Wait for my review tomorrow... It's gonna look even more of a reasonable price😉

@@LucaPetraliaPhotography oehhh so excited. Will be my answer to my search for een Private camera. As a professional photo and videographer who has most relevant RF L lenses and canon bodies I look for something totally different, but still with some ease of use. Hope fuji can help with that :)

You'll definitely like the new kit lens! Thanks as always

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Enjoy what you have, it's more than most photographers will ever need anyway. I am personally attracted to the GFX system but like you, I just can't justify it, money and size wise, for what I do normally. That being said however... The image quality is outstanding with that. As for comparing used and new market I'm not a big fan of that as it changes the protective and, let's be clear... Most people buy a camera once every 5/6 years, those will buy new, there's no way they'll buy used. That's what I was referring to. Cheers

I know, great lens

You are right, I'll pin a clarification on that

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As for the 16-55, I too hope they can make it F2, but you can expect the size to be huge as well. Not a big deal for some, but definitely a big deal for others. We'll see. For what concerns sports/wildlife, the camera for that is clearly the X-H2s. Although you may not like the form factor, that's the camera they prepared for that. And it does really good

A f/2 on a Fujifilm X camera is equivalent to f/3 on full-frame, so not comparable. It will probably even be heavier than the f/2.8 full-frame options, just like their 16-55mm f/2.8, 50-140mm f/2.8, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, and 50mm f/1, all are heavier than full-frame options with the same or faster specs. Nothing special about any of the above. I use Fujifilm X myself, but people seem to forget that the crop factor impacts both focal length and aperture. Yes, an f/2 lens will let in the same amount of light on any sensor, but as the sensor crops in (some light is cut off), the light gathering and blur are similiar to f/3 on full-frame. Apply ~1.5 to focal lengths and apertures. Here are some examples: 10-24mm f/4 = 15-36mm f/6 16-80mm f/4 - 24-120mm f/6 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 = 24-75mm f/4.2-7.2 16-55mm f/2.8 = 24-82,5mm f/4.2 18-55mm f/2.8-4 50-140mm f/2.8 = 75-210mm f/4.2 70-300mm f/4-5.6 = 105-450mm f/6-8.4 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 = 150-600mm f/6,8-8,4 150-600mm f/5.6-8 = 225-900mm f/8.4-12 8mm f/3.5 = 12mm f/5.3 18/23/35/50/90mm f/2 = 27/35/53/75/135mm f/3 18/23/33 f/1.4 = 27/35/50 f/2.1 50mm f/1 = 75mm f/1.5 56mm f/1.2 = 84mm f/1.8 Most of these lenses can be found on Fujifilm at the same price, weight and size. Many claim that the Fujifilm 18-55mm f/2.8-4 is a fast kit zoom, but it's not. It's equal to the age old 28-80/90mm f/4-5.6 in terms of specs, and even slightly heavier. The latter does make sense, though, as it has OIS. The only owns that don't have direct replacements so far, are the 8mm f/3.5 and 50mm f/2. There is the Laowa 11mm f/4.5, though, which weighs a bit more, but is wider and faster. Although I love and use Fujifilm, I think that many of their lenses are a a bit misleading, and people seem to be confuse the specs. Yes, many of the above are small and compact, but similiar lenses are made on full-frame with similiar parametres. When comparing apertures, they are not impressive. The 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is one of my favourites, but it's reallt a f/6-8.4, and if they were to make one that would give the same results as a f/4-5.6 on full-frame, it would most likely be bigger and heavier. Being smaller due to covering a smaller sensor is one factor, but they must also factor in aperture if wantint a 1:1 comparison. I'm not stating any of this to make the system seem less appealing or argue, but it's just the reality. As for the GFX system, they need some zoom lenses with more range. I still only see this system's appeal for architecture, landscapes, products and portraits. Full-frane cameras will have similiar resolution soon, and the slight gain in dynamic range isn't a worthy trade compared to faster and more accurate full-frame cameras, which also have longer and faster lenses. That is at least true for wildlife, and probably will be for a decade or more. Although it's relatively small for what it is, it's still unnecessarily big for what one gains. Anyway, I enjoy using Fujifilm, mostly due to haptics and aesthetics, and I'm excited to see their next moves. If they had a full-frame system with the styling of their APS-C line, but a lens philosophy of a mixture of that and Sony, I would be sold. That will probably never happen, though, as the Japanese are infinitely proud and stubborn.

@@carbon6372Sony’s “lens philosophy” is to cripple 3rd party options, which is a shame, since you have to buy big, heavy, expensive 1st party lenses to unlock all the best features. Fuji doesn’t play that game with its 3rd party lens makers, another reason it is such a good value system. As for the rest, I mean, ok. But I’m not sure what your point is-all I said was I want a 16-55 f/2. I don’t care how small, big or heavy it is so long as it produces excellent image quality and takes a beating like a good pro lens should. Fuji's APS-C system is awesome because it can produce professional image quality at a far lower cost typically with size and weight, though it will never beat the GFX line for maximum image quality and print size. That's why I plan to stay with APS-C for low-light shooting and add GFX someday for situations where I know that resolution/max print sizes are desirable (not to mention the unique aspect ratio). It is awesome to get to shoot my Fuji typically 1-stop lower than FF and yet have MORE depth of field and LOWER ISO or a faster shutter speeds to work with. I've saved thousands on fast primes and zoom lenses with top notch optics so I can handle the few tradeoffs that it has entailed. As much as I love Sony/Canon/Nikon, the cost is just a lot higher for what you are getting (or not getting).

I agree on the approach you recommend. It would have been the perfect approach. Realistically they can still do that with a firmware upgrade (minus changing the engraving in the dial)

They are metal

The X-T50 is a higher tier compared to the X-T30. That being said yes, price is a bit higher than it should have been

I'm pretty sure you can, I didn't have the time to set the camera up during my test. But I believe if you put that dial on C, you should be able to operate as usual

@snarkyguy you can! I asked a Fuji rep at my local camera store when I got to play with it, as I love using recipes when shooting. You can store up to 7 recipes on the XT-50 by going into the custom settings and then can pull them up in the Q menu.

ive heard that you cant save the custom white balance on the recipes on the xt50, whereas on the xt5 it is possible

Not a toy camera at all, but steep price for sure

OK THEN!!! 😅
