Doesnât the 1.4x make the 500mm a 700mm, not 900?
Looking forward to getting the 100s ii ..beast
Awesome vid! Great info as always
Brilliant vid. Nothing quite like P2T for detail. Thank you
Thx for the video. What a behemoth of a combination that lens and the gfx body!
Thank you for this Information. Cannot wait your review on X-T50. Thank you thank you
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing another great video.
Awesome video, Chris!
Wow, I was just screaming out as I saw the new 500mm. Would be so nice to test it! I love that you're going to review it! Thx :) :)
Film sim dial is an odd choice. Maybe if they saved your favorite settings also under that sim. But how often do I shoot using a base sim with no additional settings augmented? Probably never.
Agreed. extremely pointless if you use recipes.
Really shows that Fuji is out of touch with it's users. It's not the sims people go crazy for. It's recipes.
@@LJ.613 I disagree. I think that''s great business move. Fuji is mostly popular in insta/aristic crowds that like old "film look".
The lack of more options is disappointing, but the dial itself will be popular in more "amateur" crowds that don't really care about spec.
@@MrDarkoiV their new popularity is among gen Z kids doing film recipes. The dial doesn't support film recipes and the insane price markup doesn't support gen Z. 5% price increase from XT2 to XT5, 85% price increase from XT20 to XT50
Fuji shooters: - How did you come up with the idea for replacing the function dial for a film simulations dial?
Fuji: Ah, we ran a pool on tiktok
Well the price of the X-T50 is just crazy.
Less than the x100 though đ
For 40 megapixels itâs really good especially for the autofocus features
For the price of the X-50, one would be better off just getting the X-T5, especially since the X-T50 uses the older batteries. I never want to shoot with these batteries again.
@@JustSenix The AF still sucks tho..
@@Tom4ick fr? I thought the af tracking was rlly good on the newer models?
Very nice. But what is it good for if these are not available?
Hello Cris!!! Have you tested the 18-120 f4 from Fujifilm yet???
It's this simple, I'll be changing the ISO a lot more than simulations. Besides, raw doesn't apply, and raw in video is a preferred professional choice. Everything can be done in post. You ever try to work on a jpeg shot in Velvia mode and get some detail in the shadows again?
Did they finally move the tripod mount to the middle?? You can finally put a tripod thingy without it blocking the battery door??
Hi do you know how to change DAT file destination on Fujis firmware update site I accidentally pressed PS file so I canât send updates to SD card for my xt4 , it just opens up photoshop, any help would be grateful, oh & keep up excellent work, From Scotland thanks
I was wondering is there a site where i can compare the XT4 vs XT50?
Does this 500 mm give an idea of the futur tele prime for the Apsc family?
Nice lens flip at 11:25..!
I'm a little disappointed that Fuji is not making faster zoom lenses. In low light, this f/4.8 can be a bit too dark. I would even accept a larger and heavier lens than the newly released 16-50mm. I'm dreaming of a zoom lens like an 18-55mm or 16-35mm with an aperture starting from f/2 or something similar. We have to keep juggling prime lenses :P
With the X-T50, the most valuable features for me are IBIS and 4K60. These are game-changers for video and for non-stabilized lenses. The price is relatively high, but what doesn't get more expensive these days...
Very good litle camera, the X-T50. But it have 2 major dealbreakers for me:
- The custom positions on the film dial not being able to store film recipes is a HUGE mistake from Fuji.
- The price. I know it is a totally different "philosophy" camera, but is almost the same price of the Canon R7 - that have weather sealing, an arguably better AF, larger battery, dual card slot, dedicated headphone dial...
And with Sigma entering the RF lenses arena, the lack of lenses is greatly diminished - my Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 is almost glued to my X-S20, and now it will have an RF-S version.
Agreed. Honestly if you don't need the 40mp just get the xs20: cheaper, better battery, faster performance, fully articulating screen, I think it's smaller as well
@@BobIzam I have the X-S20, love it. But waiting for the X-E5...
@@MarcioK yeah same, I had the xe3 and was really hoping the xe5 would come this year... But i don't think it'll come for at least another 1-3 years. So I just got an xs20 instead
@@MarcioK It may be a long wait.

More gear? Yes please!
How is the shutter speed dial combining the ISO dial? News to me and I cannot see from the picture how this would be. Can you explain it a bit more please?
would you think that the new fujinon 500mm not suitable for the older gfx 100s
At the 3:00 timestamp, the video mentions an ISO/shutter combined dial. Is this correct? Would that dial also permit the alteration of the ISO settings? If so, how is this achieved? Additionally, I am interested in comparing this camera with the X-S20, particularly regarding the autofocus capabilities.
I don't have the camera, but yes the downloaded manual, and it seems that, no, this button is not combined. Only shutter speed.
Sorry but this is about the XT5 not the new camera. I find that when I set the level setting to 2d it switches to 3D, nit what I want. is there a way to correct this?- Thanks inh advance.
How does the Image quality on the new 16-50 compare to the 16-55 2.8?
Brother what kind of question is that⊠itâs not a red badge. It replaced the 18-55
@@rvpcqp what separates the red badges is that theyâre constant 2.8 across the range. Asking if the image quality is similar doesnât seem unreasonable lol
@@isaiahherve a constant f2.8 aperture is not the only thing that separates the red badge line⊠do more research.
@@rvpcqp one could say that asking an honest question in a comment thread is indeed research đ
They're asking to learn, not presuming to know.
@@joelwybrew nobody says that. Google exists for a reason.
Fuji: What if we made the XT50 less serious AND massively raised the price? It's genius!
Fujirumors is reporting better pre order numbers than any previous X-Txx camera đđđ
@@jerclarkedotorg yay for fuji? Shitty products sell well all the time. Bad for us though, unless.you enjoy having way fewer choices in the lineup and paying far more for the few there are.
@@jerclarkedotorg That doesn't mean a lot. I am a RAW shooter who has never used film sims...but I am getting this camera because I want it as my everday carry and little brother to my XT5. As dismayed as I am about the addition of this gimmicky preset dial, the rest of the camera is just what I want and I will get used to ignoring that dial!!! I wish it was cusomisable though
Thank you
Aw man the x-t50 looks great! But i just got the x-t3 in today..
I wish the 500mm was available for the XH2.
That kit lens is also a bit weird. My 55-200mm is F4.8 at 200mm, the same as the 16-50mm at 50mm. What are they doing? Glad I have my 23mm F2, 18-55mm and 55-200mm combo before they screw up all of their new lens line up.
Where is the "screw up"?
30mm f2.8 âmacroâ, 8mm f3.5, 150-600 f5.6-8, 16-50 f2.8-4.8âŠ.
Slightly regretted getting the X-H2, but Iâm so happy with the ergonomics, the new battery, the viewfinder, and the CF Express card slot
What do you regret about the xh2?
Probably the shitty autofocus and not getting any other brand that is not actually trash
Looking forward to the 500 f/5.6 coming to XF mount in the future. Basically the same size as the Nikon 500 PF and slightly lighter, which means it will be incredibly portable for a lens of its kind. Should work well with a smaller kit.
Hello, I have always been very satisfied with the autofocus and eye-tracking for animals on my XH2S. I am an animal photographer specializing in dogs. Unfortunately, since the last update for the XH2S, the autofocus has become very poor. It often misses the mark by several centimeters. When I check where the focus point (green square) was, which was on the eye, I see in the picture that the autofocus unfortunately focused on the tip of the nose instead. I am more than disappointed. Currently, I have a 2/3 rejection rate, just like in the old Fuji days. I haven't changed any settings, but what has happened since the last update?
soon we can do sports and wildlife on GFX cameras. Absolutely nuts :D
I really wish they would update the 16-55 zoom to be more compact. Sony's new 24-50 is perfect for my needs and I'm about to pull the trigger on switching to an A7CII and that lens.
Thatâs a bummer no xpro 4 thatâs what everybodyâs waiting for
I just bought a T30ii...and I'm kicking myself about the IBIS and autofocus. I'm new to photography. Should I return and upgrade?
No, the X-T30II is a brilliant camera. I got the X-T30 when I started out in digital photography and itâs an amazing camera. Iâve done everything from travel and portraits to landscapes and Astro. You donât need the IBIS, use your ISO to allow you to use faster shutter speeds, and you can fine tune the performance of your Autofocus - pal2tech has some fantastic videos on that. I got to try the X-T50 at the X Summit and itâs a lovely camera but upgrading is completely unnecessary. Itâs a step up, but none of the improvements will make much of a difference to your photos and thereâs nothing that the new camera does that your X-T30II canât do, except for a bit of an improvement in autofocus and IBIS, which will only matter if you want to take photos of birds with massive telephoto lenses.
It would be welcomed if Fuji decided to update the 50-140mm
It would have been nice to have the 16-50mm still be f4 on the long end for portraits. But this it's okay I suppose, 18mm was never wide enough for me.
3:02 You sure that's a combined shutter speed and ISO dial? How is that gonna work as an ISO dial?
I think it was a mistake from lack of sleep, It's not listed as combined on fujis websites and specifications and no indication on photos (as far as i know, the only cameras with a combined SS & ISO are the X-Pro range and the X100)
New AUTOFOCUS features? My xh2s can't focus after the 6.0 firmware. They've broken the camera. It's beyond bad..i'm really disappointed and i loved the camera, but now it's manual focus only...what should i do?
Welcome to sonyđ
By the time , it comes to getting a new camera it might be xt6 coming out you think đ€ ...
Oh my goodness, that 500mm and 100Mp combo for nature photography!!!
Well it is actually something like 360mm in FF terms. Also the camera can only do 7 fps. It is cool, but wildly overpriced compared to what you can do with wildlife setups from Nikon, Canon and Sony which all blow Fuji out of the water when it comes to AI AF for wildlife.
@@spencergiles72 couldn't agree more . Rather than branding the gfx as a wildlife setup they could have announced a 500 mm prime f4 for the X series. They have high fps light to carry and are being used in wildlife . but the MFT gfx won't be able to fight with the sony a9 and the Nikon z series which are like stalwarts of bird photography.. the x series can take on. The z series but fuji is trying to boost gfx now
@@spencergiles72 Thatâs not the point. Medium format is, and always been, and likely always will be niche, with a specific set of things that it dies well above and beyond what other formats do. They all have their niches. Yes, 135 format is the most versatile platform, the platform that does the most things. But weâre not talking about that platform. Weâre talking about medium format. Weâre talking about expanding what medium format uniquely does, and doing the new thing for it in its own way. No one who shoots medium format would ever buy medium format to do what one would normally buy 135 format for. Itâs not meant to compete in that way, or even compete at all. Different artistic tools to do different artistic work. This is just another brush for the medium format artist to paint with-itâs not meant to do the same thing as a 135 format artist would.
@@spencergiles72 Well aKcHeWaLly itâs more like 395mm due to its 0.79 crop factor⊠so comparable to the Nikon 400mm f4.5 for about $250 more. Not a bad deal imo, however an odd choice given the lackluster wildlife options for X mount
@@tygrubb I understand what you are saying but I just think it is a wild choice when tons of X-T5 and H-X2s wildlife shooters are begging for a proper 500mm or 600mm f4 prime or a 180-600 f5.6 to compete with Nikon Z and Sony's offerings...The consumers buying GFX are not at all the same market who is wanting a 400mm tele prime. Why not serve the market that is begging them for teles?
I love fuji and my X-T5 has been a great do everything well camera. But I am also a bird photographer and I am leaving for Nikon Z8 + 180-600mm + 500mm 5.6 pf. Way better IQ and AF in the lenses and bodies. I would prefer to stay with Fuji but they just seem misguided when it comes to wildlife (and that is fine, it isnt their lane but it would make more sense without odd choice like releasing this lens for GFX...)
Are you sure the 1.4x teleconverter takes the 500mm up to 900mm? My admittedly poor math skills calculate the result to be 700mm. đ
Appreciate this is not a top end release, however can anyone advise if, after a lifetime of the X series, Fujifilm has at last joined the modern photographic world with AF ?
The X-T50 is a complete no-go for me. A non-reconfigurable film sim dial, a stupid q-button placement, don't like the slanted top design and it still uses the old ancient batteries, which have to handle the new sensor and IBIS... And the price is sooo high, might as well get a much better X-T5. Imho, the X-T50 is bonkers camera... Thankfully, my x-t20 still works :)
If that XF16-50 was constant F4, it would be a perfect kit lens for sure. What an weird strategy of Fujifilm that I really don't understand.
Just add this to Fujiâs weirdness.
Mask On Nurse Marty. (Ret)
All good but when you buy an xt3 and then an xt4 with a focus behind the other brands and when they improve the focus it turns out that they leave your xt4 the same to continue selling other new cameras. Sorry Fuji, we're not idiots.
Why Pal2Tech does not have those prepuction Fuji XT50 for testing? I saw fuji gave a 2K subscribed channel its pre-production xt50 for testing. Common Fuji
Pal has obviously pissed off someone at Fuji
The 1.4 TC will convert this 500mm lens to 700mm, not 900mm as you stated. But otherwise a great video as usual!
What a weird release the x-t50 is. Here in the Uk with the price reduction on the x-t5 there is not much in it, and the x-t50 loses on pretty much all counts. Yeah it is a bit smaller and lighter, but not that much. Yeah if there was more of a price differential fair enough. But this is a crazy release.
It's like a XS-20 pro
Have you viewed other videos complaining about the XT5 ... I'm a new photographer and have been wanting an XT5 from the XT20. I don't have time to dig up hidden issues. I was hoping you could address the issues about 40 mp not resolving on most lenses but instead only on some of the most expensive lenses when shooting raw files...I must admit at the cost of XT5 this has scared me kind of, a little. I don't mind paying more for great things but paying more only to find dead ends that should not be there is a problem. Also he was saying the build quality was lagging on XT cameras because it's no longer a premium line. All the premium focus is going to the XH line series
I would like Fujifilm to produce a medium format camera with a new 75 megapixel sensor, more compact than the A5000 pocket (maximum 275 gr with battery and card) with a quality fixed lens with a focal range of 25-150 f0. 95 and keep optical viewfinder and generous grip and digital ND filters.
X-T50 looking really good and the price is great as well! Price in kit is still significantly lower than X-T5 body only. Can't wrap my head around people bragging about such good price over value.
It's $1500 with the 15-45mm... or $1800 with the 16-50mm.
Not that "great" of a price...
For all the complaining about the film sim dialâŠOmar tested it and liked it. Said it came in pretty handy. And his second video with the coffee was hilarious.
Omar is a great content creator but does that mean he represents the majority of the fuji community? Most people wont find the film sim with base sims useful at all
@@fojjj1209and how do you know that âmostâ people will find useful or not? You speak for nobody but yourself
@@davidpearson3304 "You speak for nobody but yourself"...
Atleast he speaks for himself, you're just parroting "but Omar said ..."
@@davidpearson3304 because most people do not use base film sims, they use film recipes. Go back here once you find a single comment in any social media platform asking "What is the base film simulation?". Everyone is asking for the recipe which you cannot save in the film simulation dial and that makes it useless 99% of the time. You dont use usually use the same white balance and tone curve for different film simulations because they render differently.
@@davidpearson3304 how about now brother? omar said....
czcams.com/video/K7OFUSFg8wg/video.html
Men... A lens doing F4.8 is not a great lens, specially for a all round service like they assume. During low light photographers will have to crank the ISO so much for getting a decent shot. F4 should be kept as the previous one to replace. For me no problem I use the 16-55 F2.8.
No OIS on this new standard zoom? What a shame.
The xt50 has stabilization so who cares fella?
I'm wondering what the demand is for the x-t50 is.... It would have been way more interesting as the new x-pro to pair with the x100vi imho. đ”âđ« Also if they are just looking to put that sensor in any "retro" body it would be amazing to have film simulations and the ibis of the x100vi to the camcorder format. Haha so sad that style of camera had been perfected for video and then abandoned for the likes of the T3i for content creators t__t especially in the age where video content reigns supreme having a more comfortable and convenient form factor and all the I/o that was being offered it's just silly that it was lost to time.
hi a little off topic but thought i would give my reasons for leaving Fujifilm after several years of buying into fuji
i recently sold all my fuji gear in favour of Sony a7 IV and 3 sony lenses.
Do i regret this .well yes and no really.
Ii do miss my fujikit including the x100 camera .
If fuji every ugraded the 100V1 to the same spec but with a a small zoom 24-85 then i would think abou going back to fuji.I think it would be a worl beater.
I still watch all your Videos though , they are my last link to fuji
All the best

Chris please help. May you debunk the new update. Love my XT5 but after the update I went "love of my life" to looking at sony and canon today because my Auto Focus is null and void now.
Had an issue called them and received great support. All fixed. Then I went Sony and micro 4/3. Have a nice day
My autofocus works just fine with the latest firmware update on my X-T5. Maybe itâs a you problem
@@davidpearson3304 astute observation. You really helped lol
Would love if Fuji focused on a new art type camera, very nichĂš, with some bald moves to separate them from the pixel and af race. Just make a beautiful camera with lots of film sim customisations and accessories. Stand out, be brave.
New kit lens is 1/2 stop slower at f4.8 vs f4 and 7.5mm shorter at long end. Extra 3mm at wide end is great plus much better close focusing. Seems like a great lens for landscape / street but less versatile⊠overall kinda, meh. Was expecting a bit more.
Oh fuji didnât send you a sample device huh.. weird, considering you are one of the bigger fuji content makers.
Fuji sets these introduction prices very high. The 16-50mm lens could be nice, but itâs not fast and the price in Europe will be ⏠799. 800 bucks for a kit lens, thatâs a joke, really.
With the amount of followers you have, its a shame that #Fujifilm did not even invite you or sent those cameras to try them out. So many other CZcamsrs with a few followers got them ...
Hey Pal how come you're the only vlogger that didn't get a pre-release to test? Are you persona non grata now? đ€
The 16-50 will retail for $100 less than the 16-55 here in aus. To me that makes absolutely no sense and its a bit dissapointing because the 18-55 offered such an excellent capable bench mark to the fuji ecosystem offering great results for such a reasonable price tag.
If the price trend continues that way it is, people will be discouraged and default back to brands such as Sony or Nikon entry to mid tier FF for about the same price, and not have to anticipate the ground breaking firmware updates to improve AF, because AF is already absolutely dialled in on tjose kits
I wish they just made more pancake lenses instead.
what? did you say "combined ISO and shutter speed dial"???
wow that would have been cool, but i am afraid there is no ISO dial, and certainly no "combined ISO and shutter speed dial"
Ohh the film sim dial đ€§
Feels like I'm holding a game boy, not a camera..
Long live the xt30 and xs20
no OIS for the new lenses and the slow speed makes them totally uninteresting...
I think Fuji completely run out of ideas, why do we need same camera as x-t5 just in different body and having still XS 10 XS20 it makes no sense this release.
And this lense 16-50, seriously?? It needs updating 16-55 f2.8, also 50-140 and basically needs much more important lenses
That new 16-50 lens is going to be a massive failure for Fuji. Why would I buy it? They increased the aperture range to 4.8, they have decreased the zoom range by 3mm, removed OIS !!! and increased the price! This is not an improvement or replacement for the old lens. If the new lens was 16-55mm f2.8-4 WR OIS lighter with improved optics... then I would buy it maybe đ
I really donât understand why somebody would get thisninstead of the XT5.
Because the xt5 is not convenient for travel, too big for carrying all day in a sling

Discounted or lightly used 2nd hand X-T5 anyone?
Too big. I need the xt50 for travel
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 I agree X-T5 is a bit big for ideal travel. A friend just got one and heading off on her trip and when I played with it a bit I agree. She was trying to get an X-T30ii but they were out if stock so it was either an X-S20 or X-T5 choice. Problem with X-T50 is the price. Some people are saying but now you get IBIS which the X-T30II doesn't. But other camera makers have IBIS on even entry level models. Go back a decade to DSLR times and Pentax had IBIS and weather sealing on entry level models. Still do. Olympus micro 4/3 entry model OM-10 had IBIS in 2015 model. Its a great feature ro have especially when travelling and you face lots of different light conditions you can't control but it's not a premium feature. Should be standard

The XT 50 is a disappointment. It may be a disaster.
I was waiting for the XT50. A smaller and lightweight XT5. At $300 less than the XT5 it is too expensive. The crazy film simulations dial that is not reassignable. The 126s battery. This is a no go for me. Iâll wait for a used XT5 at the same price as the XT5.
I am angry with Fuji. I was on the waiting X100v list for a year when they discontinued manufacturing it. They never officially notified me of the discontinuation of the camera I ordered. They never apologized for discontinuing manufacturing the X100V. They never offered to put me at the head of the line for ordering the X100VI. Nothing.
I preordered the X100VI on the 1st day. There are reportedly one million orders for the camera worldwide. After 10 weeks I cancelled the order. I bought a Sony A7C with the 35/1.8 lens. This may be a better setup than the X100VI. It is certainly cheaper. On 2nd thought maybe Iâll use and love the Fuji gear I already own. Clearly Fuji no longer views me as a valued customer. There are other manufacturers that will treat me better,
I will continue being subscribed to your channel and watching your videos as long as you donât focus too much on Fujiâs new gear.

XT-50 is too expensive.
Get a X-T5 instead...
10:55 good joke
Come on Fuji just ship our X100VI's already!..please..haha might have to cancel the pre order and put that money towards the "rumored" fixed lens GFX next year..the way its going some of us might actually get the VI's by that time anyways....if it's anything like a smaller GFX50R body..I am all for it!..
Fuji has hit a dead end with crop sensors and closed the door on full frame. A film sim dial belongs on a Hello Kitty camera.
Totally disagree. Enjoy your Olympus
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 I've used Fuji since 2006. Who said anything about Olympus?
@@cba4389 You write the words of a traitor, not a Fuji fan
So this camera is aimed at people shooting JPG
Not really. I shoot raw and I'd buy it
Yawn - where is my X-pro 4?
New charcoal colour and pricing âŠ.. Fujifilm is imitating Appelâs marketing strategy âŠ. I like it
GFX CAME OUT AGES AGO AND IT COSTS A LOT MORE
Seems like Sony tech from 4 years ago
Overpriced camera, i can get nikon z6 mark ii for same price brand new
Exactly⊠and the AF is just as good if not better than XT-5 / XH2s. Plus you can get the 400 f4.5 to use on FF or APSC body. Idk why anyone would buy into Fuji at this point
@@rvpcqp af of Nikon z6 ii is spot on!!!!! After all firmware updates, dual slot, grip if needed, better screen, etc....
@@strippedlist got the Zf but returned it; hand cramps after a week of light daily use. Trying to hold out for Z6iii but who knows when thatâll happen⊠might just get z6ii and z50ii or whatever whenever thatâs released for BIF shots. Seems like z6ii is pretty damn good with everything else.
The problem with Fuji cameras Is AF, After a terrible experience with XT5 I Will not buy Fuji again...be careful don't waste your money
Your comment seems to be a bit too drastic. It's not industry leading, but not unusable either. I have about a 90% af hit ratio, so it serves me decently well. In general, there are dozens of thousands Fuji users out there, I doubt that many people would accept an unusable af
the problem is that it is not only unreliable but completely unpredictable, so you are never sure whether the photo will be in focus or not; if you want to spend 2000 euros for a camera with these features, go ahead; maybe I was unlucky but from the number of complaints I have collected around I don't think I'm the only one, certainly not the 90 percent of Fuji users you're talking about are so happy with the Fuji AF, I don't think there are statistics about it; in any case, since I have respect for the money I laboriously earn, I will never spend it again on the Fuji brand which has been implementing an unworthy AF on its cameras for too many years
@@Al60ish just to be clear, I said that my personal AF hit ratio is 90% đ
you are among the lucky ones, good for you; mine was 10 percent
Fujifilm auto focus is still a joke though!
A useless camera to further confuse line up, and two useless lenses. Fuji needs to launch its proper X-Pro5 based on X-Pro 2.. and keep the lineup simple. Lens wise, maybe upgrades of its established excellent glass of yore.
Hei Pal... Uhm, IDK how to say this well in English.
But, I'm curious about what lens to pick that is worth buying in every most/common focal length of Fujifilm X.
Because, you know, the "budget problem". I thought, maybe that's a good thing to discuss for "quick Friday"? đ«Ł
