I got the X-T50 two weeks ago and it’s been a real joy to use everyday! And I really do enjoy using the film simulation dial. The new kit lens is brilliant. Plus when I put the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens on it, it’s such a tiny but powerful kit. It’s become my everyday carry camera.
Great lens! 😊 I'm getting 27 and 18 maybe 50 later but those compact lenses are so nice, I'm getting my XT50 tomorrow can't wait after trying X30 but also XT30II so now I want to return to beautiful SOOC photos no editing @@LucaPetraliaPhotography
Speaking as a Fuji user, the X-T50 makes more sense now the price of the X-T5 has returned to normal I love the sensor on the X100 VI However I find the difference between the X-T3 and X-T5 is less, when the final image is presented to customer. Let me explain when I shoot with the X-T3/5 I am using the right lens for the job, so their is minimal to no cropping in post, and I shoot 90% in the studio. Printed to 16" x 12" is our normal print size and it would be almost impossible to tell the difference between the cameras. However, with the X100 VI sometimes I have to crop and having 40MP gives so much more flexibility. One of my colleagues who shoots wildlife loved the upgrade from the X-T3 to X-T5 as wildlife needs to be cropped. He was getting better results shooting with the X-T5 and cropping in post than he was using the X-T3 with the 1.4X TC And using the X-T5 and cropping in post was producing better results than the X-T5 using the 1.4X TC and losing a stop of light. back to the subject. X-T50 or X-S20 - If you are lens limited the X-T50 gives you much more cropping options If you are not lens limited then it is dealers choice if you want a mid range camera, video first maybe lean X-S20, photo first X-T50 2nd shooter/body camera, I used to like always using the same sensor so editing was easier, but I don't find huge differences to the colours or editing process Now there is a £400 price difference, you can have the X-T50 with kit lens or X-T5 body only, or pick up X-T50 body only, plus a prime lens The Price difference is pretty much the same between all the previous X-T cameras... the X-T3 was £400 more than the X-T30 only difference was they were both £300-400 cheaper at launch
@@9Mtikcus cool! I use Sony for birds and Fuji for fun, but maybe I’ll get a longer Fuji lens someday. My 200-600mm Sony lens stays stuck at 600mm pretty much, and when it’s sunny I pop on the teleconverter. Not sure how well I’d do with only 400mm.
@@vivlund if you shoot full frame Sony, the field of view on the Fuji 400mm is same as Sony 600mm . I know he is happy with 300mm on 40MP and says the lighter kit means he misses less opportunities. But I am talking 3rd person, as it is not me taking the photos :)
I think I will end up getting an X-T50. Thanks for the great review. I was thinking about getting an X-T30II, but lower megapixel and no IBIS are disappointing. Then I was thinking about getting an XT-5, due to weather sealing and better battery, but it's not as compact as the X-T50. The price might be a bit hard to swallow, but I think this camera is perfect for people who want portability with the latest features. Sacrifices must be made somewhere.
Just got the X-T50 yesterday as I really enjoy a small light camera with plenty of dials that reminds me of an SLR. It will fit great in my kit, especially since I carry around an extremely heavy Pentax 67.
Good to see you as always Luca. Excellent review, definitely second to none (and I did watch a few). For now I’m still waiting to see what the X-T6 brings to the table, the X-T4 that I’m currently using has yet to let me down. On a separate note, I’ve using the XF16-50 for the past couple of weeks and it doesn’t disappoint, great lens for just walking around doing street “stuff” and photography in general (I love the internal zooming mechanism), only a few times I found that I should’ve brought the XF16-80 with me for the extra reach instead, but as they say, first world problems. Be well and stay safe.
I've been a DSLR user (Hasselblad/Canon) for many years and was fully driven by PASM and always shot manual - having bought the X-T50 - "the ease of use"-part - I don't see, it took me a day or 2 to understand how to shoot fully manual and found that I am not as flexible and fast as I used to be and really have to get used to it. I can tell that fully manual is not their target audience. However, what they have put in this small package is nothing less than an achievement. The thing is loaded with features and customizations (I would say too many, because it can become confusing quickly) and image quality is great, which is the only thing that matters in the end.
Believe me, you'll end up loving the dials. It's a hard thing to change our mind after years of use of a different system, but give it time and it'll grow on you. Alternatively, put all the dials on A and use the front and rear dial. That will be more similar to what you're used to. That being said you're right, is a feature packed camera and it sometimes seems confusing. It's an issue with all the modern mirrorless cameras... They can do it all, and that becomes almost an issue for those who don't use all of those features
Bought it, tried it, but the dials were so flimsy, and used to the good control of my canons, that I exchanged it for the smallest fullframe canon, the R8, with a rf 28 2.8. But still, very nice camera.
Man i get you, feeling at home with your camera is everything. If you're used to that, it's hard to swap. I only disagree on the flimsy dial, i don't have that feedback
Le problème du XS 20 que j’ai comparé physiquement avec le XT50 et qu il est plus tourné video avec son écran arrière, beaucoup moins compact une ergonomie PASM contraire à l’esprit Fuji et accessoirement beaucoup moins jolie !
The 40 MP APS-C sensor requires high-resolution lenses. The ones available from Fuji do not meet these requirements. It's only when you attach a manual APO Voigtlander lens that the capabilities of this sensor are truly revealed ;)
Great video. I discovered it because I’ve just bought an XT-50 and I’m looking for info on how best to use it. I bought it in part because of the 16-50 lens but I also want a super small street/travel setup. Do you know if it works well with the manual focus Voigtlander 18mm lens?
Why would the Voigtlander Color Skopar 18mm f/2.8 be considered weak for Fuji? The name 'Color Skopar' itself suggests that it's a sharp lens from edge to edge. In my case, I have the Voigtlander Heliar 15mm f/3,5 do Leica M, which covers full-frame, and on APS-C it's even sharper from edge to edge
@@darekw1967 I don’t know how it performs - hence my question. I really like CV lenses and my 35mm Nokton works well on my M11. I just wondered whether the 18mm lens was good on the Fuji
@@ianforber Lenses with the LEICA M mount are optically outstanding and cover an area larger than full-frame, making them even better for APS-C, and Voigtlander offers superb microcontrast. In manual operation on a Fuji camera, I can't imagine that such designs would be optically weak. In my opinion, this Voigtlander 18mm for Fuji will fulfill its role, making use of the 40 MP sensor.
Very informative vid honest too thank you i enjoyed watching this. I have on back order the Fuji xt1006 But have been thinking of getting this xt50 maybe
I found a bug in the software. When you set the camera to 'airplane mode,' it's not possible to transfer files from the camera via cable. In my opinion, that's not how this mode should work. ;)
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography That's why I turned on airplane mode, so the camera wouldn't waste extra energy searching for wireless connections. However, transferring files via cable is a completely different matter. The manufacturer combined these two functions into one. Another issue I noticed is that in video mode, the left dial for switching filming modes doesn't work. By default, it's disabled, and there's no way to enable it. There's a method, but it's illogical and contradicts the information given in the menu.
How is the build quality of XT50? I didn't like XT30 series because they feel very plastic. I have XH2, like its solid build and great EVF but it is a little big for causal usage.
I have an XT50 with 16-80mm lens attached (tried others too) and settings on XT50 of manual shutter speed, manual aperture and Auto ISO - front switch set to auto focus S and metering set to multi (tried others) When I try to adjust the exposure compensation dial nothing happens - BUT - when doing the exact same thing with same lens and settings on my XT5 then I CAN adjust exposure compensation!!!

Does the film sim dial allow you to change the other settings for each film sim? As if they were C dials but attributed to each film sim? Or simply changes the film.
As of today it only allow you to change the film sim. You still have the chance to change parameters like shadows, highlight, noise and so on through the q menu. But those parameters tension global, so when you switch film simulations those remain unchanged.
Hi Luca, thanks a lot for another very thorough and deep dive review. I get your points and excitement, however for me this price (1500 € body only in Germany) is too high, especially, as you pointed it out, in comparison to the X-T5, which I own and love. I will take my ‚old‘ and trusty X-T20 as a back-up body to Iceland and it is great to hear that you got satisfying shots with it 😀.. and s you said.. time will show a decrease in the price of the X-T50.. let‘s see..
My previous video was the review of the kit lens, in which i compare it against the 18-55 as well. In my opinion the new lens has a lot going for it, especially if you purchase it in kit.
I bought the X-T50. When I use non Fuji lenses...the LCD preview doesn't work properly. It doesn't show the actual preview, that is the LCD stays the same regardless of me changing ISO, Shutter or aperture. I know how to fix this on the kit lens, but I can't figure out how to get the LCD to preview the shot correctly. Any ideas? (I have live preview OFF)
I love the film simulations. Might be my favorite thing about Fuji. That silly dial stopped me buying this camera. It's a terrible idea that's also very poorly executed.
Don't let the sim dial be a deal breaker for you. Believe me, it's not that bad. It could have been done in a different way, but it's not a deal breaker for sure

XT50 is a garbage! I feel so disappointed with this camera, the autofocus is not reliable, the image quality is just average, the video is overhyped it is a non-true 6k video and it has no Tethering option. What a WASTE! Please make yourself a favor, DONT BUY THIS CAMERA, you will be wasting your money for this overpriced piece of garbage. I wasted my hard earned money!!! it's been like 4 years before I bought the camera. I saved money for four years and all i got is a tiny piece of garbage!
I can understand the criticisms on the autofocus, as lately it's been a struggle. The image quality is far from being average, and as for the video... This is not the X-H2s or the X-S20, but no one has ever said they are the same thing. The X-T50 is mainly a photographer's camera. If video is your thing the X-S20 will serve you better
Hello Luca, 1st time watching your vids. I just started doing some research on this xt50 recently and your review came right up!! Solid info/perspective after you working with it. I pre ordered the x100 vi the day it was announced (2/20/24) and just received a letter to expect it around October. It is not a huge necessity to have right now but WOW! seriously Fuji??! Anyway, when this t50 showed up i really want to give it strong consideration over the vi. Your review has me moving toward this possibility for size & features - Xt5 was 1st because of battery size and I’m also used to that XT series and dials. 🤔🤔 this little t50 is intriguing due to size with primes. Thanks so much for the fantastic breakdown of Pro’s/Cons 🙏🏼🫵🏼 now gonna go chk out your review on the 16-50mm lens option Have you tried the 15-45mm ‘kit lens’ ? i did not see a review for that one Sub’d ! 👍🏼
I tried the 15-45 and it's a lovely lens, but the new one is better. As for the x100vi, I ultimately chose the flexibility I get from the X-T50 over the x100vi, and I sold my copy of the x100vi
Well, there's a lot of choices. The kit lens is good, the 16-80 is very good too, the tamron 17-70 is another good choice. Also the 18-120 can be great for that
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography I understand that you've tested the recommended lenses on the X-T50, meaning what they are capable of on the 40 MP sensor. It's not easy to find the right glass for a 40 MP sensor without compromising on quality. Of course, I'm thinking about the maximum resolution that can be extracted from the sensor. Lenses that can't keep up produce a slightly 'soft' image compared to those on a lower resolution sensor.

🤔🤔 this little t50 is intriguing due to size with primes.
Thanks so much for the fantastic breakdown of Pro’s/Cons 🙏🏼🫵🏼
now gonna go chk out your review on the 16-50mm lens option
Have you tried the 15-45mm ‘kit lens’ ?
i did not see a review for that one
Sub’d ! 👍🏼
I tried the 15-45 and it's a lovely lens, but the new one is better. As for the x100vi, I ultimately chose the flexibility I get from the X-T50 over the x100vi, and I sold my copy of the x100vi
What lens would you recommend for general photography and car photography for that one lens that can do both?
Well, there's a lot of choices. The kit lens is good, the 16-80 is very good too, the tamron 17-70 is another good choice. Also the 18-120 can be great for that
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography I understand that you've tested the recommended lenses on the X-T50, meaning what they are capable of on the 40 MP sensor. It's not easy to find the right glass for a 40 MP sensor without compromising on quality. Of course, I'm thinking about the maximum resolution that can be extracted from the sensor. Lenses that can't keep up produce a slightly 'soft' image compared to those on a lower resolution sensor.
@@darekw1967 the only one I haven't used on the 40mp sensor it's the 16-80, but I've used that lens so much that I know it can deliver
