FUJIFILM X-T50 / Sony α7C II (ILCE-7CM2)

FUJIFILM X-T50: X-T50 body; the silver and black colours share the same hardware. The X-T5, X-T30 II and X-T30 III are separate models.

Sony α7C II (ILCE-7CM2): ILCE-7CM2 body; black or silver. The 28–60 mm kit uses the same body. The α7C R (ILCE-7CR) and the original α7C are separate models.

SpecificationFUJIFILM X-T50Sony α7C II (ILCE-7CM2)
Release year20242023
Sensor23.5 × 15.7 mm APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR; 40.2 MP effective

The same sensor is used in the X-T5 and X-H2; the high resolution leaves room to crop but makes files larger.

Fujifilm
35 mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS (35.9 × 23.9 mm); about 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for movies

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor; with the circuitry behind the light-sensitive layer it gathers more light in dim conditions.

Sony
ProcessorX-Processor 5

The image processor that runs the autofocus algorithms, film simulations and video encoding.

Lens mountFUJIFILM X

Directly compatible with X-series XF and XC lenses; GF lenses do not fit this body.

Fujifilm
—
Image size3:2 up to 7728 × 5152

This is the pixel size of the largest photo at the sensor’s full resolution.

Fujifilm
—
FilesJPEG, 10-bit 4:2:2 HEIF, 14-bit RAF RAW; TIFF only from in-camera RAW conversion

HEIF stores more colour gradations than JPEG; RAW gives the most flexibility when editing.

Fujifilm
—
Standard ISO125–12,800; extended 64–51,200

Extended ISO values may reduce dynamic range or add noise; the maker counts them outside the standard range.

Fujifilm
—
Stabilisation5-axis sensor shift; up to 7.0 stops; additional digital stabilisation for video

Sensor shift reduces shake even with unstabilised lenses; digital stabilisation crops the image slightly.

Fujifilm
—
ShutterMechanical 4 s (30 s in A mode) to 1/4000 s; electronic up to 1/180,000 s; flash sync 1/180 s

The electronic shutter is silent and allows very short exposures, but fast-moving subjects can appear skewed.

Fujifilm
—
Burst shootingMechanical about 8 fps; electronic 13 fps uncropped, 20 fps with a 1.29× crop

In the 20 fps mode speed drops after 168 JPEGs or 66 compressed RAW frames; buffer depth depends on file type.

Fujifilm
—
AutofocusIntelligent hybrid phase + contrast detection; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle, airplane and train detection

Subject detection finds the chosen subject type in the frame and tries to keep focus on it.

Fujifilm
Fast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 627 for movies; EV −4–20; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and aeroplane recognition

Subject recognition finds the chosen type (for example a bird) in the frame and tracks its eye or body; choosing the right subject type in the menu strengthens tracking.

Sony
Film simulation20 modes; dedicated film simulation dial on the top plate

Film simulations change the colour and tone of JPEG and HEIF files; a RAW file can be processed later with a different simulation.

Fujifilm
—
CardSingle SD/SDHC/SDXC slot; UHS-I and UHS-II, V90

With a single slot, recordings cannot be backed up to two cards at once.

Fujifilm
—
Viewfinder0.39-inch OLED; about 2.36 million dots; 0.62× magnification; 100% coverage

Magnification describes how large the viewfinder image appears; the X-T5’s viewfinder has a higher resolution.

Fujifilm
—
Rear screen3-inch tilting touch LCD; about 1.84 million dots

The screen tilts up and down; it does not flip to the side and face forward, so you cannot see framing when filming yourself.

Fujifilm
—
Video6.2K 29.97p; 4K 59.94p; Full HD up to 240p; MOV H.265 with 24-bit/48 kHz PCM audio

Fujifilm lists about 45 minutes of continuous recording in 6.2K and 4K with face detection off; this may vary with temperature.

Fujifilm
4K up to 59.94p, 10-bit 4:2:2 with XAVC HS and XAVC S (up to 200 Mbps); up to 600 Mbps with XAVC S-I

DPReview says 4K 30p is downsampled from a full-width 7K readout, while 4K 60p is recorded in Super 35 (APS-C) mode with a 1.5× crop. 10-bit 4:2:2 reduces banding when grading colour.

Sony
USBUSB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1)

USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 transfers up to 10 Gbit/s; it is used for file transfer and tethered shooting.

Fujifilm
—
HDMIMicro HDMI (Type D)

Micro HDMI is a small, fragile connector; securing the cable is advisable when connecting an external recorder.

Fujifilm
—
Audio3.5 mm microphone input; USB-C adapter in the box for headphones

There is no separate headphone jack on the body; video audio is monitored through the adapter.

Fujifilm
—
FlashPop-up built-in flash; TTL-compatible hot shoe

The built-in flash can trigger external flashes in commander mode.

Fujifilm
—
BatteryNP-W126S lithium-ion; about 305 frames in normal mode and about 390 in economy mode

The frame count was measured by Fujifilm with the XF35mmF1.4 R; it is clearly lower than with the X-T5’s larger NP-W235 battery.

Fujifilm
NP-FZ100; about 530 shots with the viewfinder, about 560 with the screen (CIPA); about 165 minutes continuous video Sony
Dimensions123.8 × 84 × 48.8 mm (34.2 mm at the thinnest point)

Depth is measured including the grip; the lens is not included.

Fujifilm
—
WeightAbout 438 g with battery and card; body about 389 g

The weight does not include a lens.

Fujifilm
—
WirelessWi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 4.2 low energy

Bluetooth keeps the phone paired and passes location data, while Wi-Fi handles photo transfer.

Fujifilm
—
In the boxNP-W126S battery, USB cable, headphone adapter, shoulder strap, body cap

No separate charger is listed; the battery charges in the camera over USB.

Fujifilm
—
Operating conditions0–40 °C; 10–80% humidity (non-condensing)

Fujifilm does not list weather resistance for the body.

Fujifilm
—
Image stabilisation—Sensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 7.0 stops (CIPA)

Sony measures 7.0 stops with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens on pitch and yaw only; the benefit can differ with other lenses and axes.

Sony
ISO and shutter—Stills ISO 100–51200 (expandable 50–204800); mechanical shutter 1/4000–30 s, electronic to 1/8000 s; up to 10 fps continuous Sony
Viewfinder and screen—0.39-inch XGA OLED viewfinder, 2.36 million dots, about 0.70× magnification; 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen (1.04 million dots) Sony
Card slot—Single SD slot, UHS-I/UHS-II compatible

With one slot there is no backup recording to two cards at once. High-bit-rate video needs a fast UHS-II card.

Sony
Connections—USB-C (5 Gbps, USB 3.2); micro HDMI (Type D); 3.5 mm mic and headphone; Multi Interface Shoe; Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz; Bluetooth 4.2
