    The pricing of this camera is just ridiculous. In my area X-T4 costs 1 449€, X-T5 costs 1 538€ and X-T50 costs 1 498€. For just extra 40€ you get much more with X-T5.

    According to Fujirumors "Fujifilm X-T50 Enjoys Strongest Preorders (by FAR) among ALL X-T** Cameras" so yeah, I guess Fujifilm didn't make a mistake from price point of this camera. Although it's shame lots of people will skip this camera for the same very reason.

    Great video. I bought the XT5 last year, and it's a beautiful camera that produces amazing and high-quality results. With that said, I am considering selling it, and using the money to buy the XT50. Why? Because as beautiful as and high-performing as it is, the XT5 is a larger and heavier camera to use for the street photography I like to do. Also, the XT5 is a beautiful object that people on sidewalks (my potential subjects) notice. I've had a couple of strangers come up to me and ask me about the camera. This is nice, but when you're trying to get in the zone of photographing in the streets of New York, it's a bit counter productive. My other camera is a Ricoh GR 3, which pretty much makes me invisible. I wanted a step up in image quality than the Ricoh, and the added bonus of the simulations. So for these reasons, I'm considering the XT50: a smaller, lighter, less noticeable XT5.

      Thank you for sharing. Do you really need 40mpix that you are looking at X-T50? If you dont need this high resolution then check out X-S20 as it has almost all specs apart 40mpix sensor and costs way less than X-T50 especially that you can look up for a used one which would bring price even lower. Anyway whilst I wont be getting X-T50 due to very increased price I am eyeing for X-S20 as I dont need 40mpix, so no need to overpay for it in X-T50.

    At that price, it should have had two card slots, 26mp and weather sealing to be considered a mini X-T5. So basically you would get the X-T5 if you wanted 40mp. If a camera offers a 40mp sensor then it is made for photographers who demand more from their camera like 2 card slots. But those who love Fuji they buy them mostly because they look cool and they are fun to shoot with and Fuji knows that.

    I really wanted a smaller camera to carry around in my bag all the time. Ordered the X100VI, but I do not think I will get one before the end of the year...also I am having second thoughts because of the price. I owned the X-T20 before and I quite liked it so was hoping the X-T50 might be a good alternative. I share many of your misgivings about the camera, and again, end up looking at the used market for an X-E...1... The funny thing is, the demand for the X100V and now VI increased the prices for ALL fujifilm cameras, and 3 - 4 year old cameras are being sold for prices they were bought for. Second hand X100V is still more expensive now at BHP than what the price was for the new V. That is a bit insane...

      Its tough, back in the day I got X-T30ii over X100V to be able interchange lenses and as a bonus to save money. Now X-T50 and X100VI are priced similarly, so you need to decide if fixed lens with built in ND filter is better than the ability to interchange lenses. At this point I would even consider X-T4 as for me IBIS is more important that 40mpix sensor.

      having both models (used to own a xt30)-- it's not comparable.Because once you put any lens thats not the 27mm pancake on the xt30 -- the camera loses its portability and slim nature. the x100v/vi however will always slim and small unless you put the tele/wider angle lens converter on it. Personally if its for travel, ill just stick to my x100vi where if i need to get to work; i use my xh2s/gfx100s. Different tools for different purposes.

    • @ShotsByJev
      @ShotsByJev  4 місяці тому +2

      It is strange you say that unless you put 27mm lens the kit wouldnt be as compact anymore, well yes, its physics, the same as you will add teleconverter on X100vi it wont be compact either. The main difference is wether fixed lens for you would be enough, because for me wasnt so I got X-T30ii and on travels I can either carry it with compact 27mm lens, but I also can have with me few other lenses and use them depending on the situation without being limited to one fixed lens. Also I wouldnt invest in those teleconverters as I think it would be harder to sell compared to actuall lens. But yeah, it depends on everyone preferences and needs.

I haven't seen it in the flesh but it looks cheap and badly designed to me with the sloping shoulders and rounded off ends. I'll keep the X-T30 until I can afford something better, but it won't be the X-T50 at that price with that design. It's worth paying the extra for the X-T5.

    A lot of people seem to want something for nothing. the 40MP sensor is expensive. The IBIS is expensive. It's a newly designed body, not just a re-use of the previous XT-line. All of this costs some money.
    IN the US, the X-T5 is $300 more - it boils down to how important size is for you. To me it is, so X-T50 it is. If size is not a bother, sure, go X-T5.
    I don't think you can expect the X-T30II to be upgraded with IBIS, keep the same size, and yet the same price. That's just not happening. That's wanting something for nothing. Much less since inflation has kicked in.

    • @ShotsByJev
      @ShotsByJev  4 місяці тому

      Well, I dont understand why people defending price increase with new features being added. Because every new model has to have something new, you cant upgrade the camera with the same specs. Then those parts have been used in other cameras, they havent been designed solely for XT50 except for the design, so it isnt that expensive to reuse existing parts in new model. For years XT3, XT4, XT5 came out with new features and without price increase
      Then you say you cant expect XT30ii to be upgraded with ibis, kept the same size and price. There is X-S20 that has that ibis without 40mpix sensor. What was happening before if the new model packed with new specs came out the older models dropped in price. This time Fuji just released the camera with almost 100% price increase just so they could keep the prices on older models the same. Now you have XT30ii without ibis and 40mpix, XS20 with ibis and bit expensive, and XT50 double the price with ibis and 40mpix.
      So I just cant appreciate this their new pricing strategy.

    • @Raist3db
      @Raist3db 4 місяці тому

      @@ShotsByJev Keep in mind the inflation that has happened since Covid. You really can't expect the same game as before. The X-T30II doesn't have the 40MP sensor, but the 26MP sensor. Also the previous CPU (using the newer one- that also costs some money by the way).
      You mention re-using part- we don't know if the IBIS had to be redesigned a bit for the smaller X-T50 body - or at least re-use the one from XS20 which already had to be designed for a bit smaller. So on the X-T50 you get the 40MP sensor, a brand new CPU, a newly designed body as it is not a recycled body from the XT30II, X-T5 or XS20, IBIS and add on top of that inflation since the X-T30II.
      I wouldn't be surprised if the price drops a bit in a couple of month with some offer, but the point is, we can't expect the X-T30II to be kept at the same price with IBIS and new CPU, even keeping the same 26MP sensor.
      I do think Fuji should consider an X-T30III with the same 26MP sensor and the new CPU with new AF but not IBIS. I think that may be doable.
      If you don't understand people defending a price increase with new features, then I humbly suggest you give a critical look at pricing of parts and ask yourself if an older 26MP sensor wouldn't be cheaper than a newer 40MP one. Same with CPU, Same with IBIS which is material and mechanical contraption that the other model doesn't have. And then having to build and test that in the factory before shipping which ads more cost.

      with your logic every product new generation should significantly increase in price. The iPhone with this logic now should have cost at least 10k. But the prices increases little by little over generations due to inflation and other stuff. not like 500$ increase straight away. Here is another reason for the increase, they just want to earn money while they see their popularity, because they kept X-T30ii for the same price. Usually if company releases a new generation model the last one gets discontinued or gets big price drop, this time it didnt happen.

      @@ShotsByJev No, I don’t think with my logic every product new generation should significantly increase in price. It’s about what your are providing, what is new materials wise, etc. Your continuing comparison with the XT30II is flawed because this is a camera whose production has already been quite streamlined and probably even still in stock to sell, with the same body and everything else for years. It a sensor that is quite likely much cheaper than the still somewhat new 40MP. Compare to adding a new IBIS mechanism. The expectation with he changes to keep the price at near same I find ludicrous- even if Fuji is still applying a bit more markup also. Heck, Fuji could just axe the XT30II and force the pricing tier up if so many people so want them and they want to take advantage.

    I think the IBIS is absolutely worth it. On the x100vi I'm able to shoot at 1/10 shutter and leave the iso at max 3200, I get lovely low noise images in low light. I was frequently frustrated with the x-t30 at night, had to bump up the ISO up to 12800 and keep the shutter at ~1/100 or above to mitigate camera shake, mostly using the f2 primes 23 & 35. The most frustrating part was feeling defeated after I got better low light results with the iphone 15, since it does its multi-exposure magic to capture more light. I know I could've practiced a better grip and used continuous shooting to have a better chance of nailing the shot. But with the IBIS in the x100vi it's much easier, the new sensor also produces punchier colors. The 23 on the x100vi is a step above the f2 version, still not really possible to achieve blurry backgrounds, and this make the x-t50 a tempting alternative to the x100vi, unless I get the 35mm conversion lens for the x100.

    • @ShotsByJev
      @ShotsByJev  4 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, I get your point, but ask to ask $500 for IBIS I think is too much. When X-T4 with IBIS replaced X-T3 the price didnt increase, because it was natural upgrade the same as here. But as lots of people pointing out that X-S10/20 has IBIS and doesn’t break a bank with extra features like 40mpix that not all people need. Still as I saw the preorders on this X-T50 is very high which means Fuji did everything right and people are still willing to overspend on Fuji cameras.

    I have been considering the X-T5 for a while, then the X-T50 was announced and I also had the chance to handle an X-T5. I did not like the handling of the X-T5 at all. It was poor compared to my X-T1 and an X-T4 I had borrowed. So, I was very interested in the X-T50 as an upgrade to my X-T20, purely for the IBIS, but though I think the price is not unreasonable for the feature set one is getting, there is a problem with the pricing policy here. For a lot less money I can get an X-T4 used, which whilst larger, is much better specified in terms of handling and versatility, or I can get a new OM-5 and a range of lenses for about the same price. A camera with excellent weather sealing, compact size, class leading IBIS, great build quality and a large choice of high quality lenses and if I did not already have a number of Fujifilm lenses this would be the way I would go (and still might). I will hold fire on final judgement though until they actually hit the shops and one can hold one in ones hand, always very important when one outlays a lot of money. If the camera feels "just right" to me in the way the X-T1 and 4 do, but the X-T5 does not, I will be very tempted indeed to get one.

    I had been seriously thinking about upgrading. I own the XT20 and Pro 2 both of which I love. Weight is a problem for me so I spent some time researching cameras about a week ago and realized that I already had what I needed. The larger sensor would be a problem as it requires more memory in your computer, hard drives, SSD cards etc. and i already have over 3tb of photos from my 60+ years of photography. I already have lens for m 4/3 system and you could buy a MO D 5 for around $1,100 and good used prime lens from KEH for under $200 for a weather resistant camera that weighs less than a pound. Or, the X-S20 and use my 4 Fuji lens, but weight is really my problem. The XT20 with the 23mm lens and the Pro 2 with the 27mm lens weighs almost the same.

    Film simulation is a nice feature but I don't think it deserves a separate dial. How often will it be used really once the novelty wears off? Fuji once again appears to value style over substance, but you can only take that so far. Fuji's style can't be beat, but it should always be number two not number one in camera design. Also, $300 price difference for the next higher model is not wide enough. Maybe they introduced the XT-50 just to sell more XT-5's....

    I agree it's a little pricey but a new model with upgraded features. As a long-time wildlife and sports Fuji shooter, I wanted a small walk-around camera with an interchangeable lens. I currently shoot with the H2s. I had the 100 series but I found it was limiting and I couldn't set this camera up for my style of shooting. When the X-T50 was announced, it drew my attention and I purchased the camera. I really like the camera with the new 16-50 lens. It's very sharp even with the 40-meg sensor. I can also program the front and rear dials exactly the way I have my H2s set up. The front dial is ISO, and the rear dial is exposure comp. I've also programmed some buttons. One for eye detection and one for bird detection. IS works well. The film dial is okay; it was just an easy way to create different looks. I'm also finding it in good light; just switching to the full auto switch has worked well. Time well tell, but I'm happy with my purchase.
