General

About This Camera

The Fujifilm X-T50 is a mirrorless camera released in 2024, built around the Fujifilm X mount. Its APS-C sensor carries 40.2 megapixels, so still-image detail is a defining trait.

At 438 grams it is a light camera that packs easily into a small bag and stays comfortable on the shoulder.

It also records 6.2K video, so photographers who mix stills and footage get strong capability in both. Framing is handled by an electronic viewfinder, which shows the scene as the sensor sees it.

Video

About the Video

6.2K recording at up to 29.97 frames per second is the headline video mode. At 6240 x 3510 the footage holds texture well enough to crop or reframe a shot in editing while keeping detail.

Two 4K modes handle everyday projects. DCI 4K and UHD both run at up to 59.94 frames per second, so normal delivery and faster motion are covered.

Full HD reaches 120 frames per second, which suits slow-motion work without pushing the sensor's top resolution.

Colour is recorded at 4:2:2 10-bit, and F-Log2 captures 13 or more stops of dynamic range. That gives real headroom to recover highlights and shadows, and to set the final look in post rather than in camera.

Optics

About the Optics

The 40.2-megapixel APS-C sensor is the core of the stills experience. That resolution leaves room to crop a frame hard and still print at normal sizes, so there is leeway to tighten a composition after capture.

The digital teleconverter builds on that headroom. It offers 1.4x and 2x settings that extend the reach of the mounted lens, useful when a subject sits just outside comfortable framing distance. Because each file starts at 40.2 megapixels, the extra reach still leaves resolution for everyday output.

Framing runs through an electronic viewfinder. It shows the image straight from the sensor, so exposure and colour can be judged before the shutter fires rather than checked after the fact.

Lenses come from the Fujifilm X mount, so any X-series glass you already own or add later fits directly.

The viewfinder type is either electronic or optical. Electronic viewfinders will have a small screen in the viewfinder. Optical viewfinders will use prisms and mirrors to look through the lens.

The lens mount will tell you what type of lens range you can fit onto the camera body. Often the same camera company will have different lens ranges for different cameras.
