Fujifilm X-T50 Hands-on First Look 

Paired with a lens with a marked aperture (preferably one of the small f2 primes), this camera has the most (beginner) user friendly user interface I've ever seen on a camera. Important aspects of exposure with clearly marked dials (shutter, aperture with the right lens). An easy escape hatch in the form of the auto switch. Instead of drive dials (which confuse most beginners), you have the film simulation dial which is a fun way to vary the look for beginners. Someone using this will never need to dive into the menu. Brilliant piece of industrial design and UX design. Oh, and great video, definitely the best I've seen on this camera given the target audience of the camera itself.

I am quite excited about this camera and lens update, and cannot wait to see one in person.

Finally a new classic... a beautiful fujifilm camera so far...

Its a very cute little street/retro styled camera. I'm personally fine with the top left dial being for the film simulations, its a very easy way to adjust the overall color kind of like the filters on a smartphone and with the film simulations being one of Fuji's big selling points, putting it as a prominent control on the camera is a good move imo.

great video

I'm thinking of upgrading my X-T2, it still works fantastic and I even manage a few birds in flight shots with the 70-300. I think the battery might be the week point for me. How fast is the AF?

Can the film simulations be used for video? Would be xool when doing retro segments.

I don't get why most people want the gray color, the silver one is amazing!

Very nice camera. I learned Fuji on the XS10. The controls are different between the cameras. Not a big fan of dedicated dial because the drive mode button on The Xs10 &XS20 gives you instant access to Film Simulations with your eye on the viewfinder and see the actual film simulations in composition while scrolling with the toggle lever. Much easier and faster. If you prefer the “ tactile “ experience of the XT30 then you should definitely buy that camera. I like the way the XS20 or XS10 allow for IMO easier manipulation of controls without having to turn dials…because they make me take a hand off the camera. A front and rear wheel I get but not the dial.

Love Dave's comment that the X-T50 becomes an X-T5 when you put your finger over the zero. :) Gr8!

Thanks! This little camera is gorgeous and has about all it takes except for, in my opinion, a dedicated ISO dial instead of this almost useless film simulation dial. Still I really like it ❤

I think the film simulation dial could be made into a game changer if the basic design were changed to overcome its limits. What about a completely customizable dial with tiny integrated LCD windows that would show your assigned film simulations, visible at a glance?

Looks great and i like the film simulation dial. But too expensive is my opinion.

The price should go down to 1100

Wow. Every Fuji Influencer and camera stores are liking this Camera this morning at $1399.00. It must be great.

I am a M43 user too and like this camera, almost same weight size as my gx85. Yes a replacement for the Lumix GX85 and GX9 would be great.

Not convinced by the film sim dial. Prefer the options on my X-T30 dial. Had been hanging on for this launch but price is way high.

Does this camera support panorama mode?

‼️A nice camera. I would buy it if it hasn't the film simulation wheel. This is a toy for Instagram people... p.s. the price for the X-T50 body in Switzerland is actual sFr. 1250.- (€ 1240.-) in Interdiscount shop.

Would prefer the ISO dial on the left and maybe a collar switch on that dial for a few custom film simulations (maybe three or four)

I saw a video stating that the film simulation wheel is only for défaut setting. Is it true or can you have different values (white balance, noise reduction, grain…..) for each of film simulation Or do you have to go to the main menu for that how does it works ?

Too expensive. Might as well spring for the X-T5.

3:47 Yikes. X-T50 only costs 20% less than the X-T5 and they still made it single card slot. The R7 is the same price as the X-T50 and has dual UHS-II card slots, and the R7 battery is nearly twice as large. I love Fuji but this camera is a tough sell.

It is 40MP for USD 1400. Nikon Z7ii & Sony a7R both 40MP for USD 2000. No trainer XT50 more valuable. 😊..

A lot people that use other brands try shame and gatekeep Fujifilm users out of using film simulations, but hopefully with this just being out in the wild it breaks the gate. The color filter array is uniquely designed, in part, to get that mathematical color consistency with the film stocks the simulations represent, it’s foolish not to use them.

Love the film sim dial. Hate the EVF and price!

This is the camera I would buy if I were to buy a Fuji - I personally love the film sim dial. That being said, I'm a full fledged Micro 4/3 devotee, so please Panasonic and OM, give us some new, small, rangefinder style cameras. I need to know the mft future is secure

Sim dial will probably be good for video. For stills, though it's useless as I always shoot in raw.

Still trying to figure out how to switch to movie mode lol

Hi, I was wondering if I should get the X-T30 or X-T50…? Can anyone help me ? Is there really a huge difference with the new one ? Thanks in advance.

The S20 has been released for a while and not readily available. Not sure the point of releasing new cameras when the previously released model is still “new” enough to sell well if only they have more stock.

Need an XE5 with Ibis.

if they stick in kodakchrome it will make Kodak Cry since they havent given it to us yet.

I feel a little insecure lol I want more of a separation of features and tech between this and my X-H2

Too bad they priced it too high to be an alternative to the X100VI once you buy a lens for it. They don't allow you to tweak the film situations on the dial so it is of less interest to experienced users.

Lack of a screen that can also tilt vertically is a dealbreaker.

The price is completely off. Fuji is really getting greedy. When the hype ends this could get a real problem for them.

Whoa - price so much higher than for its predecessors :-(

Fuji is slowly becoming the new Leica. $$$$

How to switch quickly from photo to video on that camera? I'm still using xt20 since 5 years, it has dial to switch between single photo, burst mode and video, in xt50 that dial is removed, instead we've got simulation dial - useless for me, I never change that in the camera and always shoot raw

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....

That film sim dial tho 🤦‍♂

Entry level…..at a pro full frame price. More fujiexcuses.

So expensive 😮

My X-T20 leaves this thing for dust. The X-T20 gives me rapid one touch access to a range of functions via the D-Pad (film sims, recipes, ISO, focus point) and the drive dial (Bracketing, CL, CH), as well as stock stuff via fn buttons (SS, Aperture, Exposure Comp). Without the drive dial, D-Pad and ability to customise the film sim dial for recipes, I lose most of this one-touch functionality. Meanwhile influencers masquerading as reviewers are wetting themselves over an unnecessary increase in megapixels. While studiously ignoring the significant reduction in functionality for enthusiastic JPEG shooters such as myself, who Fuji have kicked in the nuts and clearly have abandoned as a target customer group. And we are expected to swallow the lie that this is progress, whilst paying through the nose for the ‘privilege’.

And its way overpriced

First comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what did I win
