BREAKING: Fujifilm X-E5 Coming in Summer, But Maybe Don’t Sell Your X-E3 or X-E4 Just Yet
Fujifilm X-E5 Coming
Judging from the comments here on FujiRumors, many are still doubting that there will ever be a Fujifilm X-E5.
But trust me guys, it is coming in 2025.
And today we can be more precise.
The Fujifilm X-E5 will come* in summer of 2025.
*NOTE: the source said “come” in summer 2025. So I do not know exactly if this means “announced” or “released”. This means it could be that it will be announced and released in summer, but it could also be announced in late spring and ship in summer, or announced in late summer and ship in autumn. But it won’t come in early 2025, nor in late 2025.
I say this just to be as precise as possible for now.
If I figure out month, day and time of the announcement, you’ll read it here on FujiRumors.
Sell your Current X-E Camera?
The Fujifilm X-E5 will be one of Fujifilm’s most exciting announcements of 2025 and probably another epic failure due to Fujifilm incompetence in production and delivery, just as it happened with the X-E4.
I am sorry guys for this rant at the end of the article, but the Fujifilm X-E4 was the most disastrous announcement I can remember. The camera itself was great, but if you think the X100VI is a shipping disaster, then look at what happened to the X-E4:
- Fujifilm X-E4 launch in January 2021
- I found it in stock once October 2021
- no more stock pretty much anywhere
- discontinued in March 2023 while tons of people still had one on pre-order, probably to reserve parts to other cameras with higher profit margins
Not even the Fujifilm X100VI has such a bad shipping record as the X-E4.
You know, normally I’d now sell my X-E3 before the X-E5 arrives, and then just buy the X-E5. But looking at Fujifilm’s failure with the X-E4, I think this time I’ll keep my X-E3 until the day I actually own the X-E5. I don’t want to sell it and then find myself without an X-E camera because of Fujifilm’s bad production planing.
Dear Fujifilm: the Fujifilm X-E5 could potentially be a massive best seller for you. Don’t mess it up like with the X-E4. If you bother to announce an X-E5, then please also make sure to produce it in sufficient numbers.
