Should I upgrade from the Fujifilm X-T30 II to the Fujifilm X-T50?
Upgrading is likely worth it. Both use the Fujifilm X mount, so your lenses fit directly.
What you gain
- 40MP instead of 26MP
- cleaner high ISO
- in-body stabilisation
- 3 years of newer processing and autofocus (2021 → 2024)
What you give up
- weaker video (6.2K 30p vs 4K 30p)
- a heavier body (438g vs 378g)
What it costs
| X-T50 new | £1,399 |
| X-T50 used (MPB, typical) | £1,100 |
| Your X-T30 II trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £440 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £660 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.

Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade from the Fujifilm X-T30 II to the Fujifilm X-T50?
The upgrade is likely worth it. You gain 40MP instead of 26MP, cleaner high ISO, in-body stabilisation, 3 years of newer processing and autofocus (2021 → 2024), but you lose weaker video (6.2K 30p vs 4K 30p) and a heavier body (438g vs 378g).
How much does it cost to upgrade from the X-T30 II to the X-T50?
The X-T50 costs £1,399 new and about £1,100 used at MPB. Trading in a used X-T30 II might bring roughly £440, so the net cost is around £660 buying used (a rough estimate: get quotes from MPB, Wex and Park Cameras).
Will my X-T30 II lenses work on the X-T50?
Both use the Fujifilm X mount, so your lenses fit directly.
