Fujifilm X-T50 + 15-45mm + XF 23mm f/2.0 R WR silver

FUJIFILM X-T50: compact system camera with 40.2 megapixel sensor, 6.2K video and film simulation dial
FUJIFILM expands the X series with the FUJIFILM X-T50. The mirrorless system camera impresses with its outstanding image quality, its compact body and FUJIFILM's legendary color reproduction technology.

The X-T50 features a high-resolution 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, an X-Processor 5*1 and five-axis image stabilization with up to seven aperture stops*2. Despite these advanced features, it weighs only approx. 438 grams*3, making it one of the lightest models in the X series. In combination with the new FUJINON XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8R LM WR standard zoom lens, the camera is suitable for a wide range of different subjects.

High image quality
An advanced algorithm works in conjunction with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor to ensure fast image processing with high detail sharpness and improved noise performance. The pixel structure has been optimized so that more light reaches the sensor and a standard sensitivity of ISO 125 is achieved, which was previously only available as an extended sensitivity.*4

The electronic shutter of the X-T50 allows ultra-short exposure times of up to 1/180,000 second, which enables very precise control of the exposure. Even on bright days, you can shoot with fast lenses at open aperture to achieve attractive focus effects.

The X-T50's autofocus system offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. The algorithm developed using deep learning technology not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones*5 in focus.

The X-T50 has 20 film simulations, including "REALA ACE" for natural colour reproduction and high-contrast tonality. This means that numerous picture styles are available, which can be selected to suit the respective scene, similar to analogue films.

The camera also offers a digital teleconverter*6, which takes advantage of the high resolution of the 40.2 megapixel sensor to enlarge the subject by 1.4 or 2.0 times at the touch of a button.

Advanced shooting functions
The internal five-axis image stabilizer allows exposure times of up to seven stops longer. Even in very low light, for example in the evening or at night, you can take sharp pictures freehand.

Videos can be recorded with the X-T50 in 6.2K quality at 30 frames per second. The tracking AF follows dynamic objects during movie recording and reliably keeps them in focus.

In AUTO mode, the camera automatically recognizes the subject and automatically selects the optimum shooting settings. Moving objects remain in focus without the photographer's intervention, making it easier to take photos and movies. The mode can be activated at any time using a selection switch on the top of the camera housing.

Modern product design
The design of the camera housing has been further developed and optimized in several ways. Rounded edges and a redesigned handle ensure comfortable and uncomplicated handling.

The film simulation dial on the top of the camera is a new feature. This can be used to intuitively switch between the different film simulation modes depending on the subject or scene, both when taking photos and when filming.

The camera has a built-in flash unit. The brightness of the flash automatically adjusts to the respective subject. Dark scenes or backlit portraits are optimally illuminated.

The folding LCD monitor with 1.84 million pixels offers a precise preview and makes it easier to take photos from unusual angles. The shape of the handgrip and the arrangement of the rear controls have been redesigned to make shooting and filming even more comfortable.

The new FUJINON XF 23mm F2 R WR has a focal length of 35mm (equivalent to KB), making it suitable for a wide range of subjects, from snapshots to landscapes and portraits. It's compact and lightweight, and its fast autofocus is absolutely capable of snapshots.

Special features of the XF 23mm F2 R WR include outstanding resolution performance that exploits the full potential of FUJIFILM's X-Trans CMOS sensor.

In terms of size and design, it is comparable to the already available XF 35mm F2, with which it establishes a stylish new product line of particularly compact and fast XF Lenses. The metal body gives the Lens a premium look and robustness. The aperture ring and focus ring have been designed for the best possible operation.

The Lens is also splash and dust proof and can be used in low temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius - making it the ideal choice for outdoor photographers.

High imaging performance
The optical construction of the FUJINON XF 23mm F2 R WR consists of ten elements in six groups, including two aspherical lenses that guarantee absolutely precise projection onto the sensor plane and thus high sharpness at the same time. The aspherical elements are used in the focus group to keep image quality consistently high over the entire focus range.

Compact and lightweight
With a metal body reminiscent of the XF 35mm F2 R WR in design, the XF 23mm F2 R WR is extremely robust. Despite this, the Lens is very lightweight at only 180g. The compact design of the Lens prevents the optical viewfinder image from being partially obscured on the rangefinder cameras X-Pro2 and X-Pro1*2. The aperture ring and focus ring are designed from the torque and intermediate steps entirely for optimal operability.

*2 With the optical viewfinder, the field of view may be restricted by the lens hood or lens barrel in the peripheral areas.

Fast and quiet autofocus
Autofocus is based on internal focusing*3, in which a stepper motor moves the focus group quickly and quietly. Combined with the Phase Detection AF of the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X-T2, the Lens achieves autofocus speeds of a remarkable 0.05 seconds*4

*3 With this AF system, the comparatively lightweight lens elements in the center or rear of the Lens are moved for focusing.

Splash-proof and dust-proof
The Lens is carefully sealed to protect the inner workings of the XF 23mm F2 R WR from dust and splashing water. The Lens is also still ready for use in low temperatures down to minus ten degrees Celsius. When combined with a FUJIFILM X-Pro2, X-T1, and X-T2 that is also weather sealed, you can shoot in the rain or dusty environments without worry.

Optional Accessories
The LH-XF35-2 metal hood, which is also compatible with the XF 35mm F2 R WR, can be used as a lens hood for this Lens. A silver variant of this hood will also be available at the launch of the XF 23mm F2 R WR, matching the silver model variant of the XF 23mm F2 R WR.
