancake. If Fujifilm were to match the previous years, then there could be still 2 more lenses coming in 2025.

At this point in time, I have no idea which additional lenses could come, but I hope that maybe sources will reach out to us and give us a hint of what’s to come. And if that happens (and if sources agree), I will share it will all of you here on FujiRumors.

In the meantime, these are the lenses the FR community wants based on Fujifilm’s suggestions, and these are the most wanted lenses based on our own mega survey.

Gear released in 2024 – 4 cameras and 4 lenses

Gear released in 2023 – 2 cameras and 4 lenses

Gear released in 2022 – 3 cameras and 4 lenses
