Fujifilm X-E5 – This is When it Will Be Announced!

It is a vibrant excitement and a vivid joy that I come to you to announce you when Fujifilm’s masterpiece, the Fujifilm X-E5, will be announced.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-E5 will be announced in June.

The Fujifilm X-E4 will go down as the most epic failure of Fujifilm. Not because nobody wanted it. On the contrary, lots of people wanted one, but Fujifilm totally failed to deliver, so much so that they discontinued the X-E4 even before they where able to ship out all pre-ordered cameras.

The obvious consequence: second hand price for X-E4 skyrocketed to a price higher than the original launch price.

I hope Fujifilm has learned the lesson.

I hope they understood that the demand for the Fujifilm X-E5 will be huge.

And I hope they will have prepared accordingly.

Fujifilm FF250001 and FF250003 Registered: Fujifilm X-E5 and One More Camera

Two Fujifilm camera registrations have now surfaced (again) on the web and have been shared by E8M at the Chinese social media platform Weibo here.

One of the two has to be the Fujifilm X-E5, which will come this summer. More likely it will be the FF250001, given the better Wireless.

The other one could be pretty much anything else. The single frequency wireless suggest a lower end model, though. The Fujifilm X-M5 has single frequency, too.

There is also the FF240003 registered, but for that one we have detailed sketches and we know it will be the Fujifilm X Half.

B&H Photo has listed the Fujifilm X-Half teaser on their website.

Fujifilm Gear Coming 2025 – Updated List and What’s Missing!

Last year we investigated how much gear Fujifilm launches every year (see list below). The result: between 2 to 4 cameras a year and 4 lenses a year.

So let’s see at which point we are in 2025 so far.

Gear (to be) released in 2025

So we have 4 cameras coming for sure in 2025, which matches Fujifilm’s best years in terms of number of cameras released. And while we can always hope for a 5th camera, it is also possible that in terms of cameras, this is all we get. What is sure: the Fujifilm X-Pro4 will not come in 2025.

If you look at lenses, Fujifilm has pretty much consistently released 4 lenses a year. So far we know of one coming for sure, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5, and one being rumored, the Fujinon XF23mm pancake. If Fujifilm were to match the previous years, then there could be still 2 more lenses coming in 2025.

At this point in time, I have no idea which additional lenses could come, but I hope that maybe sources will reach out to us and give us a hint of what’s to come. And if that happens (and if sources agree), I will share it will all of you here on FujiRumors.

In the meantime, these are the lenses the FR community wants based on Fujifilm’s suggestions, and these are the most wanted lenses based on our own mega survey.

Gear released in 2024 – 4 cameras and 4 lenses

Gear released in 2023 – 2 cameras and 4 lenses

Gear released in 2022 – 3 cameras and 4 lenses

Fujifilm FF250001 Patent Spotted – Fujifilm X-E5 or Half Frame Camera?

Fujifilm has registered a new camera under the code FF250001, as spotted and shared on the Chinese social media platform by account E8M here.

So we have a total of two registered and unreleased cameras:

While it is likely that the FF240004 is the Fujifilm GFX100RF, the second camera could be the half frame Fujifilm camera or the Fujifilm X-E5.

Or it could be also something else I am not yet aware of.

Certainly it’s not the Fujifilm X-Pro4.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming with Fuji’s Most Brilliant (and Irrational) Dial

If I should pick my all time favorite dial on Fujifilm cameras, then it would be the combined shutter/ISO dial we find on the Fujifilm X100VI and X-Pro3 for example.

In fact, I would be willing to pay more for a Fujifilm X-E5, just to get that dial also there.

Now, I don’t think (speculation, not rumor) that Fujifilm will put that dial also on the X-E5, because the combined shutter/ISO dial is complicated to manufacture and hence raises the price of the camera. And I guess Fujifilm does not want to make the X-E5 too expensive, nor make it too complicated (and therefore much slower) to manufacture.

But while I am not so optimistic about the X-E5 having that dial (even though it is the most desired one as we see here), today I can tell you that the combined shutter/ISO dial will be implemented also on the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.

In fact, the Fujifilm GFX100RF might be the one Fujifilm camera with the most dedicated manual controls ever made, as in addition to the combined shutter/ISO dial, it will also feature:

I understand that dedicated manual controls aren’t for everyone. However, if you’re someone (like me) who enjoys having as many dials and levers as possible, if that’s what adds to your enjoyment and sparks your inspiration, then the GFX100RF could be an outstanding choice.
