Blackmagic pulled the trigger a bit early and already added support for BRAW recording for the Fujifilm X-M5, which you can download here.
The Fujifilm X-M5, XF16-55mmF2.8 II and XF500mmF5.6 will be announced on October 14 at 9AM New York time.
The upcoming Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 MKII will weigh 410 gram according to a report shared at the Chinese platform Weibo by the account 独立摄影师联合会 here.
If true, this would mean it weights 37,4% less than the original Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8.
Can this be true?
Well, the guy behind the Chinese account said he saw the marketing material of the lens.
He has been accurate in the past with rumors and has great connection to brands (maybe also to Fujifilm) and so I tend to believe that the information is accurate.
For a size comparison between the old and new XF16-55mmF2.8 check out this article.
The first Fujifilm X-M5 video has now been shared at the Fujifilm X series Brazil account (video made by @ronaldonene).
I guess it will be removed soon, so enjoy it for as long as it will be online.
But don’t worry, I have made screenshots in order to preserve this precious moment for the eternity in case it gets removed. ;)

Above you can see the first real life image of the very compact Fujifilm X-M5 coupled with the new Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 MKII.
We know it is the new XF16-55mmF2.8 II because right next to the red-badge XF logo there is a switch.
I know, some of you might suggest that this is the OIS switch, but it is not.
If you want to get a much better look at the Fujifilm X-M5, check out these images as well as the size comparison with the Fujifilm X-E4.
Now we know it: for the first time Fujifilm will use a 1″ sensor on their cameras.
The 1″ sensor will be the core of the Fujifilm Half Frame digital camera.
This raises an interesting question: with Fujifilm now sourcing plenty of 1″ sensors from Sony, why not revive one of their lines that previously used a 2/3 sensor?
Imagine a successor to the Fujifilm X30, perhaps called the X40 or X50 (if it comes with the 5th generation processor).
Or how about an ultra-compact Fujifilm XQ2 successor, like an XQ3 or even XQ5?
What about the stylish Fujifilm XF1? Should that one get the 1″ sensor revival?
And probably many of you don’t know it…
…. but there is another X series camera with 2/3 sensor that is totally forgotten, the Fujifilm X-S1. Would you like a 1″ version of that?
Maybe this could be an opportunity for Fujifilm to breathe new life into these lines with a 1″ sensor upgrade.
What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing a 1″ version of these cameras? Let us know by voting in the poll below!
