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.

Fujifilm X-T5 rumors recap:

• X-T5 announcement November 2
• shipping in November
• 40 megapixel sensor of X-H2
• no stacked 26MP version planed
• no vertical battery grip option at all
• 3 way tilt screen
• X-T5 body only to cost $1,699 and €1,999
• Movie/Stills switch (no metering mode switch like on X-T3)
• XF30mmF2.8 Macro Announcement November 2
• no 8K video
• black and silver version available
• “old” AF joystick design of X-T4
• X-T5 will be smaller than Fujifilm X-T4
• almost perfectly accurate X-T5 mock-ups (confirmation of manual MCS switch and D-Pad)
• dual SD-Card slot (no CFexpress option)
• X-T5 has IBIS and Pixel Shift
• X-T5 Shipping mid November

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.

• dual SD-Card slot (no CFexpress option)
• X-T5 has IBIS and Pixel Shift

I must say that I am a bit relieved to hear (and share) this rumor, because it is going to save me hundreds of dollars ;)

The Fujifilm X-T5 will have dual SD-card slots (no CFexpress compatibility).

For my type of shooting (no crazy ultra high fps bursts), UHS-II SD-Cards are fast enough to have a smooth and pleasing shooting experience.

So when I get my Fujifilm X-T5, I won’t have to spend more money into CFexpress cards. I just use the plenty of SD-Cards I already have at home.

But I am curious to hear what you guys think about it. Maybe for some of you this is a dealbreaker?

Yesterday I leaked the mock-ups of the Fujifilm X-T5, which you can see here.

You can notice that the mock-ups show a D-Pad and a dedicated manual MCS switch (as opposed to the X-H2/S, which have an FN button there)

Since I never specifically rumored the D-Pad and MCS switch, quite often the question came up in the comments asking me if this means that MCS and D-pad are confirmed. So let me answer this very clearly in a dedicated article: yes, the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a manual MCS switch and a D-Pad.

Ok guys, so how does the Fujifilm X-T5 look like?

Well, according to our sources you could basically imagine it as a smaller X-T4 with the 3 way tilt screen of the Fujifilm X-T3.

But there are some minor details that we will try to illustrate with some renderings we made below.

And to be clear: what you see below is NOT the real Fujifilm X-T5, but the final thing will be very close to what you see here. The only difference between these mock-ups and the real Fujifilm X-T5 will be that the size of the X-T5 (for example the real X-T5 is a bit narrower) and the grip is slightly different. The mock-ups use the grip of the X-T4 because that grip is closer to the real X-T5 than the grip of any other X-T camera.

Overall, let’s put it down like this: these mock-ups are so close to the real Fujifilm X-T5, that when the real X-T5 leaks very soon, you will find the leaked images very boring ;).

Lets start with the front:

When I asked what you’d like to know about the Fujifilm X-T5, there were quite some guys asking me if it would come in black and silver (many of you asked me also privately via email or social media).

And I can see why you ask me this.

Fujifilm is offering the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S in black, when they launched the Fujifilm X-T3WW it also came just in black, and even the X-T4 silver started to get discontinued.

It all looked like Fujifilm was giving up on the silver color.

But not with the Fujifilm X-T5.

If you like your X-T camera in silver, then, according to our sources, you can rest assured that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be offered in black and silver.

Now feel free to let us know in the survey down below which color you prefer.

Personally, I owned black as well as silver X-T cameras. I’d be happy with either color. Maybe the silver color gives a bit more of a vintage touch, but the all black version looks so sexy too. I guess I am one of those who’d be happy with both cameras, and I will struggle until the last minute before I place my X-T5 pre-order.

When I told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will go back to using the lovely 3 way tilt screen we find on the Fujifilm X-T3, some people hoped that Fujifilm would also get rid of the dedicated X-T4 movie/stills sub-dial and revert back to the metering mode sub-dial on the Fujifilm X-T3.

And guys, I am totally with you! I’d also prefer the X-T5 to have a metering switch.

But that’s just my preference. For many others, a dedicated Movie/Stills switch makes more sense.

Well, today we can report that the Fujifilm X-T5 will still have a dedicated movie/stills sub-dial switch.

Not a dealbreaker at all for me, especially considering that everything else we have shared about the Fujifilm X-T5 so far sounds amazing! ;)… and I can map a function button for that purpose.

Oh… and if you have more information in anything regarding Fuji’s future, feel free to use the revived rumor box… we are always happy to receive accurate rumors there ;)

We just told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 will cost $1,699and I wrote in that article that I consider the fact that the price of the X-T5 will be the same of the X-T4 is actually a good news in my eyes.

But here in Europe, the Fujifilm X-T5 won’t cost the same of the X-T4, as I have been told that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be sold for €1,999, which is €200 more than the Fujifilm X-T4.

As some of you pointed out in the comments, the strong dollar certainly does not help to keep the price in Euro low.

And while the X-T5 in Europe won’t sadly cost the same of the X-T4, we can also see that the price difference between the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-T5 is more or less the same in Europe and USA, as in USA the X-T5 will cost $300 less than the X-H2 and in Europe it will cost €250 less than in USA.
