FUJIFILM X-T50 Mirrorless Camera Body, w/ XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens Kit, Black

UPDATE: After owning and using this camera for a month, here is my updated review. I agree with some others that the placement of the SD card is poorly designed. It is a pain to try and remove the card without using the internal spring to jettison it across the room. It is NOT a good beginner's camera. Can be challenging to use the more advanced settings and the film simulations are great, but adding "recipes" is tricky. When you change the settings for recipes, it alters all the other simulations as well as "normal" settings. Such as, if you +2 the contrast in a recipe, it +2 the contrast in ALL settings! I had to research this to find why my photos suddenly looked way too contrasty and losing detail. (You can only use the film simulations in jpeg, not raw). Also, the 40MP censor uses a LOT of room and slows down uploading photos depending on settings and the computer/tablet you are using. Honestly, you don't need 40MP. Another issue I've found is the appearance; for street photography, it gathers WAY too much attention. I have never had people asking me what newspaper I'm with or ducking out of shots with any other camera; not even my Sony A7ii. It is NOT covert at all. May have to figure out how to disguise it and "dress it down," unfortunately as I love the look of it. If you plan on buying this for street, suggest you get the solid black model (I got the black/silver). If I had to do it again... I think I may have saved about a grand and gone with a lightly used black Olympus OM-D E-M5 with Leica lens. Am I going to keep this? Probably as I've invested in a lot of add-ons. It's not a bad camera, just a learning curve if you are using a different brand or an older, simpler camera like a DSLR with lots of external controls. When frustrated, I go back to using my simpler Micro 4/3 or Nikon D80. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This camera is a JOY to use! After returning a Sony ZV-1 I bought to use as a carry-along street camera, though it took nice photos, the nightmare of using it with tiny buttons and endless menu scrolling was miserable. The Fuji also produces more realistic colors and with the variety of film simulations, is just a fun and yet incredible camera to use. Combined with the Viltrox 25mm f1.7 lens, this has transitioned my street photography to a whole new level. I was using my very capable Sony A7ii for a bit, but the colors were meh, and it was big and heavy compared to the Fujifilm. And although the Sony has a full sized sensor, I think the Fuji is actually even sharper! Can't say enough good things about this camera... yeah, it's not cheap, but you are getting a long-term keeper.

I bought this from an “acceptable” Warehouse Deal but the camera was basically like new. It’s a fun camera.

I just love this camera. For a while I have been using a Sony A7R. I got great images, but I started to have problems with weight due to arthritis in my wrist. I decided to step down a level of sensor size, to get a weight low enough that I would never hesitate to bring it with me. I also initially bought the XT5, but found that it was significantly heavier than the XT50, so I returned that one. The XT50 is a surprisingly good fit to my hands, despite me having really big hands. The raise thumb holder gives me leverage to hold the camera easily. So far, I've gotten great images, probably slightly less great than the Sony Full Frame, but close enough that it is easily worth the trade. I was also initially worried that the small joystick would be limiting, but I've found it works very well. I wish the XT50 was weather sealed, but I'm OK to give that up for the weight. The controls are really well-laid out (my first time with a Fuji, so maybe they are all good in this way). It's nice to have a way to rate my pics in camera (the Sony has that, but I didn't expect it in this Fuji). I'm happy with this lens, which was a great deal if bought with the body -- it is likely not as good as the Pro equivalent, but the Pro just adds too much weight. All in all, I'm thrilled. Back to having my camera with me all the time.

Right out of the gate, let me say that this is truly a fantastic camera. I am blown away how nice it is, especially considering this is just an upgrade for me from the X-T30. There is a whole lot to like here, from the IBIS to the new film simulation dial, higher MP sensor and higher resolution video are just to name the highlights. But I'd also like to focus on the usability of holding this camera a bit. Right away this feels good in the hands. With my X-T30 I always felt it was just too small to hold onto. Here, they added a bigger grip which makes a significant difference in my enjoyment when holding it. Couple that with the familiar setup that we've come to know on the TX0 line (and X-T line in general), I felt comfortable hitting the ground running with this. I was a bit concerned that this wouldn't feel like a big upgrade over the X-T30, but wow - it really does! I use all the new features, and that extra MP really help get the "WOW" factor in cropping my images. I'm so impressed here - there is just so much to like!

Love my fujifilm. Still havent tried to video anything but I've got some great pictures of of this
