Props on all this. The idea that Sony has bad colors is a holdover from what was once true but is no longer. You’ve made a killer choice and the A7Cii is definitely on my list of cameras to try.

Relatable. I dropped my XE4 and was presented with a repair bill worth more than the camera. So I ordered a silver 7CR and 40mm G that should be here today or tomorrow. I think Fuji is a great system but I was ready for a change (I also own a ton of GM glass for video stuff). The sucky part of moving to Sony for still will be losing film sims, which is why I am here. I have to try and replicate the look. That was the best part of the Fuji for me. I'll try this film some

the film dial functionality will probably change in the next firmware if enough people b*tch about it (which really seems to be the case..). We really need to be able to use the recipies with it at least!

I have the a7cii,lovely camera,and am heavily into Sony with 6 g-master lenses,I also have the Fuji xpro2 and some older Fuji lenses,35mm f1.4 and the 18mm f2 and 56mm f1.2….have to say for everyday use the Fuji is far far more fun….

Is that thumb grip native for A7cii or does other thumb grips fit on it too?

That stupid gimmick FiLm button ruined this camera, also no WR, no new Fuji battery....

Use Movie Optimized mode for video and set your settings with the command dials like any other camera. When you switch to movie mode, it’ll ignore the dials and use your previous video settings. You can also set shutter speed to 1/48 with the command dials. I did a video about this very thing. Hope it helps. Using Movie Mode Wrong On Fujifilm X-T5 ruclips.net/video/-8SJHij6kcg/видео.html

One bad Fuji experience was enough for me. Missed shots at a graduation. 2 people standing right in front of me and the Fuji couldn't even do it. I left Fuji.

thanks for the great video and preset, gonna try it out the next few days:)! the a7cii looks so cool with the square lens hood and the zeiss 35, gonna save up for that :))) can i ask what picture profile you shot this video in? i really like the colors you're having, thanks!

I love my (silver) A7Cii. I used to have a x100f (silver) and it really reminds me of this. This is my travel/edc camera for sure! BTW, I recently have been trying the FL Creative Style vs ST or PT what I have used for 4 years. Been liking the results.

Could I use that on FX30 ?

I have and I love a7cii

I just wish it had a joy stick (focus). Also, I wish more Sony lenses had aperture rings.

Kiddo I have the same camera and love it, look up alphaguard skins, made by 3M and you can make the camera all silver or any color you want, they have camo, graffitti and a host of other designs

Great video bro! Love the a7cii honestly. Just great size and fun to use! Definitely agree having that AF is clutch!

Good stuff. I'm also using the 7cii as my EDC, originally got the 7c because it was the first full frame cam in a compact rangefinder style body, and FF is just a huge help if you use a lot of vintage glass like I did. Thanks for sharing the recipe, gonna try it out when I'm out shooting.

Thanks for sharing the recipe!

congrats on the camera bro. recipe looks sick too! try some manual focus lenses for a nice change of pace and even more of a “film” look.

Let’s go bro! 🎉

Don't like this videos exposure

I just got this camera and I am In love. All the things you dislike, I love about it. I'm a beginner and new to Fuji so the whole 40mp thing is amazing as someone who is coming from a collection of vintage digital cameras lol. I love the size, but I do have smaller hands. The pop up flash is so cute and I love it. And the film sim dial is so fun to play around with and I actually find it inspiring as someone new to learning how colors work and not ready to dive into serious editing. I get to play and learn. A lot of the hate I see on this camera comes from people who refuse to acknowledge that it wasn't for them in the first place. I appreciate that you acknowledge you are not necessarily the demographic who this would be perfect for. And if you are the right person, this is a great camera. Not all cameras are for all people. It's such a personal experience.

I agree with you 100% on the Fuji colors not being reproducible from the raw!!. Another thing I’ve noticed is that the autofocus on my Fuji (x-s10) misses focus a lot. I often have to switch to single point autofocus and slow down my shooting to nail shots, good for stills, but terrible for sports. I’m making the switch from Fuji to Sony soon!

Hahaha, 24-26 MP is more than enough. That's why I keep using my XT2 and XPRO-2.

I don't think this camera was made for you. You obviously have too many other cameras

How is the build quality of the XT50 compared to the XT5? Does it feel the same, or does it feel more plastic-y?

Link for dog, I’m tryna cop my a Freddie

Just sell all that ish and come on over to the dark-side. PANASONIC is waiting for you and has everything you need !

This is all about Sony in this review. I''ll stay with my Fuji XT5

I am buying the XT50!

Reminds me of the comments years back when the USA started to make smaller cars and the complaints came in - 'love the smaller car but it won't tow my horse float'. I am and XT5 and XH2s owner and have just purchased an XT 50 because of its small size. Life is one long compromise and if my pinky does not have anywhere to hang out on the camera so what. I find it rests easily under the camera, on my palm. I do a lot of travel photography and I grew tired of lugging around the XT5 and a 16-80mm lens all day and, because it was the only kit readily available at the moment, due to the popularity of the new XF lightweight zoom, and decided to settle on the XC 15-45mm, my first ever XC lens and am really happy because it is genuinely light and, for travel, has excellent IQ.

The XT 50 would be a great little travel camera. However to your point the ergonomics on cameras are a big deal for sure. Personally the XS20 or XS10 fit me better deeper grip. Don’t start on the fixed vs changeable lens…if you want to shoot with one lens just no worries but give yourself choices especially in travel. The tactile dials…agree with you not a fan. Much easier to keep my eye in the viewfinder and hands on the camera with the design on the XS20. That design allows me to press the drive button and go to bracketing, film simulations etc. with the toggle in a fast and ergonomic way.

Why you got it if you not like all the things you talk about? Change lenses, put on the handgrip, sensor is great, you complain about the same sensor you love in the X100VI, if it to sharp put a Black mist filter on it, it not make sense. Prices high but X100VI price is more, so why you got it anyway? You can save custom recipies on the camera just put the sim wheel in C. "you have some costumitation in there" Come on.

Recommend an everyday camera with a 70-80mm lens? I can't find one that's portable enough with good reviews...

Ppl can complain about the price all they want but you won’t find a camera with the features in it that the xt50 has for under $1200

Nice video, man. I'm so glad you mentioned the buffer! As a wedding photographer, I keep running into this and have been trying to find answers for switching from Fuji to Sony. But I have to point out: The X-T5 does have the ability to switch to all video settings, just like the Sony. It takes some set-up in the menus, however. You can basically program it to ignore the main dials and switch to the wheels. From there, you can choose things like 1/50 shutter and have it store those video settings. Then, switching from stills to video completely changes the settings and operation of the camera. No further tweaking is needed!

I put a camera-powered (no batteries!) flash on my X-T4 and I know what you mean!

You're right; The Fuji raw (X-Trans sensor) files are not properly processed by Adobe products. The autofocus is also a subject of much concern. It has not kept up with the competition. The flagship X-H2s (not the X-H2) has a stacked sensor and offers much better speed, buffer, and autofocus. If you haven't, consider trying that one. The color science matters if you shoot straight to JPeg, like many Fujifilm users. Otherwise, you can edit photos from any camera to (try to) get what you want. I chose Fujifilm because I liked having a physical ISO dial, along with the aperture ring, and shutter dial. At the time, I felt the user experience was important because it meant I would go out and photograph more often. I get around the smaller sensor size and X-Trans processing issues by using DXO Photolab on the RAW and then exporting it to Topaz AI to sharpen and enlarge. Then, I export a TIFF to Photoshop because unlike most of the Fujifilm community, I love photo editing! I think about switching to Sony or Canon because of the autofocus issues, but I have just enough luck with it to keep me using the camera. I've shot with an a7IV, in a studio setting, but I didn't feel the way I did, for example, when I shot with a Hasselblad X2D II (which I haven't gotten off my mind for 5 years). The a7IV didn't strike me as inspiring.(!) (Can you believe that!? It sounds like it should not make sense, but that was the way it felt.) Oh, and the Sony app for camera control is also light-years better than Fuji's. That's another sore spot.

I also returned the xt50. It fits my hands fine. I loved the size and weight. I also found the film sim dial useless. For $1400, I couldn't get past the lack of any weather sealing. I do like the xt50. It is a great $1000 to $1100 camera. It's not a great $1400 camera.

Get a x-s20 g it’s a mini xh2s

You are comparing two different systems. Obviously the XT5 is inferior. I have one and I only use it for travel or quick photos. For professional work I would the XH2s, its more inline with the Sonys

Give it to me instead

Even though I like small, light form-factors, I've tended to stay away from the "double digit" X-T line for the ergonomics reasons you mentioned. I've never tried one apart from picking it up in a camera store, but I know just looking at it that the cramped nature of the controls would drive me nuts.

I noticed the same thing about the X-T5...too sharp, too many megs, at least for me.

Why would you want a sensor that doesn't capture higher detail? You can remove such detail in post-processing or in camera using negative Clarity and Sharpening values, but you can't add it if your older sensor isn't giving you those details in the first place. I know which I prefer. Raw and post-processing makes everything about colour rendition a moot point too.

Thanks for sharing a very personal perspective. I ordered the XS20 3 days before the release of the XT50. I thought about cancelling the XS20 order but I knew that camera specs do not necessarily translate to good shooting experience. Thanks to you, now I do not have to worry about regretting my purchase and just go and enjoy shooting with the XS20 :) . Couple of thoughts about different features; The simulation dial on the XT50 could have been implemented like it is on the XS20 with a blank dial that is set to film simulation by default with option to set for other functions. I actually had the dial set to ISO and later set it back to film simulation after trying it out. The latest firmware update added Reala Ace without any change to the functioning of that blank dial. The 40MP sensor was a big draw but I do find that I am still able to do a lot of cropping on the 26MP. Like a lot of people trying out the Fujifilm system, I am still on the waiting list for a X100VI. I agree the XS20 is not a replacement for X100VI (love "consolation prize") but as a travel camera where more than one focal length is desirable, XS20 and XT50 makes a lot of sense in their compact size and compact lenses.

Bruuuh! I literally had the same problem after I bought the XT5. I had the X100V, XT30, XT3, and an XPRO1 and 2. I sold the XT5 for a few reasons (I didn’t like the weight distribution and handling), but the main reason was the sensor. It’s LIFELESS. Too sharp, too many megapixels, and files were waaaaay too big, even the JPEGS. I know some folks love it, but coming from the older cameras, it was an unnecessary upgrade. Glad SOMEONE finally said it!

I did the exact same thing. Bought the XT50 in place of the unavailable 100VI. Like you I will be returning it because the basic controls other than shutter speed require using the menus.

I totally get you regarding the overly detailed of the 40mp sensor. Still prefer the XT1 16mp sensor or even the XT2 24mp sensor. And the pricing ya....the XT10 series supposed to be budget friendly line, but now the pricing is almost the same as A7IV, and R6II in my country, it simply doesn't make any sense to go with fuji apsc anymore...

The grip point is valid and that's what i mentioned in one of my videos. It just gets annoying the more you switch from one camera to another.

That’s a pinky not a thumb
