In our search for the perfect camera, how well does the FUJIFILM X-T50 measure up?

Here’s the thing about cameras: they move with the trends. A little over a decade ago, Instax cameras were all the rage. Fast forward a few years, and everybody wanted a film camera instead.

And towards the end of last year, we saw the resurgence of the old-school digicam . So what, then, makes a good camera? Beyond nostalgia or aesthetics, a good camera is timeless. It needs powerful functions that will ensure longevity even when newer models enter the market, and at the same time, simplicity for ease of use.

A stylish body is, of course, a big bonus. Which brings us to the FUJIFILM X-T50. Striking the perfect balance between form and function, the new camera is designed with creativity in mind.

First things first, its design, reminiscent of a classic film camera, makes it one of the most chic cameras out there. Compact and ergonomic, it features a thumb grip that extends smoothly outward for improved feel and handling. As for the image quality? Cutting-edge, thanks to the camera’s fifth-generation X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor that has an enhanced image-processing algorithm to boost resolution without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio.

Its X-Processor 5 imaging engine works at twice the processing speed of its predecessor, as its five-axis in-body image stabilisation system provides up to 7.0 stops of compensation. There’s also its improved features to consider, including enhanced autofocus and ISO sensitivity.

In short, the FUJIFILM X-T50 delivers the highest image q.
