Why We Still Need the Fujifilm X-E5 (Despite X-M5)
After comparing the X-M5 size to the X-E4, some have argued that the X-M5 renders a potential Fujifilm X-E5 redundant.
Why would Fujifilm offer two rangefinder-style cameras that are nearly identical?
I can see their point to some extent. The X-M5 shares the same rangefinder design, is slightly smaller, packs the powerful 5th-gen processor, and is more affordable.
While the X-M5 could certainly pose a challenge to the X-E5 in terms of sales, there are several reasons why the future X-E5 could still be a more attractive option over the X-M5.
For example:
- the Fujifilm X-E5 will have an EVF
For me, the EVF alone is already a strong reason to choose the Fujifilm X-E5 over the X-M5.
But let’s consider what else Fujifilm could do to further distinguish the X-E5 from the X-M5. Keep in mind, this is purely speculative, not based on any rumors.
- simple tilt screen (no selfie screen)
- 40MP sensor
- IBIS
- implementation of Fujifilm’s most beautiful dial
*none of the above is based on rumors, just a wishlist
If Fujifilm were to implement all of the features mentioned above on the X-E5, we’d be looking at the closest thing to perfection in the X series lineup. ;)
And even if not all of the mentioned features are included, there would still be a strong need for the Fujifilm X-E5, and fortunately for us, it’s set to arrive in 2025.
Feel free to let us know in the comments what you’d like to get on the X-E5 in terms of hardware features.

The Fujiiflm X-M5 is coming with quite some new stuff never available on any other Fujifilm camera before.
Dear Fujifilm: If You Can Change Video Frame Colors, Why Not Focus Frame Color Too?
Back in 2018, FujiRumors made a simple request to Fujifilm: give us the option to change the color of the focus frame (the little square you move around on the screen to indicate where the camera should focus).
This request came from a common issue — while the default white box works fine most of the time, there are situations where it blends into the background, making it hard to spot. I sometimes end up moving it randomly around the screen until I can locate it again.
Six years later, that request has yet to be fulfilled.
Over time, we made peace with it and moved on. But with the release of the Fujifilm X-M5, our wish for a focus frame color change has resurfaced.
Why?
The Fujifilm X-M5 offers the usual red frame box when recording video. But when switching to slow motion mode, that red box turns green to avoid confusion — something we reported earlier. This got us thinking: if Fujifilm can adjust the frame color for video modes, surely their talented software engineers could implement a similar option for focus frames.
So, Fujifilm, if you can change video frame colors, why not give us the option to customize the focus frame color? It’s a simple tweak that could improve the user experience.
