The short version

The Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X-T50 are both Fujifilm X-T bodies. The X-T50 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2024. At launch the X-T4 was 1,699 USD and the X-T50 1,399 USD, making the X-T50 the more affordable of the two.

On paper the X-T4 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 15 fps continuous shooting, a 3.69M-dot electronic viewfinder, and 500-shot battery life, with a few smaller wins on top of that.

The X-T50 isn't far behind. It hits back with 40.2 MP of resolution, AI subject-detection AF, and 6K/30p video, with a couple more edges beyond that.

So which one? If you want 15 fps continuous shooting, get the X-T4. If 40.2 MP of resolution is closer to what you actually need, the X-T50 is the smarter buy. And the X-T50 costs less — 1,399 USD at launch.
