Fujifilm X-T5, X-T50, X-M5, and X100VI US Production Moved To Japan To Mitigate US Tariffs

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 7, 2025


Back in April, I wrote about how the impact of tariffs could not be predicted and how you shouldn’t rush to buy something you can’t afford just to save a few bucks. As I expected, Fujifilm is on top of the issues, moving production of 4 of its most popular cameras from China to Japan for the US market. This might even be a bonus because many in the US still prefer cameras that are made in Japan.

Fujifilm X-T5:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Fujifilm X-T50
B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama
Fujifilm X-M5
B&H Photo / Amazon Silver : Black / Moment / Adorama
Fujifilm X100VI Silver and Black:
B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver : Black) / Moment / Adorama

Retailers are currently shifting SKUs to Japanese-made cameras, so if you want one, look for JP in the SKU. For example, the Japanese-made X-T5 at B&H Photo is listed as FUXT5BJP with JP, while other retailers are still catching up to the changes. Adorama has also started to change things over, but their new listings do not have the JP SKU let so they might have a few China-based cameras left to sell or on the way.

Fujifilm X-E5 Teaser Released

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 5, 2025

 

Fujifilm is teasing the new Fujifilm X-E5 with another camera silhouette, which you can see below. I fed the silhouette into an AI to get a more accurate representation of what the Fujifilm X-E5 will look like, which you can see above.

The Teaser video starts by showing the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and X100VI with the text saying:

There is another rangefinder-style series that’s just as essential when telling the story of our X series history

This statement confirms that we will see the new Fujifilm X-E5 on June 12th, as it is Fujifilm’s only other rangefinder-style camera. It sounds like it will be quite a value when the camera launches, too.

We will see you on June 12th, 2025, 5 AM EST for the live blog!

Retailers Resume X-M5, X100VI, and GFX100RF Orders

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 4, 2025


Fujifilm GFX100RF:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama
Fujifilm X-M5
B&H Photo / Amazon Silver : Black / Moment / Adorama
Fujifilm X100VI Silver and Black:
B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver : Black) / Moment / Adorama

Fujifilm X-M5, X100VI, and GFX100RF orders have resumed at most retailers, with a few lagging behind Moment. If you have been waiting for one of these cameras, now may be a good time to place an order, as they are all significantly backordered, but so far, prices have remained constant.

Fujifilm X-Half Manual Now Available and First Bug Reported

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 3, 2025


Fujifilm X-Half Frame:
B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver / Charcoal / Black) / ShopMoment / Adorama

The HTML manual for the Fujifilm X-Half can now be found online here. I am still thinking about fun ways to use this camera, and I think the ultimate fun traditional style of shooting might be by using zone focusing, since I don’t expect the autofocus to be great. When I shot a digital M camera without a super-fast lens, I would often use zone focusing when street shooting.

First Bug: There are reports that if you let the camera go to sleep, you will need to power the camera off and back on again, as it will not wake up on its own. Fujifilm should fix it with a firmware update soon.

Fujifilm X-E5 Specs Leaked on Weibo

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 2, 2025
AL Generated Fujifilm X-E5

AL Generated Fujifilm X-E5

Quite a few accounts posted the specs for the Fujifilm X-E5 on weibo today

  • 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR
  • 3.69 mdot OLED EVF
  • 3-inch 1.84 mdot side tilt flip screen
  • IBIS with 160MP multi-shot feature
  • Film Simulation Dial
  • 4K 60p, 6.2K 30p (4:2:2 10-bit)
  • 425-point Intelligent Hybrid AF system
  • 20fps Electronic Shutter
  • 15fps Mechanical Shutter
  • New 23mm pancake lens

This is all of them cobbled together. It will be interesting to see how thin Fujifilm has been able to make their new side tilt and flip screen since the Fujifilm X-E4 was super compact.

We will see you on June 12th, 2025, 5 AM EST for the live blog!
