RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T5 will Have Clickable Front and Rear Dial (Unlike X-H2/S)

It’s not a dealbreaker, but a dubious choice Fujifilm made: on the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2, the front and rear command dial are not clickable.

From what I have read, this was done to prevent accidental change of ISO value, and some even say it helps for even better weather sealing.

Quite frankly, none of these explanations convinces me.

And this is why, when I asked what you’d like to know about the Fujifilm X-T5, the question if the X-T5 will have clickable dials or not came up quite a bit.

Well, today I can give you the answer: the Fujifilm X-T5 front and rear command dial will be still clickable.

Personally I am very happy about that.

Fujifilm X-T5 will Shoot 6K/30p Video

When I told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be smaller than the Fujifilm X-T4, some of you understood that this might be the reason why it won’t shoot 8K video (smaller bodies struggle more with heat management than bigger bodies).

But others were worried that the Fujifilm X-T5 won’t even offer 6K video.

So I am glad to report that, despite getting smaller, the Fujifilm X-T5 will still be able to shoot 6K video, more precisely 6K/30p.

So yes, it is not 8K, but 6K should be a pretty decent format for most video uses anyway.

The X-T5 is still a very nice hybrid camera.

RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T5 Shipping Mid November (Announcement November 2)

Fujifilm seems to be in a hurry with the Fujifilm X-T5.

We told you Fujifilm will announce the Fujifilm X-T5 (and XF30mmF2.8 Macro) on November 2 and in fact it is now official as the Fujifilm X summit has been annouced. That’s per se surprising, as they never launched camera gear in November.

But it gets even better.

Fujifilm will start shipping the Fujifilm X-T5 already in mid November, which means just about 2 weeks after its announcement. I can’t remember Fujifilm ever start to ship gear as fast.

Fujifilm X-T5 will have IBIS and Pixel Shift for 160MP Images

I have read speculation about Fujifilm not offering pixel shift on the Fujifilm X-T5 in order to differentiate it even further from the Fujifilm X-H2 and keep pushing sales of their higher end X-H line.

So I investigated and our sources would like to reassure us future X-T5 owners that these speculations are not accurate.

The Fujifilm X-T5 will offer pixel shift, hence it will have the capability to take 160 megapixel images. And of course this means also that the X-T5 has sensor shift stabilization (IBIS), which is needed for pixel shift.

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 X-T5 with AF Joystick of X-T4 (not X-H2/S or GFX100S)

Fujifilm X-T5

One of the questions you guys asked me, was if the Fujifilm X-T5 will use the joystick design we find on the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T4 or if Fujifilm will move to the newer design they use on the Fujifilm GFX100S and Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2s.

Well, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-T5 will use the “older” design we have on the X-T4.

I have cameras with the “old” joystick design (X-E3 and X-T4) and with the newer one (GFX100S). Personally I am fine with both designs. As long as I have an AF joystick I am happy. But feel free to let us know in the comments which one you prefer.

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.
