In 2017, the X-T20 price was $ 750 and X-T2 was $ 1,600. Now the price of the X-T50 is $ 1,400 and X-T5 is $ 1,700. 86% increase in the X-T20 line series and 6% increase in the X-T2 line. It's crazy. I am very disappointed with the price. I will keep my X-T20, an X-T5 or an X-H2 maybe a new future Nikon Z-90 are more competitive I saw the X-Summit and it seems that now the future of Fuji is the GFX. 2 cameras in 2 years with a bonus telephoto lens. The X-T line 2 digits and perhaps 1 digit will die because Fuji does not make them competitive compared to the Full Frame competitors and will no longer make efforts to make them competitive. It is no longer the priority of Fuji, I understood with the X-Summit that the new events will have to be called the GFX-SUMMIT

@matt88169 3 ай бұрын

What in your opinion would make the X line more competitive? The release of the 40mp sensor (with average/poor readout speed) suggests to me they are still willing to push the limit on APS-C. Is it the pricing? For me the 5th gen bodies have all been lower quality, higher price. But the newer lenses have generally been stellar and priced relatively fairly.

@OmarZ77 3 ай бұрын

I bought a used X-T2 for $650 in early 2020. Still don’t see a reason to upgrade. But yeah, new prices are disappointing. If I were buying new now, I’d probably go for a $999 Nikon Z5 instead, with a $899 f2.8 kit lens and call it a day.

Very pretty camera; love that dark grey color. But otherwise, not tempting in comparison with the XT5: no ISO dial, no drive-dial, no D-pad, single card slot, smaller battery, lower resolution viewfinder, one tilt-axis less and no possibility to save recipes. The sim dial is a novelty, but not something that I'd use much, I think. It's also smaller than the XT5, but to me, that's not a benefit, as I use some bigger lenses as well. And the XT5 is already very compact.

Ok, so the real Fuji mistake for the X-T50 is not that it has a FILM dial, but that the FILM dial positions doesn't store the associated JPEG FILM SIM settings like shadow/highlights, etc. as you pointed out. It should really have done that, if Fuji was going to have that dial. That's the real UX design bummer here. I hope Fuji fixes that.

@-grey 3 ай бұрын

I think it's pretty critical to the performance. I know the intention is to be simple and have you shoot out of the box simulations with everything set to 0. However, in my experience everything set to 0 is either too extreme or a bit too flat. Every simulation needs a little 1 or 2 point nudge somewhere to look just right before I feel comfortable to switch from one to the other on the fly. Also, since their glass is pretty inconsistent in colour and contrast across the range you kind of have to adapt your settings per simulation per lens also. It would be nice if zero was a nice middle neutral point on all simulations. Being able to hit +5 Color on Velvia when 0 is pretty bold already kind feels like wasted space on the scale.

Honestly, if I could have just have the form-factor of an OG X-T20 (same megapixels even) with IBIS and great face-tracking AF, I'd be really happy.

Totally agree with your worries abut the film dial not storing film recipes. I'm a long proponent that Fuji should embrace filme recipes - is a thing that it bring a lot of people to Fuji. The problem with the current way to use recipes (with the C custom settings) is: I like to have my C positions with specific shooting scenarios (portrait, action, concert, etc), with shutter speed, ISO settings and other shooting parameters specific to that use case. But if you are using the C with Portrait settings, with some recipe, there is no way to keep using these seettings and change you filme recipe (changing from a Portra one to a B&W). You have to waste another C position with all the shooting parameters being the same, just changing the film recipe. With just a firmware update (for all the Fuji cameras), Fuji could create some Custom positions inside the film simulation menu. There you could store your recipes, and switch easily between them, in all shooting modes, custom or not. In the case of the X-T50, store it in the FS and C modes of the dial. It would be a huge point. The Panasonic S5s and the upcaming S9 do exactly that, but with LUTs - you choose the "film simulation" (in the case, the Color Profile) and you can choose a lut to put over it, right on the screen options.

When I first saw the announcement I kind of thought this new camera wa a bike with training wheels! ;) But your review/explaination of its features I can certainly see this camera makes a lot of sense for a lot of people. I'm still a little perplexed about the top dial for film simulations. So buy one and spend a little time with it, and take off the training wheels! ;)

It looks good, no doubt, but the loss of the Drive dial is disappointing, as is the lack of customisation on the Film dial. Sticking with my X-T5, despite the size :-) Thanks, Omar.

Excellent first-look walkthrough as always Omar, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I love the slate/grey colour. I also like the idea of the film sim dial more than I thought I would, but you’re right - major miss by Fujifilm in not making it store recipes. I’m not a major user of recipes myself, but I imagined the purpose of the film sim dial was to cater to that community (as you mentioned) so not having it customisable/smart in that way feels like they only went 50% of the way to their goal. Still, IBIS and the 40mp sensor in a body that size, not bad!

thanks for the video! do you have a camera bag recommendation for traveling overseas? Heading to Italy next month and looking for a small bag to hold either a fuji + 55-200 or nikon z6ii + 24-200. Antitheft, cut-proof straps would be great. I know you travel all over so I figured you have the bag down pat :)

Oh?️ no: The new shape no longer corresponds to Fujifilm's tradition of beautiful retro cameras such as the X-T20 or the X-T30. Hand on heart: Who needs an extra bike for film simulations? This can be solved with the two previous models with the "Film Simulation Series" function. Plus: From aperture 4.0 onwards, the older lenses deliver the same good results... The X-T50 is therefore more suitable for trendy people who want to exhibit their pictures on social media. To each his own....

Regarding the change from a Drive Dial to a Film Simulation Dial, I'm unsure about its practical implementation. If it's akin to having two or three Custom Recipe Banks in conjunction with Vanilla Sims, it might render the default simulations somewhat redundant. Many users, myself included, tend to use these simulations as a starting point for crafting their own unique settings rather than relying solely on pre-set recipes. In this context, a Drive Dial Mode would perhaps be more versatile, allowing seamless switching between continuous and single-frame shooting. This would be especially valuable given the XT50's upgraded AF algorithm and AI detection capabilities. The updates to the body, particularly the enhanced grip, are certainly a welcome addition. In addition, it's worth noting that the XT50 shares the same NPW126S batteries as the X100VI and older Fuji Cameras. Considering that IBIS alone can significantly impact battery life, one can only imagine the drain when shooting 6K video with all the AI detection features activated. Furthermore, while the XT50 boasts an updated body design, it's somewhat surprising that Fujifilm didn't take the opportunity to update the battery casing to accommodate the widely available XT5 battery. This oversight could have set it apart from the X100VI, which unfortunately missed the mark in this regard. I find myself torn when considering the price point of the body alone. What incentive does it offer over the XT5, which boasts superior ergonomics, a more intuitive dial layout, enhanced features, and weather sealing?

Nobody's talking about that they finally moved the tripod mount! That's so annoying. Because I always use the Peak Design plate. Now you can change batteries without screwing the plate of. 🎉

Without Omar's recommendation, I wouldn't have purchased the XT20 and XT30. I'm grateful that Fujifilm acknowledges his contributions to the Fuji community. However, I'm really disappointed with the new pricing of the XT50, especially considering the recommendations from Omar and the affordability of previous models like the XT20 and XT30.

My X-T30II does what I need quite well, I don’t do video, and I don’t need the extra megapixels. Great video though and I watch all your videos! Cheers! 🎉

@9Mtikcus 3 ай бұрын

Once the price settles (ATM this is only £150 in the UK cheaper than the XT5) it may be worth a look, If both the X-T5 and this were at original price, then the X-T50 with kit lens is £50 cheaper than the X-T5 body only... however this is not the case. I quite like the film simulator dial, on my X100VI (which maybe my favourite camera ever) I have the command ring set to film simulator, and it is fun and easy way to change. I often use the film simulator as the base for editing my Raw photos.

@matthiasj.3332 3 ай бұрын

I like the small body. However at this price point I’d expected water resistance and a better viewfinder. Dual card slot would have been nice but hard to compromise with the small body. I’d rather buy an x-t5 as it’s not that much bigger but it offers so many more features

I preordered X100VI and then cancelled that. I did some soul searching and came to the conclusions, that I will stay with my x-s10 and x-e3, until such a time, when Fujifilm (or other company) comes up with a camera that is as useful as a smartphone. I am so fed up with badly made apps needed send photos to my phone so I can share it. I'm not buying another camera until this changes.

So far as I can tell, the only thing that the X-T50 offers over the X-T5 is its smaller size and different styling. With the X-T5 you pay a little bit more but you get a better burst rate, a better articulating screen, dual card slots and a D pad. I love the look of the X-T50 but it looks a bad buy to me!
