Fujifilm X-T50 Anthracite + Sigma 23mm f1.4 DC DN (C)

Fujifilm X-T50

The FUJIFILM X-T50 offers photographers a handy yet powerful tool. It is equipped with the advanced X-Processor 5 and the same high-resolution image sensor found in the top-of-the-range X-series models. Thanks to its intuitive operating concept, the X-T50 is the perfect choice for photographers of all experience levels who want to capture high-quality images without encountering complexity.

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 stops *2. Despite these advanced features, it weighs only approx. 438 grams *3, making it one of the lightest models in the X series.

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.

The X-T50's electronic shutter allows ultra-fast shutter speeds of up to 1/180,000 of a second, enabling very precise exposure control. Even on bright days, you can shoot with fast lenses at open aperture to achieve attractive focus effects. The autofocus system of the X-T50 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 color reproduction and high-contrast tonality. This means that numerous image styles are available, which can be selected to suit the respective scene, similar to analog films.
The camera also offers a digital teleconverter *6, which utilizes 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 f-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 filming and keeps them reliably 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 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 foldable 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 layout of the rear controls have been redesigned to make shooting and filming even more comfortable.

The SIGMA 23mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary defines itself as the ideal lens for mirrorless APS-C cameras. It combines a user-friendly angle of view, first-class optical performance and the impressive speed of a large F1.4 aperture in a compact and lightweight lens body. This lens combines the comprehensive know-how of the Contemporary series and is an optimal choice for use with mirrorless APS-C cameras

.

Thanks to the exceptional speed of F1.4, the lens achieves excellent resolution even with a wide-open aperture and at the same time enables impressive bokeh. This wide-angle lens impresses in a wide range of applications, including landscape, portrait and tabletop photography. Special attention has been paid to the compactness of the lens body to make the most of the mobility advantages of mirrorless cameras

.

The Contemporary series offers a selection of compact and lightweight F1.4 fixed focal length lenses in APS-C format that are surprisingly easy to carry. If you want to keep your equipment slim and compact without compromising on image quality, then this lens will undoubtedly meet your expectations and you won't want to be without it.

Special features of the Fujifilm X Mount version

A control algorithm that optimizes AF drive and communication speed has been specially developed for X Mount interchangeable lenses. In addition to realizing high-speed AF, the lens also supports AF-C (continuous AF) and is compatible with the camera's internal aberration correction*. The bayonet of the lens is fitted with a rubber lip to prevent the ingress of dust and water droplets and to enable use in a wide range of conditions

*Function only available in combination with supporting cameras. Functionality may vary depending on camera model.

High-quality coating

An ideal lens directs the incident light through all lenses to the sensor

.

If, on the other hand, some of the light is reflected by individual lenses, not only is the light yield reduced; the reflections within the lens create ghost images and flare spots or reduce the contrast. To

prevent this, the 23mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary uses Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML), which reduces stray light and ghost

ing. The

result is clear, sharp and high-contrast images without annoying lens flares
