Fujifilm's recent X Summit in Sydney became grounds for the launch of new products, including the intriguing X-T50. This camera isn't a direct replacement for the X-T30 II, which remains available, but rather a new option with a distinct feature set.

The Fujifilm X-T50 boasts a stylish, rounded design unlike anything else in the X-Series. A first for Fujifilm cameras, it features a dedicated film simulation dial for quick access to these popular effects. You can choose from several preset film sims or customize the three available slots (though custom film recipes aren't supported). This dial highlights the importance Fujifilm places on film simulations, a core element of its brand identity.
