Fujifilm has announced two new cameras, along with a couple of lenses. They are the Fujifilm X-T50 and the Fujifilm GFX100S II. The former gets the new XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR lens, while the latter gets an impressive GF500mm f/5.6 R LM IOS WR.

The main focus of the product announcement at the Louwman Museum was the Fujfilm X-T50. This compact camera is the successor to the X-T30 Mark II. It has not become the X-T40, because this camera has the fifth-generation X-Processor, the X-Trans CMOS 5 HR.

The camera has been given a new design with improved ergonomics. The special film simulation dial stands out, making it easy to switch between the different options.

There are many new features, a new 40-megapixel sensor, and In-Camera Body Stabilisation of up to 7 stops. In terms of its capabilities, the X-T50 is now closer to the X-T5 and can rightly be called its little brother.

The second camera announced is the second version of the GFX100S. This Mark II version has a 102-megapixel BSI CMOS II sensor with a minimum sensitivity of ISO 80. You can shoot up to 16-bit raw with a high-speed readout.

The camera has been given AI features for subject recognition with deep learning, as well as AI auto white balance. In-Body Image Stabilisation is built in and reaches up to 8 stops through the use of a gyroscope and image sensor information.

The camera has received many improvements, but the weight has been kept down to 883 grams. There is a 400-megapixel pixel shift function and a pixel real colour function that takes a photo for each colour channel.

For the X-T50 and other X models, there is a new compact standard zoom lens. This is the XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR.

The lens offers slightly more wide-angle coverage and has been developed to make maximum use of the new high-resolution sensors. It has an internal zoom mechanism and is weather-resistant. At 240 grams, it makes a perfect combination with the X-T50.

For the GFX system, Fujifilm has released the impressive GF500mm f/5.6 R LM IOS WR. This is the first super-telephoto lens for the GFX system, equivalent to 396mm full-frame.

The lens is surprisingly light at 1,395 grams, with the centre of gravity close to the camera. This provides good stability. Image stabilisation is built in, along with a large number of features for optimal use.

The X-T50 body has a recommended retail price of 1,499 euros. The camera will also be available as a kit.
With the XC15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS power zoom, the price will be 1,599 euros.
Together with the new XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR lens, the price is 1,899 euros.

The price of the GFX100S II is a surprising 5,499 euros.
The GF500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens is priced at 3,999 euros.

All announced products will be available from June 2024.
