Fujifilm X-M5 Coming with Selfie Screen – My Hope is the Return of This Screen!
Unlike the original Fujifilm X-M1, the successor, the Fujifilm X-M5, will come with a fully articulating screen.
That’s all I know.
But I have a hope.
And my hope is that, instead of using the same screen we find on the X-S20/X-H2 etc, Fujifilm will give a comeback to the unique tilt/flip screen of the Fujifilm X-T100. I will never understand why Fujifilm dropped that concept as it allows to go in “selfie mode” but still retain the option of a simple tilt-screen function, with the screen remaining nicely centered to the camera.
I think that screen it would have made the X-S20, X-H2 and X-H2S an even more appealing camera to many. So I think Fujifilm missed an opportunity there.
But again, that’s not a rumor, just a hope of mine.
And since we are talking of dropped concepts, also the before/after split screen slider on the X-T200 screen would be nice to have. But also in this case I have no rumors, just a wish of mine.
Another curiosity: the Fujifilm X-A and X-M line, as well as the X-T*** line, where Fujifilm branded cameras, but actually manufactured by the Xacti Corporation. And as it is well known, all Xacti made cameras have all been discontinued.
Now, I have not heard that Xacti is back, so I suppose (not rumor) that this time the camera will be made by Fujifilm. But that’s not a rumor, just a speculation. Maybe it will be another Xacti made but Fujifilm branded camera. We will soon see.
