Brrrmph posted:Body only it’s $500 more than the X-T30ii. That’s ridiculous. I love Fuji but the X100 series success may have gone to their heads. A FF Nikon Z6ii is less than $100 more on B&H. With the R&D being so low for it and most the parts being robbed Xt5 ones, they probably guess they can risk it. Doesn't sell? Knock off a few hundred in 6 months.

With the 40MP sensor, and the film simulation dial replacing the ISO dial, it looks like the X-T50 is being positioned as an X100 alternative for those interested in changing lenses. The big MP number might also help in marketing against the entry-level full-frame offerings from Canikony, and the current crop of 40MP+ smartphones There's still room for an X-T300 with the 26MP sensor to be the retro twin to the X-S20, and to occupy the space where the X-T30 II lived

I don't get it at all, weather sealing alone is worth the extra $300. Oh well if it keeps tiktok busy and prevents Fuji from loving with the X-T6 (please god don't go completely insane because of the X100) it's fine.

I'm not tempted by the X-T50 at all but a film simulation dial seems like a bridge too far. New lens looks nice, I might get an X-T5 with it when I finally make the leap to interchangeable lenses.

Fuji watched one too many YouTube vloggers getting wet over their film sims and decided the only logical choice was to build a camera around that.

The idea of being able to switch film sims without menu diving is good but it doesn't need its own dial. Make it something you can set one of the buttons/dials to do. And include the custom sims since I use those most of the time. And also a way to reset everything to zero without having to burn one of your custom sims on it.

You can already set any of the little wheels/dials (at least on the X100V) to scroll between film simulations. The dial itself also only controls the base simulation used; it feels like it would be way more useful if it could be set to scroll between profiles.

I do have a Q menu set up for my custom film sims and that's easy to navigate. Still going to complain there's no way to reset all the jpeg stuff to zero unless you use a custom sim for it, and for whatever reason you only get seven of those on a T4.

Honestly, it’s dumb pricing. But if it keeps people off the pro stock, I’m fine. I keep an x-t30ii as a backup. It’ll never be my primary camera though. I’ll wait a while till the X-T6 comes out and buy a used 5 for $1000.

On the X-T20, I have the film sims on one of the four D-pad buttons, and that has never felt insufficient or buried out of reach. Guess I’ll just save a few more pennies and go for the X-T5.

Wikipedia tells me that the X-T3, 4, and 5 were all released 2 years apart, and that the 5 will be two years old this fall. I've got a partially-functional X-T2 that I was hoping to replace with an X-T5 when the X-T6 releases and used prices drop a bit. Is there any reason to believe the announcement of the X-T50 means the X-T6 won't be coming out this year?

If you want to predict by previous release dates, it looks like an X-T$0 model has never been released in the same year as a new X-T$ model. To release 2 such similar cameras in the same year, I imagine a theoretical X-T6 would have to do something fairly special, especially seeing as the X-T50 has taken on flagship features like 40MP and IBIS. Who knows though, if anyone has the market clout to pull it off, it’s Fuji.

I think Covid messed up that cycle and the X-T5 is here until at least fall of 2025, imo. I think next year we’ll get the X-E5 and X-Pro4, but what do I know.

I kinda like the idea of cheap tiny manual focus lenses on a mirrorless cameras with good focus peeking I'm not sure I get the point of a compact full frame setup that captures less light than a 1" RX100 and doesn't really fit in your pocket It's not even that much smaller than Canon's 28mm 2.8 pancake

There are already so many superior ~$200 manual focus lenses that can be adapted onto l-mount in this world. Making that lens honestly just seems wasteful at best.

They're literally giving away the dumb f8 lens with body-only pre-orders, so I imagine it's just a cheap way to make it functional if for some strange reason you don't want the package with the 20-60mm lens.

Olympus has that 9mm f/8 fisheye bodycap lens thing too. I think if it's mainly a throw in I'd rather have this but I'd pay for neither. Are you all actually using distance scales with your manual focus lenses on camera with live view? I guess I do want them to be good an accurate on cinema lenses when I'm pulling focus, but for stills I've rarely even glanced at them with my ZF lenses.

The Q autofocus sucks so it's nice to have the photo take when I press the drat shutter button instead of hunting for AF and never taking the shot.

I love the idea of the distance/dof scales, but I'm so bad at estimating distances. I guess if I practiced a lot with photography, it could help me with that, but I'd have so many missed shots. It is kinda nice to set up that hyperfocal distance if you're not shooting close and go hog wild.

Fuji repair got back to me with a frankly ridiculous quote to repair my broken LCD screen, so I went ahead and ordered an X-T5. Protip: you can buy replacement LCD screens for these cameras on eBay for very little money, and there are videos on youtube showing you how swap a new screen in for a broken one, but I do not recommend trying it because there's a very high risk you'll make it all worse

For what it's worth, the XT-5 is an absurdly good camera. It fixed a lot of annoyances photographers had from the XT-4 (flip screen etc) that will make it a relevant camera for way longer than the interlude between 3/4/5, because, trust me, Fuji will manage to gently caress up the XT6/7/etc somehow because they hate money.

Same, I have a Lomo LCA (scale focus 35mm film camera) and I have more missed shots than I’d care to admit. It doesn’t help you can’t set the aperture, so you’re at the mercy of its 1980s Soviet pea-brain.
