- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Dave and Evelyn check out the new FUJIFILM X-T50, Fujifilm's latest X-series camera. This is the first X-series camera with a dedicated dial to access Fujifilm’s 20 Film Simulation modes, including REALA ACE mode. Sharing many features with the iconic X100VI but offering the added versatility of interchangeable lenses, it’s perfect for travel, family, and everyday use.

Paired with a lens with a marked aperture (preferably one of the small f2 primes), this camera has the most (beginner) user friendly user interface I've ever seen on a camera. Important aspects of exposure with clearly marked dials (shutter, aperture with the right lens). An easy escape hatch in the form of the auto switch. Instead of drive dials (which confuse most beginners), you have the film simulation dial which is a fun way to vary the look for beginners. Someone using this will never need to dive into the menu. Brilliant piece of industrial design and UX design.
Oh, and great video, definitely the best I've seen on this camera given the target audience of the camera itself.
This reads like an advertisement…the drive modes have literally been on Fuji cameras for years
@@josephk1342 Nah, I don't think marketing copy would focus on user interface to this degree (they'd use the word ”design” or ”user friendly” instead).
I'm not going to get this myself, and sadly it's priced pretty high for someone who is a beginner in photography, but my point regarding the UI stands.
And yeah, the drive mode has been on Fuji cameras for years which is great for experienced people who change drive all the time… but not for beginners!
But yeah, I can see the frustration if you liked the drive mode and was looking forward to this iteration.
I am quite excited about this camera and lens update, and cannot wait to see one in person.
Its a very cute little street/retro styled camera. I'm personally fine with the top left dial being for the film simulations, its a very easy way to adjust the overall color kind of like the filters on a smartphone and with the film simulations being one of Fuji's big selling points, putting it as a prominent control on the camera is a good move imo.
Finally a new classic... a beautiful fujifilm camera so far...
I think the film simulation dial could be made into a game changer if the basic design were changed to overcome its limits. What about a completely customizable dial with tiny integrated LCD windows that would show your assigned film simulations, visible at a glance?
I'm thinking of upgrading my X-T2, it still works fantastic and I even manage a few birds in flight shots with the 70-300. I think the battery might be the week point for me. How fast is the AF?
Can the film simulations be used for video? Would be xool when doing retro segments.
Not convinced by the film sim dial. Prefer the options on my X-T30 dial. Had been hanging on for this launch but price is way high.
The delete button doubles as a drive button so I’m guessing you can use that and one of the wheels to access the drive options. I think this would actually be an improvement on using the dial on top of the camera because your hands can stay in shooting position. I’m going to the X Summit consumer day this afternoon so I’ll get to see how it works.
@@zarawithcamera do feed back. I use the multiple shots a lot for wildlife and like the ease of a quick turn of a dial from single to multiple shots rather than menu hunting.
@@Longerweekends it didn’t occur to me. I just got to play with it with the new lens (as well as the new GFX100SII) and to be completely honest with you it seems like a huge step up from my x-t30. I can definitely see where the money goes. The new subject detection AI is fantastic, and I much prefer the drive selection over the old dial, it’s far more functional now and easy to access. Pressing the drive button brings up the drive menu and you navigate through it with the joystick or wheel - no taking your hands out of shooting position, and it’s got more functions.
Looks great and i like the film simulation dial. But too expensive is my opinion.
great video
3:47 Yikes. X-T50 only costs 20% less than the X-T5 and they still made it single card slot.
The R7 is the same price as the X-T50 and has dual UHS-II card slots, and the R7 battery is nearly twice as large.
I love Fuji but this camera is a tough sell.
Totally Agree with you.
The price should go down to 1100
Would prefer the ISO dial on the left and maybe a collar switch on that dial for a few custom film simulations (maybe three or four)
I am a M43 user too and like this camera, almost same weight size as my gx85. Yes a replacement for the Lumix GX85 and GX9 would be great.
Too expensive. Might as well spring for the X-T5.
fuji wins :)
Thanks! This little camera is gorgeous and has about all it takes except for, in my opinion, a dedicated ISO dial instead of this almost useless film simulation dial. Still I really like it ❤
Love Dave's comment that the X-T50 becomes an X-T5 when you put your finger over the zero. :) Gr8!
Does this camera support panorama mode?
Wow. Every Fuji Influencer and camera stores are liking this Camera this morning at $1399.00. It must be great.
Irony off .......
I saw a video stating that the film simulation wheel is only for défaut setting. Is it true or can you have different values (white balance, noise reduction, grain…..) for each of film simulation
Or do you have to go to the main menu for that how does it works ?
I think that's what the 3 custom options on the dial are for?
The S20 has been released for a while and not readily available. Not sure the point of releasing new cameras when the previously released model is still “new” enough to sell well if only they have more stock.
Sim dial will probably be good for video. For stills, though it's useless as I always shoot in raw.
Need an XE5 with Ibis.
Agreed. By June of 2025 we'll have it. :)
Love the film sim dial. Hate the EVF and price!
Hi,
I was wondering if I should get the X-T30 or X-T50…? Can anyone help me ? Is there really a huge difference with the new one ? Thanks in advance.
IBIS, larger file and X Trans senor worth the difference
@@tjcuneo I see. Thank you for your reply ☺️
A lot people that use other brands try shame and gatekeep Fujifilm users out of using film simulations, but hopefully with this just being out in the wild it breaks the gate. The color filter array is uniquely designed, in part, to get that mathematical color consistency with the film stocks the simulations represent, it’s foolish not to use them.
It is 40MP for USD 1400. Nikon Z7ii & Sony a7R both 40MP for USD 2000. No trainer XT50 more valuable. 😊..
This is the camera I would buy if I were to buy a Fuji - I personally love the film sim dial.
That being said, I'm a full fledged Micro 4/3 devotee, so please Panasonic and OM, give us some new, small, rangefinder style cameras. I need to know the mft future is secure
Too bad they priced it too high to be an alternative to the X100VI once you buy a lens for it. They don't allow you to tweak the film situations on the dial so it is of less interest to experienced users.
I feel a little insecure lol I want more of a separation of features and tech between this and my X-H2
if they stick in kodakchrome it will make Kodak Cry since they havent given it to us yet.
Go to this page and scroll down - you will see Kodachrome 64 film simulation recipe. I have put it in a custom slot on my Fujifilm X-H2 - LOVE IT!
The price is completely off. Fuji is really getting greedy. When the hype ends this could get a real problem for them.
Hype dictate’s price!
I think the price is almost justified because of the new specs, however I don't believe they needed to bring 40mp and IBIS to the X-T00 series. Cause yeah now the Fuji lineup is so close in terms of specs and prices... At least the X-T30ii is still available for now, but without a rumor of a new X-T200 replacement, Fuji doesn't really have a true entry level camera price wise. I think it ultimately just feels weird to have their top hardware in a camera with a film sim dial, a camera that is supposed to be for new photographers or Fuji users.
The pricing is just ridiculous
Maybe they are “ re-arranging “ their product lines. New sensor technology creates new products.
I couldn't agree more. They gave us IBIS but took away the kit lens stabilization so in reality they only upgarded the sensor and downgraded the lens and added 400 dollars to the price!
Lack of a screen that can also tilt vertically is a dealbreaker.
How to switch quickly from photo to video on that camera? I'm still using xt20 since 5 years, it has dial to switch between single photo, burst mode and video, in xt50 that dial is removed, instead we've got simulation dial - useless for me, I never change that in the camera and always shoot raw
Whoa - price so much higher than for its predecessors :-(
Fuji is slowly becoming the new Leica. $$$$
That film sim dial tho 🤦♂
Whether or not the film simulation dial is good for power users all depends on whether they save camera settings per-simulation, which would effectively make it double as a custom function dial, a feature normally reserved for high end bodies.
Oh?️ no: The new shape no longer corresponds to Fujifilm's tradition of beautiful retro cameras such as the X-T20 or the X-T30. Hand on heart: Who needs an extra bike for film simulations? This can be solved with the two previous models with the "Film Simulation Series" function. Plus: From aperture 4.0 onwards, the older lenses deliver the same good results... The X-T50 is therefore more suitable for trendy people who want to exhibit their pictures on social media. To each his own....
So expensive 😮
And its way overpriced
Entry level…..at a pro full frame price. More fujiexcuses.
My X-T20 leaves this thing for dust. The X-T20 gives me rapid one touch access to a range of functions via the D-Pad (film sims, recipes, ISO, focus point) and the drive dial (Bracketing, CL, CH), as well as stock stuff via fn buttons (SS, Aperture, Exposure Comp). Without the drive dial, D-Pad and ability to customise the film sim dial for recipes, I lose most of this one-touch functionality.
Meanwhile influencers masquerading as reviewers are wetting themselves over an unnecessary increase in megapixels. While studiously ignoring the significant reduction in functionality for enthusiastic JPEG shooters such as myself, who Fuji have kicked in the nuts and clearly have abandoned as a target customer group. And we are expected to swallow the lie that this is progress, whilst paying through the nose for the ‘privilege’.
First comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what did I win
