Been waiting nearly a year for this! And typically just bought something expensive (not camera related), which makes it very hard to push the preorder button. Arggghhh Fujifilm, why! Off to see what I can do - Thanks for the video, it was spot on.
Thanks for watching and ahh it's always annoying when that happens. I hope you're having as fun with your other expensive purchase as we did with the new kit :)
You are right, it was a bit of a wet and drizzly day. I wasn't too concerned about the rain as both myself and the camera weren't getting soaked and it appears to have held up well in the rain whilst I was shooting. I think it's a case of just taking care and sheltering as best you can.
Thanks for watching and yes you can set the small custom button on top to start/stop recording, it is located on the top panel, far right, just by the on/off switch.
Thanks for watching and yes you are correct, the camera isn't weather-sealed, so it's best to be careful when using it outdoors. Fortunately, on the day we got to try it out, there was only a small amount of rain. The most challenging situation was when we were photographing the rhinos and there was some shelter from the trees, but the camera still got rained on. Despite that, it continued to perform perfectly.
Seems pretty pointless. The size and weight is not much less than the X-T5. The EVF is pretty terrible. The battery is way worse. You only have one SD card. The shooting speed is less. It is a lot harder to switch between Movie and Video. You lose the D-PAD - and the list goes on. In the UK - the difference is 250 - so I would just wait a bit. This is a weird value proposition.
Thanks for watching and all vaild points. For some users the X-T5 might be more than they require for their style of shooting so it's pretty great to have the X-T50 as a possible option which still allows you to shoot using Fujifilm's 40.2MP High Res Sensor and X-Processor 5. The movie switch I personal missed, but you can set the small custom button on top to start/stop recording, it is located on the top panel, far right, just by the on/off switch.
So I guess all cameras that are smaller, have less resolution, are slower and also heavier are pointless then. Not everyone needs a powerhouse, and if you do, maybe you need a Hasselblad or similar and the X-T5 is a toy. All is relative to what you are using it for. Some may love the styling more, or the film simulation knob or just can't afford the more expensive camera. Seems like the x-t5 suits you better. I would not get that over the x-t50 tho. I do not need two sd card slots and I do not like the styling as much as the 50. There are loads of different cameras, phones and cars just to please as many peoples needs and desires as possible. Just a thought. 👍🏻
@@ChristianEriksson83 Indeed the attitude of some that you should just get the X-T5 is odd. Comments under every X-T50 video are the same, oh it is only "this" much bigger and "this" much heavier etc. I would never buy the X-T5 as it feels more bulky in my hand, it defeats the point of that I want. What is it that people don't understand about this very simple point?
Excellent video 😊!
Thanks for watching; we're pleased you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the overview. It looked like it was raining, were you concerned about the lack of weather sealing? Or will it hold up to a shower or two?

X-T50 + XF 150-600mm!
Saying that it'd be a very rare combination would be an understatement. lol 😆
Can you set one of the buttons to switch between camera and video?

The camera isnt weather sealed right? How were you able to shoot in the rain?

nice video
Don’t get it. Add $300 more and get a X-T5.
no
I’d rather get this tbh
