FUJIFILM X-T50 / Sony α7R V (ILCE-7RM5)

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 α7R V (ILCE-7RM5): ILCE-7RM5 body, black. Kit options vary by market; the α7R IV and α7R VI are separate models.

SpecificationFUJIFILM X-T50Sony α7R V (ILCE-7RM5)
Release year20242022
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 back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS; approx. 61.0 MP effective (62.5 MP total)

61 MP allows heavy cropping and large prints; in return files are big and call for fast cards and a capable computer.

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
693 phase-detection points in full frame; 567 phase + 25 contrast points in APS-C mode 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
0.64-inch Quad-XGA OLED, 9,437,184 dots, 100% coverage, approx. 0.90× magnification; 60 or 120 fps

The 120 fps setting shows moving subjects more smoothly in the finder at the cost of more battery drain.

Sony
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
8K 24p (25p) and 4K 60p (50p); XAVC S (H.264) and XAVC HS (H.265)

H.265 (XAVC HS) gives smaller files at the same quality but needs a more powerful computer to edit.

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; approx. 440 shots with viewfinder, approx. 530 with monitor (CIPA) 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.

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.

Processor and AI—BIONZ XR image processor and dedicated AI processing unit

The AI unit uses human body and pose data for subject recognition; Sony says vehicles and insects are now recognised as well as people.

Sony
ISO—Stills ISO 100–32000 (expanded 50–102400); movies ISO 100–32000 equivalent Sony
Image stabilisation—5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation; 8.0 stops per CIPA (with FE 50 mm F1.2 GM, pitch/yaw only)

The 8-stop figure applies to a specific lens and test condition; the effect varies with other lenses. Active mode in video adds stabilisation but crops the image.

Sony
Shutter and burst—1/8000–30 s and Bulb; mechanical and electronic shutter; 10 fps in Hi+ mode

Exposures longer than 30 seconds need Bulb mode or an external intervalometer.

Sony
Monitor—3.2-inch TFT, 2,095,104 dots; fully articulating (up 98°, down 40°, side 180°, rotation 270°)

The screen both flips out to the side and tilts on the horizontal axis; this four-way design helps with vertical shots and gimbal work.

Sony
Pixel Shift—Pixel Shift Multi Shooting: 4 or 16 shots

The sensor is shifted by a pixel between frames; frames combined on a computer give higher colour resolution or a bigger image. It needs static subjects and a tripod.

Sony
Card slots—Two slots; each takes SD (UHS-I/UHS-II) or CFexpress Type A

CFexpress Type A clears the buffer faster in 8K and long bursts; SD cards also work.

Sony
Connectivity—USB-C (10 Gbit/s, USB 3.2), power and charging via USB Power Delivery; Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4/5 GHz); Bluetooth 5.0

USB PD lets the camera run from a power bank or adapter while shooting; 10 Gbit/s suits file transfer and streaming.

Sony
Size and weight—131.3 × 96.9 × 82.4 mm; approx. 723 g with battery and card Sony
Operating temperature—0–40 °C Sony
