You speak from my soul. 50% price increase vs predecessor X-T30II is insane for this type of camera. Latest prices on camera store from today: X-T5 € 1.649,- vs X-T50 € 1.520,-. And going for X-T50 you loose weather resistancy, dual card slots and you get lower burst rates, garbage battery, worse EVF and this funky FS-Dial that nobody wants.

I sold my fujifilm x-t5 camera. I bought X-T50. A built-in flash, 100 grams of weight, and a smaller size were the features I wanted. I don't care about dual card slots. Small battery is no problem for me. I have a few spares. I've never taken enough photos in a day to drain a battery. Those who criticize the machine are people who have never owned it and used it. Fuji made the machine I've been waiting for years. Thanks

Good to know

Hi , you are spot on with the negative sides. Dial would mean you better have an option to overwrite them or something. And the price would only make sense if it came with the brand new lens.

I bought an X-T30 Mark II 3 weeks before the launching of that X-T50. And I don't regret it! 😁

Nice!!

Keeping my xt30ii.

I agree with you and I'll stick to the X-T5 but if I wasn't a pro photographer I'd probably love the X-T50 and this is probably Fuji's goal: propose a very capable camera, compact and light, for amateur photographers or people who want to keep it simple and fun. In other words a super powerful and capable compact camera. Anyway thanks for sharing!

Great review Tudor, I share very similar views. I was very excited about this release and it turned into disappointment. I tried the XT50 last week, great ergonomics. But aside from that there is not a material difference with the XT30ii, so I'm keeping it. A better LCD, better EVF, better battery, ISO dial, any of those would have been a better improvement than the ridiculous FS dial. The new camera is designed to bring new users to the Fuji system, but no so much for the current ones.

all i ever wished for mark 2 versions of xf 18&23 yet fuji keeps ignoring

I love my X-T30 II and will not part with it. Will I ever find a use for the X-T5? I have an X-T1 and X-T2, therefore, I doubt it. The X-T2 is still a great camera to carry around. Thanks for exposing the weaknesses and pricing issues of the new X-T50.

How would you implement such a film simulation dial? What lenses do you recommend for the XT30 II? Thank you

@Tudor_Mateescu

Ай бұрын

1. Exactly how Q button works on X-PRO3 - just image quality controls preset per recipe / per assigned slot (no AF type, shutter type how are implemented from X-T4 to X-T5 making the software hard to use). 2. It depends on what focal length you want to shoot - easy answer any lens will produce very good results. The starter lens should be 23mm f2 or 35mm f2 (my favorite for starting a Fujifilm kit).

Great and honest review, this camera presents too many contradictions due to some compromise

Would you recommend the Fujifilm - X-T30 || with XF18-55mm Lens Kit or Fujifilm X-T50 with XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens Kit? the X-T30 is priced at $1299 and the X-T50 is priced at $1499

Hard choice. That small zoom is possible not to resolve the 40mp sensor. I don't know for sure. But if you have the money I would go for x-t50 It's definitely a better camera in the long run. But that zoom will not help you much... You need to add other lenses. If you don't want to add other lenses or better zooms I would go with x-t30 with 18-55.

Although the 40mp is attractive for me but the price is so high for the x-t50….. i have 2 full frame cameras but really interested in having a 3rd camera… currently I have 3 options 1- x-t30ii 2- x-t200 3- x-a7 For the film simulator dial, I think fujifilm x-t200 have it only without label on the dial

which is the thumb grip you have on the x-t30ii? is the one you have in amazon?

The film simulation dial makes no sense, big mistake from Fuji in my opinion. Most people use film recipes, so this makes this dial completely useless. I don’t understand how Fuji missed the target here. Hope this comes on a firmware update indeed.

You will need to remember the film simulation base for each of the recipes in Q. Otherwise the dial will prevail over the repice, in other words a recipe for disaster. ;)

I love the Film Sim dial. Hate the price. Hate the ancient EVF I’ve been using since 2013.

I have a Xt30ii and was considering the xt50 as an upgrade but the price is crazy. Possibly if they did a software update to change the film dial to change saved custom recipes I would be more inclined. But at that price, I’ll just cough up the difference and get a xt5 lol

Thank you for the video. I am completely new to this- looking to buy my first real camera. Would like to use it mostly documenting my family’s adventures (hiking / swimming/ beach/ home/ etc). I don’t mind spending money on getting something good but I am new with no real experience so I know there is a limit to what I can do with lack of skill (I don’t need a $4,000 camera because I am not skilled enough to need it). I was thinking Sony a7iii , Fuji xt50 (maybe xt30ii). I honestly think the bigger the camera is better for me as I have bigger hands and don’t need to have something uncomfortably small. Any other suggestions?

No other suggestions - I think xt5 or xt50 will be great for your needs. On Sony a7iii you don't have good colors and you must edit the raw files.

I agree on many of your points, Tudor. It's a nice camera for sure, but I'm so happy that I went with the X-T30 II for my everyday carry camera. The price of the X-T50 is so close to the X-T5 that I certainly would go for that instead... oh and also I'd go so far as to say the current price of the X-T30 II is actually a bargain now!

I think fuji were better saving the parts for the release of an xpro 4. Also... for the 1st time for a fuji camera, if I bought it I couldnt sleep with it in my bedroom... what an ugly piece of kit 🤢

Instead of releasing new models all the time Fujfilm would do better to be able to produce the X100VI in sufficient numbers to avoid the "scalpers". In short, I liked Fujfilm, they had a soul, now it's only about money. I'm moving on.

Thank you 😁

They will keep X-T30II because they are afraid the X-T50 sales will be bad. :) About the only place I hear people praising the new X-T50 is on KZread. :) If you try to get the REAL, HONEST opinions on the ground, this camera has been trashed many times all over. For those who are here, let me summarize 2 BIG reasons why you SHOULD NOT get the X-T50: It's way overpriced; the silly film simulation dial is wasting precious real estate on the camera. Note that you CANNOT store any custom colors of your own. Fujifilm perhaps got all arrogant or didn't do their homework properly on this X-T50. I'd be patiently waiting for the X-T60 and see what they will do. I'm pretty sure they will remove that darn film simulation dial. For those serious about photography, pay just a few hundred $ more to get the awesome X-T5. It is more robust and has better features than this X-T50. If you just want to use a lightweight camera for semi-serious or travel shoots, get the X-T30II. You get better value for money. Skip this crazy X-T50 unless you've got a lot of spare cash to burn. Oh yes, and stop watching KZread videos on the X-T50. Chances are, they are filled with false advertising or impressions as many of the people presenting it have affiliations with Fujifilm.
