The only reason for choose T50 is about the size.Youre right.

Don't worry about things that are not important.

I was very interested in de XT50 after using an XT20 for many years professional for my travel photography to gather with my X100f. When they announced the price of the XT50 and I compared it with te price of the XT5, my choice was quickly made. Including a cashback I paid €185,= more for the XT5, so now the 5 is the new companion of x100F.

Hi I have both, my xt50 arrived this morning and I have had my xt5 for about 1.3 yrs. I used to own an xt30mk1 (exchanged as part of the cost of the xt50) which didn't have the film dial, and lower specs incl ibis but was same form factor. For edc and family stuff ie dinners and walks, the xt30 was great but I missed the ibis, the xt50 gives me that again. The xt5 I tend to use for wildlife, concerts and anything using my bigger lenses like my 50-140mm, 100-400mm or the viltrox f1.2 primes (27 and 75). I will use the xt50 with my smaller lenses, sigma 18-50mm, xf 16mm mm f2.8, xf 35mm f2, viltrox 1.4mm primes, etc. I could have gone with 2 xt5s given the price, but I wanted the form factor, as it's a 5-6l sling with the xt50, or a full peak design back pack with the xt5. Is the xt5 better, certainly, is the xt50 aimed at the same use case or users, almost certainly not.

Am considering on both but not sure. I live in Miami and truck driver and visit DR a lot so weather sealing is my concern

I think the x-t50 specifications are well considered for someone new to photography or someone who wants hassle free way to produce JPEGs. The inclusion of ibis is perfect for a beginner as the causes of camera shake are less likely to be understood. This is especially important for the highly demanding 40MP sensor. The 40MP will be more forgiving of cropping which is an important tool for a beginner who is likely to have a smaller range of lenses. My personal preference is the X-T5 but I’m not the target market for the X-T50. I prefer the x-T5 due to the weather sealing, iso dial, larger form factor, and better battery.

The only thing I don’t like about the xt-xx cameras is that the eyecup material becomes sticky in time and the rubber is a pain to clean.

I reckon ibis is huge on these small sensor cameras because their tiny lenses always struggle to get enough light in. Ibis means you can often compensate with slower shutter speed and get results more like full frame.

My rule is I never buy 2nd hand camera’s. I dont agree about your usabilty and ease of use statements as if you use Fuji you’ll find both cameras easy enough to use and if you use any camera enough you’ll get used to it in time. The XT-50 still has the same fuctionality minus the extra dials but you can still program the existing dials on the X-T50 for exposure triangle which is physically quicker to dial into and allows one handed operation which is the very reason DSLR’s went away from all the 35mm dial days. You say the size and weight is not much but when you travel minimalist its a substancial difference. To me the only thing that is not right about the XT-50 is the price when you have the XT-30ii at rrp in AUD $1449 the XT50 at $2599 and the X-T5 at $2899 its not really in between so unless size and weight are the factor then the XT5 would be the choice.

I would prefer T5 for little price difference i would have more battery life,dual sd card slot,water sealing body and better uncropped video performance.

Thanks, good review

I agree with your thoughts Thierry to me weather sealed is a big factor I think the XT5 is just the best way to go with these two cameras.

I think Fujifilm missed opportunity to do same makeup as XS20 with trans 4 image and gen 5 processor to bring the price down so it could give a better gap pricing to the XT5 unless they are realigning with a new model release.

I have the XT30i and the XT4. And I would rather upgrade the XT4 to the XT5 than the XT30 to XT50 tbh. I like the left dial on the XT30 more than the film simulation dial. I guess. Switching modes is more useful than switching the simulations. I guess. 😅

I think a C1-C6 dial would have been great. Just being able to program in some scenarios for high speed shooting, locked at ISO 100, film simulations with settings etc.

That orange glow on the x-T5 ❤

nice review, i agree with all the points but, although the price difference body only is 300, the difference with same kit lens (at least in Germany) is higher. The kit price was very much at the upper limit so hence no x-t5 for me. The film dial does not bother me much but the better EVF w greater coverage plus weather resistance would have been nice. Anyway, will be a nice change from the x-t20 it replaces. I guess it all comes down to what you can afford and whether you are comfortable buying used.

I think the missing WR but kitting with WR lenses was the biggest problem. The 2nd biggest issue is opting for the film sim dial over the drive dial which was the standard for the older X-Txx lines. The nail in the coffin for me was using the old batteries. I started with Fuji with the X-T20 and loved it, and ended up selling it to my cousin for cheap when I got a used X-T4 I decided later that I wanted another smaller Fujifilm body for days I didn't need the WR and ended up with an X-S20 I eventually ended up trading my X-T4 in for an X-T5 because I need to have at least one WR body for rainy day, and dusty environment shooting. I'd been considering the X-T50 as a possible alternative and one camera body kit solution since dual cards aren't necessary for me, but lacking the newer modern battery and the lack of WR really put it out of the running for me.

Thanks for this. I The XT50 looks tiny in your hand. I have the XT5. I am a woman with smaller hands but once I help and XT20 and found it too small. I would still like to take a look at the XT50. The guy below that has both is very lucky. I have my Ricoh GR111x as my point and shoot though.

I am a former XT20 user. Like you said, I found the XT20 to be too small for my hands. I had to "pinch" it with two fingers instead of holding it. But the XT50 is another story. Very comfortable to hold. The XT50 is slightly larger than the XT20, and Fujifilm has redesigned the grip so that my fingers can rest properly on the camera. I guess you have to find a store to experience it for yourself. For your reference I am a 5'5" female.

I think the X-T50 is closer to the X100 VI than the X-T5. I think alot of people on the X100 VI waitlist will go for the X-T50

Same here, like Fuji film effect but no replacement for X100VI, I am happy with my A7R5 and GM Lens... so I choose X-T50 (just avoid the weather anyway)

Benim için 100 gr hafif olması kullanmadığım bir ton özellikten daha önemli. 20 yıldır amatör fotoğrafçıyım. Body ve lensten gelen 200 gr hafiflik paha biçilemez. Suya dayanıklı olan hangi makinenizle yağmurda fotoğraf çekmeye cesaret edebiliyorsunuz. Diger özelliklerde umrumda değil. Gövdede titreşim engelleme olması küçük olması hafif olması ve aynı sensöre sahip olması x-t50 almama yetti. Sıfır olarak aldım. X-T5 Makinemi satılığa çıkardım.

In Australia a brand new x-t5 on sale is cheaper than the x-t50, it really is a no brainer. The x-t5 is more future proof. It has WR, better battery life, better recording limits, better evf and not to mention it isn't that much bigger than x-t50. I can't justify paying that much for a camera that can only be used in limited weather conditions and environments, that's just ridiculous.

I am also from Australia and agree 100%. I have an X-S10 and want to upgrade but after seeing the X-T50 I've decided to get a used X-T5. IMO it's a no brainer. I just cannot see why anybody would buy an X-T50 over an X-T5. The size and weight difference is very negligible but the difference in features is huge for a very similar price.

@@martingreenberg870 the price was a kick in the balls for sure. The xt** line is supposed to be 90% of the xt* line at half the cost. I love the small form factor so was prepared to suck it up but then got slapped in the face with the sepia dial. I can't spend $1500 on a camera that isn't weather sealed and has a completely useless dial staring at me from prime real estate on top of the camera.

X-T50 should have been priced at $750-850.
