I'm glad I didn't listen to the internet | Fujifilm X-T5 vs X-T50 

I just got my new X-T50 a few days ago and I love it! It's so fun to shoot with it. The new automatic mode is a total game changer. The camera is smart enough to know what I am shooting and set everything up correctly I can still change the film simulation and other details. I never liked auto mode from any brands before, but the X-T50 simply opens up a new world. Very impressive!! For those who are unsure about this camera, rent one and test it for a few days, I'm sure you'll love it.

Thanks James. Can you do some more on your XT50 set ups and top tips. One thing I noticed is that now they set everything to OFF in the default menu which makes more sense. For example, turning off the AF button light or shutter sound

As someone that shoots, with the X-T3 and X100 VI (and have access to X-T5 and other cameras) here in the UK - the body only price difference is £150.00 between the X-T5 and X-T50 for that £150.00 you are getting a bigger battery, WR, Dual card slots, and Tethering support However, when you look at the Kit price with the new XF 16-50 that price difference increases to £400 (the new X-T5 kit is priced more than the existing kits with 18-55 or 16-80) and if next month the price for the body only of the X-T5 returns to £1699, then there will be a £400 difference there too. To be honest, the change of battery would not bother me that much, as the new battery lasts almost twice as long (X-T5 compared to X-T3), but I was happy that when I got the X100 VI I already had several batteries As someone that has various Fujifilm cameras that I use professionally, I don't need to upgrade anything to get professional results, the X-T3 hit a sweet spot. The X-T5 we have was for a specific use case (that would benefit from 40MP) and the X100VI was purchased, because I wanted it, but will make full use in the studio of the 1/2000 sync speed of the shutter with flashes ;) I love the look of the X-T50 and if I wanted a walk around camera for me, and didn't have the X100VI I'd be looking for the first Fuji sale and grab one for £1000

I have a a7rv for work and wanted something fun casual small portable. Getting the charcoal grey one today. Portability and film simulation dial were my reasons or else would have went xt5 if pro work.

Jason, I preordered the X100VI on February 20, and a recent email told me to expect delivery around August. Now I am reading about the XT-50 and it looks even better with interchangeable lenses. This is making me question the X100VI. Any thoughts/advice? I know you have both these cameras.

One annoyance I came up against when trying to do some product photography with my X-T30 is you can’t shoot it tethered, unlike the X-T5. I assume this limitation remains with the X-T50.

Everyone’s is different, but for me, the better battery, tilt screen and weatherproofing is enough of a difference for me to choose an XT-5 over the XT-50.

No single mention about xt-5 wather sealing, better EVF, better shutter etc, and there is a reason for another type of battery iin XT-5, it's almost 2 times more shots in it than xt-50 battery. Don't get me wrong, I like the xt-50, but when comparing to xt-5 there is only reason to get it over xt-5 is saving 119g in weight and size.

They're both excellent cameras! If you're also a Fuji GFX-shooter, the argument regarding batteries is reversed; the X-T5 has the same batteries as the GFX-series.

Glad you like the x-T50, as it seems like a great camera. One other feature that may or may not be important to you, that I haven’t seen you mention, is that the X-T5 is weather sealed, and the 50 is not.

I agree with you about the battery. I would not change my X-T30 II for the new X-T50 if I had to buy a new set of batteries and a new charger. Thanks Fujifilm for that. And you for this video ;-)

Well if you have to carry an extra battery or two around, the weight becomes less of a factor. Also, to pay that much for a camera you can only use in limited weather conditions and environments is crazy to me.

X-T50 or X-T30ii what’s one is better for photos in real life? Is the £500 difference worth it?

Nice video! Keep up this work! I like. All people that bash just try to justify their xt5 purchase. It s always the same story

You should cover fuji xs20

I forgot to mention that the X-T50 gets hot very easily. In my case, after 45 minutes of shooting at 20°C, the camera body became very hot. I hope fuji could release a new firmware to fix this, otherwise anyone who does a long time shooting should go for X-T5.

i like your voice

Wait until your xt50 gets wet in Japan 😂

no way...i got a xt5 at about 1.4k used barely 1k shutter and no signs of wear. Why would i get XT50? the battery is already smaller than XT5, it is not advertised as weather resistant, the new reala ace film simulation will be made available by end of june.

If the camera would be closer in price to the X-T30 I would buy the X-T50 immediatelly. I really prefer the small camera as companion to my GFX 50R. But I picked the X-T5 instead. It is just so much more for the money. It just feels wrong to buy the X-T50.

WR, much better video, dual card slot, much better battery and just 100 grams more. Decision is clear besides RU-vid trendy content.

I see only one reason to buy x-t50. It's get a paid for ads from Fuji. In all other cases x-t5 wins.

Come on, size wise there's no huge difference. It's not like DSLR vs Mirorless. 100-ish gram is nothing. And the sims dial, lol. How many times we switch film simulation, it's better for ISO dial. XT50 is cute but for that price, XT5 is a no brainer!

The only reason anyone should get the X-T50 is for that sexy ass color and portability son. The gray needs to be standard on all their models cause it's delicious mf
