Fujifilm X-Lab X-T5 Edition – Making the Fujifilm X-T5

Fujifilm managers and engineers sat down together to give us insights on the Fujifilm X-T5 development.

Nothing revolutionary is said, but I grab the occasion to make a recommendation to Fujifilm: please give us an English translated version of your X lab episodes, as using the automatic live google translation is a real pain.

It should not break your bank to do that, dear Fujifilm.

The good news: now the black X-T5 body only is in stock at B&H Photo here as well as Amazon US here.

So grab it now if you want one here.

Fujifilm X-T5 – EUROPE & World

Fujifilm X-T5 Black Body IN STOCK

For the first time ever, the black Fujifilm X-T5 body is in stock and ready to ship at BHphoto here.

Note: in the original article we found the X-T5 black in stock at Adorama, but it quickly sold out. Now you can find it on BHPhoto. Hence we edited the article.

Fujifilm X-T5 Body Only in Stock

Finally also the Fujifilm X-T5 body only can be found in stock.

For example, you can find the silver X-T5 at BHphoto here.

Amazon USA has listed nine (9) silver Fujifilm X-T5 cameras that if ordered now, will arrive to you on January 7.

And the black one?

At the time of this post, Amazon is selling a few black bodies via official Fujifilm retailer Focus Camera here.

Overall situation should be good for the black one soon, too. Adorama says they will get new black X-T5 bodies ready to ship on January 3rd.

If you buy it in kit with XF18-55, then you’ll find plenty of options. The kit with the XF16-80 sold out faster but you can still find some here and there.

The Rise of the Fujifilm X-T5 – Dominating Sales Rankings

Pre-orders for the Fujifilm X-T5 were stellar. So much so that the most wanted option, the body only, is very hard to find in stock and Fujifilm is busy trying to ship all pre-orders as quickly as possible.

At the time of this post, the silver and black Fujifilm X-T5 are ranked in the top 3 of the new releases at Amazon, beaten only by this camera. But it’s easy to imagine that both, the silver and black body together will beat the current Nr.1 (which comes only in 1 color).

Also in Japan things are going very well. The Japanese site digicame-info collected the various rankings here.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 Discontinued but Not Because Fujifilm X-Pro4 is Coming – REPORT

Some reports are appearing that indicate how the the Fujifilm X-Pro3 has been discontinued.

The first one comes from India, where a fellow X shooter looking for an X-Pro3 spoke to a Fujifilm distributor, who was informed by the regional Fujifilm sales person that the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is discontinued [see screenshot above].

Another report comes from a Swiss Fujifilm shooter, who got told the same by a Swiss distributor (X-Pro3 no longer in production), with the addition that no Fujifilm X-Pro4 is in the pipeline.

Speculations are rising, and so far here are the options I see.

  1. Fujifilm X-Pro4 is coming
  2. Fujifilm X-Pro3 simply is not selling well enough anymore and the parts shortage that is still going on forced Fujifilm to stop production on lower selling models
  3. The class action lawsuit the X-Pro3 is suffering is forcing Fujifilm to stop production

What’s your most likely scenario?

If you ask me, I’d go for Nr.2. But the option that would make me most happy is the Nr.1 of course :)

Fujifilm X-T5 in Stock Check: Things Get Better at Amazon and Fujifilm is Pushing Kits over Body Only

In many countries, Amazon was the last store to ship out Fujifilm X-T5 cameras (for the reasons I have explained already in the past). But things are better now and in fact they have some X-T5 combinations in stock.

It is also clear now, that Fujifilm is pushing X-T5 kits over body only. If I was Fuji, I’d have done the opposite, as most X-T5 owners are probably upgrading from previous X-T cameras. For us this means that what we find in stock now are X-T5 kits.
