Duh...I forgot to mention: ALLOW US TO CHANGE IT'S FUNCTION to ANYTHING WE WANT. LOL...
Absolutely
Just the F1-3 slots would be a welcome improvement. Fuji should do THAT ASAP!
YES! Like switching to camera mode
One more question: If I shoot RAW + jpeg, and I select one of the film sims on the dial, will I still get my RAW file?
@@RipeOldBanana Yes! That's the reason to shoot both.
If the recipe doesn't look good for a shot, you have a backup:) For instance you can't change to color on a monochrome jpg but you can with a RAW file.
I almost didn't buy the X-T50 because I thought you couldn't save recipes. It arrived today, and you can save 7 custom settings. I add that as my back cmd dial and switch through the recipes with ease. This is a great camera. I’m so glad they got rid of the 2.5 mm Jack.
I hope they listen to you! 😀
We need a FujiXweekly edition of the X-T50 with the 7 top film recipes programmed to that dial straight from the factory.
@@dan.allen.digital I love it!! 😀😀🤣🤣
This camera really needs to be 200 or more cheaper in all honesty
At LEAST.
900 dollars top!!!!!
Indeed
how about in your, what must be, usual dishonesty?
In our country, the Zf is just $100 or so more... 😂 Wth Fuji.
Listen Fujifilm to Omar. Very well said. Keep the base film simulation and let users save recipe settings.
I'm glad Fuji listens to the community after they release a camera, but it frustrates me that they don't really think things through BEFORE releasing their cameras. I always remember when they released the X-H2/S and they wanted to force users to set the aperture ring to A and not allow you to control ISO on the dials. It took months of yelling at them to get it fixed. Dumbest thing they've ever done.
I was so excited about the film sim dial until I learned they didn't think about the community and don't allow us to use each film sim slot as a custom recipe. The camera is absolutely capable of keeping individual settings, all Fujis do it with C1-C7, either through a dial or menu system. They just dropped the ball once again.
The X-T50 is not really a beginner camera, not at that price point and feature set. They should've treated it more like an enthusiast camera and allow us to save our recipes on the dial.
I would be all over that camera if it was weather resistant too. Any camera above $1000 should be able to take some rain. Maybe the X-T60 (all cameras should be WR, honestly) will be WR but who knows.
Or maybe should be IP-rated
Yea there’s no excuse for this. Not allowing you to save settings for how you want your film sim is ridiculous
The reason I chose Fuji is because I hate going into menus. I love the concept of the dial and think it could be improved as you are describing. Unfortunately the lack of vertical tilt screen and weather sealing make this particular camera a no go for me, however, if it were to find it’s way on to the XT6…shut up and take my money.
I'm a long time X-Txx user and I just can't see the point of a dedicated Film simulations dial. The drive dial made much more sense , as next to no one changes the film simulations so often that it would require a special dial for that. When I feel like doing art, I just swipe left on the LCD of my X-T30 mk. II to bring up the film simulations menu, and then I use the back roller to quickly go through all the film simulations. Or you could use any of the programmable buttons to do the same thing. With the X-T50, you get a dedicated film simulations dial that can't be (so far) programmed to do anything else, so it sort of feels like a waste of space. Also, having a dedicated drive dial means you can quickly change to high/low speed burst mode, panorama, multiple exposure mode, video mode... without going into any menus, which is much more useful than having the right film simulation for the occasion. Afterall, when you shoot raw+jpeg you can always change the film simulation in post.
I have literally never used the drive dial. I don't change film sim that much either. I'd rather it was just a blank customisable one for a bunch of options.
An ISO dial would have been preferred, but if each dial sim is allowed to be customized individually via firmware update, then we would have 11 more recipes that we could save. This would make the sim dial much more useful for those of us who use recipes exclusively and not the default sims.
Yes, yes, and yes. I use the drive dial all the time on my X-T30ii, and I never change the film simulation because I shoot raw.
They should "fix" the price as well
IBIS is pricey.
@@philipcooper8297 and a 40mp sensor, even on an APS- C
@@philipcooper8297So what Ibis has existed for over 6 years in fujifilm bodies. I get that making it smaller costs money. But how could you release a xt-..0 camera when it is in a totally different and unappealing price range compared to the previous line up? Makes 0 sense
The last one was like $800. Is the ebay markup a new feature they've added?
@@philipcooper8297 IBIS didn't impact the price of the XTX line much. 5% increase from XT2 to XT5, 85% increase from XT20 to XT50
Just keep your beloved X-T20😎
The X-T30 mk. II was perfection, apart from the Q button, of course. 😀
Indeed! I recently got the X-T30 II - SO glad I did!
Bought the XT-30ii just before xmas last year so glad I did and it is great alongside my ageing X-T, which in reality is still a great camera.
I keep my only camera xt20 and wait for next things 😂
I think that the best way for Fujifilm to implement it is to keep the way it works for all the markings directing to any specific film sim, but allow use to change custom settings (C1, C3 to C7) with the FS1, 2 and 3 positions on the dial. That way you have your vanilla Fuji film sim, the FS1 2 and 3 for your custom recipes that you want to recall often, and then the C position fow when you need to access any otf the other 4 custom settings.
Dear Omar. I religiously watch all your videos. No matter what subject, the camera system or whatever review is. Please, don't take me wrong... you ARE most knowledgeable and creative reviewer out there. But my addiction is more about your positive attitude, writing skills, and your warm-hearted sense of humor. It's all about your talent. I'm sure if you'd switch to reviewing laundry machines, I'd fallow your channel anyway. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your talent with us, generic mortals.
“Most knowledgeable”? Let’s not get carried away 😅
Most funny and relatable dad camera influencer on YT for sure. Genuine guy as well.
Although it's not preferred, the way Fuji has implemented the dial makes sense. As you pointed out, the other camera has specific 'C'ustom options to save recipes. What would have been better is if Fuji left the film simulations in a menu and added custom simulations to the dial. It's a hardware problem, not necessarily software (though an option to change this feature in the camera settings would be appreciated). What I've been begging for, for over five years, is to allow users to save / sync their custom recipes in the Fuji X app. Maybe even have an API for FujiXWeekly to sync with the Fuji App.
I vote for letting us *replace* some of their sims with our own recipes. In X-RAW studio we would save to a SIM (replace) instead of a custom setting, with the ability to restore to default.
I like the film sim wheel - you can dial through the sims fast. But I agree you ought to be able to edit each wheel sim as you like. Sure I miss the dedicated ISO dial but you can quickly select the ISO with the front command dial.
Agree, a bit of a missed opportunity. I’d love to see in a FW update soon. At a high vantage point, I always thought Fuji should have made their 1-7 Custom slots on the XS/XH series be agnostic a-la Sony’s recent unmarked (Exp Comp) dials… Imagine If Fuji created an easy selector switch under the left Custom dial with Sims, Custom, and Recipes as the 3 options (21 options overall)… it would make it both flexible and fun. Or just have an A, B, C selector enabling you to take the 7 slots to infinity and beyond! :D. One can dream! I think the Film Sim dial is great for the intended audience, I was a bit surprised in your recent caffeinated video (which was epic!) that Fuji limited the dials to that degree. Have loved your recent uploads Omar… stay being you!
The X-S20 does have an unmarked left dial that comes preset with the ability to roll thru their sims. But one can reprogram that to something more useful. I'm happy having the sim in the q menu. I guess Fuji liked the idea so much they said "Hey, for the X-T50, let's make this dial marked and only for our sims".)
No rush with the firmware.. we will be waiting for Fuji to work through their preorders again..
I really would like to know what focus groups they actually use when they are exploring new features. 🤔
Omar my bro, you're aging well haha. You continue to rock and glad to re-find your channel. I remember the photo walk we did in Union Square I think it was, back in 2019 it must have been, or 2018 actually. Peace bro!!
Now this is a good place to ‘start' designing the T6.
I asked for this since day one. And I met the Fuji representatives at a local dealer event and asked them to do this.
So I see a few options here:
- Per each film simulation keep the clarity, highlight, shadows, chrome, noise reduction, etc. etc. (what you also said)
- If Fuji wants to insist on keeping the dial selections "pure" then they should at least do this for the FS1, FS2, FS3 slots
- Another option is to make a menu option to allow for this or use the shipping default behavior (i.e. what they do now vs saving settings per film selection)
I am more inclined for at least the 2nd option as adding a menu option hidden somewhere seems to me makes things just more complicated, but I am ok with they chose that and they strongly feel the default should be only the film.
I don't think we are going to see them allowing for general customization of this dial for any function given the "strong UI language" to the user of a dial with a setting, but maybe allow that for the FS1, FS2, FS3 slots. We can say they are "Function Specialization 1... 2.. 3.. " :-)
Well damn, Omar getting grey. Welcome to the club brother.
Hey my name ist Omar too! well, Ömer cause im turkish :D
ive ordered the x-t50 with kit lens for me and i hope they will bring the firmware you mentioned
i love you
Well said. I couldn't agree with you more. The concept is good. It's execution underdeveloped. This is a simple fix and they ought to do it asap.
Its no problem to get the film simulations C1 - C7 assaign to one custom button, like using the AEL or whatever function button you pick. So I not see the problem. Also when the wheel is set to C its working like the other models with the Q button.
I have had several Fuji bodies and usually I've set things up where the rear jog dial press brings up the film sims...then I just scroll the same wheel with my thumb to go through all the sim modes. I'd argue that this is easier than having that seperate film sim knob. (When not pressed, it's used to change the aperture for lens that don't have a dedicated aperture ring).
Basically, you'd like the dial to be a custom settings dial instead. Think there's a lot that agree with that.
The thing is, the film sim is just one ingredient. Sugar is always sugar, salt is always salt, provia is always provia.
So what happens when you are in C1-7 (there no option to not be in a custom setting) and you want to change the film SIM ingredient on the fly. You can already do this in the Q menu, or clicking whatever fn button you have allocated to film sim, or the dial in the x-t50.
But if your film sim dial doesn't just change to the film SIM, but to a tweaked version of it, that's going to mess with your custom settings.
Yes this would be great ! But also being able to set designated recipes to the 3 Fs positions in the dial as well.
The dial is interesting, but it should be on a cheaper model. Something for beginners. At that price point, the X-T50 should be aimed at committed users who would like something more useful. If the entire dial were custom simulations, it would make much more sense. It would be better than going into the menu to look for C1, C2, C3, etc. Alas, your suggestion is definitively an improvement.
Yes - this ⬆️
People who keep asking Fujifilm to lower the price, please go buy a Sony ZV1.
😂😂
Hi Omar, great follow up video! I think you have a point there. The dial in this form doesn’t add much.
Maybe they listen to you! Haha
Cheers from Holland
Nice! It's surprising that Fuji didn't initially consider this feature.
There is another aspect that could be improved. We can edit JPEGs in-camera by adjusting film recipes, shadows, highlights, etc., but this process is complex, making it difficult for users to understand what's happening with the image. What if, while viewing a picture, users could adjust JPEG settings simply by turning a simulation dial? It would be an easy, quick, and intuitive way to change your recipe for a specific image.
Just
- view image
- turn dial
- hit okay
Was really looking forward to this camera, but the price and the issue with that dial is a real deal breaker for me.
Great suggestion, turn it into s complete recipee button….however, right now settings menues are a mess in the lineup with both Q1- and PASM dials. However a recipees dial would make the camera outsell x100vi. Also keep the C and make the numer of Q programs ”endless” we dont need a fixed number, we need to be able to add as many recipes as we want…meaning we should be able to load the whole fuji weekly database into the camera.
In the T30ii the one I use I know it is probably on a lot of other fuji cameras is I can just use swipe gesture on the screen and easily cycle through the film sims, I use the joystick to go up and down the film sim list very easy I dont know why they have to put that new dial on
so much lag in camera LCD touch screens I never bother. they're 20yr behind phones.
that would be nice, but i doubt they will do that. so many basic "fixes" they could do for their other cameras to make usability better but they never did. im looking at your XT30 version 1
This wheel is just an effect wheel, it cycles through different colour effects and thats it. I don't have a problem with it as I would never use such a feature, but it is like saying that I don't know what I am doing so lets try a dozen effects see which one looks better. I am sure that others think differently.
You mean like Lightroom? Let's try moving sliders to see which one looks better? That is different because....?
Oh I see, moving sliders means you know what you are doing compared to somebody choosing a pre-set, right?
I think Fuji definitely need to re-think their custom modes, while they're now similar to other brands - they previously created this expectation that custom modes were just about JPG settings, but have since allowed all manner of operational camera settings (drive mode, focus etc) to also be saved in those slots. Simplest option does seem to be splitting these apart - move those JPG settings into each film sim, and leave custom modes to just manage the operational settings. Similar to Nikon's picture controls - which also allow saving/loading from a memory card.
Second your idea - if, of course, the FS1-FS3 positions functions like it as well.
With it, you can separate the film simulation from the C positions on the menu - which are much more useful to store settings for shooting scenarios (today, if you use the C custom positions to store shooting settings - portrait, action, street, etc - you are locked into a recipe).
This is the problem that I current have in the X-S20 - if I put C1 with a concert shooting parameters (shutter above 1/250, burst mode, etc) with a Provia recipe and want middle shotting change the film recipe quickly: no way.
I believe a blank dial with a customized set of functions would be an easier solution as far as programming but that would be in a V2 of the camera. Maybe be able to toggle the dial between different options: custom settings/ film sims/ drive settings/ and ISO-i would have these easily changed via a rotationing bracket under the blank dial
‼️A nice camera. I would buy it if it hasn't the film simulation wheel. This is a toy for Instagram people...
p.s. the price for the X-T50 body in Switzerland is actual sFr. 1250.- (€ 1240.-) in Interdiscount shop. ...
can you change the custom setting when its on a simulation on the dial?
Say you have c1 as daylight soft shadow c2 daylight hard shadow
c3 indoor soft chadiwb and so on?
this would men you could make recepies that works on different simulations with the dial?
I have and old xt100 and at the time the lack of that feature was a completely let down. Bonus points if you could manage it on the phone and "load" a bunch of presets from there.
Is there any camera that does this and doesn't not cost a house?
i feel like they can make the film dial into C dial for different C1, C2, C3, etc. It might make the label on dial be useless/arbitrary but it makes you memorize and able to switch between Recipes instead of film.
Welcome to the world of coding my friend:)
A better idea is simply allow X_T50 folk to store recipes in F1-3. That gives them 3 of their own stuff. Imagine being able to bracket or shoot video using your own recipe.
However, for the rest of us Fuji folk (I have the X-H2 and X-S10) This will revolutionize Fuji for ever for recipe lovers!
Simply allow us to REPLACE some of their standard sims with our own recipes. I NEVER use the 4 monochrome sims, for instance. That's 4 slots for my stuff.
(You'd have to rewrite X-RAW studio to do this) Instead of saving to one of the precious custom settings, our recipes will act just like the others; we can simply chose one whenever we want. (We could also add our own short descriptions😅).
On the X-S20 the custom settings include *everything* from recipe to shooting mode, to focus mode (not available on cameras with that switch:(): I have C4 set to birds in flight. When I need it I simply turn to C4 and fire away. Imagine being able to use *any* sim, including our own. C3 is my own B/W mode but that's a waste of a custom setting if I can dial in my B/W recipe instead.
Get my drift? PLEASE pass this along.
Yes,yes,yes
It always amazes me that Camera manufacturers will alienate there base to attract new users. Do they think their base will always be there regardless of what they do? I’m not necessarily talking about Fuji, because I’ve seen them all do it. But, Fuji does seem to be good at it.
So many people complaining about the price who would never buy it. If it was less they'd change their complaint to something else or say "I'll wait for the next one so I can get this one cheaper". The comment section is so predictable.
Is the film-simulation dial active in Auto mode or are you confined to Standard, B&W, and Sepia (thank you Fuji) as you are on the X-T30? You're right, of course, about all this. Fuji should listen to you.
i thought the whole point of the dial was to scroll through your own film recipes quicker without having to go through q menu but its just the base fuji simulations 😭 how often are people switching between provia, astia and velvia that you need a dedicated dial for them......
Spot on.
I miss my XT20, everything just made sense😂
I kind of love the X-T50 even though the Fujifilm value proposition has taken another critical hit with this release.
It is really cute. Shame it doesn't have a selfie screen. You'd think the people who'd want a film sim dial would want to see themselves while taking selfies. That's one of the core functions a phone still can't provide: use the best lens while seeing yourself.
Either way, I bought in at the X-T2 for a cheaper, smaller than full frame system, which could keep up in terms of image quality and AF. Currently, they don't make many cameras much smaller than the smaller full frame options, or significantly cheaper than the entry level options either, and their AF is stuck in last decade so the entry level from Canon and Sony are already a bit better value just for the tech. It is a frustrating time to own XF lenses. 😂
I wish they'd make a camera no taller than the mount, with IBIS and a flip up selfie screen for under $1000 at least, then I could forgive missing the shot a bit more. I'd even take a plastic X-A8 at this point, tbh.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but the film sim dial behaves exactly like the top left dial does on the X-S10 and X-S20, except on those cameras, it can be reprogrammed to a variety of different functions and isn’t specifically labeled or coded. All Fujifilm has done here is taken the film sim menu - which has always been assignable to a button (the left D-pad button on the X-T5 is mapped to it by default, for instance) - and put it on a dedicated dial. Scrolling through the film sim menu has never changed highlights, shadows, clarity, white balance, or anything else - just the film sim. The custom setting slots - typically seven of them - allow you to save almost all of these settings in conjunction with a specific film sim. That’s how you customize each sim to your liking. Does the X-T50 lack those slots? If so, that’s a major oversight.
100% agree with you
Honestly, I was expecting an X-S20 spec with classic controls. I am sorry, I fail to see the point of the film simulation dial. At least, not before you address the fundamentals of the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter, and ISO. Therefore, I would have preferred an ISO dial.
Thanks for all your videos and good work, Omar! I love it! 🤟 So, what about this camera? I'm disappointed . I've an X-E3 and want to upgrade. I set the film simulation once and for all. The space here is wasted on the X-T50 and could have been used for ISO. Built-in flash is also a waste. Then to the design in general. I don't like the sloping angles on the top of my X-E3 and this is a reason alone to upgrade. The X-T50 slopes all over and the wheels on top also appear to slope. Unfortunately, the camera looks amateurish and seems having very little tactile feel. The rest of the camera looks OK and technically it is a major progress compared to its predecessors. I'll just have to wait until the X-PRO4/5 arrives (or buy a used X-PRO2/3 while waiting). Sorry.
The changes you suggest will however help people who like to change their appearance all the time. But who are they really? Yawn 🙂
"Built-in flash is also a waste"
Until you need fill.
Hi there great video as always! Please tell me where you go your MacBook camera decal? I need that in my life.
Well, that fix would still be inferior I think. You would only be able to have a single set of custom settings for each film sim and thus still need to use "C" to get multiple recipes for a single film sim. IMHO, it is still a bonkers decision to have that film sim dial. But I guess Fuji thinks it will sell, else they wouldn't have done it.
After Panasonic S9 announcement, I wonder if Fuji somehow knew that it is coming, panicked (full frame L mount compact camera with dedicated LUT button sounds great on paper) and decided they need to counter it by adding film sims dial...
Where did John get your Mac decal?
If they do that i will buy it right away.
Is there a switch to go back-and-forth from movie to skills?
NO. It's a drive button. :(
I set up my XS10 to use the far left dial to be my film simulation.
The X-S20 comes like that from the factory:) but one can reprogram it.
I thought it would be nice if the recipes could be switched using the lever under the dial.
Excellent video 😊!
Sure sounds easy. What if they cheaped out and now the camera doesnt have enough memory to store the extra settings. 😅
Should have made it custom settings. Or one of the exposure triangle setting dial.
Even with this fix the dial is ridiculous. A drive dial is better. An ISO dial would be even better.
I have 3 Fuji's. Apart from B&W I don't use film sims. Personally, I think the dial is as exciting as the X-T4. Not for me.
Yup
I’ve no idea why you can’t send a recipe from the Fuji app to your camera. Or like a top 10 recipes. So, you would favourite recipies from Fuji X Weekly or a Fuji owned version and simply send from your phone. Now that would be a feature!
As a long time fan and user of the XS10 and now XS20, I am so confused with the XT50. The XS10/20 has the "same dial" on the left. By default it rotates across the fujifilm recipes....besides having the icons painted on the dial how is the XT50 dial any different or new?
Basically everyone just wants a dial that is fully customizable with prob 7 presets they can rotate around with....they all might as well just get the XS20 if they are on a budget or spend big with the XH2S (I think that has the dials with most custom presets)
I am just really struggling to see the point of this XT50 when it's only 300 dollars less than the XT5 and not as capable as the XS20.
XS- is PASM, flip out screen and big grip. So nope.
X-T5 is larger, heavier and costs more. So nope.
Was it really that hard to figure out?
I can't understand how they did it so wrong - It's like you create a hammer, right?
and then you grab it upside down and smash everything around witha the handle XD
My big question would be if you can still save a unique recipe in the Q-Menu on the X-T50 (like I can on the X100v/vi)?
Yes.
Thank you Omar! They should separate the C settings from the film recipe settings. With C you manage the whole camera settings including film recipes. Better would be changing camera settings with C1-C7 and filmrecipes separately with for example F1-F7. Please write that in your letter to Fujifilm 😉😅.
Does the Xt-50 have the same Smooth Skin Effect feature as the Xt5?
Yes
Fuji, just make the diay act like C1-C7 and sell a sticker to paste over the silly little icons.
Film simulation dials with locked setting, so you basically described the custom dial 😅
I get that it seems like a simple fix but it's hard to know how deep into the logic structure of the firmware that simple fix would have to go. Is using the C position for immediate access to a custom recipe in some way less convenient than not having the dial at all? In my opinion it's just a lot of whinging from the usual self serious forum dwellers. Actual users of the camera will end up loving the film sim dial. If they can actually get an X-T50. Honestly I'm a little surprised that you are throwing in with the haters. Not what I would have expected.
It is a pity that FS 1, 2 and 3 aren't linked to custom slot 1, 2 and 3 though. That would have been perfect for me.
fujifilm need to make double functions dials like in x100 lineup(iso/shutter dial).Imagine if we will have 3dials x2=6 dials in 1 camera.
I don’t think I’ll buy this camera unless they fix this problem and I was excited to buy it right away
Sometimes the decisions they make are so bizarre. I couldn’t stand how with the X-S10/20 line tapping the joystick couldn’t recenter the focus point like you can on all the other cameras. Just sort of random decisions they make at times…
I think I'll pass this camera: I'm happy with my X-T30 II and see no reason to upgrade to XT 50. I wish they upgraded EVF and gave us ISO dial, but instead we've got films sim dial. Well, I guess I'm not a target audience for this camera.
I've always wanted to try full frame, so I instead of upgrading I think I'm going to try Nikon Zf.
Zf? Be prepared for the lens cost, weight and size!
@@JackBurton-qp4hc I’ll be fine with Nikon 24-70 f4. Besides, my Fuji gears is not going anywhere.

Wait a year.
It won’t be needed till about 2035, by then Fuji might have supplied cameras to their customers 😂😂😂 I’m maybe being by harsh, I can’t wait to get my x100t the internet tells me it’s fabulous 🎉
But help me understand why even have that film dial at all? I'd much rather have the drive dial like on my X-T30 II or an ISO dial like on the X-T5. If you want quick access to the film simulations, you could just assign them to say the Fn button - press it and choose the film sim want and it's done.
Because it is the Unique Selling Point of Fuji cameras aimed at new users.
Can the C settings be named? Do they store the white balance shift separately?
I am guessing you use an older Fuji? The later ones like the X-E4 have the ability to store WB shifts separately for each recipe and the recipes can be named. It is therefore very likely that the X-T50 also does it.
@@JackBurton-qp4hc Thank you! Yes, an X-T20.

As for me, about Fujifilm - it's a long long story and interesting discussions in future)) Too many recipes, I think it is not well to the result. People are twisting the settings and so on. Where is Henri Cartier-Bresson 🤔🧐😄
Around 1000 bucks ok but not for this price.
40 mega pixel at 1000$ ????😮 How's that possible
Show code or didn't happen lol.
The fact that only the simulation and not its settings are changing has been an annoyance of mine FOREVER. But I'm certain Fuji won't do anything about that. This has been criticized forever.
It's a real shame they downgraded the MkII of the X-T30 compared to the OG for Recipe fans, and now it's another step backwards. Luckily most people don't know how they fucked up the MkII software, so the original isn't too expensive. That's still the smaller model to go for I'd say.
I really don't care. it is Not like all Fuji cameras are going to be like this. This is an entry version of Fuji and that's how it should be.
Before you send it Omar.....write in a code that allow us none film sim users, to reassign the dial to something else!!! That would be a decent compromise for having this gimmicky dial that is just aimed at jpeg shooters
good idea Omar!
It astonishes me that there isn't a feature on Fuji cameras to easily send a film simulation recipe from an app to the phone.
Particularly because their own computer software does it now over a USB cable to the camera. The pieces are there to make it happen from Phone app.
lol you can always tell if something’s under designed when anyone using a feature for 5 seconds immediately picks up on missing expected behavior. there’s nobody on earth that “just” uses the film sims without adjustments- there’s only 2 types of people: people who make adjustments, and people who don’t use film sims at all
"there’s nobody on earth that “just” uses the film sims without adjustments"
How do you know?
@@JackBurton-qp4hc oh it’s not a quantitative statement, it’s like saying there’s nobody on earth that plays video games on a macbook natively without installing windows- the sample size of people who do is so tiny that if they were to vanish the next day, it wouldn’t affect anything or anyone and it’d be like if they didn’t even exist :) so that’s what i mean

I'm sure Fuji know more than you do.
@@fredbloggs545 yeah sure companies never make dumb decisions ok

Because putting the thing that literally sells their product right on the dial is a dumb decision....oh wait.
For a user like me, who primarily shoots raw, the film simulation dial is a complete waste. The drive dial is excellent on the X-T30ii, I use it all the time. It's even better than the drive dial on the X-T5, because it has two bracket choices vs. one. I would have thought the X-T50 was more for manual shooters, and the X-S20 was more for casual shooters, so I don't understand why they did this on the X-T50. A big disappointment for me. Not to mention, they didn't upgrade the battery.
You don't understand why Fujifilm would put a Unique Selling Point of their cameras on a dedicated dial? You may not like it, but is it absolutely understandable why they did so!
The battery remains due to its size. Large means larger camera. I wouldn't want a large grip like the X-S20 to accommodate the larger battery and you'd have to redesign the internals of the X-T50 to such an extent you'd end up with an X-T5 sized camera, making it pointless.
@@JackBurton-qp4hc The X-S20 shows they can design a smaller camera than the X-T5 with the bigger battery. I would actually prefer the bigger grip. The reason I said I didn't understand what they did is because I thought the X-T30 was aimed at people who liked more complete and easier-to-access manual control over the camera's functions. Elimination of the drive dial does not seem consistent with that. How often do you change the film simulation during a shooting session? For me, almost never. How often do you change the drive setting? For me, all the time.

While you would prefer the bigger grip to accommodate the battery, others do not. All cameras are a compromise and I am willing to lose a dial that I don't use and retain the smaller body with 40mpix and IBIS. I'll press the dedicated button to change drive.
The larger, heavier, X-T5 is clearly aimed at you as don't mind the size and weight due to the larger battery and it also has all the dials and controls you desire. The X-S20 isn't aimed at casual shooters, it is for hybrid shooters. Fuji retained the 26mpix as it has faster sensor readout for video shooters and also added the later, faster X-Trans processor.
Since the X-T30 upgrade path is the X-T5, the X-T50 is primarily marketed at *NEW* users. When marketing you don't bury your USP in a menu.
Those users are looking at an ILC version of the X100VI and the X-T50 is going to sell like hot-cakes precisely because of that dial, the new Fuji film simulation website and new apps.
Fuji selling a lot of cameras benefits us all. You have simply outgrown the X-Txx line and Fuji are not marketing it to you anyway. Get the X-T5 and be happy.
Well done Omar! 👌
