RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T5 with Dual SD-Card Slots (no CFexpress)

I must say that I am a bit relieved to hear (and share) this rumor, because it is going to save me hundreds of dollars ;)

The Fujifilm X-T5 will have dual SD-card slots (no CFexpress compatibility).

For my type of shooting (no crazy ultra high fps bursts), UHS-II SD-Cards are fast enough to have a smooth and pleasing shooting experience.

So when I get my Fujifilm X-T5, I won’t have to spend more money into CFexpress cards. I just use the plenty of SD-Cards I already have at home.

But I am curious to hear what you guys think about it. Maybe for some of you this is a dealbreaker?

Well Observed: Fujifilm X-T5 with Manual MCS Switch and D-Pad

Yesterday I leaked the mock-ups of the Fujifilm X-T5, which you can see here.

You can notice that the mock-ups show a D-Pad and a dedicated manual MCS switch (as opposed to the X-H2/S, which have an FN button there)

Since I never specifically rumored the D-Pad and MCS switch, quite often the question came up in the comments asking me if this means that MCS and D-pad are confirmed. So let me answer this very clearly in a dedicated article: yes, the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a manual MCS switch and a D-Pad.

Fujifilm X-T5 Mock-Up (Almost Perfectly Accurate, Except for…)

Ok guys, so how does the Fujifilm X-T5 look like?

Well, according to our sources you could basically imagine it as a smaller X-T4 with the 3 way tilt screen of the Fujifilm X-T3.

But there are some minor details that we will try to illustrate with some renderings we made below.

And to be clear: what you see below is NOT the real Fujifilm X-T5, but the final thing will be very close to what you see here. The only difference between these mock-ups and the real Fujifilm X-T5 will be that the size of the X-T5 (for example the real X-T5 is a bit narrower) and the grip is slightly different. The mock-ups use the grip of the X-T4 because that grip is closer to the real X-T5 than the grip of any other X-T camera.

Overall, let’s put it down like this: these mock-ups are so close to the real Fujifilm X-T5, that when the real X-T5 leaks very soon, you will find the leaked images very boring ;).

Lets start with the front:

Fujifilm Lays Out its Digital Camera Range without Fujifilm GFX50R and X70 (So What About Successor – SPECULATIONS?)

DO NOT GET ME WRONG!!!!

THIS IS NOT A RUMOR and NOTHING FUJIFILM HAS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

All the below are my thoughts, guesses and speculations based on an slide Fujifilm showed and on hints dropped in past Fujifilm statements.

At no point Fujifilm said that both lines are 100% axed. And a slide shown by a regional outlet of Fujifilm has less value than what the official Fujifilm headquarter in Japan says.

None… I repeat, NONE of my sources has told me the Fujifilm GFX50R or X70 won’t get a successor.

Fujfiilm Digital Camera Range

You might remember how a few months ago, Fuji Guy Billy explained the digital camera range of Fujifilm.

The list Billy made gave us indication on which lines are very likely to see a successor and which ones not.

However, in the list Billy did GFX cameras and fixed lens cameras were not included.

And this brings us to today’s article.

I have received the slide you can see above that Fujifilm used during a press meeting.

Just like with Billy’s list, also here we see no entry level X series camera anymore.

In addition to that, this slide contains the Fujifilm X100V, which means it’s a solid part of the family and will get a successor at some point.

The new Fujifilm X-H2 is missing, but only because the slide was shown to press before the launch of the Fujifilm X-H2.

Totally missing though are the Fujifilm X70/XF10 and the Fujifilm GFX50R.

So what does this mean?

Well, the fact that neither the GFX50R nor the X70 are in the list certainly shows that those cameras do not play an important role in Fuji’s lineup anymore.

Regarding the Fujiifilm GFX50R, Fujifilm managers made some conflicting statements: the first one said that they see no need for a GFX50R successor due to the reasons we explained here, and the second manager clearly expressed his wish for this line to continue. So I guess not even in Japan the final word on the GFX50R successor has yet been spoken.

As far as the Fujifilm X70 goes, Fujifilm should not blame the camera for its failure. It was destined to fail due to horrible (can I say “stupid”?) decisions Fujifilm made and that we explained in this article. And to make things worst, they tried to fix it with the Fujifilm XF10, which is just another error in planing. I believe this could be a very successful line… if Fujifilm finally decides to treat it with dignity!

But sure, in times where camera companies struggle, I would not be totally surprised if those cameras, that are not vital for the system, get dropped. It would save R&D to focus on other more popular models.

Also, APS-C is marked as “X-Trans”, so this might indicate that there is no space anymore for Bayer in the APS-C lineup (which so far was reserved for lower end models).

ANSWERED: Fujifilm X-T5 will come in Black and Silver

When I asked what you’d like to know about the Fujifilm X-T5, there were quite some guys asking me if it would come in black and silver (many of you asked me also privately via email or social media).

And I can see why you ask me this.

Fujifilm is offering the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S in black, when they launched the Fujifilm X-T3WW it also came just in black, and even the X-T4 silver started to get discontinued.

It all looked like Fujifilm was giving up on the silver color.

But not with the Fujifilm X-T5.

If you like your X-T camera in silver, then, according to our sources, you can rest assured that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be offered in black and silver.

Now feel free to let us know in the survey down below which color you prefer.

Personally, I owned black as well as silver X-T cameras. I’d be happy with either color. Maybe the silver color gives a bit more of a vintage touch, but the all black version looks so sexy too. I guess I am one of those who’d be happy with both cameras, and I will struggle until the last minute before I place my X-T5 pre-order.

Fujifilm X-T5 will NOT shoot 8K video

Yes, the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a 40 MP sensor.

And yes, the Fujifilm X-H2 with the same sensor can shoot 8K video

But according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-T5 will not be able to record 8K video.

I guess most of us in the market for an X-T5 will not care about 8K on X-T5. But I might be wrong, so feel free to vote the survey down below.

Do you care about 8K on the Fujifilm X-T5?

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 ;)
