MAP Camera January Sales Rankings – The Fujifilm X-T5 Continues Climbing

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 15, 2024


Map Camera released its sales ranking for January and the Fujifilm X-T5 continues climbing from last month when Fujifilm started selling the X-T5 again in Asia after a production pause. Fujifilm climbed from sixth to fourth place.

Map Camera’s Take

4th place goes to FUJIFILM X-T5, which is also the only FUJIFILM to rank. Following the resumption of orders for the black body in December last year, orders for the silver body have also resumed from January of this year. Although it is extremely popular, the suspension of orders continued for a long time, and many fans may have given up on purchasing the product and moved to other manufacturers. It will be interesting to see how far they can recover from now on. We are also looking forward to the return of the X-S20, which has also supported the popularity of FUJIFILM.

Luminar Neo Partners With FUJIFILM North America Corporation to Host 50 Free Photo Walks Nationwide
Luminar Neo, an award-winning AI photo editing software, subsidiary of Skylum, has collaborated with FUJIFILM North America Corporation’s Electronic Imaging Division for an experiential new program developed to inspire photographers to explore various metropolitan cities across the continental U.S through their camera lenses on a series of free, guided photo walks. Starting March 2024, pre-registered participants will embark on walking adventures led by a local photography expert to explore their city’s local streets, parks, and hidden corners, all while creating urban, landscape, and portrait photography.

As part of the guided photo walk experience, while on the photo walk, participants will also have the opportunity to try out Fujifilm’s latest innovative cameras and lenses. They’ll also have the chance to interact with Luminar Neo and Fujifilm personnel in person, to gain valuable photography tips and insight.

“At Skylum, we believe in the power of exploring, learning, and connecting with others with shared interests. These photo walks are mini-adventures that will bring people together and allow them to see their surroundings in a new light. We appreciate the Fujifilm team’s support of this initiative and sharing our values. Look up the closest event to your location and join us in this celebration of photography and an incredible community,” said Ivan Kutanin, CEO of Skylum (parent company of Luminar Neo).

“At almost every event in which Fujifilm participates, we look for an opportunity to integrate photo walks,” said Victor Ha, vice president, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division. “We see photo walks as incredibly important pieces of the creative process. They’re not only a way to build camaraderie among creators, but also to allow them to make compelling images and content in real-world settings. We’re excited to collaborate with Luminar Neo on these photo walks and to give local creators the tools needed to share ideas, expertise, and stories with each other, and the world.”

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or a hobbyist just getting started, these walks offer a unique chance to improve your skills and connect with the local community. The first photo walks will take place in Las Vegas, Dallas, and Salt Lake City, starting in March 2024.

hahnel HLX-F125 For Fujifilm GFX100 / GFX50S / GFX50R

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 10, 2024


The Fujifilm GFX100/GFX50S/GFX50R were released a while ago and Fujifilm NP-T125 batteries have become scarce so if you are looking for a first party high-quality third-party option the hahnel HLX-F125 is probably the best on the market today. There are many third-party options today,but they can vary greatly in quality and they aren’t as well-engineered as the hahnel HLX-F125 which is designed to be a true first-party quality replacement. I plan to buy 4 of these batteries myself for my GFX100 because I do not believe I will be selling it anytime soon.

The Fujifilm GFX100 has also become an incredible value for a photographer since it has dropped from around $10k to 3-4k used from reputable shops like B&H Photo.
