Introduction

The Fujifilm X-T50 is a new mid-range APS-C sensor mirrorless camera which was first announced in May 2024 and released in June 2024. It is the successor to the three-year-old X-T30 II model which will continue to be sold in the range for the forseeable future. The XT50 features exactly the same 40 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-processor 5 as the flagship X-T5 and X-H2 models, and therefore provides the same image quality and auto-focus performance/features. The X-T50 can automatically detect animals, birds, cars, bikes, planes and trains thanks to the X-Processor 5’s AI deep learning capabilities. IBIS is included for the first time on an X-Txx series camera, delivering up to 7 stops of in-body image stabilisation. There’s also a dedicated Film Simulation dial that replaces the drive mode dial, another first for the X-Txx series, which provides quick access to selected simulations plus three user modes. Featuring a new rounded design, the X-T50 is bigger and heavier than the previous X-T30 II, but is smaller and lighter than the flagship X-T5. The XT50 can record 6K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit video internally to its single SD card slot with 13+ stops of dynamic range, but it does offer more limited recording times than the X-T5 – 60 minutes in 4K/30p and 30 minutes in 4K/60p. Other key features include 8fps burst shooting, 20% better battery life than the previous X-T30 II model, a 2-way tilting LCD screen that sits flush with the body, a pop-up flash, and an ultra-fast electronic shutter that is capable of exposures up to 1/180000sec. The Fujifilm X-T50 is is available in three different colours – Black, Silver and Charcoal Silver – priced at £1299 / $1399 / €1499 body only, £1399 / $1499 / €1599 with the 15-45mm kit lens, and £1649 / $1799 / €1899 with the new 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR kit lens. The XT50 is manufactured in China.
