It’s exhausting to not really feel jealous as, one after the other, all my colleagues ditched their outdated cameras for Fujifilm our bodies. The beautiful retro styling, compact dimension and analog movie simulations are all causes to fall deeply in love with their fashions. To not point out, once you’re toting round a decade-old Olympus to occasions, the power to cost a digicam through USB-C makes me delirious.
Which is why I feel it’s time to hitch the gang, and I’m hoping somebody will carry me an X-T50 for the vacations. It’s the most recent entrant in Fujifilm’s middle-tier vary, with the high-end options I’m on the lookout for on a barely extra reasonably priced bundle. It carries the identical 40.2-megapixel sensor, 6K 30p video and in-body stabilization you’d discover on the high-end X-T5.
Fujifilm is aware of the goal marketplace for the X-T50 needs to make full use of these movie simulations and has added them to one of many high dials. If you happen to’re out and about, and wish to tweak how a picture seems to be, you may flip the wheel to see what seems to be greatest earlier than you begin snapping. I’m a giant fan of the bodily controls, too, somewhat than burying every thing in tedious digital submenus.
So, I borrowed an X-T50 for 2 weeks to see if the truth matched as much as all the hype each on-line, and with my colleagues. The training curve is fairly steep, and also you’ll have to rapidly marshal all the totally different controls to get issues working. There are nonetheless some key issues buried deep within the digital menus, like making certain the in-body OIS is all the time enabled.
However that’s the place the dangerous stuff ends, as a result of the photographs this factor produces are beautiful. I’ve taken some fairly spectacular portraits, panorama and structure pictures and I really feel like that is the digicam I ought to have began my images journey with. There’s a lot to regulate, and a lot to do, that you just really feel enormously enabled by what it has to supply. I’m holding my fingers crossed that Santa, or an itinerant billionaire, drops one off at my door this vacation season. — Daniel Cooper, Senior Reporter
