Today we have another information, coming from a new source (thanks).
In my chat with the source I evaluated the information good enough to be shared today (I am rumor site at the end of the day), but I will work on getting it confirmed by trusted sources.
According to the new source, the Fujifilm X-T5 will be announced in 2022.
This comes unexpected for 84% of us (as this survey shows), and, if confirmed, congratulations to the 16% of you who got it right!
Now I will work on:
get the rumor confirmed by trusted sources
if confirmed, find out the announcement date (or at least the month)
When time has come, you’ll learn a lot more about the Fujifilm X-T5!
And if anyone out there has something to share about the Fujifilm X-T5 and wants to put the Fujifilm community on fire like never before, feel free to contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com or via PM on any of our social media.
As soon as I am at home today (it won’t take that long) I will drop a major Fujifilm X-T5 rumor. I want to be online to see your reaction when the rumor drops.

Dave Etchells from Imaging Resource met five Japanese Fujifilm managers: Yujiro Igarashi, Makoto Oishi, Jun Watanabe, Kuniko Åo and Shu Amano.
And when 5 managers are needed to answer the questions of 1 single person, you know it’s going to be a very in depth and technical talk.
In fact, it ends up in a 8,000 words interview that I have summed up down below in 1,470 words.
Some notes and considerations ahead of it:
Fujifilm says they are working on updating the camera remote App, especially to make it work better with older cameras. They did NOT say they are working on an all new App. But FujiRumors has already shared a rumor that there will be an all new App!
Fujifilm aimed to make the GFX system smaller, and the GFX50R served that purpose. Now the GFX100S is perceived as small enough, and so they see “less need for something even more compact“. But they also add “we always look at the market to see if there’s a need to introduce something“. My impression based on this interview is that they currently have no plans for a GFX100R, but they don’t entirely want to rule out this possibility. And in fact, given how well the GFX100S is selling, Fujifilm has no hurry at all to take decisions right now.
These are just two personal notes on what you’ll read below. But there is really a lot more interesting stuff… like how Fujifilm did work to train the new AF and much more.
