The film simulation dial is completely useless. They should have just added a couple of custom modes to the existing dial instead. I reckon 90% of people don’t switch their film simulation often enough to make that more useful than a drive dial. Fujifilm has said they’ll continue making the X-T30 II. I would buy that camera or the X-S20 over the X-T50. Which is a shame because I would have bought this camera if all Fujifilm had done was add IBIS to the X-T30 II and price it below $1,100. However, the new 16-50mm kit lens is very enticing.

Chris’s hair is the ultimate endorsement for the Canada School of Barbering.

That price without being weather resistant isn't going to cut it for me. I already have an X-S20 for small stabilized camera that's not weather resistant, and an X-T4 for all weather shooting. My X-T4 upgrade path will either go to X-T5 or X-H2 at this point. If they'd offer a weather resistant variant of either the X-S20 or X-T50 I'd be willing to pay that price since I could trade both of my current camera bodies in since Dual card isn't a requirement for me but I definitely need one Weather Resistant body in my kit for rainy days and dust storms.

Same. I mean surely WR is only withheld for artificial market segmentation, and isnt a physical size limitation to pop in a couple of rubber gaskets.... Heck, almost all new phones now have very decent WR and most can survive limited immersion. Convenience factor for that is high. What I'd love to see (and would pay for) would be a X-Txx 'pro' - the best possible small form factor camera they can make, that doesnt get nerfed on features that aren't physical size limited. So that means including eg better sensor, WR, higher res LCD/EVF etc. Leave the video heat mgmt, bigger battery etc etc to the larger body X-Tx. And lose that damn sim dial - cripes....

The only reason to not buy an X-T5 over the X-T50 would mostly be due to lack of stock. Its quite overpriced considering that is using the old batteries. Thankfully I bought the X-T5 last year.

Im happy with my XT30II. Glad i bought when it first came out. It’s perfect as an everyday camera, The 18-55 kit lens has stabilisation if I need it.

Looks like a good camera, if a bit pricey compared to past X-Txx models. The film sim dial is a bit of a gimmick and would better as either a C dial going between custom modes or the traditional drive dial.

Looking forward to the lens review.

As always, great video, guys! Kind of a bummer the EVF is low res, and no water sealing, (and that price point!) but it's an appealing camera. I'l be interested in your review of the new zoom.

Nice job fuji! I like how they managed to improve the looks of the camera quite a bit. Cool to use as a second camera for daily use. Living in rainy Netherlands, I would have preferred weathersealing though.

I love my X-T30 and was looking forward to an upgraded model, but the pricing just does not make sense when considering the rest of the fuji lineup as most people have pointed out. So far a lot of the early reviews have largely ignored the existence of the X-T5, but almost all of the commentary from viewers and consumers is that the the small price difference makes the high-end option a better buy. The X-TXX range's main selling points have almost always been weight, size and price: - The X-T50 now weights 100g more than the X-T30, and sits a lot closer in weight to the X-T5. - The extra weight of the X-T5 is partly due to a larger battery, and one of my biggest gripes with the X-T30 is the battery life. This is especially noticeable when travelling and spending long hours out and about taking photos. - Physical dimensions are still pretty small, but depending on the ergonomics that might be negated by the fact a lot of X-T30 users (like myself) end up buying external grips which increase size and weight anyway. The updated grip looks better, but how does it compare to the X-T5? - IBIS addition is a contentious one, but my point of view is that the X-TXX range should not try to be hybrid cameras when the X-SXX range exists. It is a nice addition, sure, but is it worth sacrificing the things that made the X-T30 an attractive camera (weight, size and price). I have hardly ever thought to myself that my X-T30 could really use some IBIS, mostly because I will grab the 18-55mm with OIS if I intend filming anyway. The new kit lens looks great, and them removing OIS obviously meant that IBIS becomes more valuable, but is that what X-TXX photographers need? - Price is the biggest talking point for obvious reason. The X-T5 is not significantly more expensive considering the upgrades appear worth it to many for the extra cost. Better ergonomics while still being compact enough, significantly improved battery life, WR, better viewfinder, dual sd slots. - I could be wrong, but I think the X-T30 was about 40% cheaper than the X-T3, yet the X-T50 is only 18% cheaper than the X-T5? That doesn't make sense. Aside from the features that made the X-TXX range attractive, the new dial makes no sense either considering most users liked using entire recipes and not just changing the base film sim. Being unable to store the rest of the settings makes the new film sim dial largely worthless IMO. I personally would have really enjoyed that dial if it was able to store custom settings, as using the Q-menu and cycling through recipes is a tiny bit cumbersome.

Excellent video 😊!

Were you able to try out the teleconverter function and the subject detection functions? In video and photo? How is the image quality in compartison to a zooming lens?

For me, this camera is a miss. The 40mp sensor (and its drawbacks), Film Simulation dial, and price make this a no-go. I like the body changes, minus the aforementioned dial. I could even tolerate that old battery. But I would have much preferred the older 26mo sensor and saved a few hundred bucks. For my money, the X-S20 or X-T5 are more practical. What Fuji needs to put out is an X-T5s - an X-T5 with the stacked 26mp sensor. That camera would sell out.

If you crop a lot, the 40 may be worthwhile. It is the IBIS that does it for me, although I am not going to pay launch price for it, I'll wait.

great camera, I would be interested to see a more detailed comparison with other cameras in terms of video performance, for example, which 6.2k is better in terms of detail and dr between this and the x-s20?

Not having the pleasure of having/used a Fuji camera yet, I'd have to say if/when I do buy one, it will be the XS-20! It just seems to provide more bang for the buck as a hybrid camera with great video features.

I really like the small cameras for Fuji, I used to own the XT20 and when this leaked, I was excited and wanting to buy this. But after knowing the price, I went with XT5. No regrets with my hard earn money :)

As usual, a great video. But seeing the hollowed-out Eau Claire Market made me sad; I remember when it was a happening place.

They need to bring back the dedicated exposure metering dial. That's the number one biggest reason why I'm hesitant to upgrade from my xt-3

I am a landscape photographer and own a XT30, as well as a XT5. Improvements I would have wished for in a XT50 is IBIS (tick) and weather sealing (DOH). The 40mp sensor in this camera is an overkill as you are hard pushed to get compact lenses (other than the neat primes) to complement it. Fujifilm just look at the OM5 as an example of a useful outdoor camera.

I will wait for X-E5 but I assume they will go with such a sick price jump with that as well. If they do I may ditch my Fuji especially in times like this when we have Sony A7C II and now Panasonic S9 coming. Those Fuji prices are ridiculous now.

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 right now!

I’ll be keeping my XT-20 which still works great and cost me $600 AUD new. Don’t need the megapixels or IBIS.

Nice video. I wonder if a really need 40mp and if they are suitable for hand-held operation. Maybe with the ibes, I don't know. Anyway the camera looks fantastic.

Can anyone confirm whether this has the 160mp multi-shot mode the X-T5 and X-H2 have? I've been looking at switching to XF from Canon EF-s for personal use (would prefer an X-T5 for the durability) and professional use (tethered on a copystand, where an X-T5 is overkill), but I'd really like that hi-res multi-shot if I went with the cheaper model.

I've owned an X-T20 and X-T30 from new. And in theory this new X-T50 is the ideal camera for me if placed in the old price range. But pricing this at just £200 below a new X-T5 seems utter madness. Why would I buy this camera over the X-T5 if it's no long the much cheaper alternative? Currently you can get a mint condition used X-T5 for less than the price of an X-T50 new - Fuji wouldn't make a penny from that sale. That shouldn't be the case. The X-T50 should be priced below used X-T5 levels.

I got the 27mm pancake lens, and it's a perfect everyday carry. Then I have a handful of others for specific situations. So why did I upgrade? First, the newest 40mp X Trans sensor. Second, IBIS. Third, pop-up flash. Fourth, I don't shoot video-so I'm happy with a photo-first approach. Do I think I'll use the film-sim dial? Probably not very often. I have a couple of recipes I like, and I'll probably stick with those. This is a beautiful camera. And it's a big bump over the X-E4. I would never even consider an X-T5 for size alone.

Weird as I am in exactly the same boat as you and have the same thoughts. The X-E5 is rumoured for 2025 but I am impatient and have GAS. I have missed a flash, rare as it is, but fill would have been useful at times. I'll never use the film sim dial, as I too use recipes. But I have missed IBIS from my old Sony for low-light shots, which I do a fair bit. Using primes means I crop a fair bit too, so the more mpix, the better. I am waiting for prices to fall after availability and then may trade in my X-E4. After inflation the X-T50 is only around 100 GBP more than the X-T30 was, so already not too bad. Hope you enjoy your new toy. 🙂

This camera is designed after all the X100V TikTok trends to give people 2 choices: You have some money > XT-50, you got more money > drawn to XT-5. The new 50 will bring more sales to the 5 for sure.

I heard the GFX 100Sii has anamorphic desqueeze now. Did you happen to catch if the x-t50 did as well? I'm hoping Fuji will roll that out in all their new cameras

I guess I'm glad I jumped from the X-TXX series up to the X-T5 at launch. With this price increase and the bizarre lack of weather sealing on this body, this seems like a bizarre option. Hate that fuji refuses to weather seal their smaller bodies.

Aiming for beginners for $1500 LOL. Good luck with that Fuji and bye And what did you do with the left dial. It was perfect when it had S (single) CL, CH, BKT1, BKT2 (CH or bkt are my favs) I don't use Film Simulation, only for video (and not that often) that camera is a no buy 100%

The XT30 body only price at intro when adjusted for inflation would be £1159 in todays money. The 50 with IBIS etc is £1299. Not a bad deal. How about you get your head around inflation?

I do not believe! Does this camera make 4k oversampling video with crop only? Is it means micro four third, isn't it? X-T30 I & II do 4k from full sensor width. :(

The 1400 price is obviously partly inflation but also just a high anchor that will come down with time and cashback stuff. Last year the XS-20 launched for the same and I got it for 1240 less than a month later with cashback specials. This one here will sit at 1200 soon I guess

I loved the XT30 & was looking forward to an upgrade but this doesn't do it for me. $500 more and a dedicated dial for film sims?

One thing I am concerned about is whether it can shoot videos with low shutter speed (like 1/8 s) with internal recording. Because my xt-30 can only shoot low shutter speed with external recording. I guess fuji will continue to cut this feature from the xt 5🙄

I'd dig the price hike if they had given it a metal top and dials, solid retro, like the X100 series. As it is, yeah, X-T5 is the much better deal.

You can tell the difference often between a phone photo and a full frame photo. The curious thing about Fuji (you know where I’m going with this)

Is the film simulation dial customizable?

Nope. Even the FS1, 2 and 3 can not be assigned to a custom recipe. Pointless to me.

the price increase is something that no one will ever be excited about, but on the whole I'm still very excited about this camera. I don't want all the extra weight and size of the X-T5, but the IBIS is well worth the weight gains it did make. I shoot primarily old manual prime lenses, so I've been missing IBIS in my X-T30 having had it in my last mirrorless camera from... 2012 😆

Yeah IBIS would be welcome on my 35mm f/0.95. It's why I am interested in the X-T50, being an X-E user I don't want to go the next size up to the X-T5.

What are they going to do after the x-t90 and x-t9?

Create a marketing gimmick from a new feature to justify a new name. "ohhh it's called X-R1 because of RESOLUTION"

It‘s hard to believe that in perhaps 15 years, photography is still the same. In the best case, Fuji will establish new camera lines with features for e.g. spatial photography and/or other AI stuff that we can’t even imagine today. In the worse case, Fujifilm as we know it today will leave the market like Kodak did.

I thought I’m going to get major gas when this drops as im using a xt30ii basically daily. This camera doesn’t really hit the spot tho, the film simulation dial seems so useless to me as you can already change your simulations through the Q menu or customize a button to do it. I have to say tho that ibis is cool but as a stills shooter and not really a video guy I don’t think I was ever missing ibis and I used cameras with ibis before i got my Fuji.

I would prefer the 26mp "old" sensor and a lower price. The price is not ok. The XS20 and XT5 gives you much more for your bucks

Yes

Now I wish for X-T5s and X-T5m(onochrome)

Regarding KEH, I've never traded my gear to them before, but I have with MPB and the last experience really made me mad. I bought some used gear from them in like new condition. I ended up changing to something else a few months later so I sold it back to them in the EXACT SAME condition, but they 'rated' it less than Like New. That's BS / shady. Of course they didn't reply when I asked about it.

Chris, how is its size compared to the S9? Jordan says XS20 better choice for video, but I don’t believe that the IBIS there is anything close in real use. Even here Richard Wongs review/testing notes the effective IBIS is about 4 stops, though for a small camera that’s not bad. Look forward to a formal review…still nice to see more small cameras. Surprised that the screen can’t face you, but that will likely appeal to many folks who prefer a tilt screen. As others noted, Fuji,seems to be asking a lot for this one,but it does seem like a nice option overall.

The Samsung S9 phone is dramatically thinner than the X-T50. They have similar dimensions in regards to height and width but the depth is downright pocketable in favor of the Samsung S9. Hope this answers your question!

Yes, Fuji have got this about right, wasn't sure on the looks at first but seeing it in hand, it looks ok, and the feature set is spot on for the price point.

Why are Fujifilm still adding Sepia?

The spec upgrade definitely explained the price jump. However, it is super close to the XT-5, and the target customer is no longer beginners for the XT-__ series. Fuji abandoned the beginners market which is kinda sad. Same trend happens to the X100 series as well.

@JackBurton-qp4hc

"and the target customer is no longer beginners for the XT" It literally is though. It's why it has the FS dial, to attract new users. It is the ILC equivalent of the X100VI, hence the similar price.

It seems a pretty unexciting update - which happens in every camera line from time to time. IBIS is great but at this point we're all expecting it. The resolution upgrade - well that's just the sensor but almost no one actually needs it at all and most of those who do need it seldom. No EVF update and so-so video mean really mean this is no stunner. Just personally, I like the squared off look and I'm hoping that if we get an XE5 with IBIS that they'll stick to the stellar aesthetic of the XE4.

Nice little camera, insane price.

Fuji. I'd happily trade some megapixels and IBIS for some weather-sealing on the smaller cameras.

Cool!

So glad i took the plunge and got an X-T5 instead of waiting for this to drop lmao

Looks like I’ll be waiting for the X-E5 with IBIS and 26 mp sensor!! They need to release the 18mm f2 at the same time

@JackBurton-qp4hc

I doubt the X-E5 will have a 26mp, history suggests it will align with the XT and X100 lines.

I've always wanted to get an X-T30, but after watching this video, I'm now convinced that I should instead be saving up for an X-S20.

Very expensive for a Fuji entry level camera, currently the XT-5 is on offer for £1,449.00 albeit body only.

When will the X-Pro 4 be here and what about the X-E5? I’ve borrowed a couple of the X-T series (including X-T5) and they just aren’t appealing visually and this X-T50 looks pricey for what it is.

havent watched the review yet but the price difference between the X-T5 and X-T50 is only $200, what are the differences?

I have xt30ii. Is it worth upgrading to this?

If you have to ask, then no.

Looks great, but lack of weathervsealing? C’mon. That’s not a big lift and significantly increases utility.
