FUJIFILM X-T50: An X100VI with Interchangeable Lenses!

the Fujifilm xt50 camera is officially here along with a new 16 to 50 mm kit lens on a superficial level you might think this camera is a successor to the xt30 version 2 in terms of form factor and intended user but it packs in quite a few top tier Fujifilm specs as well as a few completely new hardware features that really make this its own thing it's a compact interchangeable lens apsc camera that features a lot of upgrades found in the x16 which is a little Fujifilm camera you probably haven't heard of such as the same 40 megapixel sensor and improved video recording options it also offers things like an impressive maximum burst rate of up to 20 frames per second as well as seven stops of built-in image stabilization but in terms of what's completely new here we have to start with this guy up here which is the film simulation dial the xt50 is the first X Series camera body to feature a dedicated dial just to access film simulations if fujifilm's cameras are known for anything it's their film stock replications that give you excellent filmic results right out of camera based on fujifilm's classic film stocks with the introduction of this dial these are now more accessible than they've ever Ben so the way it works by default is you can turn the dial to the C option here which I think stands for custom but I don't really know but what it will let you do is once you have it set here you can go into the settings on the camera and change your film sucks just like how you would on any other Fujifilm camera but then what you can do is on the style you have access to some of fujifilm's more popular film stocks like velvia is here uh reala Ace is on this as well classic neg is a new one that's available here so you can switch between some of the more popular ones but what I really really like is that they give you three fully customizable options here as well so there's a separate menu item in this camera where you can customize exactly which film stock you want to go for these so whatever film stock you like shooting with you were able to have it quickly accessible on this camera body generally speaking a lot of Fuji Shooters tend to find a stock they like or make a custom recipe and stick to it but having the style made me personally way more inclined to try more film looks in the moment beyond the two or three that I usually stick to now spec-wise the xt50 actually sits pretty comfortably among fujifilm's Flagship apsc cameras you're getting the same 40.2 megapixel fifth gen XTR C sensor found in the x16 as well as seven glorious stops of 5 AIS built-in image stabilization which is even more than the X100 6 and allows for smoother video as well as sharper images in low light or at telephoto lengths sheer performance- wise this camera is no slouch either it's capable of shooting up to 20 frames per second its maximum shutter speed in electronic shutter mode is 1 180,000 of a second the camera also features the same autofocus improvements found in the x16 which uses deep learning AI to track subjects like animals birds and Planes Trains and Automobiles in my experience these subject tracking modes along with the back AF button on the camera body gave me consistent and accurate Focus even in tricky lighting situations but the video specs in the xt50 are robust as well you're able to record up to 6.2k at 30 frames per second 4K 60 or full HD at 240 frames per second all all in 10 bit 422 you're also able to do this in either F log or fog 2 for an expanded dynamic range of 13 plus stops and the thing that really surprised me is that you can even output prores raw or Blackmagic raw to a compatible atos or Blackmagic recorder you're also getting frame IO integration which Fujifilm has been getting increasingly gung-ho about in their cameras and is great for both photo and video Shooters with this enabled you can wirelessly upload your photos and videos directly to your frame iio account while you're shooting so long as you have an internet connection finally the camera body itself is definitely in line with fujifilm's retro dial Centric design philosophy it's also compact coming in at 23.8 by 84 by 48.8 mm and weighing just 389 G in addition to the new film simulation dial you're also getting dials at the top for shutter speed and exposure compensation for I/O the xt50 gives you a 3.5 mm mic Jack USBC port and micro HDMI for external monitoring and in addition to a 3-way 1.84 million dot tilting LCD screen you're also getting a 0.8 time magnification evf which provides a refresh rate of up to 100 frames per second for virtually blackout free image making and finally you get an immensely satisfying pop-up flash accessible under the film simulation dial the xt50 will be available body only as well as part of a kit with a new 16 to 50 mm f2.8 to 4.8 lens this is a great allrounder lens that allows you to bounce between portraits and landscapes in a single lightweight body and the fact that it features an internal Zoom mechanism means it's even great for video Shooters on a gimbal the 60 and 50 mm is weather resistant with a minimum focusing distance of just 0.24 M and provides Snappy autofocus performance thanks to a linear motor system the xd50 is way more than just a placeholder camera while you wait for your x16 to ship it's an incredibly compact camera that's still gives you the flexibility of interchangeable lenses as well as performance that Rivals some of fujifilm's Flagship cameras and for Shooters who really like to play around with different film simulations the new dedicated dial in the xc50 may be a compelling enough reason by itself for Shooters to pick one up but that's a lot of hot takes coming from me and I would love to hear some of yours so let us know in the comments below what you think of the xt50 this is Nick with B&H stay creative
