Fujifilm X-T50 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body - Charcoal Silver

UPDATE: After owning and using this camera for a month, here is my updated review. I agree with some others that the placement of the SD card is poorly designed. It is a pain to try and remove the card without using the internal spring to jettison it across the room. It is NOT a good beginner's camera. Can be challenging to use the more advanced settings and the film simulations are great, but adding "recipes" is tricky. When you change the settings for recipes, it alters all the other simulations as well as "normal" settings. Such as, if you +2 the contrast in a recipe, it +2 the contrast in ALL settings! I had to research this to find why my photos suddenly looked way too contrasty and losing detail. (You can only use the film simulations in jpeg, not raw). Also, the 40MP censor uses a LOT of room and slows down uploading photos depending on settings and the computer/tablet you are using. Honestly, you don't need 40MP. Another issue I've found is the appearance; for street photography, it gathers WAY too much attention. I have never had people asking me what newspaper I'm with or ducking out of shots with any other camera; not even my Sony A7ii. It is NOT covert at all. May have to figure out how to disguise it and "dress it down," unfortunately as I love the look of it. If you plan on buying this for street, suggest you get the solid black model (I got the black/silver). If I had to do it again... I think I may have saved about a grand and gone with a lightly used black Olympus OM-D E-M5 with Leica lens. Am I going to keep this? Probably as I've invested in a lot of add-ons. It's not a bad camera, just a learning curve if you are using a different brand or an older, simpler camera like a DSLR with lots of external controls. When frustrated, I go back to using my simpler Micro 4/3 or Nikon D80. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This camera is a JOY to use! After returning a Sony ZV-1 I bought to use as a carry-along street camera, though it took nice photos, the nightmare of using it with tiny buttons and endless menu scrolling was miserable. The Fuji also produces more realistic colors and with the variety of film simulations, is just a fun and yet incredible camera to use. Combined with the Viltrox 25mm f1.7 lens, this has transitioned my street photography to a whole new level. I was using my very capable Sony A7ii for a bit, but the colors were meh, and it was big and heavy compared to the Fujifilm. And although the Sony has a full sized sensor, I think the Fuji is actually even sharper! Can't say enough good things about this camera... yeah, it's not cheap, but you are getting a long-term keeper.

The X-T50 is an amazing camera, especially for its size. Image quality is outstanding with beautiful colors straight out of the camera, and the autofocus is fast and accurate. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, making it perfect for travel, street photography, and everyday shooting without sacrificing performance. The film simulations are a huge bonus and produce stunning results without needing heavy editing. Build quality feels solid and premium, and overall it’s a joy to use. Easily one of the best mirrorless cameras available at this price point. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced shooters looking for a portable powerhouse.

This is a fine, well-built camera that delivers excellent image quality, both still and video. Excellent color science (I think this is where Fuji really excels). However, I eventually sold it because, with the available zoom lenses, it was simply too heavy to carry comfortably. If weight is not an issue, then five stars.

It’s the size of a Fuji X-t30 ii, but with a better grip, 7 stops of image stabilization, 40mp sensor, film simulation dial, faster processor, and optional charcoal color. I use it only with the Fuji 23mm f2 prime (35mm equivalent). The internal sports finder allows me to see a crop outline in the viewfinder. So a crop can easily become a slightly increased focal length due to 40mp sensor. I don’t recommend 3rd party primes or zooms without f-stops on the lens as it will limit you to EVF viewing only to see your settings The online camera manual is long and extensive, although there is an idiot switch if you don’t want to spend the time. YouTube has helpful setup videos, but I found that most of the recommended settings are generic and just starting points. To sum up: The X-t50 is really not for beginners. The camera body + 23mm lens with tax was like $2000 new. Add $200 more for accessories like 2nd battery, charger etc. and for a lot of people it isn’t an option. However, for a pro backup camera, or maybe for a former pro like me, it’s a dream camera that i’ll never outgrow.

Excellent camera for the new to Fuji ecosystem. Has pro level specs, but sized for EDC and is just fun to carry and shoot. Lots of reviews on YouTube for this camera, and is excellent for travel or street photography. Solid design, battery life is ok, but suggest getting a second (or third battery) plus charger, as if only comes with a USB-C cord for charging. Picture quality is very good, and the Film simulation dial is fun to explore. I carry it in my Tomtoc sling with a few pancake lenses or a 56 mm lense. It goes with me everywhere, versus only on trips, events, etc.

So good.

Image quality is remarkable for such a small camera. Coming from 20 years of Canon, this is like a breath of fresh air. Note of caution, this camera requires a bit of a dedication to learn all the settings. You get good results with minimal effort but to really step it up requires patience and commitment.

I decided to try Fuji and I liked it. I shoot in automatic mode and film recipe. A camera for every day for yourself. Maybe I'll figure it out and set it up so that it can be used for commerce. The only downside was that the delivery to Omaha, Nebraska was via UPS, not Amazon, and it was a terrible experience.

Excelente compra. Estaba entre la Sony a6700 y muchas otras, en ese rango de precio ya hay demasiadas opciones pero ninguna como esta. 40 megapixeles, basicamente recien lanzada al mercado, compacta, estéticamente mas bonita, mejor sensor, etc. una lista interminable de ventajas, las simulaciones la ponen en otro nivel y ya te olvidas de perder tiempo editando. Solo que si la compran intenten que sea con un metodo de entrega/envio mas premium que el basico porque me robaron una en aduana, afortunadamente Amazon resolvió y pude comprar otra en oferta.

Love my fujifilm. Still havent tried to video anything but I've got some great pictures of of this

Beautiful pictures, great ergonomics, nice form factor. I love it.
