I have a Sony A7RV which, although excellent at what it does, is a heavy camera when you include those large and heavy full frame lenses. As a result the Sony A7RV does not travel with me on many of my day trips or restaurant/museum/ visits. I wanted a camera that was high quality, light and easy to take with me and I could actually buy (I have always had a Fuji X100 series camera for this duty, but I sold my X100V prematurely and the X100VI is all but impossible to buy - mine has been on order for 4 months as of this date and I have been told that they will not be able to give me a delivery date until November).So I started searching for an alternative and and came across the new and improved X T xx series and noted the recent introduction of the X T50.

After some research I purchased the camera with the 16-50mm kit lens and a 23 mm f/2 prime. I have been highly impressed. The output is sharp, the contrast and dynamic range excellent and it has that Fuji magic in the OOC (out of camera) JPGs. I do not usually shoot RAW unless I feel the picture may need some work afterwards and the Fuji's have always produced excellent JPGs OOC.The much maligned in camera simulation dial on the left is a great help and not just for beginner photographers. It is a very convenient way to change the feel and look of a picture right in the camera. I am a mature photographer with many years of photography under my belt and although a lot of the reviews say this is a camera for the inexperienced who are just starting, ignore them. It will suit a large range of photographer with varied experience and can be used either in full auto mode (which I find 'overcooks' some situations or as hands on as you want. This is a photographer's camera in a compact body with excellent facilities and performance.Pros:1. Excellent out of camera pictures in either JPG or HEIF.2. Easy to use with full manual if you want.3. Adequate to good auto focus tracking (it kept up with my 3 standard poodles).4. Superb resolution which allows you to crop in post processing if needed.5. Nice handling with well placed controls.6. Excellent range of FX compatible lenses which are very high quality.7. That film simulation control on the left.8. Allows you full manual control of all functions using the well designed Fuji controls on camera.9. Small and light so you will take it with you.10. Pop up flash for fill in where back light causes issues.11. In body image stabilization.Cons:1. Not weather sealed.2. Battery life is short (you need at least one spare if you are going out for the day).3. Viewfinder is a little small, but not bad enough to be a real problem.4. Be careful in video mode as read out speed for the 40 MP sensor is a little slow so you may get a 'gelo' effect if you pan with moving subjects.5. Dongle for headphones.6. Expensive. By the time you have the kit lens included you are into territory occupied by some decent FF cameras (Panasonic S5II etc.). However they are not this small and will not be with you when you need them.In summary, this a camera you will have with you which will be far more versatile than your phone. And it does not over process your pictures like a phone so you have full control and can product superb pictures. It is also a superb second camera for those owners of those FF cameras with their large and often heavy lenses.

Just spent the last two weeks with this camera in Greece. It’s an amazing travel camera and it didn’t leave my side the entire trip. I’ve had DSLR’s in the past and this camera was so much more manageable to carry around. It’s small and powerful and has every feature I could ask for. The pictures this thing delivers are incredible and has made the memories from the trip 1000x better. The build quality is great and after not being able to secure a X100vi, I chose this instead. I’m really happy I did as I like the form factor more and the ability to change lenses makes this so much more functional day in and day out. I think I would have sold the X100vi after some time. This I will keep until the wheels fall off.

I bought this camera to go alongside my X-T5 as a lighter weight second body. I tend to use heavier lenses with my X-T5 and wanted the equivalent of My X100V, but with the benefit of a zoom lens and of course it has the higher resolution sensor of the X-T5 and X100VI. The camera itself is excellent. It is functionally very similar to the X-T5, but in a more compact form and with a slight reduction in the number of physical controls. The new "kit lens" is very good. It produces sharp images, is a great light walkabout lens and is particularly good for flower photography. One thing that has been a pleasant surprise is the dedicated film simulation dial.

The full auto option is also very handy and it has intelligence in selecting the type of photo and adjusting he auto settings to match,

I've been shooting Ricoh GRs for years(GR, II, III and IIIx) and I truly loved them all, but I've been wanting more flexibility. But, I also wanted to stay small for EDC. Was just about to pull the trigger on the x-t30ii, but then word came on the x-t50 so I went for the latter. WOW! This little thing is a BEAST! Granted, not being a Fuji shooter, learning the menu system was a bit of a challenge(still learning), but it is not as hateful as I've been led to believe. As I start to get it dialed in, the learning curve is with the effort. The images I'm getting as a Fuji rookie are inspiring me to find every opportunity to fire this little thing up. The build quality is solid and it feels very robust. The right amount of grip, too! The top dials are a little crowded on ...

Pop up flash is a big win since I've been missing it on the Ricohs. The image quality with the kit lens is just killer. Sharp and no evident weak corners. Oh and the film simulation dial? FUN! I can understand why pros would poo poo it, but for the amateur/hobbyist... I think it's a pretty brilliant idea. It's only been two weeks since, I've got it and the love buzz keeps growing. The ONLY thing that has frustrated me is the little thumbstick. Often when I go to press straight in forok, I bump it left or right. However, I have a beefy thumb, so that's a me problem! I highly recommend this camera!
The X-T50 seems well-made for a consumer camera--not too light. It may have the same 40mp sensor as the X-T5, but they are worlds apart in terms of build quality. This camera got very hot and drained the battery within an hour of testing. The viewfinder is inferior--small and set deep in the body (in my perception), so you have to really smash your face into the camera to see. I was surprised how limited the movement of the LCD is (although it's bright and sharp)-- no flipping around (selfie mode). The grip is irritating--it's there, but not deep enough, and the somewhat slippery textured surface makes it hard to hold onto. The designers have forced so many buttons and controls in a small space. The location of the function button does not make sense and it's hard ...

The designers have forced so many buttons and controls in a small space. The location of the function button does not make sense and it's hard to press. The film simulation mode dial seemed like fun at first until I realized you cannot save custom settings to these modes--any settings (ie sharpness, saturation) are applied to whatever film mode you select. This stands in the way of crafting looks. Cramped buttons and complicated menus made the camera less fun and more mind-boggling to use. I have friends--Fujifilm users--who complain about the nonsensical organization of the Fujifilm menus, so I suppose if you already shoot Fuji this would be okay, but for me, the camera was not a good introduction. Overall the camera doesn't really feel retro, and as an experienced photographer (film and digital), it did not feel intuitive. Just go for the bigger better designed camera if you want to use those beautiful Fujifilm lenses and excellent sensor.
Got this for its small size and simple interface. Went to Asia (Mongolia, Korea, and China) with this with 4 lenses with me (TTartisan 27mm 2.8 pancake, Fuji 16mm 1.4 WR, Tamron 17-70mm 2.8, and Canon EF 70-300mm L with Fringer adapter).First of all, i ended up using TTartisan 27mm lens 80% of time and they work very well together. I can put it in my cargo pocket of my pants, and it's so much lighter to carry.All lenses I brought with me were great with it- 40MP sensor works very nicely with them.Now here are few things that annoy me- and i have to be more careful with it.1. it's very easy to changed the ISO setting by accident I ended up taking lots of great pics at ISO 6400 which really degraded the qaulity of the pictures.

Be care to either change your setting on the camera so it doesnt switch your ISO easily. that said, i think night time ISO6400 IQ is really good, but in the day time it really ruined many of images.2. there's no movie record button- i have to assign it manually. Once assigned, i was able to record video with ease.3. it's not easy to switch between P, S, A modes- you really need to read the manual and learn how to change to these modes. this is a big problem when i use lens that does not have aperture ring.4. battery life is so so because it uses old battery model. be sure to bring plenty.overall, i'm still pretty happy with it and it really makes it easier to carry and with TTartisan lens I still get great IQ without all the weights.
I've had several Fuji cameras, but each one always seemed to have something lacking or a feature implemented not quite right. Finally, with the X-T50, Fuji hit it right on the head. Everything is perfect (at least for me) - a small camera with image stabilization and a 40MP sensor; enough customizable buttons and dials in the right places; and a new f/16-50mm kit zoom lens that is very sharp! At first, I was a little leery about the 50mm end having only a f/4.8 aperture. But, it has not held me back at all. The images from this sensor are absolutely amazing with plenty of pixels for cropping. I'm so glad I sold my X-T30 for this upgrade. Another Fuji benefit...their cameras hold their value extremely well. I sold the X-T30 with the 18-55 kit lens for more than 80% ...

Im a Nikon DSLR Full frame user. I needed a light weight camera as a daily use camera. Previously bought G9 Lumix (as i could never get hold of X100 V), but wasnt very pleased with its 18MP quality, and its low light performance. I was hopeful of atleast getting a copy of X100 VI, but unfortunately threre was no improvement in Fuji's backlog. So after a long wait of over 2.5 years, i finally got hold of this X-T50, which packs most of XT5 in a small body. I'm just loving Fuji's colors, especially their decision to introduce the film simulation dial. I'm amazed by the HDR capabilities of the camera. The JPEG images look stunning. The auto focus is very quick, paired with the 23mm f2. Having used Nikon DSLRs for over 15 years, this one feels like a toy with plenty of ... MoreIm a Nikon DSLR Full frame user.

Fujifilm have managed to put top technologies into a small form factor with good looks and a great feeling in the hand. On paper, it's a winner. In reality, it is fussy, fiddly, the film simulation dial is a waste of a useful dial and of bonuses to a photographer. It is a sales gimmick.The image quality achieved by this camera was poor in comparison to a phone camera. Pixelated, blocky edges, undefined contrasts, and not fit for purpose. How that 40mp sensor was turned into a result as poor as this is hard to comprehend.Get a real camera instead, or wait for the X-T60 if it ever happens, without a silly colour wheel.
t's small. If you take away the flash dome it's the same size as my Leica D-Lux7. Its small size requires me to learn to grip it differently than my other Fujis especially my X-H2s.It's heavier than I thought it would be and feels heavier than my X-T1.I love, love, love the film sim dial and have programmed the C-1-3 with other Fuji sims that aren't designated on the dial.IMHO it's a beautiful camera that is laid out similarly to my other Fujis although the tiny joy stick will take some getting used to.I also love, love, love the digital 1.4 and 2 TC and have programed the back dial to initiate them.On one side of the viewfinder is the diopter control and on the other side is a programmable button that I didn't notice until programming the buttons showed it but ...

I've never gotten a new Fuji with a dead battery until this one. Fortunately I've got several of the 126s batteries that are charged. There is no battery charger and fortunately I've got several.No hot shoe cover. I know this is supposed to be a budget X-T5 but come on Fuji a matching hot shoe cover doesn't cost that much.No manual. I know manuals are a cost cutback for camera companies and I've downloaded one from the Fuji site but for $1399 it should be included.The shutter button is stiff compared to my other Fujis and took some getting used to. I'm going to install a soft release to see if that makes a difference.I had a opportunity to take it with me on a hike and I can say the images are amazing and ReallaAce is my new favorite film sim.I also bought a half case with a small grip extension built in and that makes it easier to hold. I'm also going to get a thumb rest for it so I don't keep hitting the Q button when I take it out of a bag.So far the things I like about it outweighs the things that will take getting used to and it is a keeper.
