    Fujifilm is the right company to bring back quirky cameras!

    What were the Fujifilm engineers thinking. The unique value proposition other than size for the X-T double digit cameras was the physical picture mode dial which allowed for very fast switching from photo to video or multiple exposures on the fly. Replacing that with film simulation dial is retrogressive and a big mistake in my view.

      How exactly was it a "unique value proposition"? Having a dial to switch between 2 modes that you use maybe once per day was almost useless, at least in my workflow! I can see your point, but calling a cut PASM dial a "unique value proposition" is a bit beyond the truth.

      Your reasoning is flawed. I read this all the time on the internet. People are saying things like „An upgraded MacBook Air is almost the price of a MacBook Pro“. Do you want the best specs for your money or do you want a device with the specs you are ACTUALLY going to use? You clicked this video, which indicates you are looking for a light travel camera. Compactness with high performance is what the X-T50 is all about. If you need the large X-T5, then get the X-T5. But it will probably be overkill and a waste of money. You won’t be needing all this power, and the tragic thing is, you don’t even know it.

    I've been watching your videos since Canon 70D and you are still be best. I think it is the tilting screen that is massively a big feature vs the X-T5's left protruding screen. For us tilting screen lovers, this is a massive pro. Still hesitant to go for this X-T50 or the new X100VI.

    It's incomprehensible to me why you can't save entire film recipes to the dial. That would have been a killer feature. Does it at least still have this function from the menu itself? How many slots can be assigned there to saving full recipes?

      @timd3546 you can save up to 7 custom recipes that can be accessed through the Q menu, which I learned about when I had the chance to play with the XT-50 a few weeks ago at a local camera store. Fingers crossed Fuji releases a firmware update that will allow us to use the f1-f3 on the dial for custom recipes!

      Turning the dial will change only the Film Simulation parameter as of current firmware, so the rest (tone curve, grain, color chrome fx etc) stay the same regardless which film sim is selected on the dial. Bad news for recipes, but here's hoping Fuji might consider tweaking the software for this.

    But...the film sim dial IS a gimmick - you could always access these sims through the menu, so why give it it's own dedicated dial that isn't even customisable!!! RAW shooters never use the film sims as they are only for jpeg shooters, so this to me makes this expensive camera a little bit of a slap in the face for RAW shooters

      This is just a guess. But as a Nikon Zf user i can say that the B/W switch they added on that camera has been a killer feature for many, but thought of as a gimmick at first a bit. And while im normally always shooting Raw, its a very handy thing to have at your fingertips :) So i could see many users really loving this wheel.

      @@jimrothwell535 Firstly, the point has been missed here. The answer to your first question is no, not what I, and others are wanting. The forerunners to this model were all clearly small brothers to the main camera of the line...with same specs. This is what was anticipated with the release of the XT50, a carry around everyday camera with the same spec as the XT5. The second part is a bit of a silly response!! Do you really think that I would expect Fuji to make cameras to my needs? Come on. Also, who is talking about "evidence of more RAW shooters than Jpeg"?? Totally irrelavent to the point. There are many RAW shooters who would definitely prefer a dial that benefits the cost and spec of this camera. Sims have always been accessible to those who want them, so why change this on this range? Maybe the XE5 could be the one to trial this idea, not an expsensive serious camera - If you need any further evidence with the outrage this has caused....just read the comments on FujiRumors

    ⁉️ 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....
