Fujifilm X-T50 schwarz Body

The Fujifilm X-T50 becomes one of the most compelling cameras at its price point, delivering the core photo and video quality of the high-end X-T5 in a smaller, lighter and more affordable body, while retaining much of its vintage charm. Like the X100 VI, the X-T50 impressively squeezes IBIS into a compact body that’s barely thicker than its predecessor, transforming its flexibility, while adopting the latest sensor and image processor. In use, I appreciated the improved grip and found the new Film Sim dial encourages you to explore what’s arguably one of Fujifilm’s finest features. If the X-T photo-first approach appeals to you more than the hybrid X-H and X-S models, then you have to decide whether to go for the cut-down X-T50 or the fully-featured X-T5. Both share the same quality, but the X-T5 gives you a larger and more detailed viewfinder, a screen that also angles-out sideways when shooting in the portrait orientation, twin card slots, a faster mechanical shutter and bursts, along with a bigger battery, all packed into a weather-sealed body with a more comfortable grip. Being 18 months older, the X-T5 may be discounted, narrowing the gap to become what seems like a no-brainer. But for some the more compact size of the X-T50 is its unique super-power, and coupled with a pancake prime, it also becomes a viable alternative to the X100 series with the flexibility of interchangeable lenses. And if you love the style of the X-T50 but find the new price too high, the older X-T30 II continues to sell in some regions at a more affordable level. It might not have IBIS, the Film Sim dial or the latest sensor, but remains a solid option.

The X-T50's autofocus tracking is a step behind its peers, but it offers great image quality and a fun dial.

It's better than the X-T30 II in nearly every way.

Highly Recommended – Lovely, user-friendly camera that delivers sparkling photos and the dedicated Film Simulation dial is an attractive feature
