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.

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.

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.
