X-T50 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body - Charcoal Silver

Camera is amazing! So much to learn as a beginner, but I accept the challenge. As of now, as someone that is just using the camera as a point and shoot it ain’t bad at all.

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.

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.

I just love this camera. For a while I have been using a Sony A7R. I got great images, but I started to have problems with weight due to arthritis in my wrist. I decided to step down a level of sensor size, to get a weight low enough that I would never hesitate to bring it with me. I also initially bought the XT5, but found that it was significantly heavier than the XT50, so I returned that one. The XT50 is a surprisingly good fit to my hands, despite me having really big hands. The raise thumb holder gives me leverage to hold the camera easily. So far, I've gotten great images, probably slightly less great than the Sony Full Frame, but close enough that it is easily worth the trade. I was also initially worried that the small joystick would be limiting, but I've found it works very well. I wish the XT50 was weather sealed, but I'm OK to give that up for the weight. The controls are really well-laid out (my first time with a Fuji, so maybe they are all good in this way). It's nice to have a way to rate my pics in camera (the Sony has that, but I didn't expect it in this Fuji). I'm happy with this lens, which was a great deal if bought with the body -- it is likely not as good as the Pro equivalent, but the Pro just adds too much weight. All in all, I'm thrilled. Back to having my camera with me all the time.

The camera is fantastic and delivers superb image quality. Even while I’m still learning, it consistently produces great photos. That said, a few issues have made the experience somewhat frustrating. Updating to the latest firmware has been difficult because the camera does not seem to recognize the update and shows an error during the process. The mobile app also does not appear to work with the latest iOS version, at least on my phone. It will not connect via Bluetooth, supposedly because I did not grant permission, yet no permission prompt ever appeared. For now, I will wait until a new firmware version is released and then try updating to that one. From a hardware perspective, I would have appreciated longer battery life. The dedicated film simulation dial also feels unnecessary and takes up precious real estate on the camera body. Since film simulations can already be changed using other controls and are not something I adjust often, I would have preferred that space be used for a more useful setting. Despite these drawbacks, I am extremely happy with my purchase. It is a beautiful camera that I genuinely enjoy looking at, holding, and using. As my first camera, it feels like a great choice and I cannot wait to take it on future trips.

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

Increible, es una cámara asombrosa para todo momento, llego súper bien el paquete en perfecta condiciones y muy bien protegido; asombroso servicio y producto

The pictures on this camera are amazing! It definetely has a learning curve? but even for a beginner like me, this is such a nice camera and it produces beautiful pics even in Auto settings.

It has everything latest from Fujifilm

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.
