Being able to grip a small camera is important, so the first thing I added was the Small rig L plate grip, with the small to medium size prime lens it works great, once you put a zoom lens like a 16-80 f4 that takes a 72mm filter, the length of the lens is not a problem with the camera but because the camera is not as long as the XT5, the space between the lens and the Small rig grip is not wide enough to get your fingers in,once you take the grip off then you don't have any problem, but because the body is thin you have to hold the camera by the lens. I then purchased the Small rig leather half case for the XT50, it comes with a strap that is about the length of the strap that comes with the camera, i rather use the Peak Designed strap, i have the gray color, thin strap called the leash. The case provides protection and on the bottom of the case is a gray plate that is the same color as the gray color option of the camera. The case is form fitted and not to thick, the bottom plate makes the camera slightly taller and it's just enough to give you room for your pinky to rest. The case is easy to attach as it has a screw that goes into the tripod on the bottom of the camera. When I want to use the camera for regular every day shooting, it will stay in the case, the texture of the case makes it easier to hold and when I use the camera on a tripod i will use the grip with the built-in tripod mount. I purchased the Small rig case from Amazon as the price is the same but it ships faster than getting it directly from SMALL RIG website.
I value your opinions so am glad to hear you have come to these conclusions regarding the x-t50, because I like the small size of my x-t30 and want to feel that the smaller cameras aren’t cut-rate knock-offs of the x-t5 etc. but instead are thoughtfully designed to serve their audience. And btw your photos are gorgeous !
Thank you
A lot of people say that the price of the XT50 is high, but, I have been involved in digital photography for 16 years, i started with Pentax DSLR'S and back then the price compared to the rest of the cameras was much lower, as people wanted better spec's the price of the camera rose. Today people expect a camera to be able to do so much that they forget that it comes with a price, they also want a selection of compact cameras and you can only make a camera so small and so cheap. I have a Nikon ZFc and the Fujifilm XT 5o, both small cameras, the Zfc was around 1000 dollars when released , the build of the XT50 is so much better than the Nikon and has much better spec's, even though the Nikon is cheaper i would sell it and keep the Fujifilm XT 50.
the film dial in combination with custom setting are interesting.
The custom settings can be made to work with many of the recepies
this is an interesting touch to it.
some examples
c1 flat portra like
c2 day light
C3 3200 kelvin
C4 high contrast
c5 low contrast
c6 much grain
c7 4x5 aspect ratio
WOW, thank you very much for these ideas!
@@Tudor_Mateescu personally i have started to set up my camera more like this recently
I have come to the realization that there is no reason for me to have any recipe since im a raw shooter and some recipes adds an small extra step in my editing removing the effect that the recipe have on the rawfile meta data ofen leading to WB and tint values beeing off.
Therefore my custum settings are tailord to look less stylized but still look great when i have tp pull an jpge to my phone.
I’m disappointed with the lack of weather sealing and battery but then I remembered that I’ve shot landscapes in the UK for many years (film and digital) without any formal IP rating. If my camera was on a tripod in heavy rain, I’d just protect it with a cloth. I wonder if manufacturers are just using it as a marketing tool rather than it being important. Camera can be charged from the USB port so that at least helps a bit.
I have had my X-T50 for just over a month and love it. I had the X-S20 but felt frustrated with the flip screen and AF. I am glad I made the switch. This camera has better AF and I love the tilt screen compared to the flip. Also I love the digital zoom. Use it way more than I expected. A firmware update was just released, but now I am afraid to upgrade it. Has anyone tried the new firmware?
I'm thinking to exchange my XT5 for this one or wait for the rumoured XM5 to get even smaller. I don't use all the features of the XT5 for my shooting style. The only thing I don't like on XT50 is the price and maybe the old battery but it's not deal breaker. For the film dial, people complain but neither te XE and X100 lines have an left dial and people use the drive button without problems. Same thing if you don't like 40megapixels, use the medium jpeg file size or Heif. On the FILM dial place to C, I heard that you can assign the back dial to select your customs recipes...
@@DA-yd2nydon’t you realize, the more cameras you have the better your photographs.
@@DA-yd2ny Always! Even at the grocery, I have Food Acquisition Syndrome 🤣. With cameras, if one comes in, one go out, I only keep 2 at the same time. I got a really good deal on marketplace for my XT5, I really like it, but I realize that I want to downsize my equipment for my style of shooting. ✌
Great review 🎉
Thank you for this video. What about comparing this XT50 with XT30ii?
And for the ones who are in a budget, Xt1 is a great alternative. It still takes great photos even if it is 10 years old. The weight is the same, it is weather sealed (if you have appropriate glass) and just slightly bigger body. And if you want more modern gear, an advice... buy all your gear used! Your wallet will be happy! :-)
Although you should keep in mind that AF is archaic in comparison.
As a XH2s user for windsurf, I am often at the sea and I receive sometimes waves and rain on the camera and I had never a problem with the WR of Fujifilm, you can thrust in the power of the fuji WR 😜👍
WOW, very cool. That is assuring. Thanks for sharing! :D
Hello Tudor! I would like to ask you, which firmware you have on your XT50? You have said, that you don’t want to update the firmware because it might have an autofocus that’s not as good as it is now. I have ordered an XT50 today and I will probably get it tomorrow. Your video encouraged me to test the XT50 and check if it is better than my X100VI.
Firmware 1.0 for the moment... But the latest induce some bugs on the silver ones, but now they say it's ok on all. I'll wait and see.
@@Tudor_Mateescu thank you, my X-T50 arrived today and I’m comparing it to my OM5. They are very close, I think the Ibis in OM5 is noticeable better than X-T50. But I prefer the tilting screen on X-T50. Otherwise the OM5 is very capable… decisions decisions
@@Sunkissed1968 x-t50 40mp + film recipes :)
In Australia for only a fraction more you can buy the X-T5. The X-T50 doesn’t make sense for the price.
Size and weight is the difference for me. The X-T5 feels chunky in comparison.
@@JackBurton-qp4hc in 2019 I had a SD card failure while in Florence on my X-T2 but being duel card slots I at least had my backup. So dual card slots is near the top of must haves for me.
@@palamj2
I have mine sent to my phone.
But if you use bigger and heavier lenses on the X-T50 it gets unwieldy pretty quick.
It really depends what you are looking for.
Hi ! I totally agree with you. What red soft button do you use ? I tried the JJC but can't use it with the small o-ring provided with the JJC.
I have a small rig button that is very good but also hyperyons buttons are good too lyp.ro/hyperion
That XT 50 seems really interesting but the eye relief is bad, far away from the XT5 or even the XT30. Many photographers are wearing glasses…
Good point
I've been disappointed with the X-T50. I reselled it after 2 weeks of use. Not what I expected.
May be I should have kept it if it were, let's say, $300 less. I prefer my X-T30 II with a new lens added to my gear.
How do you like the Pergear lens on the xt50? I was thinking of grabbing that one for the price.
It's a fun lens... for sure can't be the only one but for the IQ, aperture and size it's great. Here is my video review here th-cam.com/video/gBMY1GtDYEY/w-d-xo.html
and here the blog review with images: tudormateescu.com/pergear-25mm-f1-7-review-on-fujifilm-x-t5-and-x-t30-ii/
@Tudor_Mateescu thank you! At the moment my lenses are the new 16 to 50 kit lens and the x mount 30mm 2.8 micro. I love that lens. But was looking at something that had this slimmer profile. Thanks again for the response and the great content
No weather sealing is unforgivable.
And single card slot!
@@palamj2 less bothered about that but it might matter to some, in the UK it rains most of time and is just lazy from Fuji.
Weather sealing is one of the differentiators between models. It is not lazy, it is intentional.
@@JackBurton-qp4hc on a £1300 body only camera without weather sealing, no thanks, poor value.
@@willgreig8912
If weather sealing it of primary concern then get the XT-5. That is the point.
I didn't know about the Eye tracking update how does that work
It's working like on Nikon Z6II. You set a custom vertical zone, a line of 5 squares - and it will look for the eye just where you point the zone not on the entire image. So it's working faster and precise - it's not hunting or searching all over the place. This setting is working just with custom zones - and you have 3 of them. I will show in another video a broll with it.
Ty Tudor your channel is one of the greats... this detail you mentioned no one ever talked about. Im telling you are the goat... NOOOW
If you have only one camera don't buy this.
X-E5 coming soon
any idea how long we have to wait?
No more X-Ex model!
The noise within its ISO ranges is very very high. Otherwise I would have considered it seriously. I am looking for a camera where the noise performance is good and a smaller interchangeable lens camera. I either use flash for photography indoors or no flash and higher iso outside street photography. Really atrocious noise performance. I have not used the camera but I know its the same sensor as the XH2 and XT5, I have checked their noise performance on photons to photons website. It would ruin the photos at higher ISO.
I would have been happier if they had left the camera at 24 megapixels and instead worked on noise suppression. And I don't mean software within suppressing noise but instead the camera natively producing lower noise level raw files. I honestly don't care about the film simulations, I don't use them, I understand most Fujifilm users think of them as a great thing, that is good. Personally I just want a camera producing high raw quality files. I know I am in a minority, but just my personal thoughts.
I have a Ricoh GR III which has a 24 mp sensor, and the X-T5 sensor does a better job, even though the GR III is pretty amazing.
@@kalistratov_photos
Very interesting, i might try to check the files online somewhere. Just from the data on the Photons to photons website, it is showing very very high noise, especially for a modern sensor. But maybe the real world results are not so bad. I will need to check. Thank you for letting me here.
@@dalvinderbasi3495 you might overestimate the importance of noise for the real world use. I would care about the iso only for portrait work. And the x-t5 has the lowest iso for that - 125. When I shoot street, I go with f11-16 and ss 1/500-1/1000. You can imagine the iso numbers with that, but the images work just fine!
When I shoot wildlife with the 150-600 lens, and I have to stop down to f11-16 to keep more than 1 bird in focus, the iso numbers get really high, and denoising it with DXO PureRaw completely fixes it. In fact, the DXO is just an advanced sensor reader rather than an Ai tool, and it works like magic.
@@kalistratov_photos
Yes Pure Raw from Exo is fantastic. It is just another expense, also extra work. But it is interesting how you mentioned the noise is better than the Ricoh GR iii
@@dalvinderbasi3495 I didn't say that. I didn't make any precise comparison of the noise level. I just like files from the x-t5 more, they have more detail and they're more "3D". I think it's the resolution which has its role. I agree with the reviewers who say that 40mp isn't so important, but it's definitely a very very nice thing to have.
just sold my xe3 and waiting for xe5..afraid you are gonna me buy this xt 50😯
I started to be a big fan of the x-t50 line up :))
Ayyy Tudor, you're an excellent salesman! Like you, I love small cameras. I have small hands and for street photography I need the camera to "go away"... dissolve with my eye. The Ricoh GR gave me sweet images at the beginning but the camera's issues with dust and the retractable lens over time was too much for me. I wasn't into snap focus either. Great little camera for a small niche, but no longer for me. Enter the x-t30ii and I have created nice images over the years but I'm outgrowing it. It's such a good little camera though that I've been holding off on the x-t50. I don't use film recipes - I cannot get away from shooting raw... and I don't want 40 megapixels all the time. However, you gave some really good points here and maybe this is going to be the replacement for my Fuji x-t30ii. I'll let you know in a future comment.
Thank you 😁🙏 X-T50 is really a great camera, it's easy to be praised...
There are bad cameras good cameras and great cameras but there is no perfect camera
