7 Reasons Why I'm Not Upgrading to Fujifilm XT50 from XT30II

[@milescherkasky9837]

I’m upgrading. I didn’t think 40mp was a good idea for a crop sensor but no one is saying that about the XT5. Upgrading for IBIS and extra resolution closer to my Canon R5s. This is my small stealth camera so don’t need all the features in the world. Just want to be unobtrusive with good IQ for stills. Would not consider this as a primary camera but the upgrades for the XT30II work for what and how I use it.

[@simonmaney3438]

Well said. As a Canon FF user I think the much smaller and lighter xt50 (with the new lens) is a remarkable camera. If I were looking at Fuji for a main camera, then probably the XT5 - and yeah, I don't hear many people grumbling about that camera.

[@bijosn]

same here , I think 40mp on a crop sensor is pushing the limits

[@StevanNetto-qg7gx]

I think you're right if money isn't a problem. I have the 26 and 40mp Fujis, and the denser sensor only shows some benefits with big sharp glasses like f/1.2 and f/1.4s. For me this upgrade is paying twice for having IBIS in practical terms, which doesn't make sense.

[@NelsonLovell]

Love your take. I feel if anyone is pressed to upgrade to the XT50 from the XT30II, it says more about the photographer than the camera. I shoot with an XT30II and it's such an elite little camera that gets the job done everytime, not to mention how fun it is.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

I would even go as far to state that the XT10/20/30 provide great bang for buck for those of us who are photography centric.

[@imalap]

Spot on! Am sticking with my X-T30II too. Even if I do decide to upgrade, it would be to an X-T5. Even better, invest all this money in real good quality third party lenses.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Couldn't agree more

[@r423fplip]

I have the xt5, and I'm getting the xt50. Can't wait to get it.

[@jimpap13]

I found the biggest upgrade on the XT-50 is the price, it sort of puts itself out the market between to XT-5

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Yeah the pricing actually makes it less competitive or appealing. XT20/30/II have become used bargains even new if you can find them they become bargains

[@flipindisticalproductions4736]

I love the XT50 for shooting video because it is so light and allows for quick set ups when shooting video. I am used to lugging around a Blackmagic Ursa Broadcast G2 so it's a welcome relief to use the XT50 for quicker/documentary/handheld stuff without being shaky at all. The battery life for video isn't that bad, but if you have 2 or 3 batteries for the day it shouldn't be an issue but this is normal with most cameras?? A lot of your points make sense from the point of view of someone that already has the XT30 and uses it for only photography purposes, not video. For me, the video capabilities of the XT50 was an important consideration and the 6k raw compatibility with Blackmagic raw was a big factor.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

You probably hit the nail on the head. I am a photography centric shooter and have long gone forfitted on more mp

[@juliette-mansour]

Hi, I'm new here and really appreciate this truthful bit of information. The biggest thing for me is 40 megapixels. No point to that and more of a burden. I also shoot micro four thirds and full frame. Each has its purpose as a tool. For me, Fujifilm represents fun - I can use it for some professional applications but mostly I'll use my Nikon. Olympus and Panasonic for me - low light, landscape/wildlife, etc. Right now the Fujifilm x-t30ii is my travel camera for street photography and I shoot manual for that, so I don't need all the AI, etc. Thank you Paul!

[@JaapKroon]

I recently bought the XT5 instead of the XT50. The price difference was € 185,00 (incl cashback). For that money a little bit more weight but a lot more futures.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Indeed, so true

[@ianforber]

I’ve bought a XT-50 as my first Fuji because I wanted a small camera with IBIS and analogue style controls. I have previously used Olympus m4/3 and hated it because of the user interface so moved to Leica - the Q2 and M11. I found I didn’t get on with the M11 even though the picture quality from the 60 MP sensor is astounding. I missed the IBIS from the Oly and the OIS of the Q2 goes some way but it’s not as good as I’d like. The Q2 will probably remain my main camera but the XT-50 will be used when a short telephoto zoom would be better. I’m still playing around with the new camera but I already know the battery life is rubbish!

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

M11 is a serious monster but has it limitations. Sadly my main point aside from the MP's on the XT50 was, how Fuji will make an average battery at best, work decently with ibis, AI and more MPs. Thank you for sharing

[@gripperharris]

hi, I have sold my xt30 mkI, and pre ordered the xt50. I already have an xt5 and an xs10, so the 40mpi are not a concern, as I have lived with it for a year. I don't really do much video, aside from the odd concert, and then I tend to use my samsung s24 ultra. I really wanted the form factor with the ibis, and whilst the xs10 has both those, I do love the quality of images I get out of my xt5. What worried me, the price was £1300, the dial confused me, but not a show stopper. However, I really wanted the ibis. The issue with the lenses, i really havent noticed it, I still use my 18-135mm and thats ok, most of my other lenses are in the "good" bracket (70-300mm 100-400, 50-140mm) or the new viltrox primes. The xt5 will be my wildlife and concert camera, and my xt50 my Edc, minor domestic event camera (ie dinners, but not 21st birthday or weddings) . So, although I share some of your concerns, I have gone for it, and given a year with my xt5, I'm not that worried.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Thank you very much for sharing the user experience! Highly appreciated and valued!

[@gripperharris]

I should have said I have arthritis in my fingers, so that was a major factor of wanting the ibis in that form factor. This was a major factor in my decision, as I love the xt 30 type style/size.

[@milescherkasky9837]

I'm in the same situation as you. Main cameras are full frame, big and heavy. Love them but not for an edc camera. Loved my Xt30 but the upgrades to the XT50 put it closer to my Canon R5s in capabilities. I won't feel so compromised when I take it out to shoot for fun. IBIS is a huge thing for me.

[@darekw1967]

In my case, I waited a long time for the X-T50 with a 40 MP sensor. For me, the most important things are compact size and the highest possible image quality. This sensor provides excellent image quality with high-resolution lenses.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Thanks for sharing, quick question. How is the battery life in general? AF no issues?

[@darekw1967]

@@PaulTakesPhotos The battery is small, but that’s a good thing because it allows the camera to be smaller. Plus, it uses the same battery format as the X-T10. As for the battery and its operating time, it largely depends on how many photos you take and how long you record videos. Whenever I go out to shoot, I always carry three batteries, and with one, I can take around 200 photos. If you’re recording longer videos, you can connect a power bank to the USB-C port. For me, power isn't an issue with the X-T50. As for the autofocus, there’s nothing to complain about-it accurately detects the eye during portrait sessions, and the system is precise. The stabilization works well, too.

[@lib747]

I understand the native sensor size, and I've heard the argument about the picture size being bigger. Can't I select a smaller image size in camera? I'm not making an argument for the 50. At the current price point, my choices are: an XT50 - a camera that I find too expensive, but about the right size, or an X-T5 a camera that's larger and heavier than I won't, but a better value. I won't buy either.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

You can obviously select smaller file sizes in basically any Fujifilm camera. I normally prefer investing in lenses (used) as cameras come and go (in my case)

[@zanakil]

like often in this industry you lose nothing by waiting until price drops enough. You'll always find an used one in mint condition.

[@brianmccloskey6451]

Paul- great straightforward and brutally honest take on this camera and objectively weighing the option many are considering/making in upgrading to the XT50. I always appreciate your measured and well informed opinions. I'm an older retired guy who recently sold all of my beautiful but impractical Canon DSLR cameras and lenses. Just too bulky, too heavy. I spend many months every year biking all over the world with several long distance adventure touring groups. Our gear is transported and we ride 50-100 miles a day over some challenging terrain. I wanted a more portable but versatile camera that could easily fit into a frame bag or handlebar bag and wouldn't turn my one travel bag that we're allowed into a heavy beast. (Can only have 50 pounds or less of gear in total and packed into one 70-100 liter duffel.) The X-T30ii with a couple of small, lightweight lenses seems ideal. I did consider the XT50 but at $1400 US it's a bit pricey. I can find a complete XT-30ii setup for that kind of money. I did consider the X-T5 as well as it has some wonderful features in a slightly bigger package.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Hi Brian, thank you for the positive feedback, goes a long way for me :) The XT30ii is great. One question when it comes to your cycling endeavours. The one thing I wish the XT30ii has, is weather sealing. Mostly because of dust and yes weight and size matters. I am turning 50 and have shifted over the yrs to lighter gear. And yes my Sony A7 III is still being used for low light and all day events :)

[@brianmccloskey6451]

@@PaulTakesPhotos -- my pleasure. It's so helpful to have this kind of honest feedback for both experienced and inexperienced users. I actually ventured over to one of the few remaining nearby camera stores so I could handle the X-T50. Honestly I came away more impressed with the X-T5. I just like the feel of that camera body better. That lead me to trying to find a well cared for but used X-T5. But they're extremely sought after apparently. In the process I started seeing earlier X-T models for pretty reasonable money. In fact someone local to me is selling their X-T2 with an XF18mm F2 lens for around $750. I may just purchase it and take it on some bike trips so I can get more familiar with this lineup. Plus at that price I can add a lens or two and have lots of versatility with room to grow into the camera. It seems like a no brainer honestly.

I'm after the X-T30ii. Coming from a sony system which I still want to keep. Need something for edc and street photography. Is the £500 extra worth it for the X-T50? Or should I get the X-T30ii 🤔

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

@@Levy.AlecPhotography there is no good answer here. I haven't upgraded to the XT50 for the following reasons 1. Don't need more megapixels 2. The AI features on the XT50 are not for me 3. I am photocentric so to be honest the XT30II is already a bit of overkill for me, as I don't use the video features Best advise I can give you is to try and rent/barrow both.

[@Levy.AlecPhotography]

@PaulTakesPhotos I had a play with the X-T30ii a couple of days ago in a camera shop and I really love it also the form factor. I had my old Sony a6300 a few years back whitout ibis and pictures were stunning, I don't shoot video. I'm thinking of that 40mp sensor as I like to crop my pictures. Is it a big difference in size as they didn't had one in the shop to compare.

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

@Levy.AlecPhotography I don't do video on these cameras and as a for more MPs to crop I normally change lenses and shoot a bit more narrow

[@jorghahn2903]

Thank you Paul! Very interesting. When you were talking about low light capability, did you really mean sensor size or pixel count? I find it hard to believe that for example the GFX sensor should have worse low light capabilities than a M43 sensor...

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Pixel density is one thing. I shot with a medium format Fuji and low light was the best I have ever shot. Cramming in more pixels into the same sensor size doesn't mean by default the low light is better. Pixel density plays are role and the AA filter play a role.

[@jorghahn2903]

@@PaulTakesPhotos Thank you Paul! I always thought that sensors with higher pixel density would have worse low light capabilities. 🤷‍♂️👍

[@simonmaney3438]

I think you already having the xs20 is a good enough reason not to upgrade because it gives you IBIS should you need it. On its own I think that really limits the usability of the xt30. I'm a longtime Canon FF user. The xt50 - and other Fuji cameras - are very compelling for their competitive image quality in a much smaller size and weight, but it is the new lens that really makes the xt50 a powerful combo.

[@allenschneider1847]

Which would you recommend between th xt50 and the xs20?

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

I normally would chose the XT50 mostly because of the form factor and operability. XS-20 has different physical design, 24mp sensor but the same AF as the XT50. Pricewise the difference (body only) is 200 bucks

[@JNM93]

Which would you pick? XT2 for £390 or XT30ii for around £700, strictly for photo.

Personally I had been considering the X-T50. The ONLY reason was for the IBIS. I do like the form factor, but then I also like that of my X-T10 and X-T1, so £1300 for IBIS and a slight change in appearance, seems pretty steep to me, especially when considering possible alternatives such as an X-S10 or 20, a used X-T4 or even an OM-5, which goes for so little money I can get a couple of nice primes to go with it too for the same money as an X-T50, but adds great weather sealing and useful things like focus stacking/bracketing and in-built ND filter.

Is the XT30 II a decent camera for video as well? I'm looking for an EDC camera that can be used casually for both photo and video, particularly for travel, street, and family photography and videography. However, I'm concerned about the lack of sensor or electronic stabilization. Isn't this a significant drawback for video use?

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

If you looking for video I wouldn't recommend the XT30II mainly due to lack of ibis and recording limits. Id suggest the xt4 or XS-20. Both excellent hybrid cameras with a bigger battery

[@neilmontgomery3470]

​@@PaulTakesPhotosIf you only take videos occasionally and have a stabilised lens such as the 18 to 55 kit lens the XT30 is fine for video. I personally do my videos with a phone these days and use the camera for stills, except if I have the camera out anyways.

[@lorenzoamato953]

What does it mean that this camera has a "bigger sensor" than the Xt30? More megapixels does not equal having a "bigger sensor". Ilisten and respect your opinions, but I think some aspects of this review need rethinking (plus: the focus of your video often shifts away from the main subject, especially when you put an object closer to the recording camera. Again: I respect your opinions, especially when you harp about older cameras, but maybe there is some technical issue that could be addressed by paying more attention to the specifics and strenghts of the newer cameras, being AF one of them?)

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

Hey, thanks for commenting and sharing your feedback. By bigger sensor I actually mean more pixels.in the same format. I didn't articulate it well. Point taken. As for the AF it is on the XS-20 fully AI enabled and for some reason either choosing facial or product mode it does this. Still figuring out why once I do... Episode coming up. This episode was purely my opinion why I am not upgrading this time or anytime soon. The XS20 is a cross between the xt4 sensor and the xt5 processor and AI. I'll follow the XT50 in the coming year to see how it fares and also curious about Fujifilm future lens releases.

[@gregoire8376]

As a casual photographer / medium experienced Nikon owner (my gear needs an overhaul), if I now want to jump into the Fuji world (because Nikon seems far behind for casual shooters), would an X-T30ii or X-T50 be better into the future?

I think fuji are in danger of losing the plot. 40mp for the amateur body (ie x-tx0) is crazy (i) youll probably need to buy a new pc to hold the huge file size(ii) if youve already got some fuji lens (and youve got the smaller body) there will be a good chance your lenses cant resolve that big sensor so you may well need to fork out for some new lenses that can. Price x-t50 £1300, x-t5 £1600; x-t30 when launched was about £1,000, x-t3 around £1,500 (all figures approx) so price of the smaller body was affordable and a big jump to the bigger body. Not so now so why buy x-t50? Might as well get x-t5. Before a clear difference, two choices. As an aside having had an X-t20 for several years and recently moved to an x-t2, my personal opinion is that (i) forget the size difference, the x-t2 is not that big (ii) having d-pad AND focus stick on the larger body is really really useful, (iii) dedicated iso dial on larger body is as for (ii). Both of these allow you to cut down menu & non-top plate dial usage by a huge amount for a much more enjoyable user experience. Not to mention dual card, weather sealing, build quality. (Just to advise, i dont really shoot video on my camera). So do yourself a favour and buy a used x-t2 or x-t3.

@@VinceDae still Not true. My Full Frame a7m1 has much worse low light performance than my X-T4…. Even though the sensor is bigger on the a7. More sensor surface „tends“ to deliver better low light performance in comparison to a reasonable equal good sensor of smaller size. But that is not a solid calculable fact,… Also, the newer sensor in the x-t50 might even yield better low light results than the older x-t30 sensor just because it is newer, more advanced hardware. That every pixel yields less light due to smaller size does not mean it performs worse if the hardware is fundamentally different. If you compare same size and generation hardware sensors - 12mp and 24mp (Sony a74 vs ZV-E1) than you see the outcome you expect. Less mp - better low light performance due to bigger pixels. Same goes for sensor size. Current state of the art FF sensor tends to perform better than same mp state of the art apps-C.

@@alltagsvlog it’s crazy how you can be this wrong and still think you’re right. Ofc an older full frame sensor will have disadvantages to a WAY newer APS-C, but that’s not about the sensor and more about the tech. Fact is that if you take the same gen sensor with equal amounts of MP, the FF will always outperform the APS-C, that’s just simple psychics …. Photons don’t care about your feelings man…

@@VinceDae read carefully - your argument is exactly identical to what I’ve claimed! If the tech is identical - the size matters. But in real life that is not always the case. Hence why I say that it is wrong to „always“ just assume that the bigger sensor will have the better performance. It depends heavily on the sensor. I also gave the fitting examples with different FF and APS-C sensors I own and know and have compared to each other.
